(b) A distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made at least annually for a specified period of 10 years or more; and

(c) A distribution to the extent that the distribution is required under 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(9).

(3) The provisions of subsection (1) of this section apply to any portion of a distribution of benefits under the pension program or the individual account program even though the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includable in gross income.
