Vesting may also be suspended in accordance with Company policies, as described in Section 5.6 of the Plan.

To the extent this Option is not exercised before the end of the post-termination exercise period, in accordance with the exercise procedures established by the Company, the Option will expire as to all shares remaining subject thereto.

This Agreement (including the Plan, which is incorporated by reference) constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to this Option, and supersedes all prior agreements or promises with respect to the Option. Except as provided in the Plan, this Agreement may be amended only by a written document signed by the Company and you.

Subject to the restrictions on transfer of the Option described in Section 14 of the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding on your permitted successors and assigns (including heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives). All notices required under this Agreement or the Plan must be mailed or hand-delivered to the Company or to you at its or your respective addresses set forth in this Agreement, or at such other address designated in writing by either of the parties to the other.
