          Your Award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference, and this letter (the “Award Agreement”). In the event of any contradiction, distinction or difference between this Award Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

          Subject to your continued service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, one-third of your Award will vest and become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date. In addition, upon your death or Disability while you are providing services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, your Award will fully vest and become exercisable.

          Subject to the terms of the Plan and your continued service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, your Award will remain exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”). Upon the date of your termination of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (a “Termination Date”), your Award shall remain exercisable (the “Exercise Period”) only in accordance with the following provisions:

	•		Upon your termination of service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any other reason, any unexercised portion of your Award shall be immediately forfeited with no further compensation due to you upon your Termination Date.

          Any vested and exercisable portion of your Award that is not so exercised within the applicable Exercise Period shall be forfeited with no further compensation due to you. Additionally, any portion of your Award that is not vested or exercisable as of your Termination Date shall cease to vest and shall be immediately forfeited on such date with no further compensation due to you.

          All or part of the exercisable portion of your Option may be exercised by you upon (a) your written notice to the Company of exercise, (b) your payment of the applicable exercise price in cash or as otherwise may be permitted by the Committee and (c) your having made appropriate arrangements with the Company for the withholding of any taxes which may be due with respect to your exercise of the Option. Payment of the exercise price of the Option shall in all events be made within three days of the date of exercise.

          The Company may impose any additional conditions or restrictions on the Award or the exercise of the Option as it deems necessary or advisable to ensure that all rights granted under the Plan satisfy the requirements of applicable securities and other laws. The Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any shares if such action violates any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or national securities exchange.

          The Committee may amend the terms of this Award Agreement to the extent it deems appropriate to carry out the terms of the Plan. The construction and interpretation of any provision of this Award Agreement or the Plan shall be final and conclusive when made by the Committee.
