Section 4.1. Person Eligible to Exercise

Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee in writing or provided in the Stockholders Agreement, the Optionee is the only Person that may exercise the exercisable portion of the Option, unless and until the Optionee dies or suffers a Disability. After the Disability or death of the Optionee, the exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2 hereof, be exercised by the Optionee’s personal representative, guardian or by any person empowered to do so under the Optionee’s will or under the then Applicable Laws of descent and distribution.

Section 4.2. Partial Exercise

Any exercisable portion of an Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2; provided, however, that any partial exercise shall be for whole Shares only.

Section 4.3. Manner of Exercise

An Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivering to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2:

(a) notice in writing signed by the Optionee or the other Person then entitled to exercise the Option or portion thereof, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Committee;

(b) full payment of the applicable aggregate exercise price (in cash, by check, by wire transfer or by a combination of the foregoing) for the Shares with respect to which such Option or portion thereof is exercised;

(c) a bona fide written representation and agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, signed by the Optionee or other Person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof, stating that the Shares are being acquired for the Optionee’s own account, for investment and without any present intention of distributing or reselling said Shares or any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act”), and that the Optionee or other Person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and harmless from any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to the Company if any sale or distribution of the Shares by such Person is contrary to the representation and agreement referred to above; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its reasonable discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems reasonably necessary to ensure the observance and performance of such representation and agreement and to effect compliance with the Securities Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations;

(d) unless already delivered, a written instrument (a “Joinder”) pursuant to which the Optionee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement to the same extent as a Management Stockholder thereunder, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company;

(e) full payment to the Company or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, of all amounts which, under federal, state, local and/or non-U.S. law, such entity is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option; and

(f) in the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 by any Person or Persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such Person or Persons to exercise the Option.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any subsequent transfer of Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement and the Committee may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer of Shares acquired on exercise of an Option does not violate the Securities Act, and may issue stop-transfer orders covering such Shares. The written representation and agreement referred to in subsection (c) above shall, however, not be required if the Shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise have been registered under the Securities Act, and such registration is then effective in respect of such Shares.

Section 4.4. Conditions to Issuance of Shares

The Company shall not be required to record the ownership by the Optionee of Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a) the obtaining of approval or other clearance from any federal, state, local or non-U.S. governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its reasonable and good faith discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

(b) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience or as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law; and

Section 4.5. Rights as Stockholder

The Optionee shall not be, and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of, stockholders of the Company in respect of any Shares purchasable in connection with the Option or any portion thereof unless and until a book entry representing such Shares has been made on the books and records of the Company.
