THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-QUALIFIED OPTION AGREEMENT
FOR DIRECTORS
     
Non-qualified Option
  This Agreement evidences an award of a Stock Option exercisable for that number of shares of Stock set forth on your Notice of Grant of Stock Options to which this Agreement is attached (“Grant Notice”) and subject to the vesting and other conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and on the Grant Notice. This option is not intended to be an incentive option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be interpreted accordingly.
 
   
Transfer of Stock Option
  During your lifetime, only you (or, in the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Stock Option. The Stock Option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Stock Option be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
 
   
 
  If you attempt to do any of these things, this Stock Option will immediately become forfeited.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding these restrictions on transfer, the Board or the Committee may authorize, in its sole discretion, the transfer of a vested Stock Option (in whole or in part) to a member of your immediate family or a trust for the benefit of your immediate family.
 
   
Vesting
  Your Stock Option shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule shown in the Grant Notice so long as you continue in Service on the vesting dates set forth on the Grant Notice, and is exercisable only as to its vested portion.
 
   
Forfeiture of Unvested Stock Options / Term
  Unless the termination of your Service triggers accelerated vesting of your Stock Option pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, or any other written agreement between the Company (or any Affiliate) and you, you will automatically forfeit to the Company those portions of the Stock Option that have not yet vested in the event your Service terminates for any reason.
 
   
Expiration of Vested Options After Service Terminates
  If your Service terminates for any reason, other than for Cause, then the vested portion of your Stock Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the third anniversary of your termination date.
 
   
 
  If your Service is terminated for Cause, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your entire Stock Option and the Stock Option shall immediately expire.

 


 

     
 
  In all events, your Stock Option will expire on the Expiration Date shown on the Grant Notice. Your Stock Option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described herein.
 
   
Notice of Exercise
  The Stock Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number of vested shares of Stock of not less than 100 shares, unless the number of vested shares purchased is the total number available for purchase under the option, by following the procedures set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement.
 
   
 
  When you wish to exercise this Stock Option, you must exercise in a manner required or permitted by the Company.
 
   
 
  If someone else wants to exercise this Stock Option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.
 
   
Form of Payment

  Cash, your personal check, a cashier’s check, a money order or another cash equivalent acceptable to the Company.
 
   
 
  Shares of Stock which have already been owned by you for more than six months and which are surrendered to the Company. The Fair Market Value of the shares as of the effective date of the option exercise will be applied to the option price.

Evidence of Issuance
  The issuance of the shares upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry, registration or issuance of one or more share certificates.
 
   
Withholding Taxes
  You agree as a condition of this grant that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the Stock Option exercise or sale of Stock acquired under this Stock Option.
