Fair Market Value equal to the Option price (or portion thereof to be so paid) as of the date of the Option’s exercise.

8.Regulation by the Committee.  This Agreement and the Option shall be subject to the administrative procedures and rules as the Committee shall adopt.

14.Optionee Acknowledgment.  Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of shares pursuant to this Option Agreement is earned only by continuing service with the Company.

Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof.  Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Option in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option and fully understands all provisions of the Option.  By executing this Agreement, the Optionee hereby agrees to be bound by all of the terms of both the Plan and this Agreement.
