Section 6. Exercise. 

(a) Method of Exercise. The vested portion of the Option may be exercised by the Participant in whole or in part by providing notice of
option exercise to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at its corporate headquarters, in a form prescribed by the Committee or by satisfying such other procedures as shall be set forth by the Committee from time to time. Such notice shall specify
the number of Covered Shares that the Participant elects to purchase, and shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for such Covered Shares as further set forth in Section 6(b) below. 

(b) Payment of Exercise Price. Without limitation of Section 8 below, the payment of the Exercise Price shall
be by cash or, subject to limitations imposed by applicable law, by any of the following means unless otherwise determined by the Committee from time to time: (i) by tendering, either actually or by attestation, Shares acceptable to the
Committee and valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise; (ii) by irrevocably authorizing a third party, acceptable to the Committee, to sell Shares acquired upon exercise of the stock option and to remit to the Company no later than
the third business day following exercise of a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire exercise price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise; (iii) by payment through a net exercise such that, without the payment
of any funds, the Participant may exercise the option and receive the net number of Shares equal in value to (A) the number of Shares as to which the option is being exercised, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Fair Market Value (on the date of exercise) less the exercise price, and the denominator of which is such Fair Market Value (the number of net Shares to be received shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares); (iv) by personal,
certified or cashiers’ check; (v) by other property deemed acceptable by the Committee; or (vi) by any combination thereof. 

(c) Restrictions. The Option shall not be exercisable if and to the extent the Company determines that such exercise would violate any
applicable laws or the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity, and shall not be exercisable during any blackout period established by the Company from time to time.

Shares or other amounts under this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be subject to the following: 
 (a) Compliance with Applicable Laws.
Notwithstanding any other term of this Award Agreement or the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any Shares or make any other distribution of benefits under this Award Agreement or the Plan unless such delivery or distribution
complies with all applicable laws and the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity. 
 (b) Certificates Not
Required. To the extent that this Award Agreement and the Plan provide for the issuance of Shares, such issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law
or the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity. 
 Section 8.
Withholding. The exercise of the Option, and the Company’s obligation to issue Shares upon exercise, is subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, such withholding
obligations may be satisfied (a) through cash payment by the Participant, (b) through the surrender of Shares that the Participant already owns or (c) through the surrender of Shares to which the Participant is otherwise entitled
under the Plan; provided, however, that except as otherwise specifically provided by the Committee, such Shares under clause (c) may not be used to satisfy more than the maximum individual statutory tax rate for each applicable
tax jurisdiction. 
 Section 9. Non-Transferability of
Option. The Option, or any portion thereof, is not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Option shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the Participant in any way whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment
or similar process. Any attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void and without
effect. 
 Section 10. Heirs and Successors. This Award Agreement shall be binding upon, and
inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business. If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the Participant under
this Award Agreement have not been settled or distributed at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be settled for and such benefits shall be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of this
Award Agreement and the Plan. The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Committee in such form as the Committee may require. The
Participant’s designation of beneficiary may be amended or revoked from time to time by the Participant in accordance with any procedures established by the Committee. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated
Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any benefits that would have been provided to the Participant shall be provided to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated
Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the provision of the Designated Beneficiary’s benefits under this Award Agreement, then any benefits that would have been provided to the Designated Beneficiary shall be provided to the legal
representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.

corporate records of the Company shall control. 
 Section 13. Not an Employment Contract.
Neither the Option nor this Award Agreement shall confer on the Participant any rights with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or a Subsidiary, nor shall they interfere in any way with any right the Company or a
Subsidiary may otherwise have to terminate or modify the terms of the Participant’s employment or other service at any time.

Section 17. Validity. If any provision of this Award Agreement is determined to be illegal or
invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.
