2


Administrator otherwise determines in its sole discretion, however, any such change of employment or service that is not made at the request or with the express consent of the Company will be a termination of your employment within the meaning of this Agreement.
4.Manner of Exercise.  You may exercise the Options that vest and become exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, except as otherwise provided herein.  Options will be considered exercised (as to the number and type of Options specified in the Exercise Notice defined below in subclause (i)(1) of this Section 4) on the latest of (a) the date of exercise designated in the Exercise Notice, (b) if the date so designated is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such date or (c) the earliest Business Day by which:
(i)the Company has received all of the following:
(1)written or electronic notice, in such form as the Plan Administrator may require, containing such representations and warranties as the Plan Administrator may require and designating, among other things, the date of exercise and the number and type of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by exercise of the Options (the “Exercise Notice”);
(2)payment of the applicable Option Exercise Price for each share of Common Stock to be purchased by exercise in any (or a combination) of the following forms: (A) cash, (B) check, or (C) at the option of the Company, the delivery of irrevocable instructions via the Company’s online grant and administration program for the Company to withhold the number of shares of Common Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date of exercise) required to pay such Option Exercise Price (and, if applicable, the Required Withholding Amount as described in Section 5 (Mandatory Withholding for Taxes)) that would otherwise be delivered by the Company to you upon exercise of the Options; and
(3)any other documentation that the Plan Administrator may reasonably require; and
(ii)you have satisfied any other conditions established or adopted by the Plan Administrator from time to time, as contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Plan, with respect to the exercise of Options.
5.Mandatory Withholding for Taxes.  You acknowledge and agree that the Company will deduct from the shares of Common Stock otherwise payable or deliverable upon exercise of any Options that number of shares of the applicable Common Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date of exercise) that is equal to the amount of all national, federal, state and other local or governmental taxes and social security costs and charges or similar contributions (wheresoever arising) required to be withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company upon such exercise, as determined by the Company (the “Required Withholding Amount”), unless provisions to pay such Required Withholding Amount have been made to the satisfaction of the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may allow for tax withholding in respect of the exercise of any Options up to the maximum withholding rate applicable to you.  
6.Payment or Delivery by the Company.  As soon as practicable after receipt of all items referred to in Section 4 (Manner of Exercise), subject to (a) the withholding referred to in Section 5 (Mandatory Withholding for Taxes), (b) Section 12 (Right of Offset), and (c) Section 17 (Amendment), and except as otherwise provided herein as may be determined by the Plan Administrator, the Company will cause to be issued and transferred to a brokerage account, or registered through the Company’s stock transfer agent for your benefit, book-entry transfers registered in your name for that number and type of shares of Common Stock purchased by exercise of the Options.  Any delivery of securities will be deemed effected for all purposes when (i) in the case of a book-entry transfer, at the time the Company’s stock transfer agent initiates the transfer of such securities to a brokerage account through the Company’s stock transfer agent for your benefit or (ii) the Plan Administrator has made or caused to be made such other arrangements for the delivery of such securities as the Plan Administrator deems reasonable.  Securities representing Common Stock purchased by exercise of the Options may be registered only to you (or during your lifetime, to your court appointed legal representative) or to a person to whom the Options have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 of the Plan and Section 8 below (Nontransferability).
7.Expiration.  The Options will terminate automatically and without further notice on the Option Termination Date or, unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion or except as otherwise specified in Schedule I hereto, effective as of the following times, if earlier:

(b)Vested Options.  With respect to those Options which are then exercisable (after taking into account any applicable accelerated or continued vesting treatment):
(i)Termination for any Reason Other than Disability, Death or for Cause. In the event of termination of your employment for any reason other than your Disability (when Cause does not then exist), your death, or for Cause, at the Close of Business on the last day of the period beginning on the Employment Termination Date and ending 90 days thereafter; provided, however, that if you die during such period, such Options will terminate at the Close of Business on the last day of the one-year period beginning on the date of your death;
(ii)Disability. In the event of termination of your employment with the Company or a Subsidiary by reason of your Disability (when Cause does not then exist), at the Close of Business on the last day of the one-year period beginning on the Employment Termination Date; provided, however, that if you die during such period, such Options will terminate at the Close of Business on the last day of the one-year period beginning on the date of your death; or

Notwithstanding any period of time referenced in this Section 7 or Schedule I hereto or any other provision of this Agreement that may be construed to the contrary, the Options will in any event terminate at the Close of Business on the Option Termination Date.  Notwithstanding anything herein or the Plan to the contrary, if the Options would otherwise expire when trading in the Common Stock is prohibited by law or the Company’s insider trading policy pursuant to an event-specific occurrence (as determined by the Company), then the Options shall instead expire on the 30th day after the expiration of such prohibition.

8.Nontransferability.  Options are not transferable (either voluntarily or involuntarily), before or after your death, except as follows: (a) during your lifetime, pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, that is not contrary to the terms and conditions of the Plan or this Agreement, and in a form acceptable to the Plan Administrator; or (b) after your death, by will or pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution, as may be the case.  Any person to whom Options are transferred in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence shall take such Options subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including that the vesting and termination provisions of this Agreement will continue to be applied with respect to you.  Options are exercisable only by you (or, during your lifetime, by your court appointed legal representative) or a person to whom the Options have been transferred in accordance with this Section 8 and Section 10.6 of the Plan.
9.No Stockholder Rights.  Prior to the exercise of Options in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, you will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or to have any of the rights of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by the Options, nor will the existence of this Agreement affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to accomplish any corporate act, including, without limitation, the acts referred to in Section 10.16 of the Plan.
10.Adjustments. The Options will be subject to adjustment (including, without limitation, as to the Option Exercise Price) in such manner as the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems equitable and appropriate in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 4.2 of the Plan following the Grant Date.
11.Confidential Information.  During your employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary, you will acquire, receive, and/or develop Confidential Information (as defined below) in the course of performing your job duties or services. You will not, during or after your employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary, without the prior express written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly use or divulge, disclose or make available or accessible any Confidential Information to any person, firm, partnership, corporation, trust or any other entity or third party other than when

required to do so in good faith to perform your duties and responsibilities to the Company and provided that nothing herein shall be interpreted as preventing you from (a) doing so when required to do so by a lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction, any governmental authority or agency, or any recognized subpoena power, (b) doing so when necessary to prosecute your rights against the Company or its Subsidiaries or to defend yourself against any allegations, or (c) communicating with, filing a charge with, reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to, or participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by, a government agency, including providing documents or other information to such agency without notice to the Company.  You will also proffer to the Company, any time upon request by the Company or upon termination, to be provided no later than the effective date of any termination of your employment or engagement with the Company for any reason, and without retaining any copies, notes or excerpts thereof, all memoranda, computer disks or other media, computer programs, diaries, notes, records, data, customer or client lists, marketing plans and strategies, and any other documents consisting of or containing Confidential Information that are in your actual or constructive possession or which are subject to your control at such time (other than contracts between you and the Company, pay stubs, benefits information, and copies of documents or information that you require in order to prepare your taxes).  At the time of termination or otherwise upon request by the Company, you agree to permanently delete Confidential Information from all of your personal electronic devices and provide certification to the Company that you are in compliance with this sentence.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” will mean all information respecting the business and activities of the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, the clients, customers, suppliers, employees, consultants, computer or other files, projects, products, computer disks or other media, computer hardware or computer software programs, marketing plans, financial information, methodologies, know-how, processes, practices, approaches, projections, forecasts, formats, systems, trade secrets, data gathering methods and/or strategies of the Company or any Subsidiary.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Confidential Information will not include any information that is, or becomes, generally available to the public (unless such availability occurs as a result of your breach of any of your obligations under this Section 11).  If you are in breach of any of the provisions of this Section 11 or if any such breach is threatened by you, in addition to and without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief in any court, domestic or foreign, having the capacity to grant such relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, to restrain any such breach or threatened breach and to enforce the provisions of this Section 11.  You agree that there is no adequate remedy at law for any such breach or threatened breach and, if any action or proceeding is brought seeking injunctive relief, you will not use as a defense thereto that there is an adequate remedy at law.
12.Right of Offset.  You hereby agree that the Company shall have the right to offset against its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock, cash or other property under this Agreement to the extent that it does not constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” pursuant to Section 409A, any outstanding amounts of whatever nature that you then owe to the Company or a Subsidiary.
13.Plan Administrator.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Plan Administrator” means the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or any different committee appointed by the Board of Directors as described more fully in Section 3.1 of the Plan.
14.Restrictions Imposed by Law.  Without limiting the generality of Section 10.8 of the Plan, you will not exercise the Options, and the Company will not be obligated to make any cash payment or issue or cause to be issued any shares of Common Stock, if counsel to the Company determines that such exercise, payment or issuance would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which shares of Common Stock are listed or quoted.  The Company will in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Options or the resulting payment of cash or issuance of shares of Common Stock to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.  Any certificates representing any such securities issued or delivered under this Agreement may bear such legend or legends as the Company deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable securities laws.
15.Tax Representations.  You hereby acknowledge that the Company has advised you that you should consult with your own tax advisors regarding the national, federal, state and other local or governmental tax consequences or social security costs and charges or similar contributions (wheresoever arising) of receiving the Award.

If, in connection with the Award, the Company is required to withhold any amounts by reason of any national, federal, state and other local or governmental tax or social security costs and charges or similar contributions (wheresoever arising), such withholding shall be effected in accordance with Section 10.9 of the Plan and Section 5 (Mandatory Withholding for Taxes).

18.Employment.  Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement, and no action of the Company or the Plan Administrator with respect thereto, will confer or be construed to confer on you any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any employing Subsidiary to terminate your employment or service at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the provisions of any employment or consulting agreement between you and the Company or any Subsidiary.

23.Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or condition hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other terms and conditions set forth herein.
24.Construction.  References in this Agreement to “this Agreement” and the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and similar terms include all Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, including the Plan.  All references to “Sections” in this Agreement shall be to Sections of this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise.  The word “include” and all variations thereof are used in an illustrative sense and not in a limiting sense.  All decisions of the Plan Administrator upon questions regarding the Plan or this Agreement will be conclusive.  Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.  The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been included for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and will in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.
25.Rules by Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator, in its discretion and as contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Plan, may adopt rules and regulations it deems consistent with the terms of the Plan and as necessary or advisable in its operation and administration of the Plan and this Award.  You acknowledge and agree that your rights and the obligations of the Company hereunder, including with respect to any exercise of the Options, will be subject to any further conditions and such reasonable rules and regulations as the Plan Administrator may adopt from time to time.
26.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement is in satisfaction of and in lieu of all prior discussions and agreements, oral or written, between the Company and you regarding the Award.  You and the Company hereby declare and represent that no promise or agreement not expressed herein has been made and that this Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Award and replaces and makes null and void any prior agreements between you and the Company regarding the Award.  Subject to the restrictions set forth in Sections 8 (Nontransferability) and 19 (Nonalienation of Benefits), this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.
27.Acknowledgment.  You will signify acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by acknowledging the acceptance of this Agreement via the procedures described in the online grant and administration program utilized by the Company.  By your electronic acknowledgment of the Options, you are acknowledging the terms and conditions of the Award set forth in this Agreement as though you and the Company had signed an original copy of the Agreement.
28.Code Section 409A.  The Awards made hereunder are intended to be “stock rights” exempt from Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered accordingly.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Section 409A of the Code or the related regulations and Treasury pronouncements (“Section 409A”) are applicable to you in connection with the Award, this Award is subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 of the Plan regarding Section 409A and each payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment under Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the Award or the Plan shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to the Award or the Plan.  If this Agreement fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on you by Section 409A, and you shall have no recourse against the Company or any of its Affiliate for payment of any such tax, penalty or interest imposed by Section 409A.
29.Forfeiture for Misconduct and Repayment of Certain Amounts.  If (a) a material restatement of any financial statement of the Company (including any consolidated financial statement of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries) is required and (b) in the reasonable judgment of the Plan Administrator, (i) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (ii) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on your part, you will repay to the Company Forfeitable Benefits you received during the Misstatement Period in such amount as the Plan Administrator may reasonably determine, taking into account, in addition to any other factors deemed relevant by the Plan Administrator, the extent to which the market value of Common Stock during the Misstatement Period was affected by the error(s) giving rise to the need for such restatement.  “Forfeitable Benefits” means (A) any and all cash and/or shares of Common Stock you received (I) upon the exercise during the Misstatement Period of any Options and SARs you held or (II) upon the payment during the Misstatement Period of any Cash Award or Performance Award you held, the value of which is determined in whole or in part with reference to the value of Common Stock, and (B) any proceeds you received from the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition during the Misstatement Period of any shares of Common Stock you received upon the exercise, vesting or payment during the Misstatement Period of any Award you held.  By way of clarification, “Forfeitable Benefits” will not include any shares of Common Stock you received upon vesting

7


of any Restricted Stock Units during the Misstatement Period that are not sold, exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed of during the Misstatement Period. “Misstatement Period” means the 12-month period beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whichever occurs earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement.  Further, in the event that the Plan Administrator, in its reasonable judgment, determines that you breached Section 11 (Confidential Information) or any other non-competition or non-solicitation provisions included in this Agreement, the Plan Administrator may require you to forfeit, return or repay to the Company (X) all or any portion of the Options, whether exercisable or unexercisable, that remain outstanding, and any and all rights with respect to any such Options, (Y) any shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of any Options during the 12-month period prior to such breach or any time after such breach occurs and (Z) any proceeds realized on the sale of any shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of any Options during the 12-month period prior to such breach or any time after such breach occurs.  For the avoidance of doubt, any such forfeiture, return or repayment will not limit, restrict or otherwise affect your continuing obligations under Section 11 (Confidential Information) or any other non-competition or non-solicitation provisions included in this Agreement, or the Company’s right to seek injunctive relief or any other relief in the event of your breach of Section 11 (Confidential Information) or any other non-competition or non-solicitation provisions included in this Agreement.
30.Changes to Forfeiture Provisions and Policies.  Please note Section 29 (Forfeiture for Misconduct and Repayment of Certain Amounts), which reflects an important policy of the Company. The Plan Administrator has determined that Awards made under the Plan (including the Award represented by this Agreement) are subject to forfeiture and recoupment in certain circumstances. By accepting this Award, you agree that the Plan Administrator may change the Forfeiture section of any or all of the grant agreements (including this Agreement) from time to time without your further consent to reflect changes in law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirements or Company policy.
31.Additional Conditions and Restrictions.  You may be subject to additional conditions and restrictions.  If a Schedule II is attached hereto, the additional conditions and restrictions specified therein are considered part of this Agreement.
32.Administrative Blackouts.  In addition to its other powers under the Plan, the Plan Administrator has the authority to suspend (a) the exercise of Options and (b) any other transactions under the Plan as it deems necessary or appropriate for administrative reasons.
33.Stock Ownership Guidelines.  This Award may be subject to any applicable stock ownership guidelines adopted by the Company, as amended or superseded from time to time.
34.Company Information.  You can access the Company’s most recent annual, quarterly and current reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the Company’s website specified in Schedule I hereto.  Please refer to these reports as well as the Company’s future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (also available on the Company’s website) for important information regarding the Company and its Common Stock.

For purposes of this Agreement, a Pro Rata Portion shall be equal to the product of “A” multiplied by “B,” where “A” equals the number of Options in the applicable Tranche that are not vested on the Employment Termination Date, and “B” is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that have elapsed from the Grant Date through the Employment Termination Date plus (i) an additional 270 calendar days if you are an Assistant Vice President or Vice President of the Company or a Subsidiary on the Employment Termination Date or (ii) an additional 365 calendar days if you are a Senior Vice President, Executive Vice President or Chief of the Company or a Subsidiary on the Employment Termination Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire vesting period for such Tranche (in no event to exceed the total number of unvested Options in such Tranche as of the Employment Termination Date). The vesting

period for each Tranche of Options is the period that begins on the Grant Date and ends on the vesting date for such Tranche.

Post-Termination without Cause Exercise Period:

Notwithstanding Section 7(b)(i) of the Agreement, if your

employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated by the

Company or such Subsidiary without Cause, subject to the Release Conditions being met, those Options which are then exercisable (after taking into account the applicable accelerated vesting treatment)  shall remain exercisable for the period of time beginning on the Employment Termination Date and continuing for the number of days that is equal to the sum of (i) 90, plus (ii) 180 multiplied by your total Years of Continuous Service.
