SERVICE FOR PREDECESSOR EMPLOYER If the Employer maintains the plan of a predecessor employer, the Plan treats service of the Employee with the predecessor employer as service with the Employer.

The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a material and adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company. The Company has registered its Common Stock pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Cessation of Service The Option shall terminate (and cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable: (a) Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than death, Disability or Misconduct) while this Option is outstanding, then Optionee (or any person or persons to whom this Option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer under Section II(3)) shall have a period of three (3) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this Option, but in no event shall this Option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

Any such right to exercise this Option shall lapse, and this Option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death or (ii) the Expiration Date. (c) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Disability while this Option is outstanding, then Optionee (or any person or persons to whom this Option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer under Section II(3)) shall have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this Option.
