A Participant is eligible to participate in the Plan on the first of the month

Plan October 1.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Participant" shall not include (i) any
employee described in Appendix B, (ii) any employee covered by a collective
bargaining agreement between an employee representative and the Company or

employee's participation in this Plan, or (iii) any employee who is designated as
nonexempt or hourly by the Company (or to the extent applicable, any Affiliate)

An individual shall be treated as an "employee" for purposes of this Plan

Company (or to the extent applicable, any Affiliate) on its payroll, personnel and
benefits system as an employee, and (ii) he is paid for services rendered during
such period through the payroll system, as distinguished from the accounts

In addition, an individual shall be treated as an Exempt Employee for purposes of
this Plan only if he is actually classified during such period by the Company or an
Affiliate on its payroll, personnel and benefits system as an Exempt Employee."
