	2.	Employment Requirement. 

  

	 	2.1	General. Except as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, the Option may not be exercised and will not be deemed vested unless the recipient of the

“Employment” for purposes of the Option will include periods of illness or other leaves of absence authorized by an Employer or by law.

vesting upon termination of Participant’s employment with Employer. The Shares as to which the Option is exercisable under Section 2.3 will be those as to which the Option is vested at the time of exercise. 

 

	 	2.5	Adjustments. The Shares, the exercise price for the Shares and other terms of this Option shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 14.2 of
the Plan 

  

	3.	Acceleration of Exercisability. If (i) a Change of Control Date occurs while Participant is employed by Employer, (ii) Participant’s
employment with Employer is terminated by Employer without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason, in each case during a Change of Control Period, or (ii) Participant dies or suffers a Disability, the Option will become immediately and fully
vested and exercisable as to all Shares covered by the Option. In the event Participant’s employment with the Employer is terminated by Employer without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason, in each case during a period other than a Change
of Control Period, then the Option will become immediately vested and exercisable as to 50% of the number of Shares with respect to which the Option had not then vested and will not otherwise become vested during the period set forth in
Section 2.4. To the extent the terms of the Employment Agreement provide for the accelerated vesting of the Option on terms other than as set forth herein, such terms shall be effective and incorporated herein. 

 

	4.	Method of Exercise. 

  

	 	4.1	Exercise of Option. All or any portion of the Option may be exercised, to the extent it has become exercisable pursuant to this Agreement, by delivery of
written notice to Corporation in the attached form stating the number of Shares, form of payment, and proposed date of closing. 

  

	 	4.2	Other Documents. Participant must furnish Corporation, before closing of any exercise of the Option, such other documents or representations as
Corporation may require to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

  

	 	4.3	Payment. The exercise price for the Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option must be paid in full at or before closing by one or a combination of the
following: 

  

	 	(a)	Payment in cash; 

  
 - 2 -

 (b) By delivery (in a form approved by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a
securities broker acceptable to the Committee: 
 (i) To sell Shares subject to the Option and to deliver all or a part of the
sales proceeds to Corporation in payment of all or a part of the exercise price and withholding taxes due; or 
 (ii) To pledge
Shares subject to the Option to the broker as security for a loan and to deliver all or a part of the loan proceeds to Corporation in payment of all or a part of the exercise price and withholding taxes due; or 

(c) Delivery of previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value at least equal to the exercise price. 

 

	 	4.4	Previously Acquired Shares. Delivery of previously acquired Shares surrendered in full or partial payment of the exercise price of all or any portion of
the Option, will be subject to the following conditions:

 (b) The Fair Market Value of the Shares, together with the amount of cash, if any, tendered must equal or exceed the exercise
price of the Option; 
 (c) Any Shares remaining after satisfying payment of the exercise price will be reissued in the same
manner as the Shares tendered; and

fractional Share value not used to satisfy payment of the exercise price. 
  

	5.	Transferability. 

  

	 	5.1	Restriction. 

 (a)
The Option is not transferable by Participant other than by testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during Participant’s lifetime, may be exercised only by Participant or Participant’s guardian or legal
representative;

otherwise, except by testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution, will vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right; and 

  
 - 3 -

 (c) Immediately upon any attempt to assign or transfer the Option, the Option will terminate
and be of no force or effect. 
  

	 	5.2	Exercise in the Event of Death or Disability. Whenever the word “Participant” is used in any provision of this Agreement under circumstances
when the provision should logically be construed to apply to Participant’s guardian, legal representative, executor, administrator, or the person or persons to whom the Option may be transferred by testamentary will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, the word “Participant” will be deemed to include such person or persons. 

  

	6.	Securities Laws. Corporation will not be required to issue any Shares upon exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, until Corporation has taken any
action required to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 or any other then applicable federal or state securities laws. 

  

	7.	Tax Reimbursement. In the event any withholding or similar tax liability is imposed on Corporation in connection with or with respect to the exercise of
the Option or the disposition by Participant of the Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, Participant will pay to Corporation an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax liability or may direct the Corporation to withhold from the Shares
acquired upon exercise Shares having a Fair Market Value as of such date equal to such tax liability. 

  

	8.	Conditions Precedent. Corporation will use its best efforts to obtain any required approvals of the Plan and the Option by any state or federal agency or
authority that Corporation determines has jurisdiction. If Corporation determines that any required approval cannot be obtained, all Awards to Participant will terminate on notice to Participant to that effect. 

 

	9.	Termination for Cause; Competition. 

  

	 	9.1	Annulment of Awards. The grant of the Option is provisional until Participant becomes entitled to a certificate for Shares in settlement of the Option. In
the event the employment of Participant is terminated for Cause, any portion of the Option that is provisional will be annulled as of the date of such termination for Cause. 

 

	 	9.2	 Engaging in Competition With Corporation. If Participant terminates employment with an Employer for any reason whatsoever, and within 12
months after the date of termination Participant materially breaches Section 9(c) of the Employment Agreement, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require Participant to return to Corporation the economic value of any Award that is
realized or obtained (measured at the date of exercise) by Participant at any time during the period beginning on the date that is six months prior to the date of Participant’s termination of

  
 - 4 -

	 	
employment with the Employer through the date of the Committee’s action. 

  

	10.	Successorship. Subject to the restrictions on transferability of the Option set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, this Agreement will be binding
upon and benefit the parties, their successors, and assigns. 

  

	11.	Defined Terms. When used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:
