(a) General. Except as may otherwise be provided herein, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in four equal installments on the day prior to each of the [first, second, third and fourth] anniversaries of the Effective Date provided that the Executive remains employed with the Company on each such date, such that one hundred percent (100%) of the Option shall be vested and exercisable on the day prior to the [fourth] anniversary of the Effective Date; provided that the unvested portion of the Option shall become vested and exercisable upon a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company (A) due to his death, or (B) by the Company due to his Disability or without Cause, or (C) by the Executive for Good Reason, if applicable, in each case on or after a Change in Control or, in the case of a termination by the Company without Cause or a termination by the Executive for Good Reason, if applicable, in each case in anticipation of a Change in Control.

(b) The term “Vested Option,” as used herein, shall mean the portion of the Option on and following the time that the vesting condition set forth in Section 5(a) hereof has been satisfied as to such portion. The portion of the Option which has not become the Vested Option is hereinafter referred to as the “Unvested Option.”

(c) The Option may be exercised only as to the Vested Option, and only by written notice using the applicable form provided by Parent delivered in person or by mail in accordance with Section 12(a) hereof and accompanied by payment therefor. The purchase price of the Option Shares shall be paid by the Executive to Parent (A) by certified check or wire transfer (using such wire transfer instructions as are provided by Parent or the Company), (B) by transferring to Parent shares of Common Stock, if and in the manner approved by Parent, (C) by a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” procedure if and in the manner approved by the Committee, or (D) by any other method approved in writing by the Committee. If requested by Parent, the Executive shall promptly deliver his copy of this Agreement evidencing the Option to the Secretary of Parent who shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and promptly return such Agreement to the Executive. Upon payment of the applicable purchase price and the issuance of the Option Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

6. Effect of Termination of Employment on Option.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment may be terminated (i) by the Company for Cause or by the employee in violation of any applicable employment agreement (a “6(a)(i) Termination”), (ii) by the Executive other than as a Retirement and without any violation of any applicable employment agreement (a “6(a)(ii) Termination”), (iii) by the Company without Cause (including on account of Disability), or on account of the Executive’s death or by the Executive for Good Reason (a “6(a)(iii) Termination”) or (iv) by the Executive on account of Retirement (a “6(a)(iv) Termination”). For purposes of the preceding sentence, “Retirement” shall mean the Executive’s voluntary termination of employment with the Company on or after the age of 62, after no less than 10 years of employment with the Company.

(b) The Unvested Option, if any, shall immediately terminate upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates for any reason.

Except as described in Section 12(k) of the Plan, the Option shall not be transferable by the Executive other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported transfer shall be void and unenforceable against Parent; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute a transfer or encumbrance.

or the Company (as designated by Parent) any such additional amount as Parent (or the Company) determines that it is required to withhold under applicable federal, state or local tax laws in respect of the exercise or the transfer of Option Shares; provided that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow such withholding obligation to be satisfied by withholding Option Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Option or by any other method.
