With respect to a Nonqualified Stock Option, the Option Price shall not be less than 50% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Effective Date of Grant. 7.4. Any Award to an Employee will be considered to be a Nonqualified Stock Option to the extent that any or all of the grant is in conflict with Section 7.2 or with any requirement for Incentive Stock Options pursuant to Code ss.422A and the regulations issued thereunder. 7.5. An Option may be terminated as follows: (A) During the period of continuous employment with the Company, Parent or Subsidiary, an Option will be terminated only if it has been fully exercised or it has expired by its terms. (B) Upon termination of employment, the Option will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the full exercise of the Option (ii) the expiration of the Option by its terms, and (iii) not more than three months following the date of employment termination; provided, however, should termination of employment (A) result from the death or Permanent and Total Disability of the Participant, such period shall be one year or (B) be for Cause, the Option will terminate on the date of employment termination. For purposes of this Plan, a leave of absence approved by the Company shall not be deemed to be termination of employment except with respect to an Incentive Stock Option as required to comply with Code ss.422A and the regulations issued thereunder. (C) Subject to the terms of the Agreement with the Participant, if a Participant shall die or becomes subject to a Permanent and Total Disability prior to the termination of employment with the Company, Parent or Subsidiary and prior to the termination of an Option, such Option may be exercised to the extent that the Participant shall have been entitled to exercise it at the time of death or disability, as the case may be, by the Participant, the estate of the Participant or the person or persons to whom the Option may have been transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 7.6. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement with the Participant, in no event will the continuation of the term of an Option beyond the date of termination of employment allow the Participant, or the beneficiaries or heirs of the Participant, to accrue additional rights under this Plan, or to purchase more Shares through the exercise of an Option than could have been purchased on the day that employment was terminated. 7.7. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to an Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to such Participant for such Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other 7 8 property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 6.1.(f). 7.8.

Upon exercise of an SAR, the Participant shall be entitled, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and the Agreement, to receive the excess for each Share being exercised under the SAR (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over (ii) the SAR Price for such Share. 8.4. At the sole discretion of the Committee, the payment of such excess shall be made in (i) cash, (ii) Shares, or (iii) a combination of cash and Shares. Shares used for this payment shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the applicable SAR. 8.5. An Award of an SAR shall be considered an Award for purposes of the number of Shares subject to an Award pursuant to Section 5.1, unless the Agreement making the Award of the SAR provides that the exercise of an SAR results in the termination of an unexercised Option for the same number of Shares. 8.6. An SAR may be terminated as follows: (A) During the period of continuous employment with the Company, Parent or Subsidiary, an SAR will be terminated only if it has been fully exercised or it has expired by its terms. (B) Upon termination of employment, the SAR will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the full exercise of the SAR (ii) the expiration of the SAR by its terms, and (iii) not more than three months following the date of employment termination; provided, however, should termination of employment (I) result from the death or Permanent and Total Disability of the Participant, such three month period shall be one year or (II) be for Cause, the SAR will terminate on the date of employment termination. For purposes of this Plan, a leave of absence approved by the Company shall not be deemed to be termination of employment unless otherwise provided in the Agreement or by the Company on the date of the leave of absence. 8 9 (C) Subject to the terms of the Agreement with the Participant if a Participant shall die or becomes subject to a Permanent and Total Disability prior to the termination of employment with the Company, Parent or Subsidiary and prior to the termination of an SAR, such SAR may be exercised to the extent that the Participant shall have been entitled to exercise it at the time of death or disability, as the case may be, by the Participant, the estate of the Participant or the person or persons to whom the SAR may have been transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. (D) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement with the Participant, in no event will the continuation of the term of an SAR beyond the date of termination of employment allow the Employee, or his beneficiaries or heirs, to accrue additional rights under this Plan, have additional SARs available for exercise or to receive a higher benefit than the benefit payable as if the SAR was exercised on the date of employment termination. 8.7. If an SAR which was considered an Award for purposes of Section 8.5 is terminated or unexercised for any reason, the number of Shares of such SAR that were unexercised shall be again available for Award under this Plan. 8.8. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to an SAR. In addition, no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or rights except as provided in Section 6.1.(f). 9.
