PURCHASE OF SHARES

 

  4.1 Option Price

The Option Price per share of the Class A Common Stock sold to Participants
hereunder shall be 85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the Offering
Date.

 

  4.2 Purchase of Shares

(a) On each Offering Date on which he or she is employed, each Participant will
automatically and without any action on his or her part be deemed to have
exercised his or her option to purchase at the Option Price the largest number
of whole shares of Class A Common Stock which can be purchased with the amount
in the Participant’s Plan Account. The balance, if any, remaining in the
Participant’s Plan Account (after exercise of his or her option) as of an
Offering Date shall, at the election of the Company, be either carried forward
to the next Option Period or refunded.

(b) As soon as practicable following each Offering Date, the Company, pursuant
to each Participant’s instructions, will electronically deliver to the
Participant’s designated brokerage account such number of shares purchased
pursuant to Section 4.2(a) above. Thereafter, if requested by the Participant,
the Company will physically deliver to the Participant a certificate issued in
his or her name for such number of shares; or transfer such shares to another
brokerage account. In the event the Company is required to obtain from any
commission or agency authority to issue and deliver the shares, either
physically or electronically, the Company will seek to obtain such authority.
Inability of the Company to obtain from any such commission or agency authority
which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and
delivery of the shares, either physical or electronic, shall relieve the Company
from liability to any Participant except to refund to him or her the amount
withheld.

 

  4.3 Limitations on Purchase

No Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan which permits his or her
rights to purchase Class A Common Stock under the Plan or any other employee
stock purchase plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to accrue at a
rate which exceeds $25,000 (as measured by the Fair Market Value of such Class A
Common Stock at the time the option is granted) for each calendar year such
option is outstanding.

 

  4.4 Transferability of Rights

An option granted under the Plan shall not be transferable and is exercisable
only by the Participant. No option or interest or right therein or part thereof
shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or
his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by
alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means
whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by
judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable
proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempt at disposition thereof shall
be null and void and of no effect.

liquidation or dissolution unless the Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
provide for the assumption or substitution of such options in a manner complying
with Section 424(a) of the Code.

 

  5.4 Insufficient Shares

If the aggregate funds available for the purchase of Class A Common Stock on any
Offering Date would cause an issuance of shares in excess of the number provided

number of shares that would otherwise be purchased by each Participant in order
to eliminate such excess, and (b) the Plan shall automatically terminate

and privileges of a stockholder when, but not until, the shares have been issued
and either physically or electronically delivered, to him or her, following
exercise of his or her option.
