one time; provided that, if the number of shares so delivered
includes a fractional share, such number shall be rounded to the
nearest whole number of shares. If the Participant has in effect
a Deferral Election pursuant to Section 6(c), then such shares
shall be delivered in five equal annual installments (together
with dividends attributable to such shares credited to such
Deferred Stock Account), with the first such installment being
delivered on the first anniversary of the Delivery Date; provided
that, if in order to equalize such installments, fractional
shares would have to be delivered, such installments shall be

Stock needed to fulfill its obligations under this  Section 8.

in the Trust and the assets thereof, and their rights under the
Plan shall be as general creditors of the Company, unaffected by
