--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Section 6.     Procedure for Exercise.

 

(a)     Notice of Exercise. The Option may be exercised, in whole or in part,
and whole Option Shares may be purchased, at any time during the term hereof by
notice to the Company in the form required by the Committee, together with
payment of the aggregate Option Price therefore and any applicable withholding
taxes.

 

(b)     Payment of Option Price. Payment of the Option Price shall be made: (i)
in cash or by cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee, (ii) by payment in
shares of Common Stock that have been held by the Optionee for at least six
months (or such other period as the Committee may deem appropriate for purposes
of applicable accounting rules), valued at the Fair Market Value of such shares
on the date of exercise, (iii) through an open-market, broker-assisted
transaction, or (iv) by a combination of the foregoing methods. In addition and
at the time of exercise, if and to the extent required by applicable law, the
Optionee shall remit to the Company under procedures specified by the Company
all required Federal, state and local withholding tax amounts in any manner as
permitted above for payment of the Option Price.

 

(c)      Delivery of Stock Certificates Upon Exercise. Upon the exercise of the
Option, the Company shall mail or deliver to the Optionee (or beneficiary in the
case of exercise by a beneficiary), as promptly as practicable, a stock
certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock then
purchased, and will pay all stamp taxes payable in connection therewith.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any
such certificate or certificates upon exercise of the Option until the Company
shall have received such assurances from its counsel as the Company may
reasonably request that the exercise of the Option and the issuance of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to such exercise will not violate the Securities Act of
1933 (the “Act”), as amended (as then in effect or any similar statute then in
effect), or the securities laws of any state applicable to such exercise,
issuance or transfer. Such assurances may include (but need not be limited to)
opinions of counsel to the Company, covenants by the holder or transferee to
observe such Act and laws, and the placement of a legend on such certificate or
certificates restricting subsequent transfers or sales except in compliance with
such Act and laws.

 

Section 7.    Investment Representation. Upon the exercise of the Option at a
time when there is not in effect a registration statement under the Act relating
to the shares of Common Stock, by virtue of such exercise, the Optionee shall be
deemed to represent and warrant to the Company that the shares of Common Stock
shall be acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution
thereof, and not with any present intention of distributing the same, and the
Optionee shall provide the Company with such further representations and
warranties as the Company may require in order to ensure compliance with
applicable Federal and state securities, blue sky and other laws. No shares of
Common Stock shall be acquired unless and until the Company and/or the Optionee
shall have complied with all applicable Federal or state registration, listing
and/or qualification requirements and all other requirements of law or of any
regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, unless the Committee has received
evidence satisfactory to it that the Optionee may acquire such shares pursuant
to an exemption from registration under the applicable securities laws. Any
determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding and
conclusive. The Company reserves the right to legend any certificate for shares
of Common Stock, conditioning sales of such shares upon compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.

 

Section 8.     Limitation of Rights. The Optionee shall not have any privileges
of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Option Shares, including
without limitation any right to vote such Option Shares or to receive dividends
or other distributions in respect thereof, until the date of the issuance to the
Optionee of a stock certificate evidencing the Common Stock. Nothing in this
Agreement or the Option shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continued
employment with the Company or to interfere in any way with the right of the
Company to terminate the Optionee’s employment at any time.

Section 10.   Transfer Restrictions. The Option may not be transferred, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Optionee,

approval of the Committee at the time of proposed transfer, transfer all or part
of the Option to or for the benefit of the Optionee’s “family members” (as
defined in a manner consistent with the rules applicable to registration
statements on Form S-8 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933). Subsequent
transfers of the Option shall be prohibited other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution upon the death of the transferee. In the event that an
Optionee becomes legally incapacitated, the Option shall be exercisable by the

dies, the Option shall thereafter be exercisable by the Optionee’s beneficiary
as designated by the Optionee in the manner prescribed by the Committee or, in
the absence of an authorized beneficiary designation, by the legatee of such
Option under the Optionee’s will, or by the Optionee’s estate in accordance with
the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution, in each case in the
same manner and to the same extent that the Option was exercisable by the
Optionee on the date of the Optionee’s death. The Option shall not be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer,
pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the
provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process
upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect.

the Company in writing and such notice shall be deemed duly given only upon

or ambiguity between any term or provision contained herein and a term or
provision of the Plan, the Plan will govern and prevail. The construction of and
decisions under the Plan are vested in the Committee, whose determinations shall
be final, conclusive and binding upon the Optionee.
