Please note: if your intention
is to resell (or distribute within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933) the shares you acquire through this

the Securities Act of 1933 prior to your exercise of such Option.

*      If
I elect to exercise by exchanging shares I already own, I will constructively return shares that I already own to purchase
the new option shares. If my shares are in certificate form, I must attach a separate statement indicating the certificate number
of the shares I am treating as having exchanged. If the shares are held in “street name” by a registered broker, I
must provide the Company with a notarized statement attesting to the number of shares owned that will be treated as having been
exchanged. I will keep the shares that I already own and treat them as if they are shares acquired by the option exercise. In addition,
I will receive additional shares equal to the difference between the shares I constructively exchange and the total new option
shares that I acquire.
