2. Option Price.

     The Option Price per Share shall be $___.

	3.		Initial Exercisability.
	(a)		Subject to paragraph 5 below, the Option, to the extent that there has been no termination of the Optionee’s employment and the Option has not otherwise expired or been forfeited, shall become exercisable as follows:

For the Period Ending On		Percent of the Grant Exercisable

	(b)		Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option shall also become exercisable and otherwise vested (i) if and as provided in the employment agreement between the Optionee and the Company, dated as of ___, as amended from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”) to the same extent as they would were the provisions of the Employment Agreement relating to such exercisability and vesting applicable by their terms to the Options, if and to the extent the Employment Agreement is in effect at the relevant time, and nothing herein shall limit any of the Optionee’s rights under the Employment Agreement and (ii) upon a Change in Control while the Optionee is employed.
	4.		Exercisability Upon and After Termination of Optionee.
	(a)		In the event of the Optionee’s Termination of Service other than a termination by the Company and its Subsidiaries for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement, if and to the extent the Employment Agreement is in effect at the relevant time) or termination by reason of death, Retirement or Disability, no exercise of the Option may occur after the expiration of the three-month period to follow such termination, or if earlier, the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in paragraph 5 below; provided that, if the Optionee should die after a Termination of Service, such termination being for a reason other than Disability or Retirement, but while the Option is still in effect, the Option (if and to the extent otherwise exercisable under paragraph 3(a) above) may be exercised in the manner provided by the Plan until the earlier of (i) one year from the date of the Termination of Service of the Optionee, or (ii) the date on which the term of the Option expires in accordance with paragraph 5 below.
	(b)		In the event the Optionee has a Termination of Service on account of death, Disability or Retirement, the Option (whether or not otherwise exercisable) may be exercised until the earlier of (i) one year from the date of the Termination of Service of the Optionee, or (ii) the date on which the term of the Option expires as provided under paragraph 5 below.
	(c)		Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Optionee has a Termination of Service by the Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate for Cause, the Optionee’s Options, to the extent then unexercised, shall thereupon cease to be exercisable and shall be forfeited forthwith (whether or not the Options were exercisable previously).
	(d)		Other than as specified below, no Option (or portion thereof) which had not become exercisable at the time of cessation of employment shall ever be or become exercisable. No provision of this paragraph 4 is intended to or shall permit the exercise of the Option to the extent the Option was not exercisable upon cessation of employment.

2

	(e)		The Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate all or a portion of the vesting of any Option upon the cessation of the Optionee’s employment for any reason (other than a termination by the Company for Cause).
	5.		Term.

     Unless earlier forfeited, the Option shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, expire in its entirety upon the 10th anniversary of the date hereof.

	(d)		The failure of the Optionee or the Company to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the Plan, or to assert any right the Optionee or the Company, respectively, may have under this Agreement or the Plan, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement or the Plan.
