portion of the Option by delivering to the Company at its principal office a written notice of exercise in the form attached as Exhibit A or any other form that the Committee may permit (such notice, a “Notice of Exercise”).
The Notice of Exercise will be signed by the person exercising the Option. In the event that the Option is being exercised by the Participant’s representative, the Notice of Exercise will be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Committee)
of the representative’s right to exercise the Option. The Participant or the Participant’s representative will deliver to the Committee, at the time of giving the Notice of Exercise, payment in a form permissible under Section 7 for
the full amount of the Purchase Price and applicable withholding taxes as provided below. 

  

	 	(b)	Issuance of Common Stock. After satisfying all requirements with respect to the exercise of the Option, the Committee will cause to be issued the Shares as to which the Option has been exercised (or, in the
Committee’s discretion, in un-certificated form, upon the books of the Company’s transfer agent), registered in the name of the person exercising the Option (or in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as
joint tenants with right of survivorship). Neither the Company nor the Committee will be liable to the Participant or any other Person for damages relating to any delays in issuing the Shares or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the Shares.


  

	 	(c)	Withholding Requirements. The Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold automatically from any Shares deliverable under this Agreement, or to require the Participant or the

as a result of this Agreement (collectively, “Withheld Taxes”); provided that any obligations to pay Withheld Taxes may be satisfied in the manner in which the Purchase Price is permitted to be paid under Section 7 or any other

	7.	Payment for Shares. The “Purchase Price” will be the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. All or part of the Purchase
Price and any Withheld Taxes may be paid as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	Cash or Check. In cash or by bank certified check. 

  

	 	(b)	Brokered Cashless Exercise. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise provided by the Committee, from the proceeds of a sale through a broker on the date of exercise of some or all of the
Shares to which the exercise relates. In that case, the Participant will provide the Company a properly executed Notice of Exercise, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale
proceeds to pay the aggregate purchase price or Withheld Taxes, as applicable. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enter into agreements or coordinate procedures with one or more brokerage firms.


  

	 	(c)	Net Exercise. By reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option by the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Purchase Price or Withheld Taxes,
as applicable. 

  

	 	(d)	Surrender of Stock. In each instance, at the sole discretion of the Committee, by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares that are already owned by the Participant free and clear of any restriction
or limitation, unless the Committee specifically agrees to accept such Shares subject to such restriction or limitation. Such Shares will be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and will be valued by the Company at their Fair Market
Value on the date of the applicable exercise of the Option, or to the extent applicable, on the date the Withheld Taxes is to be determined. The Participant will not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Purchase Price
(or Withheld Taxes) if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to this Option for financial reporting purposes that otherwise would not have occurred. 


 

	8.	Adjustment to Option. In the event of any change with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock contemplated by Section 4.5 of the Plan, the Option may be adjusted in accordance with
Section 4.5 of the Plan. 

  

	9.	Miscellaneous Provisions 

  

	 	(a)	 Securities Laws Requirements. No Shares will be issued or transferred pursuant to this Agreement unless and until all then applicable
requirements imposed by Federal and state securities and other laws, rules and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, and by any exchanges upon which the Shares may be listed, have been fully met. As a condition precedent to
the issuance of Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may require the Participant to take any reasonable action to meet those requirements. The Committee may impose such conditions on any Shares issuable pursuant to this

regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such shares are listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and any agreement with, or policy of, the Company or the Committee to which
the Participant is a party or subject, and the Committee may cause orders or designations to be placed upon the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
