Eligibility Requirements

Election to Participate
		
			.  Participation in the Plan is voluntary.  In order to participate in the Plan, an Eligible Associate must complete a Payroll Authorization electing the amount of his Salary to be deducted each pay period and contributed to the Plan, subject to the limitations of Section 5.1.  Such Payroll Authorization must be completed and submitted in such form and manner, whether written, electronic or otherwise, as may be designated from time to time by the Committee.  
		
Effective Date of Participation
		
			.  Participation in the Plan by an Eligible Associate shall become effective as of the first payroll period that commences on or after the first day of the month coinciding with or immediately following the date on which he completes the eligibility requirements of Section 4.1 provided he has submitted a Payroll Authorization pursuant to Section 4.2 and such Payroll Authorization is received on or before the Election Deadline for such payroll period.  An Eligible Associate who does not elect to participate upon initially becoming eligible for participation pursuant to Section 4.1 may subsequently elect to participate by completing a 
		

		 

		

			{JX249919.6}-  9  -

		

 

		

			 

		

		Payroll Authorization and submitting it pursuant to Section 4.2 at any time.  Such Payroll Authorization shall become effective as of the payroll period specified by the Eligible Associate provided it is received on or before the Election Deadline for such payroll period, and otherwise shall be effective as of the next payroll period.
		

		
			Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section or of Section 4.1, individuals who became employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates as an Eligible Associate on April 28, 2017, (the “Hire Date”) in connection with the acquisition by Hancock Whitney Bank of certain assets of First NBC Bank from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation shall commence participation as of the first payroll period that commences on or after the first day of the month coinciding with or immediately following the Hire Date, or, if later, his attainment of 18 years of age, provided he has submitted a Payroll Authorization pursuant to Section 4.2 and such Payroll Authorization is received on or before the Election Deadline for such payroll period.

Such rehired Participant shall be reinstated to participation in the Plan, based on his elections in the Payroll Authorization in effect at the time of his termination, as soon as administratively feasible but in no event later than the last day of the payroll period following the payroll period during which he is rehired.

Change of Classification

A Participant who ceases to be employed as an Eligible Associate shall become ineligible to participate in the Plan.  In such an event, all Payroll Deductions pursuant to Article V on behalf of such Participant shall cease with the last pay period for which he is employed as an Eligible Associate and, unless he is reinstated as an Eligible Associate within thirty-one (31) days as provided in Section 4.4, his employment shall be treated as terminated for purposes of this Plan and the balance of his Stock Share Account shall be distributed as provided in Section 11.1.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, if a Participant becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan because he ceases to be employed as an Eligible Associate but such Participant continues to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate, his payroll deductions shall cease as provided herein but his employment shall not be treated as terminated and his Stock Share Account balance shall not be distributed unless and until he incurs an actual termination of employment or requests a withdrawal under the provisions of this Plan.  In the event such a former Participant subsequently returns to employment as an Eligible Associate, he shall be eligible to participate in the Plan immediately upon such reemployment as an Eligible Associate.

			.  Payroll Deductions may be terminated at any time by written or electronic directions filed by the Participant in such manner as may be determined from time to time by the Committee.
