received, or (ii) the distribution is subject to a forfeiture penalty equal to

event that the credit rating of the Company drops below Investment Grade, all
amounts credited to each Participant’s Supplemental Salary Deferral Account, his
Supplemental Company Account, and his Supplemental Profit Sharing Account,
including gains and losses credited in accordance with Section 4.5 to the date
of distribution, shall be distributed to him in a lump sum as soon as
