ELIGIBILITY

Section 2.1 Employer Determination

Each year, prior to the Enrollment Period, the Employer shall determine those Eligible Employees who may participate in the Plan during the subsequent Plan Year. Such determination shall be made in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 2.2.

Section 2.2 Eligibility Requirements

An Eligible Employee may participate in the Plan if such Eligible Employee is projected to have Excess Compensation in the subsequent Plan Year. In determining whether an Eligible Employee is projected to have Excess Compensation, the Employer shall look to the Eligible Employee’s Base Compensation for the then current calendar year and the maximum projected bonus potential payable in the first quarter of the subsequent Plan Year based on the Employee’s current grade and salary level. If the sum of the Eligible Employee’s Base Compensation and the maximum projected bonus potential exceeds the limitation set forth in Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, the Employee is eligible to participate in the Plan during the subsequent Plan Year.

The Plan is intended to qualify for the exemptions provided under Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 for plans that are not tax-qualified and that are maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

In order to become effective, an Eligible Employee’s deferral election must be filed with such employee’s Personnel Department on or before the last day of the Enrollment Period. Any election filed after the Enrollment Period shall not become effective.

An Eligible Employee who elects to participate within an Enrollment Period shall become a Participant on the first day of the next following Plan Year.
