(1) In the event the Optionholder’s service as an executive officer of the Corporation terminates because of reason of death or being disabled (as defined in the Plan), this Option may be exercised, to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to do so at the date of such termination due to such cause, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part, within one year after the Optionholder’s death or disability, but in no event later than the expiration date specified in Paragraph 2(a).
