to exercise has been made. Such notice shall be signed by Optionee, or if the
Option is exercised by a person or persons other than Optionee because of
Optionee’s death, such notice must be signed by such other person or persons and
shall be accompanied by proof acceptable to the Committee of the legal right of
such person or persons to exercise the Option.

7.Term of Option. The Option granted under this Notice expires, unless sooner
terminated, 10 years from the Grant Date, through and including the normal close
of business of the Company on the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date (the
“Expiration Date”).

8.Termination of Service.
(a)If Optionee terminates employment for any reason other than death or
Disability, the Option shall lapse on the earlier of: (i) the Expiration Date;
or (ii) 90 days after the date Optionee terminates employment. The Option may be
exercised following Optionee’s termination of employment only if the Option was
exercisable by Optionee immediately prior to his or her termination of
employment. In no event shall the Option be exercisable after the Expiration
Date.
(b)If Optionee terminates employment by reason of death or Disability, the
Option shall lapse on the earlier of: (i) the Expiration Date; or (ii) 12 months
after the date Optionee terminates employment due to death or Disability. The
Option may be exercised following the death or Disability of Optionee only if
the Option was exercisable by Optionee immediately prior to his or her death or
Disability. In no event shall the Option be exercisable after the Expiration
Date.
(c)If Optionee’s employment is terminated for Cause, such termination shall
result in the immediate termination and cancellation of the Option which means
that the Option shall not be exercisable by Optionee regardless of whether the
Option is already vested. For purposes of this Notice, the term “Cause” means:
(i) Optionee’s willful and continued failure substantially to perform his or her
duties with the Company or a Subsidiary after written warnings identifying the
lack of substantial performance are delivered to Optionee to identify the manner
in which the Company or a Subsidiary believes that Optionee has not
substantially performed his or her duties; (ii) Optionee’s willful engaging in
illegal conduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or
any Subsidiary; (iii) Optionee’s commission of a felony; (iv) Optionee’s
material breach of a fiduciary duty owed to the Company or any Subsidiary; (v)
Optionee’s intentional, unauthorized disclosure to any person of confidential
information or trade secrets of a material nature relating to the business of
the Company or any Subsidiary; (vi) Optionee’s material breach of any employment
agreement or any other agreement previously entered into with the Company or any
Subsidiary; or (vii) Optionee’s engaging in any conduct that the Company’s or a
Subsidiary’s written rules, regulations, or policies specify as constituting
grounds for discharge.

9.Change in Control. Subject to Section 16.5 of the Plan, if a Change in Control
occurs, all restrictions on the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall
lapse and the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable immediately
before or simultaneously with the closing of the transaction that will result in
the Change in Control and all necessary steps shall be taken to allow any Stock
issued in connection with the exercise of the Option to participate in the
transaction that result in the Change in Control.
