The exercise of your option also must comply with all other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations (including any restrictions on exercise required for compliance with Treas . Reg . 1 . 401 (k) - 1 (d)( 3 ), if applicable) . 10.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your option .

You may also transfer your option to a trust if you are considered to be the sole beneficial owner while the option is held in the trust . You and the trustee must enter into transfer and other agreements required by the Company . 12. OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option will be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment . In addition, nothing in your option will obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate .

Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall be your sole responsibility . 14. TAX CONSEQUENCES You hereby agree that the Company does not have a duty to design or administer the Option Plan or its other compensation programs in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities .
