and binding and conclusive, for all purposes, upon the Company, the Grantee or the Successor of the Grantee. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable to any person for any action, failure to act, omission or determination taken or
made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(f) | Any notice given by the Company to the Grantee shall be effective to bind any person who shall acquire rights hereunder. The Company shall be under no obligation
whatsoever to advise the Grantee of the existence, maturity or termination of any of the Grantees rights hereunder and the Grantee shall be deemed to have familiarized himself/herself with all matters contained herein and in the Plan which may
affect any of the Grantees rights and privileges hereunder.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
