RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Participant have previously entered into one or more Nonqualified Stock Option Agreements (each, as applicable and as it may have been previously amended, an “Option Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the same meaning as in the applicable Option Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.          Section 3(c) of each Option Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“(c)       Purchase by the Company.

 

(i)          Annual Purchases.

 

(A)         Subject to Section 3(c)(i)(E) hereof, to the extent the Participant then remains a director of the Company or an employee of the Company or any Affiliate (and subject to any limitations contained in the Regulatory Agreement or the Company's financing agreements), during April of 2016 (the “First 2016 Put Period”) or November of 2016 (the “Second 2016 Put Period”), at the request of the Participant, the Company will (x) purchase up to 1/3 of the Shares subject to this Option (to the extent such Shares were previously issued to the Participant in respect of this Option) for Fair Market Value as determined by the Committee and the Participant in good faith or (y) in lieu of the Participant's rights under Section 3(b) hereof, cancel up to 1/3 of the Option (to the extent the applicable portion of the Option is then exercisable in accordance with Section 3(a)) for Fair Market Value (less the applicable Option Price) as determined by the Committee and the Participant in good faith; provided in any event that such Shares or portion of the Option subject to purchase or cancellation pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i)(A) were not previously purchased or cancelled pursuant to this Section 3(c).

The number of Shares or the portion of the Option subject to purchase or cancellation pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i)(B) will be increased by the number of Shares or the portion of the Option that was available for purchase or cancellation pursuant to Section 3(c)(i)(A) hereof; provided that such Shares or portion of the Option were not previously purchased or cancelled pursuant to this Section 3(c).

 

 

 

 

(C)         Subject to Section 3(c)(i)(E) hereof, to the extent the Participant then remains a director of the Company or an employee of the Company or any Affiliate (and subject to any limitations contained in the Regulatory Agreement or the Company's financing agreements), during April of 2018 (the “First 2018 Put Period”) or November of 2018 (the “Second 2018 Put Period”), at the request of the Participant, the Company will (x) purchase up to 1/3 of the Shares subject to this Option (to the extent such Shares were previously issued to the Participant in respect of this Option) for Fair Market Value as determined by the Committee and the Participant in good faith or (y) in lieu of the Participant's rights under Section 3(b) hereof, cancel up to 1/3 of the Option (to the extent the applicable portion of the Option is then exercisable in accordance with Section 3(a)) for Fair Market Value (less the applicable Option Price) as determined by the Committee and the Participant in good faith; provided in any event that such Shares or portion of the Option subject to purchase or cancellation pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i)(C) were not previously purchased or cancelled pursuant to this Section 3(c). The number of Shares or the portion of the Option subject to purchase or cancellation pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i)(C) will be increased by the number of Shares or the portion of the Option that was available for purchase or cancellation pursuant to Section 3(c)(i)(B) hereof (including, without limitation, the number of Shares or the portion of the Option that was available for purchase or cancellation pursuant to Section 3(c)(i)(A) hereof); provided that such Shares or portion of the Option were not previously purchased or cancelled pursuant to this Section 3(c).

 

(D)         Subject to Section 3(c)(i)(E) hereof, to the extent the Participant then remains a director of the Company or an employee of the Company or any Affiliate (and subject to any limitations contained in the Regulatory Agreement or the Company's financing agreements), during April of any year after 2018 (a “First Subsequent Put Period”) or November of any year after 2018 (a “Second Subsequent Put Period”), at the request of the Participant, the Company will (x) purchase Shares subject to this Option (to the extent such Shares were previously issued to the Participant in respect of this Option) for Fair Market Value as determined by the Committee and the Participant in good faith or (y) except with respect to the Participant's Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement with the Company dated November 5, 2010, as amended (the “2010 Director Award”), in lieu of the Participant's rights under Section 3(b) hereof, cancel the Vested Portion of the Option for Fair Market Value (less the applicable Option Price) as determined by the Committee and the Participant in good faith; provided in any event that such Shares or portion of the Option subject to purchase or cancellation pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i)(D) during the applicable Subsequent Put Period were not previously purchased or cancelled pursuant to this Section 3(c).

 

 2 

 

 

(E)         In the event that the aggregate number of Shares (whether then outstanding or subject to outstanding options) requested to be purchased or cancelled by all Plan participants during the First 2016 Put Period, the Second 2016 Put. Period, the First 2017 Put Period, the Second 2017 Put Period, the First 2018 Put Period, the Second 2018 Put Period any First Subsequent Put Period or any Second Subsequent Put Period (each, a “Put Period”) exceeds the amount which would be permitted to be purchased or cancelled by the Regulatory Agreement or the Company's financing agreements during the applicable Put Period, then the number of Shares requested to be purchased or cancelled by all Plan participants during the applicable Put Period will be reduced on a pro-rata basis by multiplying the number of Shares requested to be purchased or cancelled during the applicable Put Period by the Permitted Share Percentage for the applicable Put Period. The “Permitted Share Percentage” for an applicable Put Period means a percentage represented by a fraction, the numerator of which is (x) the maximum total dollar value which the Company could use to purchase or cancel Shares during the applicable Put Period pursuant to this Section 3(c) without triggering the limitations imposed by this Section 3(c)(i)(E), and the denominator of which is (y) the total dollar value necessary for the Company to purchase or cancel all Shares requested to be purchased or cancelled during the applicable Put Period pursuant to this Section 3(c).

 

(ii)         Special Purchases. Subject to any limitations contained in the Regulatory Agreement or the Company's financing agreements, at the request of the Participant during the exercise period set forth in Section 3(a), but in no event prior to the earliest of the date of a Change in Control, the date of a Public Offering or the date that is thirty (30) months following the date the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company and its Affiliates due to death, Disability, resignation or removal without Cause, or, solely with respect to the 2010 Director Award, August 1, 2016, the Company will (A) purchase Shares issued to the Participant in respect of this Option for Fair Market Value as determined by the Committee and the Participant in good faith or (B) except with respect to the 2010 Director Award, in lieu of the Participant's rights under Section 3(b) hereof, cancel the Vested Portion of the Option for Fair Market Value (less the applicable Option Price) as determined by the Committee and the Participant in good faith; provided in any event that such Shares or portion of the Option subject to purchase or cancellation pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) were not previously purchased or cancelled pursuant to this Section 3(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant's rights pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) are in addition to, and not in lieu or in restriction of, the Participant's rights set forth in Section 3(c)(i).”

 

2.           Exhibit A to each Option Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

3.           Except as amended hereby, each Option Agreement will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
