2.Exercise of Option

(a)Each installment of this Option as set forth above may be exercised, in whole or in part, in one or more exercises, during the time periods stated above.  In no event shall the Company be required to issue fractional shares.  This Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the Company of all of the following prior to the time when this Option or exercisable portion thereof, becomes unexercisable under Paragraph 1:

3.Withholding Taxes

The payment of withholding taxes, if any, due upon the exercise of the Option granted by this agreement may be satisfied by instructing the Company to withhold from the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued and delivered to the Optionee upon exercise that number of shares, or a combination of cash and shares so withheld, having a total value equal to the amount of income and withholding taxes due (up to the minimum required tax withholding rate for the Optionee or such other rate that will not cause an adverse accounting consequence or cost) as determined by the Company.  Any option shares so withheld shall be valued at their Fair Market Value, as defined in the Plan.  Under no circumstances can the Company be required to withhold from the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued and delivered to the Optionee upon exercise a number of shares having a total value that exceeds the amount of withholding taxes due as determined by the Company at the time of exercise.  Optionee acknowledges and agrees that, except as would result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code, the Company may delay any exercise of the options granted hereunder until the Optionee has made arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligations of the Optionee.

After the death of Optionee, any exercisable portion of this Option may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the provisions of Paragraph 1(d), above, be exercised by the Optionee’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under court order, by will or the laws of descent and distribution (such personal representative or other person empowered to act under court order is hereinafter referred to as a “Third Party”).  The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that except as provided in Paragraph 8, the Company may delay any exercise of the options granted hereunder until it has received satisfactory proof of the Third Party’s right to exercise the options.

5.Certain Conditions To Issue Of Shares

No shares may be issued upon the exercise of this Option if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, all then applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction and of any stock exchange upon which the shares of the Company may be listed are not fully met, and, as a condition of Optionee’s exercise of this Option, Optionee shall take all such action as counsel may advise is necessary for Optionee to take to meet such requirements.
