6. NO EXERCISE IN VIOLATION OF LAW.

11. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

(a) At the time the Optionee exercises his/her option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Optionee, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any of its affiliates, if any, which arise in connection with the exercise of the Optionee’s respective options.

(b) The Optionee may not exercise his/her respective options unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied.

Optionee has been advised to discuss this investment with his, her or its legal or other professional advisors, or with other investment representatives who have knowledge of business and financial matters.
