5.                 
Who May Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3 and 4 above, during the lifetime
of the Participant, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant, or by the Participant’s guardian or personal
or legal representative. If the Participant’s termination of service is due to his death prior to the dates specified in
Section 4.a. hereof, and the Participant has not exercised the Stock Option as to the maximum number of vested Optioned
Shares as set forth in Section 3 hereof as of the date of death, the following persons may exercise the exercisable
portion of the Stock Option on behalf of the Participant at any time prior to the earliest of the dates specified in Section 4.a.
hereof: the personal representative of his estate, or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Stock Option by bequest
or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Participant; provided that the Stock Option shall remain subject to the other terms
of this Agreement, the Plan, and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.


 


6.                 
No Fractional Shares. The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares, and no fractional Share
shall be issued.


 


7.                 
Manner of Exercise. Subject to such administrative regulations as the Administrator may from time to time adopt,
the Stock Option may be exercised by the delivery of the Exercise Notice to the Company setting forth the number of Shares with
respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised, the date of exercise thereof (the “Exercise Date”)
which shall be at least three (3) days after giving such notice unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed upon. On
the Exercise Date, the Participant shall deliver to the Company consideration with a value equal to the total Exercise Price of
the Shares to be purchased, payable as follows: cash, cashier’s check, or certified check payable to the order of the Company.


 


Upon payment of all
amounts due from the Participant, the Company shall cause certificates for the Optioned Shares then being purchased to be delivered
to the Participant (or the person exercising the Participant’s Stock Option in the event of his death) at its principal business
office promptly after the Exercise Date. The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares shall, however, be subject to the condition
that if at any time the Company shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration, or qualification of the Stock
Option or the Optioned Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the Stock Option or the issuance or purchase
of Shares thereunder, then the Stock Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification,
consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not reasonably acceptable to the Company.


 


If the Participant
fails to pay for any of the Optioned Shares specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, then the Stock Option,
and right to purchase such Optioned Shares may be forfeited by the Participant.

name for the Shares. The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided
in Section 10 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior

by the Company in connection with the issuance of the Shares.

any shares which become purchasable, pursuant to any other plan maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 422 of the Code,

date of grant with respect to shares obtainable pursuant to another plan maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 422 of the
Code, which exceeds $100,000, shall constitute a portion of the Stock Option or options which shall be reclassified as options
which are not Incentive Stock Options pursuant to Section 422(d) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, this Stock Option shall only be treated as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Code if it is exercised by the Participant (or as applicable, his guardian or personal or legal representative) within the
time periods required by Section 422(a)(2) of the Code, Section 422(c)(6) of the Code, and any regulations issued under such Sections.


 


12.             
Disqualifying Disposition. In the event that Shares acquired upon exercise of this Stock Option is disposed of by
the Participant in a “Disqualifying Disposition,” the Participant shall notify the Company in writing within thirty
(30) days after such disposition of the date and terms of such disposition. For purposes hereof, “Disqualifying Disposition”
shall mean a disposition of Shares that are acquired upon the exercise of this Stock Option (and that is not deemed granted pursuant
to an option which is not an Incentive Stock Option under Section 11) prior to the expiration of either two (2) years from the
Date of Grant of this Stock Option or one (1) year from the transfer of Shares to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of this
Stock Option.


 


13.             
Voting. The Participant, as record holder of some or all of the Optioned Shares following exercise of this Stock
Option, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Optioned Shares until such time as the Optioned Shares
are transferred in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section shall not create any voting right where
the holders of such Optioned Shares otherwise have no such right.


 


14.             
Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this
Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. The remedy of specific performance
shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.

Participant’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees
that he will not exercise the Stock Option granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any Shares to the
