This Option is intended to be treated as a nonqualified stock option, which is not subject to Code Section 422. This Option is exercisable as hereinafter provided.

2. Terms and Conditions. This Option is subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Expiration Date. This Option shall expire at 11:59 p.m. on ________, ______ (the “Expiration Date”) or such earlier time as set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6. In no event shall the Expiration Date be later than 10 years from the Date of ▇▇▇▇▇.

(b) Vesting of Option.

(i) In General. Except as otherwise provided below, this Option shall become exercisable with respect to ______ percent (____%) of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option (rounded to the nearest whole share) on each of the _____, ____ and ______ anniversaries of the Date of Grant and with respect to the remaining shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on the _____ anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided the Participant has been continuously employed by, or providing services to, the Company or an Affiliate from the Date of Grant until such time. Once this Option has become exercisable, it shall continue to be exercisable until the earlier of the termination of the Participant’s rights hereunder pursuant to Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6 or the Expiration Date. A partial exercise of this Option shall not affect the Participant’s right to exercise this Option with respect to the remaining shares of Common Stock, subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.

(ii) Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Change in Control occurs and no provision is made for the continuance, assumption or substitution of the Option by the Company or its successor in connection with a Change in Control, then, the Option shall become exercisable in full, to the extent not exercisable previously, on the earlier of the Control Change Date or the date the Option is to be terminated in connection with the Change in Control, provided the Participant has remained continuously employed by, or providing service to, the Company or any Affiliate from the Date of Grant until such time.

(iii) Death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Option also shall become exercisable in full, to the extent not then previously exercisable, in the event the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Participant has a Disability for purposes of this Agreement.

(iv) Termination without Cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Option also shall become exercisable in full, to the extent not then previously exercisable, in the event the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated by the Company or any Affiliate involuntarily and without Cause.

(c) Method of Exercise and Payment for Shares. This Option shall be exercised by delivering written notice of exercise, along with the Option price for the portion of the Option being exercised and all applicable tax withholdings, to the attention of the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s address specified in Section 10. The exercise date shall be the date of delivery. The Participant shall pay the Option price and all applicable tax withholdings in cash or cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee. However, the Committee in its discretion may, but is not required to, allow the Participant to pay the Option price and tax withholdings (i) by surrendering shares of Common Stock the Participant already owns, (ii) by a cashless exercise through a broker, (iii) by means of a “net settlement” procedure, (iv) by such other medium of payment as the Committee shall authorize or (v) by any combination of the allowable methods of payment set forth herein.

(d) Transferability. Except as provided herein, this Option is nontransferable and, during the Participant’s lifetime, only the Participant may exercise this Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Option may be transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the Participant’s lifetime, may be transferred by the Participant to immediate family members or trusts or other entities on behalf of the Participant and/or immediate family members or for charitable donations. Any such transfer will be permitted only if (i) the Participant does not receive any consideration for the transfer and (ii) the Committee expressly approves the transfer. Any transferee to whom this Option is transferred shall be bound by the same terms and conditions that governed this Option during the time it was held by the Participant (which terms and conditions shall still be read from the perspective of the Participant); provided, however, that the transferee may not transfer this Option except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such transfer shall be evidenced by an appropriate written document that the Participant executes and the Participant shall deliver a copy thereof to the Committee on or prior to the effective date of the transfer. No right or interest of the Participant or any transferee in this Option shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability of the Participant or any transferee.

In that event, this Option may be exercised by the Participant, the Participant’s estate, or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under this Option shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution, for the remainder of the period preceding the Expiration Date or within twelve (12) months after the date the Participant ceases to be employed by or provide services to the Company and its Affiliates as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability, whichever period is shorter.
