This Option may not be exercised at any time on or after the Expiration Date.


Exercise Procedure.


Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, this Option shall be exercised by the Optionee’s delivery of written notice of exercise to the General Counsel of the Company, specifying the number of Option Shares to be purchased and the purchase price to be paid therefore (the “Purchase Price”).
