Payment of the purchase price of the Option Shares subject to an Option granted hereunder may be made (i) in any combination of cash or whole Shares already owned by the Employee or (ii) in Shares withheld by the Company from the Option Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee as a result of the exercise of such Option (“cashless exercise”).  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Option may be exercised by execution and delivery of a written notice of exercise (the “ Notice of Exercise ”) in the form authorized by the Company, which may be electronic or written.  Such notice shall (a) state the election to exercise such Option, the number of Option Shares in respect of which it is being exercised and the manner of payment for such Option Shares and (b) be signed (or digitally signed or authenticated) by the person or persons so exercising such Option and, in the event such Option is being exercised pursuant to Section 4 by any person or persons other than the Employee, accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise such Option.  If the Option being exercised is an ISO and non-statutory options have also been granted to the Employee hereunder, such notice shall also identify whether the Option being exercised is an ISO and, if so, the number of Option Shares to be purchased pursuant to such exercise.  Such notice shall either (i) elect cashless exercise or be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of such Option Shares, in which event the Company shall issue to or on behalf of the Employee (or any other person or persons exercising the Option) the purchased Shares, or (ii) fix a date (not more than 10 business days from the date of such notice) for the payment of the full purchase price of such Option Shares at the Company’s principal office, against delivery of the purchased Shares.  Cash payments of the purchase price shall, in case of clause (i) or (ii) above, be made by cash or check payable to the order of the Company.  Share payments (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, as determined by the Committee), shall be made by delivery of stock certificates in negotiable form.  All cash and Share payments shall, in either case, be delivered to the Company at its principal office, attention of the Secretary.  Shares withheld pursuant to a cashless exercise election shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, as determined by the Committee.  If certificates representing Shares are used to pay all or part of the purchase price of an Option granted hereunder, a replacement certificate shall be delivered by the Company representing the number of Shares delivered but not so used, and an additional certificate shall be delivered representing the additional Shares to which the holder of such Option is entitled as a result of the exercise of such Option.  As soon as practical after the exercise date, the Company shall issue to or on behalf of the Employee (or any other person or persons exercising the Option) the purchased Shares (in certificated form or as evidenced by an appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), subject to the appropriate legends and/or stop transfer instructions.  All Shares issued as provided herein will be fully paid and nonassessable.
