NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

2.Purchase Price/Termination Date. The purchase price shall be $_____ per share, being the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as defined in the Plan as of the grant date. The Options shall have a [six (6) year term], and subject to the vesting schedule and other terms of this Agreement, may be exercised by the Grantee prior to ____________.

3.Vesting of Options.

(a)The Options shall vest [over five years] according to the following schedule, if the Grantee continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries from the Date of Grant until the applicable vesting date:

(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 6 below, if, in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), the Committee determines that the Options will be assumed or replaced by a successor and the Grantee's employment or service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subsequently terminated coincident with or within one year following a Change of Control either (i) by the Grantee for Good Reason (as such term is defined in the Plan) or (ii) by the Company or its successor without Cause (as such term is defined in the Plan), the Options, to the extent that they have not yet become fully vested as of the date of such employment or service termination will immediately become 100% vested.

        4.     Manner of Exercise. The Grantee shall notify the Company by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to its principal office as to the number of shares of Common Stock (not less than 100) which Grantee desires to purchase under the Option, which notice shall be accompanied by payment (by cash, certified check or wire transfer, or, subject to the approval of the Company and in accordance with the terms of the Plan, by delivery of Mature Shares (as such term is defined in the Plan) or through sale through a broker-dealer) of the price therefor as specified in Section 2 above.

        5.     Termination of Options.

(a) Except as provided herein (including, without limitation, Section 3 hereof), in the Plan or in any employment or service contract then in effect between the Company or its successor and the Grantee, if the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any reason before the Options become vested, any Options that have not yet vested shall automatically terminate and shall be forfeited as of the date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company or the Grantee’s employer. For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided herein, in the Plan or in any employment or service contract then in effect between the Company or its successor and the Grantee, in the event of termination of the Grantee’s employment or service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws and whether or not later found to be invalid), the Grantee’s right to vest in the Options under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Grantee is no longer employed by, or providing service to, the Company or the Grantee’s employer and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., employment or service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer employed or providing service for purposes of the Option grant. No payment shall be made with respect to any unvested Options that are forfeited as described in this Section 5.

(b) Options shall be exercisable only during the term of the Option as long as the Grantee remains continuously employed by or providing service to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any successor thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, as long as the Option's term has not expired, an Option which is otherwise exercisable in accordance with its provisions shall be exercisable:

(i) for a period ending ninety (90) days after the Grantee has terminated his or her continuous employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any successor thereof; or

(ii) for a period ending ninety (90) days after the removal or resignation of the Grantee from the Board or the board of any parent entity, subsidiary or any successor thereof on which such Grantee has served; or

(iii) by the estate of the Grantee, within one (1) year after the date of the Grantee’s death, if the Grantee should die while in the continuous employment of the Company or its subsidiaries or any successor thereof or while serving on the board of the Company or any parent entity, subsidiary or any successor thereof; or

(iv) within one (1) year after the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any successor thereof terminates, if the Grantee becomes disabled during continuous employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any successor thereof and such Disability (as such term is defined in the Plan) is the cause of termination.
