(iii)                               Each New A&B Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms, vesting conditions, exercise procedures, expiration dates and termination provisions and other terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Distribution Date for the corresponding Holdings Option.  With respect to each New A&B Option, New A&B shall give each New A&B Participant full vesting service credit for such New A&B Participant’s service with Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Distribution Date to the same extent such service was recognized with respect to the corresponding Holdings Option immediately prior to the Distribution Date.
