(a)    Cash;

(b)    Check;

(c)    With the consent of the Administrator, surrender of other Shares which have been held by the Optionee for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares with respect to which the Option or portion thereof is being exercised;

(d)    With the consent of the Administrator, surrendered Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares with respect to which the Option or portion thereof is being exercised; or

4.5    Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates. The Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or issued Shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Shares purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 12.3 of the Plan.

4.6    Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of any Shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 3.2 of the Plan.

5.1    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control:

(a)    With respect to each outstanding Option that is assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, in the event that during the twenty-four (24) month period following such Change in Control a Optionee's employment or Service is terminated without Cause by the Company or any Affiliate or the Optionee resigns from employment or Service from the Company or any Affiliate with Good Reason, such Option shall become fully vested and exercisable (but, the Optionee's restrictive covenant obligations under the Restrictive Covenants Agreement and this Agreement shall not lapse).

(b)    With respect to each outstanding Option that is not assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, such Option shall become fully vested and exercisable (but, the Optionee's restrictive covenant obligations under the Restrictive Covenants Agreement and this Agreement shall not lapse).

(c)    For purposes of this Section 5.1, an Option shall be considered assumed or substituted for if, following the Change in Control, the Option is (i) based on shares of common stock that are traded on an established U.S. securities market and (ii) of comparable value and remains subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Option immediately prior to the Change in Control except that, if the Option that relates to Shares shall instead relate to the common stock of the acquiring or ultimate parent entity.

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, except as would otherwise result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code, the Administrator may, in its discretion, provide that each Option shall, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, be cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash or securities in an amount equal to (i) the excess (if any) of the consideration paid per Share in the Change in Control over the exercise or purchase price per Share subject to the Option multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares granted under the Option. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the consideration paid per Share in the Change in Control is less than or equal to the exercise or purchase price per Share subject to the Option, then the Administrator may, in its discretion, cancel such Option without any consideration upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

6.1    Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan, the Restrictive Covenants Agreement and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Optionee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator or the Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Option.

(b)    The Option shall not be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Optionee or the Optionee's successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy) unless and until the Option has been exercised, and any attempted disposition thereof prior to exercise shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by Section 6.2(a) hereof; and

(c)    During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee may exercise the Option (or any portion thereof); after the death of the Optionee, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or this Agreement, be exercised by the Optionee's personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's will or under the then-applicable laws of descent and distribution.

6.3    Adjustments. The Optionee acknowledges that the Option is subject to modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Article 3 of the Plan.

6.4    Termination of Employment or Service/Breach of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to termination of employment or Service, including without limitation, whether a termination has occurred, whether any termination resulted from a discharge for Cause and whether any particular leave of absence constitutes a termination, as well as whether the Optionee has fully complied with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement for purposes of this Agreement.
