An Eligible Executive shall become a Participant in the Plan by submitting the Participant Election Forms, including
such other documentation and information as the Committee may reasonably request, to the Committee during the Initial Election
Period established by the Committee prior to the beginning of the first Plan Year in which the Eligible Executive shall be eligible to
participate in the Plan. The Committee may establish a special Initial Election Period for Eligible Executives entering the Plan during
a Plan Year (if the Eligible Executive is not already a participant in another plan which is aggregated with this Plan under Code

revoke a Participant's future participation in the Plan at any time and for any reason. Such Participant shall thereafter have no right to
make new deferral or distribution elections, but shall continue to have the right to make investment elections with respect to existing
deferral accounts.
