the Company providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to
some or all of the Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option pursuant to a program or procedure

Company-Assisted Sales of Shares; Grant of Power of Attorney for Sale of
Shares
.
The Employee acknowledges that he or she has been advised that it may be impracticable for the
Employee on his or her own to sell, or to arrange for a sale through a broker or otherwise of the Shares
acquired upon exercise of the Option.
Therefore, the Company expects to assist the Employee in this regard
by facilitating the sale of Shares obtained through the exercise of the Option, with the method and timing of
such sales to be determined by the Executive Committee of the Company, although the Company has no
obligation to do so.
However, in the event that the Company does attempt to facilitate any such Share sale,
the Company does not represent to the Employee that such sale will be completed, or if it is completed, that
Shares will be sold at any particular price or require any particular level of brokerage commissions.
The
Employee hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Company’s chief executive officer or successor,
and the Company’s chief financial officer or successor,
each with full power and authority to act together or
alone in any matter hereunder and with full power of substitution, the true and lawful attorneys-in-fact of
the Employee (individually an “
Attorney
” and collectively the “
Attorneys
”), with full power and authority
in the name of, for and on behalf of, the Employee with respect to all matters arising in connection with the
sale of the Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option, including, but not limited to, the power and
authority on behalf of the Employee to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to sell such Shares (to
be represented by stock option exercise forms executed by the Attorneys) through a broker, including a
transaction in which the broker will act as a principal, at a purchase price per Share as determined by
negotiation between the Company, the Attorneys and the broker and to complete, execute and deliver a
stock power in relation to the sale of the Shares; (ii) to execute and deliver any document that may be
required in connection with the exercise of the Option and deliver the aggregate Exercise Price and
applicable withholding taxes to the Company on behalf of the Employee; (iii) on behalf of the Employee, to
make representations and warranties and enter into appropriate agreements to effect the sale of such Shares;
(iv) to instruct the Company’s transfer agent as the Attorneys shall determine on all matters pertaining to the
delivery and custody of certificates for such Shares; (v) to incur or authorize the incurrence of any necessary
or appropriate expense in connection with the sale of such Shares; (vi) if necessary, to endorse (in blank or
otherwise) on behalf of the Employee the certificate(s) representing such Shares and a stock power or
powers attached to such certificate(s); and (vii) to sign such other certificates, documents and agreements
and take any and all other actions as the Attorneys may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the power of attorney granted under this Section 3.3.
Each Attorney may act alone in exercising the rights and powers conferred on the Attorneys.
Each Attorney is hereby empowered to determine in his sole discretion the time or times when, the purpose
for and the manner in which any power herein conferred upon him shall be exercised, and the conditions,
provisions or covenants of any instrument or document which may be executed by him pursuant hereto.
The power of attorney granted under this Section 3.3 is an agency coupled with an interest and all authority
conferred hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall not be terminated by any act of the Employee or by
operation of law, whether by the death, disability or incapacity of the Employee or by the occurrence of any
other event or events.
It is understood that the Attorneys assume no responsibility or liability for any aspect
of offering or selling any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option and shall not be liable for any error of
judgment or for any act done or omitted or for any mistake of fact or law except for the Attorneys’ own
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
It is understood that the Attorneys, in acting pursuant to
this power of attorney, are not acting in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of the Employee and are not required
to, nor will they necessarily, obtain the best available price or the lowest possible fee or commission
when
negotiating or otherwise facilitating any sale of Shares pursuant to this power of attorney.
