Fair Market Value, (d) pursuant to a same day sale program, or (e) by payment of such other consideration as the Management Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) from time to time determines.

future benefits under the Plan or any other plan or program of the Company. The award of the Option is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any: severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service, or bonus
payments; long-service awards; pension or retirement benefits; or similar payments.
