If one team, in this example, receives 100 points or more below the line, then this team becomes vulnerable. If, in this example, East/West receives twice in a row 100 points or more below the line, then East/West receive a bonus of 700 points above the line.
If, however, North/South receives 100 points or more below the line before East/West, then North/South become vulnerable. This means that both teams are vulnerable, and the first team to receive another 100 points or more below the line then receives 500 bonus points above the line.
