(c) Method of Payment.

(d) Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or other laws or regulations. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to make any representations and warranties to the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation.
5. Investment Representations. Unless the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, in connection with the acquisition of the Option, the Optionee represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Optionee is acquiring the Option, and upon exercise of the Option, Optionee will be acquiring the Shares for investment for his or her own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
(b) The Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares.

(b) Repurchase Right.
(i) Company’s Call Upon Termination of Service. If the Optionee’s service with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company (or its assignee) may, at its option, repurchase up to all the Shares that the Optionee (or his or her estate, heirs or permitted transferees) then hold(s) or thereafter acquire(s) at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of those shares at the time the option described in this Section 7(b) is exercised.
(ii) Exercise of Repurchase Right. The Company (or its assignee) may exercise an option to repurchase Shares pursuant to this Section 7 by delivery of written notice to the holder(s) of such Shares, within the six (6) month period following the later of (1) the termination of the Optionee’s service with the Company, or (2) the expiration of the six (6) month period following the exercise of the Option with respect to the Shares to be repurchased. All the rights of a holder of Shares, other than the right to receive payment in the manner described in Section 7(b)(iii), will terminate as of the date of delivery by the Company of the written notice described in this Section 7(b)(ii). The Optionee will be required to make a representation and warranty in connection with a sale pursuant to this Section 7 that he or she is the owner of the Shares and is able to convey title thereto free and clear of liens, claims or encumbrances.

Upon such delivery, full right, title and interest in such Shares will pass to the Company (or its assignee). If the holder fails to deliver share certificates in accordance with this Section 7(b)(iv), the Company will cancel on its books the certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be transferred and will issue, in lieu thereof and in the name of the Company (or its assignee), a new certificate or certificates representing such Shares.
8. Continuation of Employment or Engagement. Neither the Plan nor this Option Agreement shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue in the service of the Company or limit, in any respect, the right of the Company to discharge or release the Optionee at any time, with or without Cause and with or without notice.
9. Withholding. The Company reserves the right to withhold, in accordance with any applicable laws, from any consideration payable to the Optionee any taxes required to be withheld by federal, state or local law as a result of the grant or exercise of the Option or the sale or other disposition of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Option. If the amount of any consideration payable to the Optionee is insufficient to pay such taxes or if no consideration is payable to the Optionee, then upon the request of the Company, the Optionee (or such other person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof) shall pay to the Company an amount sufficient for the Company to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding requirements the Company may incur as a result of the grant or exercise of the Option or the sale or other disposition of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Option.
