    (a)    Except as set forth in Section 12(b) below, Awards granted under the Plan, and any rights and privileges pertaining thereto, may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner, or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

    (b)    Notwithstanding Section 12(a), a Participant, at any time prior to his or her death, may assign all or any portion of an outstanding NSO to (i) his or her spouse or lineal descendant, (ii) the trustee of a trust for the primary benefit of his or her spouse or lineal descendant, (iii) a partnership of which his or her spouse and lineal descendants are the only partners, or (iv) a tax exempt organization as described in Section 50l(c)(3) of the Code. In such event, the transferee shall be entitled to all of the rights of the Participant with respect to the assigned portion of such NSO, and such portion of the NSO shall continue to be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the NSO, as set forth herein, and in the related Stock Option Agreement, immediately prior to the effective date of the assignment. Any such assignment will be permitted only if the Participant does not receive any consideration therefor, and the assignment is expressly approved by the Company.
