ARTICLE III
EXERCISE OF OPTION
EXERCISE OF OPTION
3.1 Person Eligible to Exercise. Except as provided in Sections 4.2(b) and 4.2(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 the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 2.3, be exercised by the Optionees beneficiary designated in accordance with Section 10.4 of the Plan. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Optionee, the Option may be exercised by the person entitled to such exercise pursuant to the Optionees will or the laws of descent and distribution.
3.2 Partial Exercise. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 2.3.
3.3 Manner of Exercise. The Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the Secretary of the Company or the Secretarys office of all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 2.3:
(a) An exercise notice in writing signed by the Optionee or the other person then entitled to exercise the Option or portion thereof, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Committee. Such notice shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (or such other form as is prescribed by the Committee) (the Exercise Notice); and

(ii) With the consent of the Committee, such payment may be made, in whole or in part, through the delivery of shares of Stock which have been owned by the Optionee for at least six months, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof; or

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT PAGE 2
proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price, provided, that payment of such proceeds is made to the Company upon settlement of such sale; or
(iv) With the consent of the Committee, any combination of the consideration provided in the foregoing subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii); and
(c) A bona fide written representation and agreement, in such form as is prescribed by the Committee, signed by the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof, stating that the shares of Stock are being acquired for the Optionees own account, for investment and without any present intention of distributing or reselling said shares or any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act and then applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and that the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and harmless from any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to the Company if any sale or distribution of the shares by such person is contrary to the representation and agreement referred to above. The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to ensure the observance and performance of such representation and agreement and to effect compliance with the Securities Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer of shares acquired on an Option exercise does not violate the Securities Act, and may issue stop-transfer orders covering such shares. Share certificates evidencing Stock issued on exercise of the Option shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the provisions of this subsection (c) and the agreements herein. The written representation and agreement referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (c) shall, however, not be required if the shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise have been registered under the Securities Act, and such registration is then effective in respect of such shares; and
(d) Full payment to the Company (or other employer corporation) of all amounts which, under federal, state or local tax law, it is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option. With the consent of the Committee, (i) shares of Stock owned by the Optionee for at least six months duly endorsed for transfer or (ii) shares of Stock issuable to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option, having a Fair Market Value at the date of Option exercise equal to the statutory minimum sums required to be withheld, may be used to make all or part of such payment; and
(e) In the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 3.1 by any person or persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.
3.4 Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates. The shares of Stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued 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 shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
(a) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Stock is then listed; and
(b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; and
(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and
(d) The receipt by the Company of full payment for such shares, including payment of all amounts which, under federal, state or local tax law, the Company (or other employer corporation) is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option; and
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT PAGE 3
(e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.
3.5 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 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 to such holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company shall not deliver to the Optionee certificates evidencing shares of Stock issued in connection with the exercise of this Option and instead such shares of Stock will be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

(c) Unless transferred to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 4.2(b), 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 the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 2.3, be exercised by the Optionees beneficiary designated in accordance with Section 10.4 of the Plan. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Optionee, the Option may be exercised by the person entitled to such exercise pursuant to the Optionees will or the laws of descent and distribution.
