5.2

Terms & Conditions of Options.

(a) The Initial Option and each Subsequent Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions specified in paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section, respectively, and shall also be subject to the terms and conditions specified in paragraph (d) of this Section.

The Initial Option:

shall have an exercise price equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date on which the Stock Option grant is approved by the Board or the Committee.

(ii)

shall become vested/exercisable at a rate of 1/36th per month for a vesting period of thirty six (36) months for as long as Executive remains employed by the Company; provided, however, that the Initial Option shall immediately become 100% vested/exerciseable upon a Termination of Employment by reason of the death or Disability, a Termination Without Cause, a Termination for Good Reason, or a Change of Control.

-7-

(c)

Each Subsequent Option shall in all other respects be on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to Executive than the terms and conditions applicable to Options granted at or about the same time to other senior executives of the Company.

(d)

The Initial Option and each Subsequent Option:

(i)

shall have a term (the “Option Term”) of at least ten (10) years;

(ii)

may be exercised after the Date of Termination to the extent such Option was exercisable on such date (after giving effect to any acceleration of exercisability by reason of Termination of Employment):

(A) in the event of Termination of Employment by reason of death or Disability, a Termination for Good Reason, or a Termination without Cause, at any time or from time before the expiration of the applicable Option Term, or

(B) in the event of any other Termination of Employment, at any time or from time to time during the five-year period commencing on the Date of Termination, but not after the expiration of the applicable Option Term;

(iii) shall not be transferable by Executive during his lifetime except to a Permitted Transferee; and

(iv)

The “Option Spread” applicable to an Option shall equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Option multiplied by the positive difference, if any, between the cash amount to be paid for each share of Common Stock in such merger or consolidation and the exercise price of such Option

(e)

In the event of a Merger (as defined in 1.13(b)(i), pursuant to which Company shares are exchanged for or converted into other securities or property, the Board shall appropriately adjust each outstanding vested Option (including exercise price, as appropriate) such that, upon exercise thereof, each Option will entitle the holder to receive the securities and/or property that such holder would have received had the Option been exercised immediately prior to upon payment of the applicable exercise price of such option.

5.3 Manner of Exercise of Options. Any Option or any part thereof shall be exercised by Executive, his Permitted Transferee or, if after his death, a Beneficiary by a written notice to the Company stating the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised and the form of payment of the exercise price of the Option and any related Withholding Taxes. Such payment may be made in any one or more of the following forms:

-8-

(a)

cash, or

(b)

previously-owned shares of Common Stock (which, if acquired from the Company or an Affiliate, shall have been held by Executive for at least six (6) months) valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

The Company shall deliver the purchased shares of Common Stock promptly after its receipt of notice of exercise and payment.

5.4 Adjustment of Options. If any dividend is declared on the Common Stock which is payable in Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to which any Option is subject shall be multiplied by (and the exercise price of such Option shall be divided by) the sum of the number 1.0 plus the number of shares of Common Stock (including any fraction thereof) payable as a dividend on each share of Common Stock. In the event of any change in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, stock split or any similar change affecting the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock), the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock and exercise price applicable to each Option so that, after such adjustment, the Option shall represent a right to receive, upon payment of the same aggregate exercise price as in effect immediately before such adjustment, the same consideration (or of such consideration is not available, other consideration of the same value) that Executive would have been entitled to receive before such recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, stock split or other change affecting the Common Stock.
