that a Participant must be employed on the date a profit sharing contribution
under the Plan is actually credited to the Accounts of otherwise eligible
Participants in order to receive such a contribution;

particular Plan Year, only Participants who have completed one thousand
(1,000) Hours of Service during such Plan Year and who are employed by the
Participating Employer on the date the profit sharing contribution for such Plan
Year is credited to the Accounts of the otherwise eligible Participants shall be
eligible to receive an allocation of such profit sharing contribution.
