Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any portion of the Option vest before the date six (6) months after the date of grant of the Option.

This option may not be exercised if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulations, or if such issuance would not comply with the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation.

If Optionee ceases to serve as a Director, Optionee may, but only within ninety (90) days after the date Optionee ceases to be a Director of the Company, exercise this Option to the extent that Optionee was entitled to exercise this Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6 above, if Optionee is unable to continue his or her service as a Director as a result of his or her total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code), Optionee may, but only within six (6) months from the date of termination, exercise this Option to the extent Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise this Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

In the event of the death of Optionee:

(a)      during the term of this Option and while a Director of the Company and having been in Continuous Status as a Director since the date of grant of this Option, the Option may be exercised, at any time within six (6) months following the date of death, by Optionee’s estate of by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that would have accrued had Optionee continued living and remain in Continuos Status as Director for six (6) months after the date of death; or

(b)      within one (1) month after the termination of Optionee’s Continuos Status as a Director, this Option may be exercised, at any time within six (6) months following the date of death, by Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accrued at the date of termination.

This Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will of by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder. The designation of a beneficiary by the Optionee does not constitute a transfer. This Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee or a transferee permitted by this Section 9. The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

This option may not be exercised more than five (5) years from the date of grant of this Option, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.
