If there is no employment, consulting or other written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and an Eligible Person, or if such agreement does not define Disability, “Disability” will mean the date on which the Eligible Person becomes permanently and totally disabled within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)(3), which the Committee shall determine on the basis of such medical or other evidence as it may reasonably require or deem appropriate.”
