(ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator. In the case of a
Nonstatutory Stock Option intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the per Share exercise
price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(b) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be
exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. In so doing, the Administrator may specify that an
Option may not be exercised until the completion of a service period.
(c) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such
consideration may consist entirely of:
(i) cash;
(ii) check;
(iii) promissory note;
(iv) other Shares which (A) meet the requirements and conditions established by the Administrator in order to avoid any unfavorable
financial accounting consequences (as determined by the Administrator) and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate
exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option will be exercised;
(v) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if
applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price;
(vi) a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Optionee, including any liability attributable to the Optionee’s participation in
any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement;
(vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or
(viii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.
10. Exercise of Option.
(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at
such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement.
