Participant in the Plan on the Effective Date and shall remain a Participant for
as long as provided by and in accordance with the provisions of any Benefit
Agreement or Sub-Plan. A person who meets the eligibility requirements of any
Benefit Agreement or Sub-Plan after the Effective Date shall become a
Participant in the Plan as of the date the person meets the eligibility
