Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice.

1. Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, this Option will become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as provided in the Grant Notice.

2. Exercise of the Option.

2.1 Method of Exercise. You may exercise the vested portion of this Option at any time prior to the expiration of the Option by delivering a notice of exercise in such form as may be designated by the Company from time to time together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours and prior to the expiration of the Option, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

2.2 Method of Payment. Payment of the exercise price may be by: (a) cash (or check); [(b) delivery of Stock already owned by you for all or part of the Option price, provided the fair market value (determined as set forth in the Plan) of such Stock being delivered is equal on the date of exercise to the Option price, or such portion thereof as you are authorized to pay by delivery of such Stock;] [(c) the surrender of Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option, provided the fair market value (determined as set forth in the Plan) of such Shares is equal on the date of exercise to the Option price, or such portion thereof as you are authorized to pay by surrender of such Stock;] [(d) cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to you or waiver of compensation due or accrued to you for services rendered;] [(e) if and so long as the Shares are registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and to the extent permitted by law, delivery of a properly executed exercise agreement or notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a brokerage firm designated or approved by the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate amount of proceeds to pay the option exercise price and any withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board;] or (f) a combination of the above methods, as the Company may designate from time to time.

2.3 Tax Withholding.

2.4 Responsibility for Exercise. You are responsible for taking any and all actions as may be required to exercise this Option in a timely manner and for properly executing any such documents as may be required for exercise in accordance with such rules and procedures as may be established from time to time. By signing this Agreement you acknowledge that information regarding the procedures and requirements for this exercise of the Option is available to you on request. The Company shall have no duty or obligation to notify you of the expiration date of this Option.

2.5 Special Tax Consequences.  If you have been granted an Incentive Stock Option, you acknowledge that, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of stock with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code), including the Option, are exercisable for the first time by you during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other incentive stock option plans of the Company and any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated as not qualifying under Section 422 of the Code but rather shall be taxed as non-qualified options.  You further acknowledge that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking options into account in the order in which they were granted.  For purposes of these rules, the fair market value of stock shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to such stock is granted.

3. Securities Law Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Option may not be exercised unless the Stock issuable upon exercise of this Option is then registered under the Securities Act or, if such Stock is not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  In addition, you acknowledge that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, including without limitation Rule 16b-3.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

4. Termination of the Option.

5. Option Not a Service Contract. This Option is not an employment or service contract and nothing in this Agreement , the Grant Notice or the Plan shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the service of the Company, or of the Company to continue your service with the Company. In addition, nothing in your Option shall obligate the Company, its stockholders, board of directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship which you might have as a director or consultant for the Company.
