Example:  Director retires at Normal Retirement Age with 16  Years of Service.  The Director’s Retirement Benefit is determined as follows:

Example:  Director retires at age 66 with 16  Years of Service.  The Director’s Retirement Benefit is determined as follows:

3.3           Time and Manner of Payment.
 
(a)            The Retirement Benefit provided under Section 3.2(a), the Disability Benefit payable under 3.2(b), or the benefit payable after the Director’s death in accordance with 3.2(c), shall each be payable in annual installments over a ten (10) year period.
