6. Persons Entitled to Exercise. This Option can only be exercised by the Optionee, an attorney working with the Optionee, or the estate of the Optionee, otherwise neither this Option nor any right hereunder can be transferred other than by testamentary disposition or the laws of descent and distribution. Neither this Option nor any right hereunder shall be subject to lien, attachment, execution, or similar process.

7. Adjustment to Number of Shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option shall be adjusted to take into account any stock split or recapitalization of the Common Stock of the Company as provided in the Stock Option Plan.
8. Method of Exercise. This Option may be exercised, in accordance with all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Option and the Stock Option Plan, by delivery of a Notice of Exercise, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference, setting forth the number of Options to be exercised along with a certified check or bank check payable to the order of the Company in the amount of the full exercise price of the Common Stock being purchased, or through any other acceptable payment method set forth in the Stock Option Plan (including, but not limited to, cashless exercise).

11. Restrictions on Transfer. The Option and the Common Stock subject to the Option (collectively referred to as the “Securities”) are subject to registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities statutes. Optionee acknowledges that unless a registration statement with respect to the Securities is filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the appropriate state governing agency, the Securities have or will be issued in reliance on specific exemptions from such registration requirements for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering and specific exemptions under state statutes. Any disposition of the Securities may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with such exemptions. The Securities may be offered for sale, sold, or otherwise transferred only if (i) registered under the Securities Act, and in some cases, under the applicable state securities acts, or, if not registered, (ii) only if pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements and only after the Optionee provides an opinion of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Company to the effect that registration is not required. In some states, specific conditions must be met or approval of the securities regulatory authorities may be required before any such offer or sale. If Rule 144 is available (and no assurance is given that it will be), only routine sales of the Common Stock in limited amounts can be made after six months following the acquisition date of the Securities, as determined under Rule 144(d), in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144. The Company is under no obligation to make Rule 144 available. In the event Rule 144 is not available, compliance with Regulation A or some other disclosure exemption may be required before the Optionee can sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Securities without registration. The Company and its registrar and transfer agent will maintain a stop transfer order against the transfer of the Securities, and any certificate representing the Securities will bear a legend in substantially the following form so restricting the sale or other transfer thereof:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
If the Securities are not registered, the Company may refuse to transfer the Securities to any transferee who does not furnish in writing to the Company the same representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph and agree to the same conditions with respect to such Securities as are set forth herein. The Company may further refuse to transfer the Securities if certain circumstances are present reasonably indicating that the proposed transferee’s representations are not accurate. In any event, in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Securities, the Company may refuse to consent to any transfer in the absence of an opinion of legal counsel, satisfactory to and independent of counsel of the Company, that such proposed transfer is consistent with the above conditions and applicable securities laws.

12. Record Owner. The Company may deem the Optionee as the absolute owner of this Option for all purposes. This Option is exercisable only by the Optionee or, by the Optionee’s duly designated or appointed representative. This Option is not assignable.
13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
14. Validity and Construction. The validity and construction of this Option shall be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware.
