Rights that are not yet exercisable at the Employee’s Termination of Employment shall not become exercisable thereafter. No portion of the Rights which are unexercisable upon a Demotion shall thereafter become exercisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Demotion to a position that is eligible for a stock rights grant at a lower level than the level for which the Employee was eligible on the Date of Grant, the immediately preceding sentence shall apply only to that part (if any) of the unexercisable portion of the Rights which exceeds the minimum number of stock rights to which such position is eligible.

The Rights may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

(a) The expiration of ten years and one day from the Date of Grant; or

(b) The expiration of three months from the time of the Employee’s Termination of Employment unless such Termination of Employment results from his death, his retirement in accordance with the Company’s retirement policies as then in effect, or his Disability; or

At least ten days prior to the effective date of such merger, consolidation, acquisition, liquidation or dissolution the Committee shall give the Employee notice of such event if the Option has then neither been fully exercised nor become unexercisable under this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4 - Acceleration of Exercisability

Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, these Rights shall be exercisable as to all shares covered hereby, notwithstanding that these Rights may not yet have become fully exercisable under Section 3.1.

After the death of the Employee, any exercisable Rights may, prior to the time when the Rights become unexercisable under Section 3.3, be exercised by his or her personal representative, by any person entitled to do so under the Employee’s will, or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution as the case may be.

Section 4.2 - Partial Exercise

Any exercisable Rights may be exercised at any time prior to the time when the Rights become unexercisable under Section 3.3; provided, however, that each exercise shall be for not less than 100 shares (or the minimum installment set forth in Section 3.1, if a smaller number of shares) and shall be for whole shares only.

Section 4.3 - Manner of Exercise

(a) Rights may be exercised solely by delivery to the Secretary or his or her office of all of the following prior to the time when the Rights become unexercisable under Section 3.3:

For purposes of this Section 4.4, the date of exercise of a Stock Right shall be the date that CSL receives notice of such exercise. The SARs cannot be exercised independently of the Option granted hereunder and the proceeds from such SARs may only be applied to the purchase price of the Common Stock purchased pursuant to this Rights Agreement.

Section 4.5 - Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates

The shares of stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have then been reacquired by the Company.

The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of stock purchased upon the exercise of the Rights prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; and

(b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state, federal or provincial law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; and

(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state, federal or provincial governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and

Section 4.7 - Canadian Securities Law Requirements

The Employee hereby acknowledges to and agrees with the Company and CSL as follows:

(a) That the granting of Rights and transfers thereof as permitted herein, the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of exercisable Rights, and trades of such Common Stock are regulated by the Canadian Securities Laws;

(b) That the Company and CSL have relied on certain securities laws exemptions in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario (the “Relevant Provinces”) in respect of, among other things, the granting of Rights, and issuance of Common Stock upon exercise thereof;

6

(c) That where necessary or advisable, the Company and CSL will attempt to obtain certain exemptions (the “Exemption Orders”) from the requirements of certain Canadian Securities Laws which, subject to sections 4.7(e), (f), (g) and (h) below:

(i) Will, among other things, permit Rights to be transferred to the estate of the Employee, his beneficiaries and to certain other persons; and

(ii) Subject to certain qualifications, will permit Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of exercisable Rights to be traded by the Employee, his estate or beneficiaries and certain other persons, as the case may be, through the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) utilizing the services of a registered securities dealer, provided such trades are conducted in accordance with the rules of the NYSE and in accordance with all securities laws applicable thereto;

provided that unless and until such Exemption Orders have been obtained, the right of the Employee, his estate or beneficiaries and certain other persons, as the case may be, to transfer any Rights as permitted herein, or trade Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of exercisable Rights, as the case may be, may be restricted;

(d) That while trades in Common Stock not outlined in section 4.7(c) above may be permitted in the Relevant Provinces, neither the Company nor CSL makes any representation in respect of the same;

(e) That if the Employee, his estate and beneficiaries and certain other persons, as the case may be, do not reside in any of the Relevant Provinces at the time of exercise of exercisable Rights, the Company may not be entitled to rely upon the provisions of section 4.7(b) above in respect of the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of exercisable Rights;

(f) That if the Employee, his estate and beneficiaries and certain other persons, as the case may be, do not reside in any of the Relevant Provinces at the time of any transfer of Options or SARs as permitted herein or trade of Common Stock, they may not be entitled to rely upon the provisions of Section 4.7(c) above, and their right to transfer any Options or SARs, or trade in Common Stock may be restricted;

(g) That the basis and circumstances upon which the Exemption Orders may be granted, and Canadian Securities Laws in general, may change from time to time and although the Company and CSL will attempt to inform the Employee of any such changes made known to them which may affect any of the matters in this section 4.7, it is the sole responsibility of the Employee, his estate or beneficiaries and any other interested person, as the case may be, to comply with all applicable securities laws at the time of any transfer of Rights as permitted herein, or any trade of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of exercisable Rights; and

(h) In advance of any such transfer or trade the Employee, his estate and beneficiaries or any other interested person, as the case may be, will confirm with the Human Resources Department of CSL that such transfer or trade continues to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. For greater certainty, the Company and CSL are under no obligation, other than as set forth in Section 4.7(c) above, to make any applications to, or seek relief from, any Canadian Securities Laws which may otherwise prevent or restrict any exercise or transfer of Rights or Common Stock as permitted herein. THE EMPLOYEE IS URGED TO CONFER WITH HIS OR HER INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND OBTAIN CONFIRMATION THAT SUCH TRADES OR TRANSFERS COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
