TO STOCK OPTION GRANT NOTICE
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
1.    General.
    1.1    Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
1.2     Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The Option subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.
2.    Grant.
    2.1     Grant of Option. In consideration of Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company grants to Participant the Option, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustments as provided in Article VIII of the Plan. The Option is a nonqualified stock option, and shall not be treated as an “incentive stock option” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code).
2.2     Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the Option by the Company, Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or a Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.
2.3    Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Option shall be the amount per Share set forth in the Stock Option Grant Notice, subject to adjustment as provided in Article VIII of the Plan (the “Exercise Price”). Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made in accordance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement.
3.3    Term of Option. The Option shall terminate on the Expiration Date as specified in the Stock Option Grant Notice, but shall be subject to earlier termination as provided herein or in the Plan. Upon termination of Participant’s employment or service for any reason, any vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for 90 days thereafter, and any unvested portion of the Option shall be forfeited.
3.    Vesting, Exercise, Restrictions, Etc.
    3.1     Vesting. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Option shall vest and become exercisable at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice; provided, however, no portion of the Option that has not become vested at the date of Participant’s termination of employment or service for any reason, with or without cause (including, but not limited to, death, Disability or Retirement), shall thereafter become vested, except as may be otherwise provided by the Committee or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and Participant. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Change of
1




Control, the treatment of the Option will be governed by any applicable provisions of Section 8.2 of the Plan.
    3.2    Method of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option, to the extent vested and exercisable, may be exercised, in whole or in part, by written notice to the Company or its designee, in substantially the form of attached hereto (or in such other form acceptable to the Company, which may include electronic notice). Such notice shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be signed by the person exercising the Option (which signature may be provided electronically in a form acceptable to the Company). Payment of the Exercise Price for such Shares shall be made in cash or its equivalent, or in such other manner as may be approved by the Committee pursuant to the Plan. The Company shall deliver such Shares as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received, provided, however, that (a) no fractional Shares shall be issued pursuant to this Option, and (b) the Company may delay issuance of such Shares until completion of any action or obtaining of any consent, which the Company deems necessary under any Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, state securities or “blue sky” laws). The Shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the person so exercising the Option and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written order of the person exercising the Option. In the event the Option shall be exercised, by any person other than Participant, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the Option. All Shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
3.3    Restrictions. The Option shall not be transferable by Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, provided that the Company may permit Participant to designate a beneficiary to exercise any vested portion of the Option in the event of Participant’s death. Except as provided above in this paragraph, the Option shall be exercisable, during Participant’s lifetime, only by Participant and shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option or of any rights granted hereunder contrary to the provisions of this Section 3.3, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon the Option shall be null and void.
3.4     Tax Withholding. Participant acknowledges and agrees that any income or other taxes due from Participant with respect to the Option (upon exercise of the Option, the sale of Shares issued pursuant to the Option or otherwise) shall be Participant’s responsibility. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that to the extent the Company or any Subsidiary is required to withhold any federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes in connection with the exercise of the Option, then the Company or Subsidiary (as applicable) shall retain a number of Shares otherwise deliverable hereunder with a value equal to the required withholding (based on the fair market value of the Shares on the applicable date); provided that in no event shall the value of the Shares retained exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld or such other amount that will not result in a negative accounting impact. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) to the extent permitted by the Committee, Participant may elect, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Company from time to time, to pay or provide for payment of the required tax withholding, and (b) in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary is required to withhold taxes at any time other than upon exercise of the Option, the Company may withhold applicable taxes from other compensation payable to Participant or require Participant to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to provide for such tax withholding.
3.5     Rights as Stockholder. Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to this Agreement until exercise of the Option and registration of the Shares in the Company’s share register in the name of Participant.

In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Company’s common stock contemplated by the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Shares), the Committee shall make such adjustments as the Committee deems appropriate to the Option in order to preserve the benefits intended to be made available to Participant under this Agreement. Participant acknowledges that the Option is subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
