PARTICIPATION. No Employee or Nonemployee Director 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. An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant on the later of the Effective Date or the first day actively employed by an Employer.

Participation. The Committee or the Board shall designate from time to time those Employees or classes of Employees who are Participants in the Plan. In the event the Committee or the Board designates certain Participants by job title, position, function or responsibilities, an Employee who is appointed to such a position after the Effective Date of this Plan shall be a Participant upon the date he or she begins his or her duties in such position, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board. The Board may add or remove individual Participants or classes of Participants at any time prior to a Change in Control; provided, however, that the removal of individual Participants or classes of Participants from the Plan shall not be effective for at least 12 months after notification to the Participants of such Committee or Board action. If a Change in Control occurs during such 12-month period, any such action to remove individual Participants or classes of Participants shall be null and void.

Participation. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, select those Eligible Employees who will be permitted to participate in the Plan (each, a “Participant”). Each such Participant shall be notified in writing and his or her name shall be set forth on [Exhibit A] attached hereto, which [Exhibit A] shall be updated by the Committee from time to time.

Participation. Participation in the Plan shall be limited to Employees of the Company or an Affiliate selected by the Committee and to Directors. Options intending to qualify as Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to employees of the Company or any subsidiary within the meaning of the Code. Participation is entirely at the discretion of the Committee and is not automatically continued after an initial period of participation.

Participation. Recognizing the need to make special retirement and other compensation or employee benefit provisions for certain Employees, the Company may, from time to time and in its best judgment, designate such other individual Employees or groups of select management or highly compensated Employees as being eligible to receive benefits under this Plan. Any such Employees or groups of Employees, and the benefits applicable to them, will be described in the Appendices attached to this Plan.

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. 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.

Participation. 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.

Participation. Participation in this Plan by an eligible employee is voluntary with respect to the right to elect to contribute Basic Deferrals and be credited with Matching Deferrals but is mandatory with respect to any Company Retirement Deferrals credited under [Section 3.4(d)].
