death or incapacity of the grantee).

and become nonforfeitable with respect to 100% of the total number of shares subject to the Option (subject to adjustment under Section 7.2 of the Plan) on the first anniversary of the date the Option is granted. The Option may be exercised
only to the extent the Option is vested and exercisable.

following a termination of services as provided in Section 4 below or under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Award Agreement or the Plan constitutes a continued service commitment by the Corporation or interferes with the right of the
Corporation to increase or decrease your compensation from the rate in existence at any time.
