No portion of the Stock Option may be exercised until it vests. Each election to exercise the Stock Option must comply with such rules as the Administrator prescribes from time to time and must be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price in the form of (i) cash or a check acceptable to the Administrator, (ii) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, payment by means of a broker-assisted cashless exercise program, (iii) such other form of payment, if any, as may be acceptable to the Administrator, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. The latest date on which the Stock Option or any portion thereof may be exercised will be the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Final Exercise Date”); provided, however, if at such time the Optionee is prohibited by applicable law or written Company policy applicable to the Optionee and similarly situated employees from engaging in any open-market sales of Stock, the Final Exercise Date will be automatically extended to thirty (30) days following the date the Optionee is no longer prohibited from engaging in such open-market sales. Any portion of the Stock Option that remains outstanding and has not been exercised by the Final Exercise Date will thereupon immediately terminate. Upon any earlier termination of Employment, the provisions of Section 6(a)(4)(A)-(E) of the Plan shall apply.
