|   | Once vested, Options shall not terminate until fully exercised.  In the event that Optionee dies prior to fully exercising the Options, the legal representative
of such Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Options.

|6. | The Options may not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other
law or valid regulation.

|7. | In the event that the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Act, whether for its own account or for the account of other
securityholders or both (except with respect to registration statements on Form S-4 or another form not available for registering the Shares), the Company shall, on each such occasion, give written notice to the Optionee of its intention to do
so.  Upon the written request of the Optionee, given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, the Company will cause the Shares as to which registration has been requested to be covered by such Registration Statement in order to
permit the sale or other disposition by the Optionee.
