	Form of Settlement
	Unless otherwise prohibited by the Plan, this Award Document, law or administrative rules established under the Plan, your Options may be exercised and settled in the following ways: 
Buy and Hold - Exercise Options to buy Shares using cash and then hold the Shares; 


Cashless - Exercise Options to buy Shares and sell the acquired Shares at the same time without using cash.  Net proceeds received in cash;

Combination or Other Methods (as may be approved by the Committee).
       
Notwithstanding the forgoing and the terms of the Plan, the Company reserves the right to limit the form of settlement based on your home or host location at the time of exercise.  For example, if you are providing services in certain specified jurisdictions at the time of exercise, you may only exercise vested Options through a cashless exercise.   The Company also reserves the right to further modify the form of settlement of your Award as it deems appropriate to account for the impact of local law and regulations.  For example, the Company may adjust settlement to account for unique limitations regarding the provision of equity outside the United States.      
Regardless of the form of settlement, as required by law, the Company will withhold any applicable federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with any exercise of the Options.  You are responsible for any taxes due upon exercise of the Options.

•     Furnish to the Company such information with respect to the satisfaction of the foregoing as the Committee may reasonably request.
  
In addition, the Committee may require you to enter into such agreements as the Committee considers appropriate.
