This excerpt taken from the EYE 10-K filed Feb 24, 2009. ENROLLMENT AND PARTICIPATION 3.1 Open Enrollment. For each Plan Year, an Eligible Employee, other than an Eligible Salesperson, may elect to enroll in the Plan by completing Enrollment Forms during the Open Enrollment Period preceding such Plan Year. If an Eligible Employee fails to complete Enrollment Forms during an Open Enrollment Period, he or she shall not be eligible to make Annual Deferrals for such Plan Year but shall remain eligible to do so for a subsequent Plan Year; provided, that he or she continues his or her status as an Eligible Employee and completes Enrollment Forms during a subsequent Open Enrollment Period. 3.2 First Year of Eligibility. An employee who becomes an Eligible Employee, other than an Eligible Salesperson, on or after the first day of a Plan Year, may for his or her first year of initial eligibility, complete Enrollment Forms during the Open Enrollment Period that shall end no later than 30 days after the Eligible Employees Plan Entry Date. In the event an Eligible Employee completes Enrollment Forms during the Open Enrollment Period following his or her Plan Entry Date, such elections made thereunder shall only apply to compensation paid for services performed following receipt of such Enrollment Forms by the Company. In the event an Eligible Employee fails to complete Enrollment Forms during such Open Enrollment Period, he or she shall not be eligible to make Annual Deferrals under the Plan for the remainder of the Plan Year but shall remain eligible to do so for a subsequent Plan Year; provided, that he or she continues his or her status as an Eligible Employee and completes Enrollment Forms during a subsequent Open Enrollment Period. This Section 3.2 shall not apply to any Eligible Employee who was a former Eligible Employee at any time during the 24-month period ending on such Eligible Employees subsequent Plan Entry Date unless the balance of all Deferral Accounts was paid to the Eligible Employee prior to his or her subsequent Plan Entry Date. 3.3 Automatic Enrollment for Restoration or Discretionary Credits.
