The ISOP is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of Options under the ISOP is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive any other grant of Options or other awards under the ISOP in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the timing of the grant, the form of award, number of shares subject to an award, vesting, and exercise or settlement provisions, as relevant.
 
9.6.

Subject to the provisions of the ISOP as may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Company, to which this Award Agreement is subject, this Award Agreement, together with the exhibits hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the Optionee and the Company with respect to Options granted hereunder, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the Optionee and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof.
 
9.7.
No Waiver; Severability. The failure of any party to enforce at any time any provisions of this Award Agreement or the ISOP shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. If one or more of the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be held unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected; to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be revised retroactively to permit the provisions herein to be interpreted to carry out their intent and the intent of this Award Agreement and the ISOP.
 
9.8.
Provisions of the ISOP. The Options provided for herein are granted pursuant to the ISOP and said Options and this Award Agreement are in all respects governed by the ISOP and subject to all of the terms and provisions of the ISOP. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the ISOP and this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the ISOP shall prevail.
