Under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Option is treated as an incentive option. Capitalized terms that are not defined on the cover page or in the Option Agreement are defined in the Plan. Your Option Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Option be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. |
| 2. | The Plan. The Option is issued in accordance with and is subject to and conditioned upon all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan as amended from time to time; provided, however, that no future amendment or termination of the Plan shall, without your consent, alter or impair any of your rights or obligations under the Plan, all of which are incorporated by reference in this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. |
| 3. | Termination. To the extent not vested as of the date of your Termination of Service, the Option shall terminate immediately if you incur a Termination of Service. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, you may exercise the Option to the extent exercisable at the time of such termination, at any time prior to the expiration of three months after such termination, or for any longer period of time after such termination as shall be determined by the Committee, but not later than the Expiration Date. Should you die during your employment or service or following your Termination of Service, the Option shall immediately terminate, except that, to the extent exercisable by you at the time of your death, the Option may be exercised within one year after the date of your death but not later than the Expiration Date, solely in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Plan by your personal representatives or by the person or persons to whom your rights under the Option shall pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. |
| 4. | Additional Forfeiture. The Committee may cancel, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict the Option at any time if you (i) are not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement or the Plan or (ii) engage in any activity inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company, including, but not limited to: (A) conduct related to your service or employment for which either criminal or civil penalties against you may be sought (B) violation of any policies of the Company, including, without limitation, insider trading or anti-harassment policies or (C) participating in a hostile takeover attempt against the Company. |
| 5. | Employment Not Affected. Neither the grant of the Option, nor any other action taken with respect to the Option, shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate Grantee’s employment or service at any time. Except as may be otherwise limited by another written agreement, the right of the Company to terminate at will the Grantee’s employment with it at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge, retirement or otherwise) is specifically reserved. |
| 6. | No Stockholder Rights. Neither the Grantee, nor any person entitled to exercise the Grantee’s rights in the event of the Grantee’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a holder of the Company’s common stock subject to this Agreement. |
| 7. | Securities Laws. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the shares to be so issued are required to be registered or otherwise qualified under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under any other applicable statute, regulation or ordinance affecting the sale of securities, unless and until such shares have been so registered or otherwise qualified. |

| 8. | Severability. Should a court of competent jurisdiction deem any of the provisions in this Agreement to be unenforceable in any respect, it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that this Agreement be deemed, without further action on the part of the parties hereto, modified, amended and limited to the extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable. It is further the parties’ intent that all provisions not deemed to be overbroad shall be given their full force and effect. You acknowledge that you are freely, knowingly and voluntarily entering into this Agreement after having an opportunity for consultation with your own independent counsel. |
| 9. | Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York, irrespective of the choice of law rules of any jurisdiction. Any dispute shall be brought before the state and federal courts located in New York City, New York, and each party waives any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit or proceeding. |
