 generally terminate three months after termination of a participant’s service unless:

• the stock option agreement by its terms specifically provides otherwise,

• termination is due to the participant’s disability, in which case the stock option may be exercised (to the extent the stock option was exercisable at the time of the termination of service) at any time within 12 months of termination,

• the participant dies while in service, or the participant dies within a specified period after termination of service, in which case the stock option may be exercised (to the extent the stock option was exercisable at the time of the participant’s death) within 12 months of the participant’s death by the person or persons to whom the rights to such stock option have passed, or

• the participant is terminated for cause (as defined under the 2006 Employee Plan), in which case the stock option will terminate and cease to be exercisable (whether vested or unvested) at the time of such termination.

The stock option term may be extended in the event that exercise of the stock option following termination of service is prohibited by applicable securities laws. In no event, however, may a stock option be exercised beyond the expiration of its term.

Restrictions on Transfer. A participant generally may not transfer a stock option other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a domestic relations order. During the lifetime of the participant, only the participant may exercise a stock option (except in instances pursuant to a domestic relations order). A participant may also designate a beneficiary (excluding any third-party financial institution) who may exercise a stock option following the participant’s death.
