reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this
Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. The Board shall have final authority
to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations under
them, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon the Optionee and his/her legal
representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

schedule set forth above.

     (d) Method of Exercise. The Option may be exercised only by written notice in such form as
the Company may adopt from time to time, delivered in person or by mail in accordance with Section
3(a) and accompanied by payment therefor or pursuant to such other procedure as the Company may
adopt from time to time The purchase price of the shares of Stock shall be paid to the Company (i)

less than six months following the date of their purchase and have a total Fair Market Value less
than or equal to the aggregate exercise price, (iii) if outside a Blackout Period, to the extent
permitted by law, by a “broker cashless exercise” procedure approved by the Board, or (iv) by a
combination of the foregoing methods. If requested by the Board, the Optionee shall deliver this
Agreement evidencing the Option to the Secretary of the Company who shall endorse thereon a
notation of such exercise and return such Agreement to the Optionee. A minimum of 100 shares of
Stock must be purchased upon the exercise of the Option unless a lesser number of shares of Stock
so purchased constitute the total number of shares of Stock then purchasable under the Option.

the Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate (the “Employment Termination
Date”), that portion of the Option that is not then exercisable shall immediately terminate and
(ii) that portion of the Option that is exercisable on the Employment Termination Date shall remain
exercisable and shall terminate as follows:

Termination of Service, and shall thereafter terminate;

     (ii) If the Optionee’s Termination of Service is effected by the Company or an
Affiliate for Cause (as defined below), the Option shall terminate on the date of the

the extent exercisable on the Employment Termination Date) shall be
exercisable for a period of 60 days following such Termination of Service, and shall
thereafter terminate; and

2

 

     (iv) If the Optionee’s Termination of Service is for any other reason, the Option (to
the extent exercisable on the Employment Termination Date) shall be exercisable for a
period of 60 days following such Termination of Service, and shall thereafter terminate.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Termination of Service” shall mean the later of (i) the Employment
Termination Date or (ii) termination of Optionee’s service as a director of the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means (i) any act of fraud, gross negligence, or dishonesty
in the performance of the Optionee’s duties or the willful failure by the Optionee to perform
Optionee’s duties; (ii) engaging in any action with the intention of causing harm or damage to any
of the Company’s operations; (iii) conviction of a felony; or (iv) obtaining personal gain from a
transaction in which the Optionee has a conflict of interest with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision in this Section 2(e) shall extend the exercise period
of an Option beyond its original term set forth in Section 2(b).

     (f) Nontransferability. The Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution.

     (g) Rights as a Stockholder. The Optionee shall not be deemed for any purpose to be the owner
of any shares of Stock subject to the Option unless, until and to the extent that (i) the Option
shall have been exercised pursuant to its terms, (ii) the Company shall have issued and delivered
to the Optionee the shares of Stock for which the Option shall have been exercised, and (iii) the
Optionee’s name shall have been entered as a stockholder of record with respect to such shares of
Stock on the books of the Company.

     (h) Income Taxes. The Company may, in its discretion, require that the Optionee pay to the
Company at or after (as determined by the Board) the time of exercise of any portion of the Option
any such additional amount as the Company deems necessary to satisfy its liability to withhold
federal, state or local income tax or any other taxes incurred by reason of the exercise or the
transfer of shares of Stock thereupon. Such taxes may be paid to the Company (i) in cash or its
equivalent, (ii) if outside of a Blackout Period, by tendering to the Company shares of Stock
already owned by the Optionee having a Fair Market Value less than or equal to the amount of such
taxes, (iii) if outside a Blackout Period, by electing to have the Company withhold a portion of
the shares of Stock to be received upon exercise of such Option having a Fair Market Value less
than or equal to the amount of such taxes, (iv) if outside a Blackout Period, to the extent
permitted by law, by a “broker cashless exercise” procedure approved by the Board, or (v) by a
combination of the foregoing methods.
