The exercise price for each share of stock subject to the Sign-On Options shall be the Company’s closing stock price for a share of its common stock on the grant date. All vesting of the Sign-On Awards shall be subject to Executive being employed with the Company on each scheduled vesting date. Notwithstanding the above vesting schedule, all outstanding Sign-On Awards shall become 100% vested in the event of the Executive’s death or total disability (as defined in Article V(D) hereof) while the Executive is employed by the Company.
