of disability (disability being defined as being physically or
mentally incapable of performing either the Employee’s usual
duties as an Employee or any other duties as an Employee that the
Company reasonably makes available and such condition is likely to
remain continuously and permanently, as determined by the Company
or employing subsidiary), this Option may be exercised in full by

estate, or the person who acquires this Option by will or the laws
of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason of the death of
Employee, may exercise this Option in full at any time during the
period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the third
anniversary of the date of Employee’s death.
(c) If
Employee’s employment with the Company terminates by reason
of retirement, applicable management of the Company and/or business
unit may recommend to the Committee or its delegate, as applicable,
that this Option be retained. In such event, the Committee or its
delegate, as the case may be, shall consider such recommendation
and may, in the Committee’s or such delegate’s sole
discretion, approve the retention of this Option following such
retirement, in which case the Option may be exercised by Employee
at any time during the period ending on the Expiration Date, but
only as to the number of shares of Stock Employee was entitled to
purchase on the date of such exercise in accordance with the
schedule set forth above. If, after retirement as set forth above,
Employee should die, this Option may be exercised in full by
Employee’s estate (or the person who acquires this Option
by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or otherwise by reason of the
death of the
Employee)
during the period ending on the earlier of the Expiration Date or
the third anniversary of the date of Employee’s
death.

for any reason other than those set forth in subparagraphs (a)
through (c) above, this Option may be exercised by Employee only
during the 90 calendar days following Employee’s termination
date , (which 90-day period shall not be extended by any
notice period mandated under local law) , or by
Employee’s estate (or the person who acquires this Option by
will or the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise by reason
of the death of the Employee) during a period of six months
following Employee’s death if Employee dies during such
90-day period, but in each case only as to the number of shares of
Stock Employee was entitled to purchase hereunder upon exercise of
this Option as of the date Employee’s employment so
terminates. Any Options not exercised during the
applicable period shall be automatically forfeited.
This Option shall not be exercisable in any
event prior to the expiration of six months from the date of grant
hereof or after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant
hereof (the “Expiration Date”) notwithstanding anything
hereinabove contained. The purchase price of Stock as to which this
