Automatic Exercise. Any Option Shares that are exercisable but unexercised as of the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date shall be automatically exercised on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date if the purchase price of an Option Share is less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date and the automatic exercise will result in the issuance of at least one (1) whole Share to the Participant after payment of the purchase price and any applicable tax withholding requirements. Payment of the purchase price and any applicable tax withholding requirements shall be made by having the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise reduced by a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the purchase price and any applicable tax withholding requirements.

Automatic Exercise. Any Option Shares that are exercisable but unexercised as of the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date shall be automatically exercised on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date if the purchase price of an Option Share is less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date and the automatic exercise will result in the issuance of at least one (1) whole Share to the Participant after payment of the purchase price and any applicable tax withholding requirements. Payment of the purchase price and any applicable tax withholding requirements shall be made by having the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise reduced by a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the purchase price and any applicable tax withholding requirements.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (in an Award Agreement or otherwise) or as otherwise directed by the Participant in writing to the Company, each Option outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an exercise price per share that is less than the Fair Market Value per share of Stock as of such date shall automatically and without further action by the Participant or the Company be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date. In the discretion of the Committee, payment of the Option Exercise Price and Taxes upon the automatic exercise of any such Option shall be made by having shares of Stock withheld as contemplated by Section 8(b)(iv). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Section 8(b)(vi) shall not apply to an Option if the Participant of such Option incurs a Termination of Employment on or before the Automatic Exercise Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Option with an exercise price per share that is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Automatic Exercise Date shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 8(b)(vi).
