 (b) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Stock Option
immediately shall vest in full.

Participant’s employment or service at any time. 
 (b) In the event the Participant exercises any portion of the Stock Option within
two years prior to the Participant’s Termination of Employment for Cause, the Participant agrees that the Corporation shall be entitled to recover from the Participant, at any time within two years following such exercise, and the shall pay

issued (the “Agent”) has received from the Participant (i) a duly executed Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable and (ii) payment for any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld
with respect to any portion of such Stock Option.
