The Exercise Notice shall include                payment in cash for an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied                by                the number of shares of Common Stock specified in such Exercise Notice                or                any method otherwise approved by the Board.  In addition, the                Participant shall be responsible for the payment of applicable withholding                and other taxes in cash (or shares of Common Stock if approved by                the                Board) that may become due as a result of the exercise of such                Option.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company                will permit each Participant (and any Permitted Transferee) to exercise                all or any portion of an Option through cashless net-physical settlement                (to satisfy both the exercise price and any applicable withholding                taxes).  Cashless net-physical settlement exercise shall be                based on Fair Market Value determined as set forth herein.  The                partial exercise of an Option shall not cause the expiration, termination                or cancellation of the remaining portion of the                Option. |
