Non-Qualified Stock Options. Executive’s unvested Non-Qualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”) under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plans shall continue to vest during the Transition Period. For avoidance of doubt, all outstanding NQSOs held by Executive as of the end of the Transition Period will, to the extent exercisable as of such date, remain exercisable for a period of 90 days after such date (but in no event after the expiration date of any such NQSO). Pursuant to the terms of Executive’s Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreements, Executive agrees that any NQSOs that have not vested on or prior to the end of the Transition Period are forfeited and cancelled. For avoidance of doubt, Executive shall not receive any additional NQSOs.

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in a Participant's Award Agreement, no NQSO granted under this Article 6 may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant's Award Agreement, all NQSOs granted to a Participant under this Article 6 shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.

This Agreement replaces any stock option agreement or offer letter previously provided to the Optionee, if any, with respect to these Options. The Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, as amended.

Non-Qualified Stock Option” means an Option that is not an Incentive Stock Option. All Options shall be Non-Qualified Stock Options unless identified as Incentive Stock Options.

Conversion of Incentive Stock Options into Non-Qualified Options; Termination. The Board of Directors, with the consent of any optionee, may in its discretion take such actions as may be necessary to convert such optionee’s Incentive Stock Options (or any installments or portions of installments thereof) that have not been exercised on the date of conversion into non-statutory Options at any time prior to the expiration of such Incentive Stock Options, regardless of whether the optionee is an employee of the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company at the time of such conversion. At the time of such conversion, the Board of Directors (with the consent of the optionee) may impose such conditions on the exercise of the resulting non-statutory Options as the Board of Directors in its discretion may determine, provided that such conditions shall not be inconsistent with this Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give any optionee the right to have such optionee’s Incentive Stock Options converted into non-statutory Options, and no such conversion shall occur until and unless the Board of Directors takes appropriate action. The Board of Directors, with the consent of the optionee, may also terminate any portion of any Incentive Stock Option that has not been exercised at the time of such termination.
