Stock Option The Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee the option (the "Stock Option") to purchase that number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation, par value $.01 per share, set forth on Schedule A. The Corporation will issue these shares as fully paid and nonassessable shares upon the Optionee's exercise of the Stock Option. The Optionee may exercise the Stock Option in accordance with this Agreement any time prior to the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of the Stock Option evidenced by this Agreement, unless earlier terminated according to the terms of this Agreement. Schedule A sets forth the date or dates after which the Optionee may exercise all or part of the Stock Option, subject to the provisions of the Plan.
Stock Option Grant Subject to the provisions set forth herein and the terms and conditions of the Plan, and in consideration of the agreements of the Participant herein provided, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an Option to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock, at the exercise price per share, and on the schedule, set forth above.
Nonstatutory Stock Option The Optionee may incur regular federal income tax liability upon exercise of a NSO. The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

The number of shares covered by such Options shall equal 50,000. The Options shall have a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of such Option on the date of grant, as determined by the Board.
