The Option may
not be exercised prior to the date one year from the date of the
Stock Option Agreement of which these terms and conditions are a
part (the Agreement). Thereafter, the Option may be exercised in
installments as follows:
|
|
|
|
(a) Beginning
on the date one year from the date of the Agreement, the Option may
be exercised to the extent of 33% of the shares originally covered
thereby;
|
|
|
|
(b) Beginning
on the date two years from the date of the Agreement, the Option
may be exercised to the extent of an additional 33% of the shares
originally covered thereby;
|
|
|
|
(c) Beginning
on the date three years from the date of the Agreement, the Option
may be exercised to the extent of an additional 34% of the shares
originally covered thereby; and
|
|
|
|
(d) To the
extent not exercised, installments shall be cumulative and may be
exercised in whole or in part;
|
all subject to
the Agreement and these terms and conditions and any rules and
regulations established by the Committee pursuant to the
Plan.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if your stock option grant included an incentive
stock option (ISO), the ISO portion of the grant would be maximized
within permissible regulatory limits. This could result in a
different number of options vesting on the first three anniversary
dates of the grant under the nonqualified option (NQO) and/or the
ISO portion of the grant than the number indicated by the schedule
above. In any event, the total number of NQOs and ISOs in the
grant, will, as a whole, vest according to the schedule above. Your
grant information (available online via Smith Barney's Benefit
Access website - www.benefitaccess.com or through a Smith
Barney phone representative) will reflect the specific number of
ISOs and NQOs vesting on the specific dates.

The Stock
Appreciation Right, if any, granted by the Company to the Optionee
under the Agreement shall entitle the Optionee to receive, without
payment to the Company and as the Optionee may elect, either (a)
that number of shares of Stock determined by dividing (i) the total
number of shares of Stock subject to the Option (or the portion or
portions thereof which the Optionee from time to time elects to use
for purposes of this clause (a)), multiplied by the amount by which
the fair market value of a share of Stock on the day this right is
exercised exceeds the option price set forth in the Agreement (such
amount being hereinafter referred to as the Spread), by (ii) the
fair market value of a share of Stock on the exercise date; or (b)
cash in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the total number of
shares of Stock subject to the Option (or the portion or portions
thereof which the Optionee from time to time elects to use for
purposes of this clause (b)), by (ii) the amount of the Spread; or
(c) a combination of shares of Stock and cash, in amounts
determined as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above; all subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein and any rules and
regulations established by the Committee pursuant to the
Plan.
|
The right of
the Optionee to exercise any Stock Appreciation Right shall be
cancelled if and to the extent that the Option is exercised. The
right of the Optionee to exercise the Option shall be cancelled if
and to the extent that shares covered by the Option are used to
calculate shares or cash received upon exercise of any Stock
Appreciation Right.
Fair market
value shall mean the closing price at which Stock shall have been
reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date as of which
such computation is to be made or, if no such closing price shall
have been reported on such day, on the next preceding day on which
such closing price of Stock shall have been reported on such
Exchange.
If any
fractional share of Stock would otherwise be deliverable to the
Optionee upon exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right, the
Optionee shall be paid a cash amount equal to the same fraction of
the fair market value of the Stock on the date of
exercise.
Any Stock
Appreciation Right shall become and remain exercisable by the
Optionee only to the extent that the Option becomes and remains
exercisable.
|
|
Except as
provided in the immediately following two paragraphs, if, prior to
the date one year from the date of the Agreement, the Optionee's
employment with the Company shall be terminated by the Company,
with or without cause, or by the act, death, incapacity or
retirement of the Optionee, the Optionee's right to exercise the
Option and any Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate on the date
of such termination of employment and all rights hereunder and
under the Agreement shall cease.
|
Notwithstanding
the provisions of the next preceding paragraph, if the Optionee's
employment with the Company shall be terminated by reason of
retirement, release because of disability or death, and the
Optionee had remained in the employ of the Company for at least six
months following the date of the Agreement, and subject to the
provisions of Article 4 hereof, all the Optionee's rights hereunder
and under the Agreement shall continue in effect or continue to
accrue until the date ten years after the date of the Agreement,
subject, in the event of the Optionee's death during such ten-year
period, to the provisions of the sixth paragraph of this Article
and subject to any other limitation contained herein or in the
Agreement on the exercise of the Option or any Stock Appreciation
Right in effect at the date of exercise.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein or in the Agreement, if
the Optionee's employment with the Company shall be terminated at
any time by reason of a sale or other disposition (including,
without limitation, a transfer to a Joint Venture (as hereinafter
defined)) of the division, operation or subsidiary in which the
Optionee was employed or to which the Optionee was assigned, all
the Optionee's rights under the Option and any Stock Appreciation
Right granted to him or her shall become immediately exercisable
and continue in effect until the date five years after the date of
such termination (but not later than the date ten years from the
date of grant of the Option), provided the Optionee shall satisfy
both of the following conditions: (a) the Optionee, at the date of
such termination, had remained in the employ of the Company for at
least three months following the grant of the Option and any Stock
Appreciation Right, and (b) the Optionee continues to be or becomes
employed in such division, operation or subsidiary following such
sale or other disposition and remains in such employ until the date
of exercise of the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right (unless
the Committee, or any committee appointed by it for the purpose,
shall waive this condition (b)). Upon termination of the Optionee's
employment with such (former) division, operation or subsidiary
following such sale or other disposition, any then existing right
of the Optionee to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation
Right shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) if the
Optionee's employment is terminated by reason of disability, death
or retirement with the approval of his or her employer, the
Optionee's rights shall continue as provided in the preceding
sentence with the same effect as if his or her employment had not
terminated; (ii) if the Optionee's employment is terminated by
reason of discharge or voluntary quit, the Optionee's rights shall
terminate on the date of such termination of employment and all
rights under the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right shall
cease; and (iii) if the Optionee's employment is terminated for any
reason other than a reason set forth in the preceding clauses (i)
and (ii), the Optionee shall have the right, within three months
after such termination, to exercise the Option or any Stock
Appreciation Right to the extent that it or any installment thereof
shall have accrued at the date of such termination and shall not
have been exercised, subject in the case of any such termination to
the provisions of Article 4 hereof and any other limitation on the
exercise of the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right in effect
at the date of exercise. For purposes of this paragraph, the term
Joint Venture shall mean any joint venture corporation or
partnership, or comparable entity, in which the Company has a
substantial equity interest.
If, on or after
the date one year from the date of the Agreement, the Optionee's
employment with the Company shall be terminated for any reason
except retirement, release because of disability, death, release
because of a sale or other disposition of the division, operation
or subsidiary in which the Optionee was employed or to which the
Optionee was assigned, discharge, release in the best interest of
the Company or voluntary quit, the Optionee shall have the right,
within three months after such termination, to exercise the Option
or any Stock Appreciation Right to the extent that it or any
installment thereof shall have accrued at the date of such
termination of employment and shall not have been exercised,
subject to the provisions of Article 4 hereof and any other
limitation contained herein or in the Agreement on the exercise of
the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right in effect at the date of
exercise.
If the
Optionee's employment with the Company shall be terminated at any
time by reason of discharge, release in the best interest of the
Company or voluntary quit, the Optionee's right to exercise the
Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate on the date
of such termination of employment and all rights hereunder and
under the Agreement shall cease.
If the Optionee
shall die within the applicable period specified in the second,
third, or fourth paragraph of this Article, the beneficiary
designated pursuant to Article 7 hereof or, if no such designation
is in effect, the executor or administrator of the estate of the
decedent or the person or persons to whom the Option or any Stock
Appreciation Right shall have been validly transferred by the
executor or the administrator pursuant to will or the laws of
descent and distribution shall have the right, within the same
period of time as the period during which the Optionee would have
been entitled to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation
Right if the Optionee had not died, to exercise the Option or any
Stock Appreciation Right (except that, if the fourth paragraph of
this Article shall apply to the Optionee, the Option or any Stock
Appreciation Right may be exercised only to the extent that it or
any installment thereof shall have accrued at the date of death and
shall not have been exercised, and except that the period of time
within which the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall be
exercisable following the date of the Optionee's death shall not be
less than one year (unless the Option by its terms expires
earlier)), subject to the provision that neither the Option nor any
Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercised under any circumstances
beyond ten years from the date of the Agreement and to any other
limitation on the exercise of the Option or any Stock Appreciation
Right in effect at the date of exercise.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement or in these
terms and conditions, neither the Option nor any Stock Appreciation
Right shall be exercised on or after the date ten years from the
date of the Agreement.

Anything
contained herein or in the Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the right of the Optionee to exercise the Option
or any Stock Appreciation Right following termination of the
Optionee's employment with the Company shall remain effective only
if, during the entire period from the date of the Optionee's
termination to the date of such exercise, the Optionee shall have
earned out such right by (i) making himself or herself available,
upon request, at reasonable times and upon a reasonable basis, to
consult with, supply information to and otherwise cooperate with
the Company or any subsidiary thereof with respect to any matter
that shall have been handled by him or her or under his or her
supervision while he or she was in the employ of the Company or of
any subsidiary thereof, and (ii) refraining from engaging in any
activity that is directly or indirectly in competition with any
activity of the Company or any subsidiary thereof.
