I think you have the option to call the broker and tell them that you don't want to exercise the option. ( I read it somewhere on Etrade website)

For example, an October 25 call will be automatically exercised if the underlying security's closing price is $25.05 or greater at expiration. In this hypothetical illustration, you would need to notify your broker ONLY if: An underlying security's closing price is below $25.05 and you want to exercise the call option. The underlying security's closing price is $25.05 or greater at expiration and you do not want to exercise the call option. Do-not-exercise instructions can be accepted only on the last day of trading of that options' duration
