3.Treatment of Options on Termination. The provisions of Section 7(c)(iii) of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof; provided, however, that in the case of a Termination as a result of the Participant’s death, unvested Options will remain outstanding for one (1) month following the date of such Termination, but shall be eligible to vest only to the extent the Committee determines, during such one (1) month period, to accelerate the vesting of such unvested Options, and if the Committee fails to make such determination (or otherwise determines to not to accelerate and terminate the consideration period), the unvested Options will terminate without further action at the end of such period.

Such notice shall be delivered either (a) in writing to the Company at its principal office or at such other address as may be established by the Committee, to the attention of the Company’s General Counsel or its designee; or (b) to a third-party plan administrator as may be arranged for by the Company or the Committee from time to time for purposes of the administration of outstanding Options under the Plan, in the case of either (a) or (b), as communicated to the Participant by the Company from time to time. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price may be made using any of the methods described in Section 7(d)(i) or (ii)(A), (B) and (C) of the Plan; provided that the Participant shall obtain written consent from the Company prior to the use of the methods described in Section 7(d)(ii)(A) or (C) of the Plan.
