subject to any limitations imposed by the Committee from time to time, shall be
made by such means as the Employer and Trustee may agree, and may include use of
Trustee's interactive voice response system, known as KeyInvest(R). The Trustee
shall make such adjustments in Participants' Accounts to reflect any investment
gains or losses such Participants' Accounts would experience if funds were
actually invested pursuant to the Participant's election. Participants may make
changes in deemed investment elections at such time, and in such manner
(including through the use of KeyInvest(R)) as may be specified by the Committee
from time to time. Any deemed investment election, or changes to deemed
investment elections, shall remain in effect until further changed by the

debited by the amount of the distribution as well by an additional amount equal
to the amount elected in the Joinder Agreement, as a penalty to be forfeited and

applicable, as elected by the Participant) to the Participant's Beneficiary, or

not revocable, then the forfeited amounts shall continue to be held in trust
until full satisfaction of all of Employer's obligations under this Plan.

amended, it shall be deemed severed from this Plan, of no further force or
effect, and shall not affect any other provision of this Plan which shall
