hereby grants to the Optionee, as of the Grant Date an option (the “Option”),
pursuant to the Plan, to purchase the Option Shares at the Per Share Exercise
Price, purchasable as set forth in and subject to the terms and conditions of
this Option and the Plan. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term

Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or
replaced from time to time (the “Code”).

 

Section 2. Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Option shall constitute and be
treated at all times by the Optionee and the Company as a "non-qualified stock

not be treated as an "incentive stock option" as defined under Section 422(b) of
the Code.

 

Section 3. Exercise of Option and Provisions for Termination; Vesting Schedule.
Subject to the terms set forth herein, the Option shall vest and become
exercisable eight (8) days after the date of Optionee's execution of the
Severance Agreement between Company and Optionee (the "Start Date"). Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Option may be exercised at any time
during the period (the “Exercise Period”) commencing on the Start Date and
terminating on June 4, 2018 (the “Expiration Date”). This Option may not be
exercised at any time on or after the Expiration Date.

 

Section 4. Exercise Procedure. Subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement and the Plan, this Option shall be exercised by the Optionee’s
delivery of written notice of exercise to the General Counsel of the Company,
specifying the number of Option Shares to be purchased and the purchase price to
be paid therefor (the “Purchase Price”). Such notice must be signed and dated
and be accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price in accordance with
Section 4 of this Agreement. Such exercise shall be effective upon receipt by
the General Counsel of the Company of such written notice together with the
Purchase Price. The Optionee may purchase less than the number of Shares covered
hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this Option may be for any
fractional Share.

 

Section 5. Payment of Purchase Price. Payment of the Purchase Price for the
Shares purchased upon the exercise of this Option shall be made by delivery to
the Company of one or some combination of the following items of consideration
with a value on the date of exercise equal to the Purchase Price of the subject
Shares:

 

a. cash;

 

b. a certified check or bank check; or

 

c. a cash equivalent instrument that is reasonably acceptable to the Company.

 

Section 6. Delivery of Option Shares: Compliance with Securities Law, Etc.

 

a. General. The Company shall, upon payment of the option price for the number
of Option Shares purchased and paid for, make prompt delivery of such Option
Shares to the Optionee, provided that if any law or regulation require the
Company to take any action with respect to such Option Shares before the
issuance thereof, then the date of delivery of such Option Shares shall be
extended for the period necessary to complete such action.

 

b. Listing Qualifications, Securities Law Compliance, Etc. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no shares of Common Stock purchased
upon exercise of the Option, and no certificate representing such shares, shall
be issued or delivered if (a) such shares have not been admitted to listing upon
official notice of issuance on each stock exchange, if any, upon which shares of
that class are then listed, or (b) in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
such issuance or delivery would (i) cause the Company to be in violation of or
to incur liability under any federal, state or other securities law, or any
other requirement of law or any requirement of any stock exchange regulations or
listing agreement to which the Company is a party, or of any administrative or
regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company or (ii) require
registration (apart from any registrations as have been theretofore completed by

or similar law.

Section 7. Rights as a Shareholder. The Optionee shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any Option Shares which may be purchased by exercise
of this Option (including, without limitation, any rights to receive dividends
or non-cash distributions with respect to such Option Shares) unless and until a
certificate representing such Option Shares is duly issued and delivered to the
Optionee. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued.

 

Section 8. Adjustment Provisions.

 

a. General. If, through or as a result of any consolidation of shares of Common
Stock, merger or consolidation of the Company or its Subsidiaries or sale or
other disposition by the Company or its Subsidiaries of all or a portion of its
assets, any other change in the Company's or its Subsidiaries' corporate
structure, or any distribution to shareholders other than a cash dividend
results in the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any securities exchanged
therefor or received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or
class of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or for
shares of Common Stock or other securities of any other Company; or new,
different or additional shares or other securities of the Company or of any
other Company being received by the holders of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the Optionee shall, with respect to this Option or any unexercised
portion hereof, be entitled to the rights and benefits, and be subject to the
limitations, set forth in the Plan.

 

b. Board Authority to Make Adjustments. Any adjustments under this Section 9
will be made by the Board of Directors and/or the Compensation Committee, whose
determination as to what adjustments, if any, will be made and the extent
thereof will be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional Shares will be
issued pursuant to this Option on account of any such adjustments.

upon the exercise of this Option shall be subject to the Optionee’s satisfaction
of all applicable, federal, state and local income and other tax withholding
requirements.

 

Section 10. Representations. The Optionee represents, warrants and covenants
that:

 

a. Any Option Shares purchased upon the exercise of this Option shall be

violation of the Securities Act, or any rule or regulation under the Securities
Act.

Shares, the exercise, release or other disposal of the Option and purchase of
Option Shares hereunder, and the subsequent sale or other disposition of any
Option Shares acquired hereunder. In addition, the Optionee understands that the
Company may be required to pay, or account for taxes in respect of any
compensation income, or other income or gain realized by the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option granted hereunder. To the extent that the Company is
required to pay, account for or withhold any such taxes, then, unless both the
Optionee and the Compensation Committee have otherwise agreed upon alternate
arrangements, the Optionee hereby agrees that the Company may deduct from any
payments of any kind otherwise due to the Optionee an amount equal to the total
taxes required to be so paid, accounted for or withheld (as permitted by law),
or if such payments are inadequate to satisfy such taxes, or if no such payments
are due or to become due to the Optionee, then the Optionee agrees to provide
the Company with cash funds or make other arrangements satisfactory to the
Company regarding such payment. It is understood that all matters with respect
to the total amount of taxes to be withheld in respect of any such compensation
income shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
