Death of Optionee. If Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the death of Optionee, the vested portion of the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death (and in no event later than the expiration date of the term of this Option as set forth in the Grant Notice) by Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance. To the extent that the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee:

Death of Optionee. The Optionee may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive or to exercise any vested options that are unpaid or unexercised at the Optionee’s death. Beneficiaries may be named contingently or successively. A beneficiary designation must be made on a form prescribed by the Board of Directors and will not be effective until filed in writing with the Board of Directors.

Disability or Death of Optionee. Except if Optionee is granted an option as an organizer of the Company, if Optionee loses his or its status as an Eligible Participant under the Plan by reason of death or if Optionee is disabled while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, or if Optionee dies or becomes so disabled during the three-month period referred to in Paragraph 5 hereof, this Stock Option shall automatically expire and terminate one (1) year after the date of Optionee’s disability or death or on the day specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, whichever is earlier. If Optionee is granted an option as an organizer of the Company, this Stock Option shall not expire as a result of such Optionee’s death or disability. After Optionee’s disability or death but before such expiration, the person or persons to whom Optionee’s rights under this Stock Option shall have passed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, or the executor, administrator or conservator of Optionee’s estate, shall have the right to exercise this Stock Option to the extent that increments, if any, had become exercisable as of the date on which Optionee’s status as an Eligible Participant under the Plan had been terminated. For purposes hereof, “disability” shall have the same meaning as set forth in Section 14 of the Plan.

Representations of Optionee. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has received, read and understood the Plan and this Option Agreement and agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions. Optionee represents that Optionee is purchasing the Shares for Optionee’s own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution of any of such Shares.

Disability of Optionee. In the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Service Status as a result of his or her disability (defined as a disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), such Optionee may exercise an Option at any time within twelve (12) months following such termination to the extent the Optionee was vested in the Optioned Stock as of the date of such termination.

Optionee’s Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), at the time this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

if the employment of an optionee as an officer or employee of the Corporation or a subsidiary terminates, by reason of his or her death, or if an optionee who is a retiree pursuant to Section 10(b) dies, the legal personal representatives of the optionee will be entitled to exercise any unexercised vested options, including such stock options that may vest after the date of death, during the period ending at the end of the twelfth calendar month following the calendar month in which the optionee dies, failing which exercise the stock options terminate;

Neither the Options nor the benefits and rights of any Optionee under any Option or under the Plan will be assignable or otherwise transferable, except as specifically provided in [subsection 10.2] in the event of the death of the Optionee. During the lifetime of the Optionee, all such Options, benefits and rights may only be exercised by the Optionee.
