 as the investment alternatives offered under our 401(k) Plan (except for any investment options that may only be offered under the tax qualified 401(k) Plan). Each participant allocates the amounts the participant voluntarily defers among the available investment alternatives. Participants may change their allocations at any time, provided that any portion of a participant’s account that is subject to the Danaher Common Stock investment alternative must remain allocated to that investment alternative until the account is distributed to the participant. Participants are at all times fully vested in amounts they voluntarily defer into their DCP accounts.

Distributions

In general, a participant may not receive a distribution of their vested EDIP or ECP account balance (including any amounts voluntarily deferred) until after their employment with Danaher terminates. A participant generally may elect to receive a distribution of their DCP account balance following their termination of employment or on a specified future date prior to their termination of employment. The following chart generally describes the timing and manner of distribution of EDIP, ECP and DCP account balances:
