ACTUAL PARTICIPATION. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from all eligible Employees and Nonemployee Directors those to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award.

Participation. Any Employee who satisfies the requirements of Section 3.01 shall become a Participant as of the first Plan Year in which such requirements are met. The Employee shall continue to be a Participant until the payment or forfeiture of the balance of the Employee’s Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employee must be a member of the Employer's select group of management or highly compensated employees as of the end of the applicable Plan year in order to be credited with any additional amounts based upon Excess Earnings for such Plan Year.

Participation. The Administrator may, from time to time, select from among all Eligible Individuals, those to whom one or more Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award, which shall not be inconsistent with the requirements of the Plan. No Eligible Individual shall have any right to be granted an Award pursuant to the Plan.

Participation. Borrowers recognize and acknowledge that the Bank may sell participating interests in the Loans (or either of them) to one or more financial institutions (the "Participants"). Upon receipt of notice of the identity and address of each such Participant, Borrowers shall thereafter supply such Participant with the same information and reports communicated to the Bank, whether written or oral. Borrowers hereby acknowledge that each Participant shall be deemed a holder of the Revolver Note to the extent of its participation, and Borrowers hereby waive their rights, if any, to offset amounts owing to the Bank from Borrowers against any Participant's portion of such Revolver Note.

Participation. Officers of the Company who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“Executive Officers”), management-level employees with “vice president” titles (together with the Executive Officers, “Executive Participants”), and certain other employees identified by the Committee upon the recommendation of the CEO (“Other Participants”), shall participate in the LTIP. Each participating employee is referred to herein as a “Participant”.

Participation. No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.

Participation. No employee shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant.

Participation. As a condition to becoming a Participant and being entitled to the benefits and protections provided under the Plan, each Eligible Employee must execute and deliver to the Company, within 30 days after the later of the Effective Date and the date such individual is designated by the Committee as an Eligible Employee, a written agreement in the form attached hereto as [Exhibit I] (or in such other form as may be satisfactory to the Company) to be bound by the restrictive covenants set forth in Article VII. [Schedules A], B and C hereto list the Eligible Employees who have satisfied the conditions for Plan participation and the date as of which each such Eligible Employee became a Participant. The Committee shall cause [Schedules A], B and C to be updated from time to time to reflect the Participants who are currently participating in the Plan. An employee who becomes an Eligible Employee on or after January 1, 2014 shall become a [Schedule C] Participant. However, if an Eligible Employee is newly hired or promoted into a position reflected on [Schedule B] as of June 6, 2014, the Eligible Employee shall become a [Schedule A] Participant.

Participation. Subject to [Section 3.2], as well as the remaining terms of this Agreement, the Executive shall remain eligible to receive benefits hereunder during the term of this Agreement.

This Plan shall apply to all employees (“Participants”) who are provided with and who sign an individual Compensation Plan (“Compensation Plan” and, together with this Sales Incentive Plan, the “Compensation Agreements”) acknowledging the terms set forth therein and the terms set forth in this Plan. No commissions, advances or other sales-based compensation will be earned by a Participant pursuant to the Compensation Agreements unless the Participant signs and returns the Compensation Plan to the Company within 15 days of receipt of the Compensation Agreements.
