This option shall not be exercisable until at least one year has expired after the granting of this option, during which time the Participant shall have been in the continuous employ of the Corporation or an Affiliate; provided, however, that the option shall become exercisable immediately in the event of a Qualified Termination of Employment of the Participant, without regard to the limitations otherwise set forth below in this subsection. At any time during the period of this option after the end of the first year, the Participant may purchase up to 30 percent of the shares covered by this option; after the end of the second year, an additional 30 percent; and after the end of the third year, the remaining 40 percent of the total number of shares covered by the option, so that, upon the expiration of the third year, the Participant will have become entitled to purchase all shares subject to this option; provided, however, that if the Participant's employment is terminated for any reason other than death, Retirement, or Total and Permanent Disability, this option shall only be exercisable for three months following such termination and only for the number of shares which were exercisable on the date of such termination. In no event, however, may this option be exercised more than ten (10) years after the date of its grant.

Term of Exercise. One-third (1/3) of the total Option Shares shall become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date contingent upon continued employment of the Participant with the Company on each such anniversary and shall continue to be exercisable within the period ending on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, except as otherwise provided under the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Participant’s Retirement after the first anniversary of the Grant Date and prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date, not less than a pro rata portion of the Option Shares shall be exercisable based on the number of days during the three-year period from the Grant Date the Participant was employed by the Company. Upon a Participant’s Retirement, the Committee reserves the right to cause all Option Shares to become exercisable. Notwithstanding anything in this Award to the contrary, if, within the two-year period immediately following a Change in Control, the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for Cause or terminated by the Participant for Good Reason, one hundred percent (100%) of the Option Shares shall become fully exercisable.

Exercise of Option. This Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times prior to its expiration; provided that the first exercise of this Option shall not occur before the fourth anniversary of the date on which the Option was granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company is terminated by reason of the Participant’s Retirement or death before the fourth anniversary of the date on which the Option was granted, the Participant (or, in the case of death, the Participant’s Beneficiary) may first exercise this Option on the later of the first anniversary of the date on which this Option was granted or the effective date of the Participant’s Retirement or death. Notice of the exercise of all or any part of this Option shall be given in the manner prescribed by the Secretary of the Corporation. Such notice shall be irrevocable, shall specify the number of shares to be purchased and the purchase price to be paid therefore, and must be accompanied by the payment of the purchase price as provided in paragraph 3(c) herein. Upon the exercise of such Option, the Common Stock purchased will be distributed.

Term of Exercise. One-third (1/3) of the total Option Shares shall become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date contingent upon continued employment of the Participant with the Company on each such anniversary and shall continue to be exercisable within the period ending on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date, except as otherwise provided under the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Participant’s Retirement after the first (1st) anniversary of the Grant Date and prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Grant Date, not less than a pro rata portion of the Option Shares shall be exercisable based on the number of days during the three (3)-year period from the Grant Date the Participant was employed by the Company. Upon a Participant’s Retirement, the Committee reserves the right to cause all Option Shares to become exercisable.
