EXCLUSIVITY OF OPTION This Option to Purchase Agreement is exclusive and non-assignable and exists solely for the benefit of the named parties above. Should Buyer/Tenant attempt to assign, convey, delegate, or transfer this option to purchase without the Seller/Landlord’s express written permission, any such attempt shall be deemed null and void.
Assignment of Option Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, the rights of the Optionee under the Plan and this Agreement are personal; no assignment or transfer of the Optionee’s rights under and interest in this Option may be made by the Optionee otherwise than by will, by beneficiary designation, by the laws of descent and distribution or by a qualified domestic relations order; and this Option is exercisable during his lifetime only by the Optionee, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

In connection with the issuance of Exchange Options, the Surviving Corporation shall (a) reserve for issuance the number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock that will become subject to Exchange Options pursuant to this Section 1.9 and (b) from and after the Merger Effective Time, upon exercise of Exchange Options, make available for issuance all shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock covered thereby, subject to the terms and conditions applicable thereto. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Xxxxxx, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, as applicable, shall adopt resolutions consistent with the interpretive guidance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and any other applicable securities regulatory authorities so that the disposition of the Options and the acquisition of the Exchange Options, any shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock or any other equity securities or derivative securities of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Agreement by any officer or director of Xxxxxx who may become a covered person of the Surviving Corporation for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Exchange Act"), shall be exempt for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Restricted stock units with respect to Xxxxxx Common Stock and other incentive compensation awards (including awards under the LTAP (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement)) payable in, or determined by reference to, shares of Xxxxxx Common Stock will be converted into an equal number of restricted stock units (or incentive compensation awards) with respect to Surviving Corporation Common Stock.
