4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Option or the Plan, in the event that this Option is not accepted by the Optionee on or before the date that is 180 days from the grant date noted herein (the “Forfeiture Date”), then this Option shall become null and void and all Shares subject to this Award shall be forfeited by the Optionee as of the Forfeiture Date.
