Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof, Optionee no longer serves on the Board of Directors of the Company, this option shall expire thirty (30) days from the date of such termination of service; and (ii) if, at any time on or after the first anniversary of the date hereof, and prior to the fourth anniversary of the date hereof, Optionee no longer serves on the Board of Directors of the Company, this option shall expire one year from the date of such termination of service.
