If no such employment agreement exists, Participant’s employment with Golfsmith, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate shall be treated as terminating by reason of a “Disability” if the Committee determines that his or her employment terminated because he or she no longer was able to perform the essential functions of his or her job as a result of a physical or mental illness even with reasonable accommodation by Golfsmith or a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate.

               (d)  Retirement . Participant’s employment shall be treated as terminating by reason of Retirement if his or her employment with Golfsmith, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate terminates for any reason other than Cause on or after the date he or she reaches at least age 60.

Such notice must be signed by the Participant or any other person then having the right to exercise the Option.

               (b) At the time the Participant exercises the Option, the Participant shall pay the Option Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised to the Company (i) in United States dollars by personal check, bank draft or money order; (ii) subject to such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may prescribe, by tendering (either by actual delivery or attestation) unencumbered Shares previously acquired by the Participant having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price of the Shares for which the Option is so exercised; (iii) subject to such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may prescribe, a cashless (broker-assisted) exercise that complies with all applicable laws; or (iv) by a combination of the consideration provided for in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii).
