Except as otherwise provided by the Committee before the Option is exercised, (i) all or a portion of the Exercise Price may be paid by Optionee by delivery of shares of Common Stock already owned by Optionee for at least six (6) months and acceptable to the Committee having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date of exercise) that is equal to the amount of cash that would otherwise be required; (ii) Optionee may pay the Exercise Price by authorizing a third party to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise; or (iii) Optionee may pay the Exercise Price by a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Optionee. In each case Optionee’s payment shall be delivered with a written notice of exercise which shall:

In addition, unless the shares to be acquired by Optionee have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, upon and effective as of the date of exercise of the Option under this Agreement, Optionee agrees, represents and warrants that Optionee (i) is acquiring the shares of Common Stock for investment with no present intention of distributing or selling such shares or any interest therein except as permitted under this Agreement; (ii) is not only an employee but also a director or executive officer of the Company experienced in making risky investments and has the capacity to protect his interests in connection with making his decision to exercise the Option; (iii) is well-informed or capable of asking questions of the Company’s officials to make himself well-informed concerning the nature of his investment decision to exercise the Option and of the true financial status of the Company; and (iv) has obtained, analyzed and retained (or elected not to retain) copies of the Company’s current financial statements. Further, as a condition to the exercise of the Options, the Company may require the person exercising the Options to make any representation and warranty to the Company that may be required by any applicable law or regulation.

4. Termination of Employment or Death.

a. In the event Optionee’s employment shall be involuntarily terminated by the Company without cause, the Options shall only be exercisable for those portions of the Options which have completely vested as of the date of Involuntary Termination of Employment, provided such exercise occurs both within the remaining effective term of the Options and ninety (90) days after the date of termination by the Company.

b. In the event Optionee dies while employed by the Company or dies within ninety (90) days after termination of employment with the Company, whether by reason of

Retirement or Disability, involuntary termination without cause, or voluntary termination (but not termination For Cause), the Options granted hereunder to Optionee shall be exercisable within three (3) years after the date of Optionee’s death, but the Options may not be exercised for more than the number of Shares, if any, as to which the Options were exercisable by Optionee immediately prior to the date of his death or, if sooner, the date of termination of employment. The legal representative, if any, of Optionee’s estate, or otherwise the appropriate legatees or distributees of Optionee’s estate, may exercise the Option on behalf of Optionee.

c. In the event Optionee’s employment shall terminate on account of Retirement or Disability, the Options held by Optionee, to the extent exercisable through the date of such retirement or disability, may be exercised by Optionee, provided such exercise occurs within both the remaining effective term of the Options and three (3) years from the date of termination of employment.

d. In the event of Optionee’s Voluntary Termination of Employment, Optionee may exercise the Options provided such exercise occurs within both the remaining effective term of the Options and ninety (90) days from the date of termination, but the Options may not be exercised for more than the number of shares, if any, as to which the Options were exercisable by Optionee immediately prior to such termination of employment.

e. In the event Optionee shall have an Involuntary Termination of Employment “For Cause” (as defined in Section 12(d)(ii) of the Plan), no exercise period shall exist and Optionee shall forfeit the Options as of the date of termination.

f. To the extent not then exercisable in accordance with this Section, the Options shall terminate on the date Optionee’s employment terminates with the Company.

g. For purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment shall be considered to occur when an employee is no longer an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary.

6. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term hereof, will at all times reserve and keep available, and will seek or obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction any requisite authority in order to issue and sell such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements hereof. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of stock hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the nonissuance or sale of such stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

7. Application of Section 16(b). The parties acknowledge that, if the Company has a class of securities required to be registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and if Optionee is an officer, director or ten percent (10%) shareholder of the Company, the grant to Optionee of Options hereunder, or the Optionee’s sale of shares underlying the Options, may, unless the Plan is qualified under Rule 16b-3 of the SEC, subject Optionee to liability under the xxxxxxx xxxxxxx prohibitions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if Optionee purchases or sells Common Stock of

the Company within six months before or after the grant of the Options, or within six months before or after the sale of the shares underlying the Options. This acknowledgment is for informational purposes only and is not to be construed as increasing, limiting or describing the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder.

8. Restriction on Option Exercise. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, the Options may not be exercised by Optionee unless the shares to be acquired by Optionee have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), and any other applicable securities laws of any other state, or the Company receives an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel for the Company) reasonably acceptable to the Company stating that the exercise of the Options and the issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise is registered or exempt from such registration requirements. Optionee shall represent that unless and until the shares have been registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws: (1) Optionee is acquiring the shares for investment purposes only and without the intent of making any sale or disposition thereof; (2) Optionee has been advised and understands that the shares have not been registered for sale pursuant to federal and state securities laws and are “restricted securities” under such laws; and (3) Optionee acknowledges that the shares will be subject to stop transfer instructions and bear the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY OTHER STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION. NO OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER MAY TAKE PLACE WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY BEING AFFIXED HERETO. IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, SUCH APPROVAL SHALL BE GRANTED ONLY IF THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF SHAREHOLDER’S COUNSEL AT SHAREHOLDER’S EXPENSE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LAWFULLY TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION.

9. Withholding of Taxes. The Options may not be exercised unless Optionee has paid or has made provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, federal, state and local income taxes, or any other taxes (other than stock transfer taxes) which the Company may be obligated to collect as a result of the issue or transfer of Common Stock upon such exercise of the Options. In its sole discretion, and at the request of Optionee, the Company may permit Optionee (other than an Optionee who would be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act) to satisfy the obligation imposed by this Section, in whole or in part, by instructing the Company to withhold up to that number of shares otherwise issuable to Optionee with a fair market value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld.

10. Mergers, Reorganizations, and Certain Other Changes. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, reorganization, separation, merger or consolidation into, or acquisition of property or stock by another corporation, or sale of substantially all assets to another corporation, the rights of Optionee with respect to the Options granted hereunder shall be governed by the Committee, as provided in the Plan.

11. Antidilution. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Options, and the price per share, shall all be proportionately adjusted for any increase

or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock subsequent to the date of this Agreement resulting from a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction as provided in the Plan.

12. No Rights as a Stockholder. Optionee or a permitted transferee of the Options shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Options until the date as of which stock is issued following exercise of such Options.

13. No Employment Rights. This Agreement is not an employment agreement or contract and does not grant any employment rights to Optionee.

14. Other Provisions. The Company may, as a condition precedent to the exercise of the Options, require Optionee (including, in the event of Optionee’s death, his legal representatives, legatees or distributees) to enter into such agreements or to make such representations as may be required to make lawful the exercise of the Options and the ultimate disposition of the shares acquired by such exercise.
