EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Options granted under this [Article 6] shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant.

Exercise of Options. Each Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.

Exercise of Options. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Company or its designee, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Shares as instructed by the Board or, subject to the approval of the Board pursuant to procedures approved by the Board,

Exercise of this Option shall be made upon delivery to the Company pursuant to [Section 8], of # this Stock Option Agreement; # a duly completed and executed election notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Election Notice”) and # payment of the Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made at the option of the Option Holder either # in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to Exercise Price per share in effect at the time of exercise multiplied by the number of Option Shares specified in the Election Notice, or # through a cashless exercise provided in [Section 4(b)] below. The Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) business days after the “Date of Exercise,” as defined herein) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to the Option Holder in such name or names as the Option Holder may designate in the Election Notice, a certificate for the Option Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as required by the 1933 Act, as applicable. Any person so designated by the Option Holder to receive Option Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Option Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Option. All Option Shares delivered to the Option Holder the Company covenants, shall upon due exercise of this Option, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Exercise of Options. A Participant may exercise an Option only on or before the date on which the Option expires, as provided in Subsection # below.

Seller may exercise the Fixed Price Option at any time during the period between and including the seven (7) month anniversary of the Closing Date and the thirty-five (35) month anniversary of the Closing Date by delivering a Notice of Exercise to Buyer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Grant Agreement or the Plan, the Stock Options may be exercised only by a “cashless exercisemethod by which the Company’s designated broker, upon receipt of the Employee’s written exercise request, shall pay the Company the Grant Price for the total number of Shares to be exercised and sell all such Shares at the then current trading price. The Company will not accept funds to exercise the Stock Options from any other source, and the broker will not accept instructions to sell fewer than all of the Shares exercised.

Exercise. Each Option shall become and be exercisable at such time or times and during such period or periods, in full or in such installments as may be determined by the Board at the Option Date. In addition, if permitted by the Board or the terms of the Option Grant Certificate evidencing such Stock Option, Participants may elect to pay the purchase price of shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options in cash or through delivery at the time of such exercise of shares of Stock (valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise) already owned by the Participant, or any combination thereof, equivalent to the purchase price of such Incentive Stock Options. A Participant’s payment of the purchase price in connection with the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option through delivery of share of Stock (“ISO Stock”) that were acquired through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and that have not been held for more than one year will be considered a disposition (within the meaning of Code Section 422(c)) of ISO Stock, resulting in the disqualification of the ISO Stock from treatment as an Incentive Stock Option under Code Section 422, and the Participant’s recognition of ordinary income. Participants should consult with their tax advisors prior to electing to exercise an Incentive Stock Option by this method.

Stock Options: The Parties agree that for purposes of determining the number of stock options of the Company’s common stock that Employee is entitled to purchase from the Company, pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options, Employee will be considered to have vested only up to the Termination Date. Employee acknowledges that, as of the Termination Date, Employee has 209,375 vested options and no more. The exercise of Employee’s vested stock options shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the Company’s Stock Agreements.

SECTION # OPTIONS: Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may grant Options to Participants on such terms and conditions as the Committee may provide for in an Award Agreement or by action of the Committee, including, but not limited to: Exercise Price; vesting schedule; method of payment of the Exercise Price; treatment upon termination of employment or service; treatment upon certain corporate transactions or events, including a Change in Control; and other terms and conditions that the Committee may deem appropriate. Options granted under this Plan may not provide for any dividends or dividend equivalents thereon. Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Participants who meet the definition of “employees” under Section 3401(c) of the Code.
