The Optionee or the Optionee's representative may exercise a Vested Option by giving written notice to the Company specifying the election to exercise a Vested Option, the number of Shares for which it is being exercised and the form of payment (the "Notice of Exercise"). The Notice of Exercise shall be signed by the person exercising a Vested Option. In the event that a Vested Option is being exercised by the Optionee's representative, the Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Company) of the representative's right to exercise a Vested Option. The Optionee or the Optionee's representative shall deliver to the Company, at the time of giving the Notice of Exercise, payment in a form permissible under the Plan for the full amount of the number of Shares for which the Vested Option is being exercised multiplied by the Exercise Price (the "Exercise Amount"). In addition, the Company shall be entitled to require, as a condition of delivery of the Shares upon exercise, that you remit an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy all applicable withholding taxes relating thereto; provided that you may elect to satisfy the obligation to pay any withholding tax, in whole or in part, by having the Company retain Shares that would otherwise be delivered upon exercise that are sufficient in value (valued at their Fair Market Value as of the day immediately prior to the date of exercise) to cover the amount of such withholding tax.
(b) Receipt of Stock; Book Entry Procedures. After receiving a Notice of Exercise, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company shall record in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator) the number of Shares owned by the Optionee (or as applicable, his beneficiaries) and shall not deliver to the Optionee certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Vested Option.

expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (a) above; or
- (ii)
- The date ninety (90) days after the effective date of termination.
SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a) Rights as a Shareholder.

(b) Tenure. Nothing in the Agreement or Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in employment with the Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Subsidiary or parent of the Company employing or retaining the Optionee) or of the Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

(e) Waiver. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition whether of like or different nature.
