It's not an option contract for either WCW or Hogan. Looks like Hogan wrestling in the 4th year was the only contractual issue to be determined later.
Under section 11D, he still would have been under contract in year 4 as a wrestling consultant and could not be employed or perform for another wrestling promotion during year 4 (the term as defined in paragraph 1). In consideration, which is necessary to have a binding contract, for Hogan's 4th year services he would be paid $100,000 as a consultant to WCW if he didn't wrestle for them that year.
It's likely in 1998, Hogan was anticipating taking time off in year 4 to take a break and start talking about a new deal with WCW had they still been around obviously.
