WHEREAS, the Plan provides for the Grant to Participants of Options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Grant of Options. Pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an option (the “Option”) that is a Performance-Based Option to purchase «M__of_Options» shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in Section 4.3.2 of the Plan, the Option shall vest pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement and/or Schedule A attached hereto.

2.	Grant Date. The Grant Date of the Option hereby granted is Month/Date, Year.

Incorporation of Plan. All terms, conditions and restrictions of the Plan are incorporated herein and made part hereof as if stated herein. If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan, as interpreted by the Committee, shall govern, except with respect to Section 5 (Change in Control) which shall control in the event of conflict with the Plan. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan.

4.	Exercise Price. The exercise price of each share of Common Stock underlying the Option hereby granted is $XX.XX.

5.	Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Option shall vest immediately prior to such Change in Control as follows:

(a) If such Change in Control occurs in 2011, 33.33% of the Option shall vest, and the remaining 66.67% shall be forfeited and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect thereto.

(b) If such Change in Control occurs in 2012, 66.67% of the Option shall vest, and the remaining 33.33% shall be forfeited and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect thereto.

6.	Put Right.

(a) With respect to any Shares which the Participant receives upon exercise, prior to a QPO, of the Option (the “LTI Option Shares”), on the first business day immediately following the six-month anniversary of the date of exercise of such Option, the Participant shall have or her or his Transferee (as applicable) shall have the right (the “Put Right”), during the 90-day period following such business day, to sell to the Company (or its designated assignee), and upon the exercise of the Put Right the Company (or its designated assignee) shall purchase from the Participant or Transferee, all or any portion of the LTI Option Shares held by the Employee Shareholder or as of the date on which the Put Right is exercised at a per LTI Option Share price equal to the Fair Value of an LTI Option Share determined as of the date the Put Right is exercised.

(b) The Participant or Transferee shall exercise the Put Right by delivering to the Company a written notice (the “Put Notice”) specifying his or her intent to sell the LTI Option Shares held by the Participant or Transferee and the number of LTI Option Shares to be sold. The Put Right shall be deemed exercised as of the date on which the Participant or Transferee delivers such Put Notice to the Company. Such purchase and sale shall occur on such date as the Company (or its designated assignee) shall specify, which date shall be no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of the fiscal quarter in which the Put Notice is delivered. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the payment for the LTI Option Shares in cash on the date of such purchase and sale; provided that, despite using such efforts, if such payment will result in the violation of the terms or provisions of, or result in a default or event of default under, any Financing Agreement (as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement), the Company may delay any such payment until such restriction lapses as provided below. In the event the payment of the purchase price is delayed as a result of a restriction imposed by a Financing Agreement as provided above, the Company shall notify the Participant or Transferee as soon as practicable of the need for such a delay (the “Delay Notice”), and shall permit the Participant or Transferee, within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Delay Notice, to rescind the Put Notice. If the Participant or Transferee does not rescind the Put Notice as provided in the preceding sentence, the Put Notice shall remain outstanding and any payment in respect thereof shall be made without the application of further conditions or impediments as soon as practicable after the payment of such purchase price would no longer result in the violation of the terms or provisions of, or result in a default or event of default under, any Financing Agreement, and such payment shall equal the amount that would have been paid to the Participant or Transferee if no delay had occurred plus interest for the period from the date on which the purchase price would have been paid but for the delay in payment provided herein to the date on which such payment is made (the “Delay Period”), calculated at an annual rate equal to the average annual prime rate charged during the Delay Period by a nationally recognized bank designated by the Board plus one (1) percentage point.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Participant or Transferee shall be entitled to the Put Right if, prior to or concurrent with the exercise thereof, such Participant has violated any of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Plan or in any award agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan (including Section 10 of this Agreement). In the event that the Participant or Transferee exercises the Put Right and, following the date that the Company pays the Participant or Transferee the applicable purchase price for the LTI Option Shares in respect of such Put Right, the Participant violates any of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Plan or in any award agreement entered into pursuant to the Option Plan (including Section 10 of this Agreement), the Participant or Transferee shall pay to the Company, within ten (10) business days following the date of such violation, an amount equal to the amount the Company paid the Participant or Transferee to purchase the LTI Option Shares pursuant to the Put Right.

Construction of Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) which is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this section, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions thereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable. No waiver of any provision or violation of this Agreement by the Company shall be implied by the Company’s forbearance or failure to take action. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and any guidance issued thereunder and shall be interpreted, operated and administered accordingly.

Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto upon any breach or default of any party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party or any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

Limitation on Transfer. The Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s Permitted Transferee(s), as determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan (including without limitation the requirement that the Participant obtain the prior written approval by the Committee of any proposed Transfer to a Permitted Transferee during the lifetime of the Participant). Each Permitted Transferee shall be subject to all the restrictions, obligations, and responsibilities as apply to the Participant under the Plan and this Stock Option Grant Agreement and shall be entitled to all the rights of the Participant under the Plan, provided that in respect of any Permitted Transferee which is a trust or custodianship, the Option shall become exercisable and/or expire based on the Employment and termination of Employment of the Participant.
