Payment. The exercise price of an Option shall be paid in full at the time of exercise # in cash, # through the surrender of previously-acquired shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price of the Option provided that such previously-acquired shares have been held by the Participant for at least six months, unless the Committee in its discretion permits the use of shares held less than six months, # through the withholding by the Company (at the election of the Participant) of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price, provided that the Participant attests in a manner acceptable to the Committee that he or she holds previously-acquired shares equal in number to the number of shares withheld by the Company and has held such previously-acquired shares for at least six months, or # if the Common Stock is traded on an established securities market, the Committee may approve payment of the exercise price by a broker-dealer or by the Participant with cash advanced by the broker-dealer if the exercise notice is accompanied by the Participant’s written irrevocable instructions to deliver the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option to the broker-dealer, or # by a combination of (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv))], in the discretion of the Committee.

Payment of Option Price. The purchase price of Common Stock upon exercise of this Option shall be paid in full to the Corporation at the time of the exercise of the Option in cash or by the surrender to the Corporation of shares of previously acquired Common Stock which shall have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months and which shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the date the Option is exercised, or by a combination of cash and such Common Stock.

Payment of Option Price. The purchase price of Common Stock upon exercise of this Option shall be paid in full to the Corporation at the time of the exercise of the Option in cash or by the surrender to the Corporation of shares of previously acquired Common Stock which shall have been held by the Participant for at least six months and which shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the date the Option is exercised, or by a combination of cash and such Common Stock.

Subject to rules established by the Committee and unless otherwise provided in an Agreement, payment of all or part of the Option price shall be made in cash or cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee. If the Agreement so provides, the Committee, in its discretion and provided applicable law so permits, may allow a Participant to pay all or part of the Option price # by surrendering (actually or by attestation) shares of Common Stock to the Company that the Participant already owns and, if necessary to avoid adverse accounting consequences, has held for at least six months; # by a cashless exercise through a broker; # by means of a “net exercise” procedure, # by such other medium of payment as the Administrator in its discretion shall authorize or # by any combination of the aforementioned methods of payment. If shares of Common Stock are used to pay all or part of the Option price, the sum of the cash and cash equivalent and the Fair Market Value (determined as of the day preceding the date of exercise) of the shares surrendered shall equal the Option price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised. Notwithstanding the terms of either Prior Plan or any Agreement thereunder to the contrary, the Committee, in its discretion and provided applicable law so permits, may allow a Participant to pay all or part of the Option price for a Nonqualified Stock Option granted under a Prior Plan in any method permitted under this [Section 6.05].

Payment for Shares. A Stock Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Stock Option agreement by the Participant entitled to exercise the Stock Option and full payment for the shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is exercised has been received by the Company. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the exercise price for any Stock Option to be paid by # cash, certified or cashier’s check, bank draft, money order, wire transfer payable to the order of the Company, free from all collection charges; # delivery of shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant and having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price, or by a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law and not in violation of any instrument or agreement to which the Company is a party and, unless approved by the Committee, not resulting in a charge to the Company’s reported earnings; or # delivery (including by facsimile or by electronic mail) to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions from the Participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to sell certain of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the Stock Option or to pledge such shares as collateral for a loan and promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay such purchase price and any tax withholding obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise (otherwise known as a “cashless exercise”). No shares of Common Stock shall be issued to any Participant upon exercise of a Stock Option until the Company receives full payment therefor as described above. Upon the receipt of notice of exercise and full payment for the shares of Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued and the Participant shall be entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock and shall be a stockholder with respect to such shares, and the shares of Common Stock shall be considered fully paid and nonassessable. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date on which the Common Stock is issued, except as provided in [Section 22] of the Plan. Each exercise of a Stock Option shall reduce, by an equal number, the total number of shares of Common Stock that may thereafter be purchased under such Stock Option.

Method of Exercise. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice to the Company in the form (which may be electronic) prescribed by the Committee (or its delegee) setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Shares and payment of (or an arrangement satisfactory to the Company for the Participant to pay) any tax withholding required in connection with the Option exercise. The Option Price shall be payable to the Company in full either # in cash, # by delivery of Shares of Stock that the Participant has previously acquired and owned valued at Fair Market Value at the time of exercise, # by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company, from the sale with respect to the sale of Stock, the amount necessary to pay the Option Price and, if applicable, related withholding taxes, # by the Company withholding Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise valued at Fair Market Value at the time of exercise, or # by a combination of the foregoing. As soon as practicable, after receipt of written notice and payment of the Option Price and completion of payment of (or an arrangement satisfactory to the Company for the Participant to pay) any tax withholding required in connection with the Option exercise, the Company shall, in the Committee's discretion, either deliver to the Participant stock certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the number of Options exercised, issued in the Participant's name, or deliver the appropriate number of Shares in book-entry or electronic form.

by surrender of other shares (meaning, shares not subject to this Option) of Common Stock of the Company that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised. In the case of shares acquired directly or indirectly from the Company, such shares must have been owned by Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender (or such other period of time as is necessary to avoid the Company’s incurring adverse accounting charges); or # following the date, if any, upon which the Common Stock is a Listed Security, and if the Company is at such time permitting “same day sale” cashless brokered exercises, delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker participating in such cashless brokered exercise program to deliver promptly to the Company the amount required to pay the exercise price (and applicable withholding taxes).

Payment. No shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the exercise price therefor is received by the Company. Such payment may be made in whole or in part in cash or, to the extent permitted by the Committee at or after the grant of the Option, by delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by the optionee valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery, or such other lawful consideration, including a payment commitment of a financial or brokerage institution, as the Committee may determine.

The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full either: # in cash or its equivalent, or # by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price (provided that the Shares that are tendered must have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to their tender to satisfy the Option Price), or # by a combination of (a) and (b).

Payment for Shares. Payment for shares purchased upon exercise of this Option shall be made in full at the time of exercise of the Option. No loan shall be made or guaranteed by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase of any optioned shares. Payment of the Option Price shall be made in cash or may be made by delivering Common Stock of the Company having a fair market value at least equal to the Option Price, or a combination of Common Stock and cash. Such fair market value shall be determined by the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date on which this Option is exercised or, if no sale of the Common Stock shall have been made on the Exchange on that day, then on the next following day for which there is a reported sale.
