Method of Exercising Options. The Options may be exercised from time to time by written or electronic notice (in the form prescribed by the Company) delivered to and received by the Company (unless the Option Holder elects to make a “cashless exercise”), which notice shall be signed by the Option Holder and shall state the election to exercise the Options and the number of whole shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Options are being exercised. Such notice must be accompanied by a check payable to the Company, or such other consideration allowed pursuant to the Plan, in payment of the full Option price for the number of shares purchased. As soon as practicable after it receives such notice and payment, as applicable, and following receipt from the Option Holder of payment for any taxes which the Company is required by law to withhold by reason of such exercise, the Company will deliver to the Option Holder a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased. Options may also be exercised by the delivery of shares in payment of the exercise price or pursuant to a “cashless exercise” procedure, subject to securities law restrictions, or by any other means the Executive Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”), in its sole discretion, determines is consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law. The delivery of previously acquired shares may be made by attestation. Payment of any withholding taxes due upon exercise of Options may be made by withholding shares or by attestation.
