Any expenses effect surrounding the performance based options will also be factored out in arriving at the EBITDA. The options as granted shall provide for an "early exercise" right (i.e., the right of Executive to exercise options prior to their vesting date and to receive restricted stock subject to the same vesting requirements as the options exercised). In addition, the options as granted shall permit Executive (or, where applicable, his personal representative) up to eighteen (18) months following termination of employment for any reason to exercise any options which were vested at the time of such termination (including options vesting as the result of such termination, where applicable). In the event such a loan is not prohibited by the terms of any indebtedness or capital lease to which the Company is a party, upon request from Executive, the Company shall lend Executive such amount as may be necessary for him to exercise any options granted to him, such loan to be a full recourse loan and to bear interest at the minimum rate required in order to avoid imputation of income to Executive under applicable federal tax law.
