Method of Exercise. The Option may be exercised only by:

(i)
delivery to the designated employee or agent of the Company of a written,
electronic, or telephonic notice of exercise, specifying the number of Shares
with respect to which the Option is then being exercised, and payment of the
full Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased in cash or with other Shares
held by the Director having a then Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise

(ii)
delivery of a properly-executed exercise notice together with a copy of
irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the
amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Exercise Price;

any other manner approved by the Committee from time to time.

Each method of exercise requires payment of the full amount of any federal,
state, local or other applicable taxes which the Company believes are required
to be withheld and paid with respect to such exercise, as described below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may require payment in a particular
or different method of exercise than those methods specified in Section
4(b)(i)-(iii), may allow the Director to exercise the Option only by means of a
cashless exercise (either a cashless “sell all” exercise or a cashless
“sell-to-cover” exercise) as it shall determine in its sole discretion, or may
require the Director to sell any Shares the Director acquired under the

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

Program immediately or within a specified period following the Director’s
Termination (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company the authority
to issue sales instructions on the Director’s behalf).
(c)
Payment of Taxes. To the extent permitted under applicable law and by the
Company, the Director may satisfy any federal, state, local or other applicable
taxes arising from any transaction related to the exercise of the Option
pursuant to this Agreement by:

having the Company withhold Shares from the Option exercised to satisfy the
applicable withholding tax;

extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation Code Section
409A) from any other compensation or other amount owing to the Director such
amount as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all such tax
and withholding obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Director is subject to Section 16(b) of
the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold using the method described in
subsection 4(c)(ii) above unless the use of such withholding method is
problematic under applicable laws or has materially adverse accounting
consequences, in which case the Committee shall determine which of the other
methods described in this subsection 4(c) or in the Program shall be used to
satisfy the applicable withholding obligations.
5.
No Right to Continued Service. This Agreement and the Director’s participation
in the Program is not and shall not be interpreted to:

(a)
form a contractual or other relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

(b)
confer upon the Director any right to continue in the service of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries; or

(c)
interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the
Director’s service at any time.

6.
No Contract as of Right. The grant of an Option under the Program does not
create any contractual or other right to receive additional Options or other
Program Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or
enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the Director.
Future Option grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the
sole discretion of the Committee.

parties, and the Company will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of

means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for
which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as
set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Director’s country of
residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of

the Company) to the Company that the Company may deem necessary to obtain from
the Director for the purpose of administering his or her participation in the
Program in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Director’s country,
either now or in the future. The Director understands and agrees that he or she
will not be able to participate in the Program if the Director fails to provide
any such requested consent or agreement.

8.
No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or
financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the
Option, the Director’s participation in the Program or the Director’s
acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Director is hereby advised to

required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending
compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws
(including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and
compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the
Company’s Shares are listed. If the Director relocates to another country, the
Company may establish special or alternate terms and conditions as necessary or
advisable to comply with local laws, rules or regulations, to facilitate the
operation and administration of the Option and the Program and/or to accommodate
the Director's relocation.

this Agreement fails to comply with that section’s requirements, the Company
may, at the Company’s sole discretion, and without the Director’s consent, amend

any tax, interest, or penalties the Director may owe as a result of compensation
paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no
obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Director from the obligation to
pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

the Company, the Director, the Director’s Representative, and the person or
persons to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or the laws of
descent or distribution.

14.
Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable
and enforceable to the extent permitted by law. To the extent a court or
tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this
Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its
sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to
the full extent permitted under local law.
