_________________, 200_ ______________
The vesting of the Option may be accelerated in accordance with Article VIII of
the Plan.
The Option may be exercised by giving written notice of exercise to the
Company addressed to the President or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company
stating the number of shares as to which the Option is being exercised. Such
notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price Per Share
for the number of covered shares as to which option is being exercised (i) in
cash or by certified or cashier's check, (ii) by delivering to the Company
shares of common stock of the Company already owned by the Participant and
acceptable to the Committee which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to
the Exercise Price Per Share for the number of Covered Shares as to which the
Option is being exercised, or (iii) by another method approved by the Committee.
The Option may be exercised to purchase a number of whole shares which is
less than the total number of shares of common stock subject to the Option at
any time and from time to time.
The Option may not be exercised unless the covered shares are first
registered pursuant to any applicable federal or state laws or regulations or,
in the opinion of counsel to the Company, are exempt from such registration.
Nothing contained in the Plan or in this Agreement shall be construed to require
the Company to take any action whatsoever to make exercisable any Option or to
make transferable any shares issued upon the exercise of any Option.
(C) Termination of Option. The Option shall expire on the Expiration
Date, unless the Participant's employment terminates prior to the Expiration
Date, in which event, the Option shall Expire as follows:
(1) Upon Termination for Cause (hereinafter defined), the Option
shall expire on the date of such termination;
(2) Upon the death of the Participant, the Option shall expire one
year from the date of the Participant's death;
(3) In the event of Disability (as defined in the Plan), the Option
shall expire one year from the date of termination of employment due to
Disability;
13
(4) Upon Retirement (as defined in the Plan), the Option shall expire
one year after the Participant's Retirement date;
(5) In the event of Voluntary Termination (as defined in the Plan),
the Option shall expire six months after the Participant's termination date; or
(6) In the event of Involuntary Termination (as defined in the Plan),
then Option shall expire three months after the Participant's termination date.
The Committee's determination whether a Participant's employment has terminated,
the reason therefor and the effective date thereof, shall be final and
conclusive on all persons affected thereby.
For purposes of this Agreement, Termination for Cause means discharge of
a Participant for personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach
of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform
assigned duties and responsibilities, willful violation of any law, rule,
regulation or final cease and desist order (other than traffic violations or
similar offenses), conviction of a felony or for fraud or embezzlement, or
material breach of any provision of any written employment agreement between the
Participant and the Company.
(D) Withholding. All deliveries and distributions under this Agreement
are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. In the discretion of the
Committee, such withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender
of shares of common stock, of the Company already owned by the Participant or to
which the Participant is entitled as a result of the exercise of the Option.
3. Non-Assignability of the Option. The Option shall not be assignable or
transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and the terms and conditions of the Option shall be binding upon
the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Participant.
4. Incentive Stock Option Qualification. The Option is intended to be an
ISO under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). The Participant acknowledges that in order for the Option to qualify as
an ISO, the following additional conditions must be satisfied:
(A) The Participant must remain employed by the Company (or a subsidiary
of the Company) at least until three months before the Option is exercised (or
one year in the case of a Participant who dies or is disabled within the meaning
of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code);
(B) The Participant may not dispose of the shares acquired upon the
exercise of the Option (i) within two years of the date of the grant of the
Option, and (ii) within one year after the date of the exercise of the Option;
and
14
(C) The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date of the
grant of the option) of the shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable
by the Participant under all plans of the Company or a subsidiary for the first
time in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000, or such other limit as may
be required by the Code. If such limit is exceeded, the options will not be
deemed to be an ISO under the Code to the extent the aggregate fair market value
exceeds $100,000, beginning with the option most recently granted to the
Participant.
5. Governing Law. The rights and obligations of the Participant and the
Company under this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Ohio in all respects, including, without
limitation, matters relating to the validity, construction, interpretation,
administration, effect, enforcement, and remedies provisions of the Plan and its
rules and regulations, except to the extent preempted by applicable federal law.
The Participant and the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the state
and federal courts of the State of Ohio with respect to matters relating to the
Plan and this Agreement and agree not to raise or assert the defense that such
forum is not convenient.
6. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of the Company
and of the Participant enumerated in this Agreement shall be cumulative and,
except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, none shall exclude any
other rights or remedies allowed by law or in equity, and each of said rights or
remedies may be exercised and enforced concurrently.
7. Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are included only for
convenience of reference and do not define, limit, explain or modify this
Agreement or its interpretation, construction or meaning and are in no way to be
construed as a part of this Agreement.
8. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of
any provision hereof to any person or any circumstance shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable, then such determination shall not affect any other
provision of this Agreement or the application of such provision to any other
person or circumstance, all of which other provisions shall remain in full force
and effect. It is the intention of each party to this Agreement that if any
provision of this Agreement is susceptible of two or more constructions, one of
which would render the provision enforceable and the other or others of which
would render the provision unenforceable, then the provision shall have the
meaning which renders it enforceable.
9. Plan as Controlling. All terms and conditions of the Plan applicable to
options granted thereunder which are not set forth in this Agreement shall be
deemed incorporated herein by reference. In the event that any provision in this
Agreement conflicts with any term in the Plan, the term in the Plan shall be
deemed controlling. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
15
10. No Right to Continued Employment. This Plan does not constitute a
contract of employment. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement confers upon
the Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Company or interferes
with or restricts in any way the right of the Company to discharge the
Participant at any time (subject to any contract rights of such Participant).
11. Stockholders' Rights. The Participant shall have none of the rights or
privileges of a stockholder of the Company, including but not limited to the
right to receive dividends on the Covered Shares, except with respect to shares
as to which a stock certificate has been duly issued to the Participant.
12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement, and this Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
agreements between the parties hereto in connection with the subject matter of
this Agreement. No change, termination or attempted waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon any party hereto unless
contained in a writing signed by the party to be charged.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed as of __________________ __, 200_.
