(a) To the extent that all or a portion of the Stock Option has vested, it may be exercised as to such vested amount by delivery to the Company of a written or electronic notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), stating the number of whole shares to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement; the Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Fractional share interests, if any, shall be disregarded except that they may be accumulated.
(b) The exercise price of the Stock Option shall be paid:
(i) in cash or by certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company;
(ii) by delivering, along with a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate exercise price and, if requested by the Optionee, the amount of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes required to be withheld by the Company, provided, however, that such exercise may be implemented solely under a program or arrangement established and approved by the Company with a brokerage firm selected by the Company;
(iii) at any time prior to the Company’s listing of any of its securities for trading on a national stock exchange, pursuant to “a net issue” or “cashless” exercise pursuant to Section 3(c) below; or,
(iv) by any other procedure approved by the Board or its Compensation Committee, if any, or by a combination of the foregoing.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) (iii) above, in lieu of exercising this Stock Option pursuant to Section 3(b) (i) and (ii) above the Optionee may elect to receive Option Shares equal to the value of this Stock Option (or portion thereof being exercised) by delivery of the Exercise Notice together with this Stock Option Agreement to the Company, in which event the Company shall issue to the Optionee a number of Option Shares computed using the following formula:

(ii) If the Company’s Common Stock is not so publicly traded, the per share fair market value of the Option Shares shall be such fair market value as is determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company after taking into consideration factors it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the capital stock of the Company in private transactions negotiated at arm’s length.

OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED THE COMPANY RELATIONSHIP FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE RELATIONSHIP AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
11. Other Restrictions.
11.1 Board Discretionary Action. The exercise of the Stock Option shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Board or its Compensation Committee, if any, shall determine that (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or (ii) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body or (iii) an agreement by the Optionee with respect to the disposition of shares of Common Stock is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, such exercise or the delivery or purchase of shares pursuant thereto, then in any such event, such exercise shall not be effective unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval or agreement shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board or its Compensation Committee, if any.

THE OPTIONEE IS CAUTIONED THAT THE STOCK OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. ACCORDINGLY, THE OPTIONEE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED EVEN THOUGH THE STOCK OPTION IS VESTED.

The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares subject to the Stock Option shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of the Stock Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

The Company may, but will in no event be obligated to, register any securities issuable upon the exercise of all or any portion of the Stock Option pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (as now in effect or as hereafter amended) or to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Stock Option or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. The certificates representing shares issued to Optionee hereunder shall bear such legends as Company determines appropriate referring to restrictions on the transfer of such shares imposed by this Agreement and such other legends as are required or appropriate under applicable law.
11.4 Trading Restrictions. The Company may establish periods from time to time during which the Optionee’s ability to engage in transactions involving the Company’s stock is subject to specific restrictions (“Restricted Periods”).
