preceding the exercise date) which is not less than the option
price or part thereof.
5. Nontransferability. This option is nontransferable
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
During Participant's lifetime, this option may be exercised only
by Participant.
6. Exercise in the event of Death. In the event the
Participant dies while employed by the Corporation or an
Affiliate or within three months following his termination of
employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate, this option
shall be fully exercisable with respect to all or part of the
shares subject to this option without regard to the satisfaction
of any performance standards set forth in subparagraph 3(a). In
that event this option may be exercised by Participant's estate,
or the person or persons to whom his rights under this option
shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Participant's estate or such persons may exercise this option
within one year of the Participant's death or during the
remainder of the period preceding the Expiration Date, whichever
is shorter. In the event Participant dies more than three months
after he ceases to be employed by the Corporation and its
Affiliates on account of permanent and total disability or
Retirement, but prior to the termination of his rights under
paragraph 7 or 8, Participant's estate or the person or persons
to whom his rights under this option shall pass by will or the
laws of descent and distribution may exercise this option during
the remainder of the period prescribed by paragraphs 7 and 8.
7. Exercise in the Event of Permanent and Total
Disability. If Participant becomes permanently and totally
disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code)
while employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate and prior to
the Expiration Date, this option shall be fully exercisable with
respect to all or part of the shares remaining subject to this
option without regard to the satisfaction of any performance
standards set forth in subparagraph 3(a). In that event,
Participant may exercise this option during the remainder of the
period preceding the Expiration Date or within one year of the
date he ceases to be employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate,
whichever is shorter.
8. Exercise in the Event of Retirement. If Participant
retires from the employ of the Company and its Affiliates prior
to the Expiration Date, this option shall be fully exercisable
with respect to all or part of the shares subject to this option
without regard to the satisfaction of any performance standards
set forth in subparagraph 3(a). In that event, Participant may
exercise this option during the remainder of the period preceding
the Expiration Date or within one year of the date of retirement,
whichever is shorter; provided, however that if Participant
exercises this option more than three months after the date of
Retirement (other than under circumstances described in
paragraphs 6 and 7) this option's intended status as an
"incentive stock option" within the meaning of Code section 422
may be lost. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms "Retire"
and "Retirement" mean separation from service after Participant
has satisfied the requirements for an early, normal or delayed
retirement allowance under the First Colony Life Insurance
Company Pension Plan or any successor Plan of the Corporation or
an Affiliate in which Participant is eligible to participate;
provided, however, that such terms shall not include a separation
from service following the date the Participant is advised that
his employment is being, or will be terminated for cause, on
account of performance or under circumstances that prevent him
from being in good standing (in each case as determined by the
Committee in its discretion).
9. Exercise After Termination of Employment. Except as
provided in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8, in the event Participant
ceases to be employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate prior to
the Expiration Date, Participant may exercise this option with
respect to all or part of the number of shares he was entitled to
purchase pursuant to paragraph 3 above on the date his employment
terminated and that remain subject to this option. In that
event, Participant may exercise that option at any time within
three months next following such termination of employment (but
in any event prior to the Expiration Date). For purposes of
determining the number of shares for which this option is
exercisable on the basis of "Earnings" under paragraph 3 and this
paragraph 9, "Earnings" shall mean Earnings for any years as
publicly announced by the Corporation on or before the last date
of Participant's employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate.
10. Fractional Shares. Fractional shares shall not be
issuable hereunder, and when any provision hereof may entitle
Participant to a fractional share such fraction shall be
disregarded.
11. No Right to Continued Employment. This option does not
confer upon Participant any right with respect to continuance of
employment by the Corporation or an Affiliate, nor shall it
interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or an
Affiliate to terminate his employment at any time.
12. Change in Capital Structure. The terms of this option
shall be adjusted as the Committee determines is equitably
required in the event the Corporation effects one or more stock
dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of
shares or other similar changes in capitalization.
13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
14. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of the Plan as in effect on the date hereof and the
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall
govern. All references herein to the Plan shall mean the Plan as
in effect on the date hereof.
15. Participant Bound by Plan. Participant hereby
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound
by all the terms and provisions thereof.
16. Binding Effect. Subject to the limitations stated
above and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the legatees, distributees, and personal
representatives of Participant and the successors of the
Corporation.
17. Taxes. Participant shall make arrangements acceptable
to the Corporation for the satisfaction of income and employment
tax withholding requirements attributable to the exercise of this
option.
