The Stock Option is not granted
under the Corporation’s 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation
Plan, as amended (the “Plan”); however, unless
otherwise defined in this Agreement, the definitions contained in
Section 2 of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference.
Since the Stock Option is not covered by the S-8 Registration
Statement governing the Plan, the Corporation agrees to prepare and
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission at its expense an
S-8 Registration Statement covering the Stock Option and the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon its exercise.
2. The Stock Option is granted to
purchase the number of shares of authorized but unissued $0.001 par
value Common Stock of the Corporation specified in Section 1
hereof (the “Shares”). The Stock Option shall expire,
and all rights to exercise it shall terminate on the tenth
anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless sooner terminated under
the terms of this Agreement. This Stock Option is intended by the
Corporation and Optionee to be a non-qualified stock option for
income tax purposes.
3. Optionee shall have the right to
exercise the Stock Option in accordance with the following
schedule:
(a) The Stock Option may not be
exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the one-year
anniversary of the Date of Grant.
(b) Optionee may exercise the Stock
Option as to one-fourth of the shares on or after the one-year
anniversary of the Date of Grant.
(c) Optionee may exercise the Stock
Option as to an additional 1/16th of the Shares on or after the end
of each complete three (3)-month period following the one-year
anniversary of the Date of Grant, meaning that Optionee may
exercise the Stock Option in full on or after the four-year
anniversary of the Date of Grant.
(d) The right to exercise the Stock
Option shall be cumulative. Optionee may buy all, or from time to
time any part, of the maximum number of shares
-1-
which are exercisable under the
Stock Option, but in no case may Optionee exercise the Stock Option
with regard to a fraction of a share, or for any share for which
the Stock Option is not exercisable.
4. Optionee agrees to comply with
all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the grant and
exercise of the Stock Option and the sale or other disposition of
the Common Stock of the Corporation received pursuant to the
exercise of such Stock Option, including compliance with the
Corporation’s insider trading policies.
5. The Stock Option shall not become
exercisable unless and until the Corporation has determined that:
(a) it and Optionee have taken all actions required to
register such shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements
thereof; (b) any applicable listing requirement of any stock
exchange or securities market on which such shares are listed has
been satisfied; and (c) all other applicable provisions of
state and federal law have been satisfied. The Corporation will not
permit Optionee to exercise the Stock Option if the issuance of
shares at that time would violate any law or regulation. The
inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory
body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to
the lawful issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to exercise of
the Stock Option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability
with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Corporation stock
as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. However,
the Corporation shall use its best efforts to obtain such
approval.
6. Neither the vesting schedule nor
any other provision in this Agreement shall impose upon the
Corporation any obligation to retain Optionee in its employ or
under contract for any period, or otherwise change the
employment-at-will status of Optionee. The Corporation and its
Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate any person’s
Service at any time and for any or no reason, with or without
notice while the Optionee may likewise resign and terminate
Optionee’s Service at any time.
7. This option grant shall lapse on
the earliest of the following events:
(a) The tenth anniversary of the
Date of Grant;
(b) The first anniversary of
Optionee’s death;
(c) The first anniversary of the
date Optionee ceases to render Services due to Total and Permanent
Disability;
(d) Ninety (90) days after the
date that Optionee ceases to render Service for any reason other
than his death or Total and Permanent Disability; or
(e) The date Optionee files or has
filed against him a petition in bankruptcy.
8. In order to exercise the Stock
Option, Optionee must notify the Corporation by obtaining from and
returning to the Human Resources Department of the Corporation a
“Notice of Exercise of Stock Option” form. The returned
notice must be signed and completed, specifying for example how
many Shares Optionee wishes to purchase and how the
Shares
-2-
should be registered. The notice will be
effective when it is received by the Corporation. If someone else
wants to exercise the Option after Optionee’s death, that
person must prove to the Corporation’s satisfaction that he
or she is entitled to do so. When submitting the notice of
exercise, Optionee must include payment of Exercise Consideration
which is the Exercise Price times the number of Shares for which
the Stock Option is being exercised. The Exercise Consideration
shall be payable in full in cash upon each exercise of the Stock
Option except that Optionee may also pay the Exercise Consideration
by surrendering shares of the Corporation’s registered common
stock in good form for transfer, owned by Optionee and having a
Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise
Consideration. However, Optionee shall not surrender shares in
payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the
Corporation to recognize additional compensation expense with
respect to the Stock Option for financial reporting purposes as
compared to if Optionee had paid cash to exercise the Option.
Optionee may pay in any combination of cash and such shares as long
as the sum of the cash so paid and the Fair Market Value of the
shares so surrendered equals the Exercise Consideration.
Payment may be made all or in part
by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an
irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell the shares
resulting from the exercise and to deliver all or part of the sale
proceeds to the Corporation in payment of part or all of the
aggregate exercise price along with any taxes due pursuant to
Section 17.
9. In the event of Optionee’s
death, the Stock Option shall not be transferable by Optionee other
than by will or the
