(b) Method of Exercise.
(i)     The Participant may exercise the Vested Portion or any part thereof by
giving an electronic written notice the website through which the Plan is
administered (the “Notice of Exercise”). Such Notice of Exercise shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Option Price for the Shares to

(e.g., by check, draft, money order, cashier's check or wire transfer payable to
the Company) or any other form of payment permitted by the Committee in
accordance with Section 6.5 of the Plan. The Participant shall not have any
rights to dividends, voting rights or other rights of a stockholder with respect

Exercise of the Option, paid the Option Price in full for such Shares, become
the record holder of such Shares/been issued certificates in the Participant's
name representing such Shares and, if applicable, satisfied any other conditions
imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan. In the event of the Participant's
death, the Vested Portion shall be exercisable by the legatees, personal
representatives or distributes of the Participant, subject to Section 8 of this
Award Agreement during the period(s) set forth in this Section 5. Any heir or
legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms
and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.
(ii)     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, this Award Agreement
or the Employment Agreement to the contrary, the Option may not be exercised, in
whole or in part, prior to the completion of any registration or qualification
of the Option or the Shares under applicable securities or other laws, or under
any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national securities
exchange that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine to be
necessary or advisable.
(iii)     Upon the Company's determination that the Option has been validly
exercised as to any of the Shares, the Company shall issue certificates in the
Participant's name for such Shares.
6. No Right to Continued Service. The granting of the Option evidenced hereby
and this Award Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company, any
Subsidiary or any Affiliate to continue the employment or service of the
Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company, any
Subsidiary or any Affiliate may have to terminate the employment or service of
such Participant.
7. Securities Laws/Legend on Certificates. The issuance and delivery of Shares

limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the
regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the
Company's securities may then be traded. If the Company deems it necessary to
ensure that the issuance of securities under the Plan is not required to be
registered under any applicable securities laws, the Participant shall deliver
to the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations,
warranties and covenants, as reasonably requested by the Company, which
satisfies such requirements. Any certificates representing the Shares shall be
subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may
deem reasonably advisable, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be

distribution) and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment,
sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the
Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. No transfer shall be permitted for value
or consideration. Any permitted transfer of the Option to heirs or legatees of
the Participant shall not be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee

transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and
conditions hereof.
