(iii) Payment by Promissory Note. No promissory note shall be permitted if the exercise of an Option using a promissory note
would be a violation of any law. Any permitted promissory note shall be on such terms, as the Board shall determine at the time the
Option is granted. The Board shall have the authority to permit or require the Optionee to secure any promissory note used to exercise an
Option with the shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Option or with other collateral acceptable to the Company. Unless
otherwise provided by the Board, if the Company at any time is subject to the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or any other governmental entity affecting the extension of credit in connection with the Company's securities,
any promissory note shall comply with such applicable regulations, and the Optionee shall pay the unpaid principal and accrued interest,
if any, to the extent necessary to comply with such applicable regulations.
6.4 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of
an Option, or to accept from the Optionee the tender of, a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company,
equal to all or any part of the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with
respect to such Option or the shares acquired upon the exercise thereof. Alternatively or in addition, in its discretion, the Company shall have the right
to require the Optionee, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, including by means of a Cashless Exercise, to make adequate
provision for any such tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group arising in connection with the Option or the shares acquired
upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock or to release shares of Stock from an escrow established
pursuant to the Option Agreement until the Participating Company Group's tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Optionee.
6.5 Repurchase Rights. Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to a right of first refusal, one or more repurchase options, or other
conditions and restrictions as determined by the Board in its discretion at the time the Option is granted. The Company shall have the right to assign at
any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.
Upon request by the Company, each Optionee shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock
hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such
certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.
6.6 Effect of Termination of Service.
(a)Option Exercisability. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided herein, an Option shall be exercisable after an
Optionee's termination of Service as follows:
(i) Disability. If the Optionee's Service with the Participating Company Group is terminated because of the Disability of the
Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated, may be
