(b) | Holder is 65 years of age or older; |
(c) | Holder has completed five or more years of service with the Company or its Affiliates; |
(d) | The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has approved the Retirement in writing (which approval the CEO may grant, withhold or condition in his discretion); and |
