respect of a felony involving an act of dishonesty, moral turpitude, deceit or fraud by the Optionee following notice by the Company to the Optionee of the Company’s intention to terminate the Optionee’s employment as a result thereof; or (vii) a material breach of the Optionee’s management stockholder’s or other agreements, if any, including, without limitation, engaging in any action in breach of the restrictive covenants as set forth in such agreements, which continues beyond the Cure Period (to the extent that, in the Board’s reasonable judgment, such breach can be cured). No act or failure to act by the Optionee shall be deemed to constitute “Cause” if done, or omitted to be done, in good faith and with the reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. A termination for Cause shall be effective when the Company has given the Management Stockholder written notice of its intention to terminate for Cause, describing those acts or omissions that are believed to constitute Cause, and has given Management Stockholder a reasonable opportunity to respond.

Optionee’s written consent, in the Optionee’s base salary or the target bonus amount the Optionee is eligible to earn under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan or program in which the Optionee is eligible to participate (the “Bonus Plan”) provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to guarantee the Optionee’s bonus for any year if the applicable performance targets are not met; and provided further that it shall not constitute Good Reason hereunder if the Company makes an appropriate pro rata adjustment to the applicable bonus and targets under the Bonus Plan or any successor plan in the event of a change in the Company’s fiscal year. Unless the Optionee provides written notification of an event described in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) above within ninety (90) days after the Optionee knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of any such event, the Optionee shall be deemed to have consented thereto and such event shall no longer constitute Good Reason for purposes of the Agreement. If the Optionee provides such written notice to the Company, the Company shall have ten (10) business days from the date of receipt of such notice to affect a cure of the event described therein and, upon cure thereof by the Company to the reasonable satisfaction of the Optionee, such event shall no longer constitute Good Reason for purposes of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any event described in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) above must be an event which would result in a material negative change in the Optionee’s employment relationship with Company and thus effectively constitute an involuntary termination of employment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, regardless of which Good Reason definition to which the Optionee is subject, the Optionee shall agree that the fact that the Company ceases to have outstanding publicly traded equity securities shall not alone give rise to a right to resign for Good Reason.

Section 4.2. Partial Exercise

Any exercisable portion of an Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2; provided, however, that any partial exercise shall be for whole shares of Common Stock only.

Section 4.3. Manner of Exercise

An Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivering to the Secretary or his or her office or designee all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2:

(c)(i) Full payment (in cash or by check or by a combination thereof) to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation with respect to which such Option or portion thereof is exercised; or (ii) solely in the event that the Optionee’s employment terminates under circumstances identified in Section 3.2(b), (e) or (f) above, and the vested portion of the Option is within thirty (30) days of expiring pursuant to such applicable Section, in each case notice in writing that the Optionee elects to have the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued to the Optionee reduced by a number of Shares having an equivalent Fair Market Value to the payment that would otherwise be made by Optionee to the Company pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection (c);

(d) A bona fide written representation and agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, signed by the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof, stating that the shares of Common Stock are being acquired for his own account, for investment and without any present intention of distributing or reselling said shares or any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and then applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and that the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and harmless from any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to the Company if any sale or distribution of the shares by such person is contrary to the representation and agreement referred to above; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its reasonable discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems reasonably necessary to ensure the observance and performance of such representation and agreement and to effect compliance with the Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations; and
