(a)  

Right to Exercise . This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the above Notice of Option Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

Method of Exercise . This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as EXHIBIT A (the “ Exercise Notice ”) which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company.

Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such 180-day period.
