(b) Right to Exercise.

(i) Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) below and except as otherwise provided herein, the Optionee may exercise the Option with respect to any Vested Shares until the expiration of the Option term set forth in Section 7 below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of subparagraph (ii) and (iii) below and except as otherwise provided herein, at the election of the Optionee, the Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time as to the Shares which have not vested, provided that the Optionee shall, as a condition of such exercise, execute and deliver the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company shall be granted a Repurchase Option as to all Unvested Shares (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

(iv) The Optionee hereby authorizes and directs the Secretary of the Company to transfer so many of the Shares represented by such certificate(s) as are necessary to pay the aggregate Option Price in accordance with the provisions herein;

(v) If any such transfer of Shares requires the consent of the California Commissioner of Corporations or of some other agency under the securities laws of any other state, or an opinion of counsel for the Company or Optionee that such transfer may be effected under applicable Federal and state securities laws, the time periods specified herein shall be extended for such periods as the necessary request for consent to transfer is pending before said Commissioner or other agency, or until counsel renders such an opinion, as the case may be.  All parties agree to cooperate in making such request for transfer, or in obtaining such opinion of counsel, and no transfer shall be effected without such consent or opinion if required by law; and

6. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger.  The number of Shares covered by this Option and the Option Price per Share shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan in the event of changes in the capitalization or organization of the Company, or if the Company is a party to a merger or other corporate reorganization.
