Election to Participate. If an initial Participation Agreement is required by the Plan Administrator, an Eligible Employee who files a properly completed and executed Participation Agreement with the Plan Administrator shall have elected to participate in the Plan and to reduce his compensation by the amount necessary to provide the elected Benefit Option(s). An Eligible Employee entitled to participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 3.1 must file a properly completed and executed Participation Agreement with the Plan Administrator within 30 days of his or her date of hire, within 30 days of his or her otherwise becoming an Eligible Employee or within such other time period as determined by the Plan Administrator. Such Participation Agreement shall be binding for the Period of Coverage to which it applies and may not be modified or revoked by the Participant or by the Employer or Participating Employer, except as provided in Article VIII or Article X. If an initial Participation Agreement is required by the Plan Administrator and an Eligible Employee does not enroll in the Plan when initially eligible, then he or she may enroll in the Plan as of the first day of a succeeding Plan Year by filing a properly completed and executed Participation Agreement with the Plan Administrator during an open enrollment period preceding such Plan Year. After initially eligible, an Eligible Employee may timely file a new properly completed and executed Participation Agreement with the Plan Administrator to enter the Plan during a Plan Year only in accordance with Article VIII.
