(2) The award may expire earlier as follows: (i) the award will expire on July 8, 2011 if the optionee ceases to serve as a director on or before July 8, 2011 for any reason other than the optionee's death or disability or the failure of Bally to nominate the optionee for re-election as a director, or (ii) the award will expire 60 days after the date the optionee ceases to serve as a director if the optionee ceases to serve as a director after July 8, 2011 but on or before July 8, 2013 for any reason other than the optionee's death or disability or the failure of Bally to nominate the optionee for re-election as a director. If the optionee ceases to serve as a director because of the optionee's death or disability, any unexercised portion of the award shall expire in accordance with the provisions of Bally's Amended and Restated 2001 Long Term Incentive Plan.
