2. Vesting; Termination of Employment.

(a) Subject to the termination or cancellation of the Option as set forth herein or in the Plan, the entire Option shall vest and become exercisable on the one year anniversary of the date of Participant’s appointment to the Company Board of Directors. The portion of the Option which has become vested and exercisable as described herein is hereinafter referred to as the “Vested Portion.”

(b) Upon termination of the Participant’s Employment for any reason, the Option shall, to the extent not previously vested, be automatically canceled without payment of consideration therefor, and the Vested Portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for the period set forth in Section 3(a)(ii).

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Transaction, the Option shall, to the extent not then vested, automatically become fully vested and exercisable.

(d) In the event of a Transaction the Committee may either (i) cancel the Option and make payment in connection with such cancellation equal to the excess, if any, of the

1

Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Option over the aggregate Option Price of such Option or (ii) provide for the issuance of substitute options or other awards that will preserve , as nearly as practicable, the economic terms of the Option, in each case as determined by the Committee in good faith and, in each case, in compliance, to the extent applicable, with Section 409A of the Code as determined by the Board.

3. Exercise of Option.

(a) Period of Exercise.

(i) In the case of termination of the Participant’s Employment due to the Participant’s death or Disability, subject to any provisions of the Plan and this Agreement to the contrary, the Participant (or his heir or legatee, if applicable) may exercise all or any part of the Vested Portion of the Option at any time prior to earliest to occur of (x) the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Date of Grant and (y) the first (1^st) anniversary of the date of termination of Employment.

(ii) In the case of termination of the Participant’s Employment for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability, subject to any provisions of the Plan and this Agreement to the contrary, the Participant may exercise all or any part of the Vested Portion of the Option at any time prior to the earliest to occur of (x) the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Date of Grant and (y) 5:00 pm (Eastern time) on the ninetieth (90^th) day following the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment.

(b) Method of Exercise.

(i) Subject to Section 3(a), the Vested Portion of the Option may be exercised by delivering to the Company at its principal office written notice of intent to so exercise; provided that the Option may be exercised with respect to whole Shares only. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised (the “Purchased Shares”) and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price in cash or by check or wire transfer; provided, however, that payment of such aggregate exercise price may instead be made, in whole or in part, by (i) the delivery to the Company of a certificate or certificates representing Shares, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed stock power, which delivery effectively transfers to the Company good and valid title to such Shares, free and clear of any pledge, commitment, lien, claim or other encumbrance (such shares to be valued on the basis of the aggregate Fair Market Value thereof on the date of such exercise), or (ii) by a reduction in the number of Purchased Shares to be issued upon such exercise having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate Option Price in respect of the Purchased Shares, provided that the Company is not then prohibited from purchasing or acquiring such Shares. The Participant shall not have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to the Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares, satisfied any applicable withholding requirements and, if applicable, satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee or pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement.

2

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Option may not be exercised prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Option or the Shares under applicable state and federal securities or other laws, or under any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national securities exchange (collectively, the “Legal Requirements”) that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable, unless an exemption to such registration or qualification is available and satisfied. The Committee may establish additional procedures as it deems necessary or desirable in connection with the exercise of the Option or the issuance of any Shares upon such exercise to comply with any Legal Requirements. Such procedures may include but are not limited to the establishment of limited periods during which the Option may be exercised or that following receipt of the notice of exercise, and prior to the completion of the exercise, the Participant will be required to affirm the exercise of the Option following receipt of any disclosure deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee.

(iii) Upon the Committee’s determination that the Option has been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, and that the Participant has paid in full for such Shares and satisfied any applicable withholding requirements, the Company shall issue certificates in the Participant’s name for such Shares.

(iv) In the event of the Participant’s death, the Vested Portion of the Option shall remain exercisable by the Participant’s executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution as the case may be, to the extent set forth in Section 3(a)(i) (and the term “Participant” shall be deemed to include such heir or legatee). Any such heir or legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

(v) In consideration of the grant of this Option, the Participant agrees that, as a condition to the exercise of any option to purchase Shares (whether this Option or any other option), the Participant shall, with respect to such Shares, have become a party to the Shareholders Agreement.
