(b) If your employment terminates for reasons within your control, including, without limitation, cause and voluntary resignation, your Stock Option shall be terminated
as of the date you resign or receive notice of termination. The Committee shall have absolute discretion to determine the date when notice of such termination was given and

other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(a) As a condition to the exercise of your Stock Option you will be required to agree to notify the Corporation of any disposition of the shares acquired upon exercise
which occurs within two years of the date of exercise.
(b) Even though your Stock Option is otherwise exercisable, your right to exercise the Option will be suspended if the Committee or the Corporation determines, upon
advice of counsel, that your exercise of the Stock Option would violate applicable laws or regulations. The suspension will last until the exercise would be lawful. Any such
suspension will not extend the term of your Stock Option or the period during which it may be exercised. The Corporation has no obligation to register its Common Stock
under federal or state securities laws.
| (c) | The shares of Common Stock you will receive upon exercise of your Stock Option have not been registered under federal or state securities laws and accordingly you will be unable to sell such Common Stock unless the sale is registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption from registration is available. As a result, you will generally need to comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act when selling shares acquired upon exercise of your Stock Option. In general, Rule 144 contains holding period, manner of sale and other restrictions on sale of shares. |
