The Committee may, in its discretion, determine if such restrictions or such issuance of shares so complies with all relevant provisions of law.

SECTION 8 — EXERCISE AFTER TERMINATION OF SERVICE

After an Optionee’s Termination of Service due to death, Disability or Retirement on or after age 65, an Option may be exercised only with respect to the number of Shares which the Optionee could have acquired by an exercise of the Option immediately before the Termination of Service, but in no event after the expiration date of the Option as specified in Section 3.

Any capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the Plan. The Optionee acknowledges that nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall (i) confer upon the Optionee any additional rights to continued employment by the Company, or any corporation related to the Company; or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Optionee’s employment or change the Optionee’s compensation at any time.

SECTION 10 — TERM OF AGREEMENT

This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) complete exercise or termination of the Option; (ii) mutual agreement of the parties; or (iii) expiration of the Option Period.

(1) Where an Optionee has received Incentive Stock Options and terminates service due to Retirement, the right to exercise will expire three months after the Optionee’s Retirement; provided, however, if an Incentive Stock Option is not exercised after three months, it will remain exercisable for the longer period allowed for Retirement (one year) as if it were a Nonqualified Stock Option and will be a Nonqualified Stock Option when exercised

See the attachment to this Agreement explaining your alternative to include the current value of the Shares in income, by making an 83(b) election within 30 days of the Grant Date. You may only choose this option if you make arrangements satisfactory to AFAM to pay any required withholding taxes due now if the election is made.

Check below if you wish to make an 83(b) election:

I elect to make an 83(b) tax election to include the value of Shares granted to me in income now.

If you do not make an 83(b) election, and the shares are taxable on the vest date, you may elect to have a sufficient number of shares withheld and repurchased by the Company in satisfaction of all or part of the required tax withholding. If you do not elect this option, you must pay the Company an amount equal to the tax withholding or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for paying the withholding no later than the date of vesting. In the event you do not meet these withholding requirements, your shares will be forfeited on the day following the vest date. The Company may determine in notice to you that shares will be withheld and repurchased for taxes unless you elect otherwise.

Until such time as the Shares become vested in accordance with provisions set forth above, the Shares shall not be transferred, pledged or disposed of except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are subject to forfeiture in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan.

RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS. Any dividends that may be declared on the Shares shall be retained by AFAM until the date the Shares become vested in accordance with provisions set forth above, and will be paid to you within 30 days after the vest date, reduced by applicable tax withholding. Dividends on unvested shares are subject to forfeiture in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. By signing below, you acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan, and you hereby accept the Shares subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall give you any rights to continued employment by AFAM or interfere in any way with the right of AFAM to terminate your employment or change your compensation at any time.
