funds in payment of the purchase price thereof (except that, in the case of an
exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and described in the last
sentence of this paragraph, payment may be made as soon as practicable after the
exercise). Payments in the form of Common Shares shall be valued at the Fair
Market Value on the date prior to the date of exercise.&#160;&#160;Such payments

Exercise Price upon the exercise of a Stock Option by irrevocably authorizing a
third party to sell Common Shares (or a sufficient portion of the shares)
