6. Effect of Termination of Employment, Board Membership, or Service Provision or Death

This Option shall not be assignable or transferable either voluntarily or by operation of law, except as set forth in this Section 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Recipient, shall thereafter be the beneficiary of an Option with the right to exercise the Option and receive the Common Stock or other consideration resulting from an Option exercise.

In the event the Recipient during his or her lifetime ceases to be an employee, member of the Board of Directors, or other service provider of the Company or of any subsidiary for any reason, other than death or disability, any unexercised portion of this Option which was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination of Recipient’s employment, Board membership or other service, as the case may be, shall expire unless exercised within three years of that date, but in no event after the expiration of the term hereof.

In the event of termination of employment, Board membership, or service in any other capacity because of the death or disability of the Recipient (i) while an employee, Board member, or service provider of the Company or any subsidiary, or (ii) during the three-month period following termination of his or her employment, status as a director, or status as a service provider for any reason other than death or disability, this Option shall be exercisable for the number of shares otherwise exercisable on the date of death, disability or termination, by the Recipient or his or her personal representatives, heirs or legatees, as the case may be, at any time prior to the expiration of three years from the date of the death or disability of the Recipient, but in no event after the expiration of the term hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Recipient, prior to the termination date of this Option, (i) violates any provision of any employment agreement or any confidentiality or other agreement between the Recipient and the Company, (ii) commits any felony or any crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, (iii) attempts to commit, or participate in, a fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company, or (iv) commits gross misconduct, the right to exercise this Option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to the Recipient from the Company describing such violation or act.

7. Employment, Board Membership or Service

Nothing contained in this Option or in the Plan shall be construed as giving the Recipient any right to be retained in the employ, board membership, or service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

8. Withholding Taxes
