otherwise. 
 16. Entire Agreement. This Award Agreement (including the Plan which is incorporated herein by reference and all
additional riders incorporated by Section 12 above) sets forth all of the promises, agreements, conditions, and understandings, between the parties hereto with respect to the Nonqualified Stock Option and the Shares, and there are no promises,
agreements, conditions, understandings, warranties or representations, oral or written, express or implied, between them with respect to the Nonqualified Stock Option or the shares other than as set forth therein or herein. This Award Agreement

authority to issue or transfer the Common Stock of the Company in satisfaction of this Nonqualified Stock Option if counsel for the Company deems such authorization necessary for the lawful issuance or transfer of any such Shares. 
 (c) No shares acquired by exercise of this Nonqualified Stock Option shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in violation of any federal or state

“Plan”) (Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them under the Plan). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows: 
 1. Grant of Nonqualified
Stock Option. The Company hereby grants to the Eligible Participant a nonqualified stock option (the “Nonqualified Stock Option”) to purchase              shares of

Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable pursuant to the foregoing schedule only if the Eligible Participant is employed by the Company on the date specified. 
 3. Method of Exercise. The Nonqualified Stock Option shall be exercised by written notice directed to the Committee, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
As soon as practicable following receipt of such notice from the Eligible Participant, the Committee shall notify the Eligible Participant of the total of sums required pursuant to Section 1 above and Section 4 below. Said payment shall be
