6.            NON-ASSIGNABILITY OF OPTION. The Option shall not be given, granted, sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or ­otherwise encumbered or disposed of by Optionee, excepting by Will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of Optionee, shall not be exercisable by any other person, but only by Optionee.
