Indemnification and Hold Harmless Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.10 
 INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT 
 THIS INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”) is made as of January 20, 2006, by and between W&T Offshore, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and S. James Nelson, Jr. (“Indemnitee”). 
 WHEREAS, in order to incentivize Indemnitee to serve, or to continue to serve, as a director of the Company (in any such case, the
“Service”), the Company has agreed to indemnify Indemnitee as set forth below; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Indemnification. Effective as of the original date of Indemnitee’s beginning Service, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee and hold
Indemnitee harmless if the Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, and in any appeal in such
action, suit or proceeding, and in any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding, against any and all liabilities, obligations (whether known or unknown, or due or to become due or otherwise), judgments, fines,
fees, penalties, interest obligations, deficiencies, other actual losses (for example, verifiable lost income related to time spent defending such claim or action) and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation amounts paid in settlement,
interest, court costs, costs of investigators, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors and other experts) incurred or suffered by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding arising out of or
pertaining to any actual or alleged action or omission which arises out of or relates to the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving as a director or officer of the Company or at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee, employee,
or agent of or in any other capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted by then applicable law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended
(but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide the same or broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto) (each such liability, obligation, judgment, fine, fee, penalty,
interest obligation, deficiency, other actual losses, and reasonable expenses being referred to herein as a “Loss,” and collectively, as “Losses”). 
 2. Payment. Any Loss incurred by Indemnitee shall be paid in full by the Company on a regular, monthly basis. This indemnity applies even if the Indemnitee caused the Loss through his or her negligence, strict
liability or other fault; however, if any Losses for which Indemnitee received payment from the Company under this Agreement are determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal, to have been caused by Indemnitee
under circumstances with respect to which indemnification is not permitted by applicable law or this Agreement (any such Loss, a “Non-Indemnification Loss”), Indemnitee shall repay to the Company such Losses paid on behalf of Indemnitee
hereunder.

 3. Term. The indemnification rights provided hereby to Indemnitee shall continue even though he or
she may have ceased to be a director, officer, trustee, employee, or agent of or in any other capacity for the applicable entity. 
 4.
Notice and Coverage Prior to Notice. Indemnitee shall give notice (the “Notice”) to the Company within five days after actual receipt of service or summons related to any action begun in respect of which indemnity may be
sought hereunder or actual notice of assertion of a claim with respect to which he seeks indemnification; provided, however, that the Indemnitee’s failure to give such notice to the Company within such time shall not relieve the Company from
any of its obligations under Section 1 of this Agreement except to the extent the Company has been materially prejudiced by Indemnitee’s failure to give such notice within such time period. Upon receipt of the Notice, the Company shall
assume the defense of such action, whereupon the Indemnitee shall not be liable for any reasonable fees or expenses of counsel for Indemnitee or any other Losses incurred thereafter with respect to the matters set forth in the Notice and the Company
shall reimburse the Indemnitee for all reasonable expenses related to the action or claim incurred by the Indemnitee prior to the Indemnitee’s giving of the Notice. 
 5. Non-Exclusivity. The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that Indemnitee may have under the Company’s governance documents (e.g. Articles of Incorporation, By-laws,
Articles of Organization, Regulations, etc.) (the “Governance Documents”), applicable law or otherwise and shall survive any termination, resignation, death or other dismissal of Indemnitee. No amendment or alteration of the Company’s
Governance Documents shall adversely affect Indemnitee’s rights under the Governance Documents or this Agreement. 
 6.
Insurance. To the extent the Company maintains, at its expense, an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance with respect to the acts or omissions covered by this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or
policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available there under. 
 7. Payment. The
Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any claim against Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received, and is entitled to retain, payment (under any insurance
policy or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. 
 8. Enforceability. The indemnification contained in this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company), spouses, heirs and personal and legal representatives. 
 9.
Binding Obligation. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be found to be invalid on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee, as to costs, charges
and expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, and in
any appeal in such action, suit or proceeding, and in any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated
and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 10. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws. The parties agree that any litigation directly or indirectly relating to this Agreement must be brought before and determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
within Harris County, Texas, and the parties hereby agree to waive any rights to object to, and hereby agree to submit to, the jurisdiction of such courts. 
 11. Right to Sue; Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. If a claim by Indemnitee for payment of Losses hereunder is not paid in full by the Company within forty-five (45) days after a written claim has been
delivered to the Company, Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the reasonable
costs and expenses of prosecuting such suit. In any suit brought by Indemnitee to enforce any right hereunder (including, without limitation, the right to indemnification), the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to such right shall be
borne by the Company. If a claim by the Company for repayment of any Non-Indemnification Losses previously paid on behalf of Indemnitee hereunder is not repaid in full to the Company within forty-five (45) days after such ruling has been
delivered to Indemnitee, the Company may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Indemnitee to recover the unpaid amount. 
 12.
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of each party to this Agreement. 
 13. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument executed by each of the parties hereto. 
 14. Facsimile and Counterpart Signature. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature and in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall for all purposes be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.

 (As Amended
Through December 28, 2005) 
 1. Purpose of the Plan. This Plan shall be known as the Aegis Communications Group, Inc.

a high degree of training, experience and ability and (iii) to provide incentives to such personnel, directors and advisory directors to promote the success of the business of Aegis Communications Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. 

Certain options granted under this Plan are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, while certain other options granted under the Plan will constitute nonqualified options.

prior to the date specified as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market or by the principal national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed. If there is no reported price information for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value will be

 3. Term of Plan. The Plan was initially
adopted by the Board effective as of April 7, 1998. To permit the granting of Qualified Options under the Code, and to qualify awards of Options hereunder as “performance based” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan was
approved by the shareholders of the Corporation on July 9, 1998. On March 29, 2000, the Board approved the following amendments to the Plan: 
 (a) increase in the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of Options pursuant to this Plan from 7,500,000 to 9,000,000; and 
  

 2 

 (b) increase in the annual limit on the number of option shares issuable to an individual
executive officer from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000. 
 On May 4, 2000, these amendments to the Plan were approved by the shareholders of the Corporation.

 On July 27, 2001, the Board approved an increase in the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of Options pursuant to this Plan from 9,000,000
to 12,000,000. On August 8, 2001, this amendment to the Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Corporation. 
 On June 29, 2005, the Board
approved an increase in the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of Options pursuant to this Plan from 12,000,000 to 35,000,000. On December 28, 2005, this amendment to the Plan was approved by the stockholders of the Corporation.

 The Plan, as amended, shall continue in effect until terminated pursuant to Section 18(a). 
 4. Shares Subject to the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in Section 17 hereof, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of Options pursuant to this Plan shall be 35,000,000 shares. Shares issuable upon the exercise of Options may either be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The Corporation shall, during the term of this Plan, reserve
and keep available a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. If an Option should expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, then the shares that were subject
thereto shall, unless the Plan shall have terminated, become immediately available for the grant of additional Options under this Plan, subject to the limitations and adjustments set forth above. In addition, for purposes of calculating the
aggregate number of shares that may be issued under this Plan, only the net shares issued (including the shares, if any, withheld for tax withholding requirements) shall be counted when shares of Common Stock are used as full or partial payment for
shares issued upon exercise of a Qualified Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. Shares tendered by a Participant as payment for shares issued upon such exercise shall be available for reissuance under the Plan. 
 5. Eligibility. Qualified Options may be granted under Section 6 of the Plan to such Employees of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries as may
be determined by the Committee. Nonqualified Options may be granted under Section 6 of the Plan to such Employees or Directors of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries as may be determined by the Committee. Subject to the limitations and
qualifications set forth in this Plan, the Committee shall also determine the number of Options to be granted, the number of shares subject to each Option grant, the exercise price or prices of each Option, the vesting and exercise period of each
Option, whether an Option may be exercised as to less than all of the Common Stock subject thereto, and such other terms and conditions of each Option as are consistent with the provisions of this Plan. In connection with the granting of Qualified
Options, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Date of Grant of a Qualified Option) of the shares with respect to which Qualified Options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under all such plans
of the 

  

 3 

 
Optionee’s employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporations as defined in Section 424(e) and (f) of the Code, or a corporation
or a parent or subsidiary corporation of such corporation issuing or assuming an Option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies (collectively, such corporations described in this sentence are hereinafter referred to as
“Related Corporations”)) shall not exceed $100,000 or such other amount as from time to time provided in Section 422(d) of the Code or any successor provision. In the event that the Participant’s total Qualified Options exceed
the $100,000 limit in any calendar year (whether due to acceleration of exercisability, miscalculation, error or otherwise) the amount of Qualified Options that exceed such limit shall be treated as Nonqualified Options. The Qualified Options
granted earliest (whether under this Plan or any other agreement or plan) shall be applied first to the $100,000 limit. In the event that only a portion of the Qualified Options granted at the same time can be applied to the $100,000 limit, the
Corporation shall issue separate share certificates for such number of shares as does not exceed the $100,000 limit, and shall designate such shares as Qualified Option stock in its share transfer records. 
 6. Grant of Options. Except as provided in Section 18(c), the Committee shall determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be offered
from time to time pursuant to Options granted hereunder and shall grant Options under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each member of the Committee shall be eligible to receive Options only if the Board unanimously (except for such Committee
member) grants such Option to such member. The grant of Options shall be evidenced by Option agreements containing such terms and provisions as are approved by the Committee and executed on behalf of the Corporation by an appropriate officer. In
connection with the granting of any Options under the Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options may be granted to any single Executive in any one calendar year shall not exceed 3,000,000. Solely for this
purpose, Options that lapse or are canceled continue to count against such limit. 
 7. Time of Grant of Options. The date of grant of
an Option under the Plan shall be the date on which the Committee awards the Option or, if the Committee so determines, the date specified by the Committee as the date the award is to be effective. Notice of the grant shall be given to each
Participant to whom an Option is granted promptly after the date of such grant. 
 8. Price. The exercise price for each share of
Common Stock subject to an Option (the “Exercise Price”) granted pursuant to Section 6 of the Plan shall be determined by the Committee at the Date of Grant; provided, however, that (a) the Exercise Price for any Option shall not
be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the Date of Grant, and (b) if the Optionee owns on the Date of Grant more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation or its
parent or any of its subsidiaries, as more fully described in Section 422(b)(6) of the Code or any successor provision (such shareholder is referred to herein as a “10-Percent Shareholder”), the Exercise Price for any Qualified Option
granted to such Optionee shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the Date of Grant. 
 9. Vesting.
Subject to Section 11 of this Plan, each Option award under the Plan shall vest or be subject to forfeiture in accordance with the provisions set forth in the applicable Option agreement. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, permit
acceleration of vesting or termination of forfeiture provisions upon any sale of the Corporation or similar 

  

 4 

 
transaction. In the event that the acceleration of any Option hereunder upon a change of control of the Corporation or similar transaction would result in an
“excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code), the Participant’s Option agreement shall specify whether the exercisability of the full number of shares shall be accelerated. In the event that the Option
agreement does not specify whether the exercisability of the full number of shares shall be accelerated and the Committee determines that an excess parachute payment would result if acceleration occurred (when added to any other payments or benefits
contingent on a change of control under any other agreements, arrangements or plans), then the number of shares as to which excercisability is accelerated shall be reduced so that total parachute payments do not exceed 299% of the Optionee’s
“base amount,” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code. A Participant’s Option agreement may contain such additional provisions with respect to vesting as the Committee may specify. 
 10. Exercise. A Participant may pay the Exercise Price of the shares of Common Stock as to which an Option is being exercised by the delivery of
(a) cash, (b) check, (c) at the Corporation’s option, by the delivery of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date immediately preceding the exercise date equal to the Exercise Price and have been held by the
Optionee at least six (6) months prior to the date of exercise, or (d) at the Corporation’s option, any other consideration that the Corporation determines is consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law. If the shares
to be purchased are covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any Option granted under the Plan may be exercised by a broker-dealer acting on behalf of an Optionee if (i) the broker-dealer has
received from the Optionee or the Corporation a fully- and duly-endorsed agreement evidencing such Option, together with instructions signed by the Optionee requesting the Corporation to deliver the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option to
the broker-dealer on behalf of the Optionee and specifying the account into which such shares should be deposited, (ii) adequate provision has been made with respect to the payment of any withholding taxes due upon such exercise, and
(iii) the broker-dealer and the Optionee have otherwise complied with Section 220.3(e)(4) of Regulation T, 12 CFR Part 220, or any successor provision. 
 11. When Qualified Options May be Exercised. No Qualified Option shall be exercisable at any time after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Date of Grant; provided, however, that if the Optionee with
respect to a Qualified Option is a 10-Percent Shareholder on the Date of Grant of such Qualified Option, then such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from its Date of Grant. In addition, if an Optionee of a
Qualified Option ceases to be an employee of the Corporation or any Related Corporation for any reason, such Optionee’s vested Qualified Options shall not be exercisable after (a) three (3) months following the date such Optionee
ceases to be an employee of the Corporation or any Related Corporation, if such cessation of service is not due to the death or permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the Optionee, or
(b) twelve (12) months following the date such Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation or any Related Corporation, if such cessation of service is due to the death or permanent and total disability (as defined above) of the
Optionee. Upon the death of an Optionee, any vested Qualified Option exercisable on the date of death may be exercised by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise such Qualified Option by bequest or inheritance or
by reason of the death of the Optionee, provided that such exercise occurs within both the remaining option term of the Qualified Option and twelve (12) months after the date of the Optionee’s death. This 

  

 5 

 
Section 11 only provides the outer limits of allowable exercise dates with respect to Qualified Options; the Committee may determine that the exercise
period for a Qualified Option shall have a shorter duration than as specified above. 
 12. Option Financing. Upon the exercise of any
Option granted under the Plan, the Corporation may, but shall not be required to, make financing available to the Participant for the purchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Option on such terms as the Board or the Committee may specify.

 13. Withholding of Taxes. The Committee shall make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for
the withholding of any taxes that the Corporation is required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority to withhold in connection with any Option including, but not limited to, (a) withholding the issuance of all or any portion of
the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option until the Participant reimburses the Corporation for the amount it is required to withhold with respect to such taxes, (b) withholding any portion of such issuance in an amount sufficient to
reimburse the Corporation for the amount of taxes it is required to withhold, (c) allowing the Participant to deliver Common Stock as payment for the amount the Corporation is required to withhold for taxes or (d) taking any other action
reasonably required to satisfy the Corporation’s withholding obligation. 
 14. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 

(a) The Corporation shall not be obligated to sell or issue any shares upon the exercise of any Option granted under the Plan unless
the issuance and delivery of shares comply with all provisions of applicable federal and state securities laws and the requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market or any stock exchange upon which shares of the Common Stock may then be listed.

 (b) As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Corporation may require the person exercising the Option to make such
representations and warranties as may be necessary to assure the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws. 
 (c) The Corporation shall not be liable for refusing to sell or issue any shares covered by any Option if the Corporation cannot obtain
authority from the appropriate regulatory bodies deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to sell or issue such shares in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and the requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market or any stock
exchange upon which shares of the Common Stock may then be listed. In addition, the Corporation shall have no obligation to any Participant, express or implied, to list, register or otherwise qualify the shares of Common Stock covered by any Option.

 (d) No Participant will be, or will be deemed to be, a holder of any Common Stock subject to an Option unless and until
such Participant has exercised his or her Option and paid the purchase price for the subject shares of Common Stock. 
  

 6 

 15. Restrictions on Transfer. 
 (a) Options issued pursuant to the Plan shall be nontransferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may only be
exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant. 
 (b) Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to
the Plan may be subject to restrictions on transfer under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Committee may impose such additional restrictions on the ownership and transfer of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan as it
deems desirable; any such restrictions shall be set forth in any Option agreement entered into hereunder. 
 16. Modification of Plan and
Options. 
 (a) The Committee may from time to time and at any time alter, amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate this
Plan; provided, however, that no such action of the Committee may, without the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, alter the provisions of the Plan so as to (i) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
subject to Qualified Options under this Plan (except as provided in Section 17 of this Plan), (ii) change the class of employees eligible to receive Qualified Options pursuant to this Plan, or (iii) change the annual limit on the
number of Options granted to an Executive in Section 6 above. 
 (b) At any time and from time to time, the Committee may
execute an instrument providing for modification, extension or renewal of any outstanding Option, provided that no such modification, extension or renewal shall impair the Option without the consent of the holder of the Option. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) in the event of such a modification, substitution, extension or renewal of a Qualified Option, the Committee may increase the exercise price of such Option if necessary to retain the qualified status of such Option, and
(ii) the Committee may, in its discretion and without the holder’s consent, convert, any Qualified Option into a Nonqualified Option. 
 17. Effect of Change in Stock Subject to the Plan. In the event that each of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than shares held by dissenting shareholders) shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind
of shares of stock of the Corporation or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, combination of shares or otherwise), or in the event a stock split or stock dividend occurs,
then the Corporation may either (a) substitute for each share of Common Stock then subject to Options or available for Options the number and kind of shares of stock into which each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than shares held by
dissenting shareholders) shall be so changed or exchanged, or the number of shares of Common Stock as is equitably required in the event of a stock split or stock dividend, together with an appropriate adjustment of the Exercise Price, or
(b) cancel all such Options as of the effective date of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up or combination of shares by giving written notice to each holder thereof or his personal representatives of its
intention to do so and by permitting the exercise of all such Options, without regard to determinations of periods or installments of exercisability during the thirty (30) day period immediately preceding such effective date. The Committee may,
but shall not be required to, provide additional anti-dilution protection to a Participant under the terms of the Participant’s Option agreement. 
  

 7 

 18. Administration. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3, the Plan shall
be administered by the Board, if each member is a Non-Employee Director, or by a committee comprised solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors appointed by the Board (the group responsible for administering the Plan is referred to as the
“Committee”). Options may be granted under Section 6 only by majority agreement of the members of the Committee. Option agreements, in the form as approved by the Committee, and containing such terms and conditions consistent with the
provisions of this Plan as are determined by the Committee, may be executed on behalf of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board, the President or any Vice President of the Corporation. The Committee shall have complete authority to construe,
interpret and administer the provisions of this Plan and the provisions of the Option agreements granted hereunder; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations pertaining to this Plan; to suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan; and to
make all other determinations necessary or deemed advisable in the administration of the Plan. The determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. No member of the Committee shall be liable for
any action taken, or failed to be taken, made in good faith relating to the Plan or any award thereunder, and the members of the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Corporation in respect of any claim, loss,
damage or expense (including attorneys’ fees) arising therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 (b) Members of
the Committee shall be specified by the Board, and shall consist solely of Non-Employee Directors. Non-Employee Directors may not possess an interest in any transaction for which disclosure is required under Section 404(a) of Regulation S-K
under the Exchange Act or be engaged in a business relationship that must be disclosed under Section 404(a) and must qualify as ‘outside directors’ as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder. 

(c) Although the Committee may suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time, all Qualified Options must be granted within ten
(10) years from the effective date of the Plan or the date the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Corporation, whichever is earlier. 
 19. Continued Employment Not Presumed. Nothing in this Plan or any document describing it nor the grant of any Option shall give any Participant the right to continue in the employment of the Corporation or affect the right of the
