The right of exercise provided herein shall be cumulative so that if this option is not exercised to the maximum extent permissible during any such period it shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all shares not so purchased at any time during any subsequent period prior to the expiration or termination of this option. This option may not be exercised at any time after the tenth anniversary date.
(b) Subject to the conditions hereof, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased and the purchase price to be paid therefor and accompanied by payment in accordance with Section 4 hereof. Such exercise shall be effective upon receipt by the Treasurer of the Company of the written notice together with the required payment. The Participant shall be entitled to purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option shall be for less than 10 whole shares.
(c) Except as provided in Section 3(f) below, if the Participant’s [director of] [employment with] with the Company [or one of its subsidiaries] terminates for any reason, other than retirement, change of control, total disability or death, this option shall immediately terminate; provided, however, that any portion of this option which was otherwise exercisable on the date of such termination of [directorship] [employment] may be exercised within the three-month period following the date of termination, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such three-month period, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees for the remainder of such three-month period.
(d) If the Participant dies while [a director] [an employee or otherwise in the service of the Company or any subsidiary] of the Company, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of death shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees until the tenth anniversary date.
(e) In the event the Participant’s [services as a director of] [employment with] the Company [or one of its subsidiaries] terminates by reason of the Participant’s (i) retirement or (ii) total disability, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of such termination shall be exercisable by the Participant at any time prior to the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies before the tenth anniversary date, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees until the tenth anniversary date, to the same extent that the Participant could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. For purposes of this Section 3(e), “retirement” shall mean the Participant’s voluntary termination of [membership on the Board of Directors either (i)] [employment with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company] at age 62 or above and after a minimum of five years of service as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries [or (ii) after a minimum of nine years of service as a director of the Company], and “total disability” shall mean a disability which, in the reasonable opinion of the Board of Directors, renders the Participant unable or incompetent to carry out the Participant’s duties, responsibilities and assignments for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days.
(f) In the event of the Participant’s voluntary termination of [membership on the Board of Directors] [employment with the Company or any subsidiary] of the Company, other than as a result of retirement or total disability, the Board of Directors may, by giving written notice to the Participant, provide that any portion of this option that was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination of the Participant’s [directorship] [employment] may be exercised within a one year period following the date on which the Participant ceased to be [a director] [so employed] as set forth in written notice to the Participant, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such period, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees, to the same extent that the Participant could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. This option or any unexercised portion hereof shall terminate unless so exercised prior to the expiration of ten years from the date of its grant. [Employees only — In the event that a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or a Company subsidiary, incurring a termination of employment, and immediately is engaged by the Company or a Company subsidiary as a consultant, any portion of this option that was not exercisable by the Participant on the date of such termination shall immediately terminate on the date of the termination of employment and any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of such termination shall remain exercisable until the date determined under Section 3(c), (d), (e) or (g) hereof, as if the Participant did not incur a termination of employment until the Participant ceases to be a consultant.]
(g) [Employee only — In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries terminates by reason of a change of control, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of such change of control shall be exercisable by the Participant at any time until the date one year after such change of control, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such one-year period, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees for the remainder of the one-year period, to the same extent that the Participant could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. The Participant’s employment will have terminated by reason of the change of control if (i) the Participant continues to be engaged as an employee or consultant with a Company subsidiary after the Company ceases to have effective voting control of such subsidiary, or (ii) the Participant ceases to be employed or engaged as a consultant by the Company or a Company subsidiary in connection with the sale or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of a component of the Company or a Company subsidiary, whether such component is a subsidiary, unit, work location, line of business or otherwise. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a Participant’s termination of employment is by reason of a change of control.] [Director only — In the event of a change in control of the Company, and the Participant is removed as a director of the Company in connection with the change in control, any portion of this option that was otherwise exercisable on the date of the Participant’s removal shall be exercisable by the Participant at any time until the first anniversary of such change in control, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such one-year period, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees for the remainder of the one-year period or the tenth anniversary date, if earlier. For purposes of this Section 3(g), a “change in control” of the Company shall be deemed to have taken place if: (i) a third person, including a “person” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of the directors of the Company; or (ii) as the result of, or in connection with, any tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of assets or one or more contested elections, or any combination of the foregoing transactions (a “Transaction”) the persons who were directors of the Company immediately prior to the Transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or of any successor to the Company.]
(h) For purposes of this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed to have a terminated employment or incurred a termination of employment upon (i) the date the Participant ceases to be employed by, or to provide consulting services for, the Company, any Company subsidiary, or any corporation (or any of its subsidiaries) which assumes the Participant’s award in a transaction to which section 424(a) of the Code applies; or (ii) the date the Participant ceases to be a Board member, provided, however, that if the Participant (x), at the time of reference, is both an employee or consultant and a Board member, or (y) ceases to be engaged as an employee, consultant or Board member and immediately is engaged in another of such relationships with the Company or any Company subsidiary (other than an employee who becomes a consultant), the Participant shall not be deemed to have a “termination of employment” until the last of the dates determined pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above. The Committee, in its discretion, may determine whether any leave of absence constitutes a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement and the impact, if any, of any such leave of absence on this option.

Successor Person Substituted for Company Upon any consolidation or amalgamation by the Company with or merger of the Company into any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety to any Person in accordance with Section 8.1, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or amalgamation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein; and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture, the Securities and the Coupons.
Limitation of Liability of Sub-Adviser The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust or the Fund or the Adviser in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the Sub-Adviser's part in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. Any person, even though also employed by the Sub-Adviser, who may be or become an employee of and paid by the Trust or the Fund shall be deemed, when acting within the scope of his employment by the Trust or the Fund, to be acting in such employment solely for the Trust or the Fund and not as the Sub-Adviser's employee or agent.

(b) For the purpose of allocating Profits and Losses and distributing cash received by the Partnership, a Substitute Limited Partner shall be treated as having become, and appearing in the records of the Partnership as, a Partner upon the filing of the Certificate described in Section 9.3(a)(ii) hereof or, if no such filing is required, the later of the date specified in the transfer documents or the date on which the General Partner has received all necessary instruments of transfer and substitution.
(c) The General Partner shall cooperate with the Person seeking to become a Substitute Limited Partner by preparing the documentation required by this Section and making all official filings and publications.
