SHALL CONFER UPON ANY EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT OF THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATE ANY
RIGHT WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTINUANCE OF HIS OR HER EMPLOYMENT BY, OR OTHER

THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATE TO TERMINATE THE EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT OR
OTHERWISE CHANGE THE TERMS OF SERVICE. NO PARTICIPANT OR DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY
SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK TO BE ISSUED UNDER THE PLAN OR ANY OPTION UNTIL HE OR SHE BECOMES THE
HOLDER THEREOF. THE LOSS OF EXISTING OR POTENTIAL PROFIT IN AN OPTION GRANT
SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN ELEMENT OF DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE FOR ANY REASON, EVEN IF THE TERMINATION IS IN VIOLATION OF
AN OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATE TO THE PARTICIPANT.
