WHOLE SHARES. You may exercise your Option only for whole shares of the Company's Common Stock. 5. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your Option unless the shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of the Company's Common Stock are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your Option must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your Option, and you may not exercise your Option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations. 6.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Continuous Status" shall mean your service with the Company as a director, officer, consultant or an employee is not interrupted or terminated. Your Continuous Service shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which you render service to the Company or an affiliate of the Company as an employee, consultant, officer or Director or a change in the entity for which you render such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of your Continuous Service. The Board in its sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave. 7. EXERCISE. (a) You may exercise the vested portion of your Option during its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require. (b) By exercising your Option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your Option, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of (1) the exercise of your Option, (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the shares of the Company's Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (3) the disposition of shares of the Company's Common Stock acquired upon such exercise. 8. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK. (a) CAPITALIZATION ADJUSTMENTS. If any change is made in the Company's Common Stock subject to your Option, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), the number of shares issuable upon exercise of your Option and the exercise price per share of the Company's Common Stock subject to your Option will be proportionately adjusted. The Company's Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction "without receipt of consideration" by the Company.) 4 (b) CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below), the vesting of your Option (and, if applicable, the time during which such Option may be exercised) shall thereupon be accelerated in full and shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to such event. For the purposes of this Agreement a Change in Control shall mean: (i) any "person" (as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) or group of persons acting in concert shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities; (ii) the consummation of any consolidation or merger of either the Company through which the holders of the Company's (as applicable) issued and outstanding voting shares immediately prior to the merger have less than 50% of the issued and outstanding voting shares, on a converted basis, of the surviving or continuing corporation after the merger; or (iii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company. 9. TRANSFERABILITY. Your Option is not transferable without the prior written consent of the Company, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 10. AVAILABILITY OF SHARES. Commencing on the first anniversary of the Grant Date of your Option and at all times thereafter, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock required to satisfy your Option. 11. OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, as defined under the Securities Act ("Affiliate"), or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your Option shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective shareholders, boards of directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a director or consultant for the Company or an Affiliate. 12. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. (a) At the time you exercise your Option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a "cashless exercise" pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with your Option. (b) Upon your request and subject to approval by the Company, in its sole discretion, and compliance with any applicable conditions or restrictions of law, the Company may withhold from fully vested shares of the Company's Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your Option a number of whole shares of the Company's Common Stock having a fair market value, determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law. (c) You may not exercise your Option unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied. Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your Option when desired even though your Option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares of the Company's Common Stock. 13. NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your Option or the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by mail to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company. 14. AMENDMENT OF OPTIONS. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of your Option; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the rights under your Option shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless without your prior written consent. 5 15.
