Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability, or Retirement If the Optionee’s termination of employment is due to death, Disability, or Retirement (termination on or after age 65), or if Optionee terminates employment after age 55, the following shall apply:
Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability If the Participant dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for “cause” as specified in paragraph (e) below, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date.
Termination of Employment Due to Retirement In the event of the Retirement of the Participant after nine months of the Performance Cycle have elapsed, the Participant’s Performance Units shall be settled based on the performance for the Performance Cycle and payable on a pro-rata basis as determined and certified by the Board after the close of the Performance Cycle as described below. Subject to the negative discretion of the Board, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payment equal to the product of (i) the pro-rata vesting percentage equal to the days of Participant’s Employment during the Performance Cycle divided by the total days in the Performance Cycle and (ii) the Payout Value. Such payment shall be made as soon as administratively feasible following the Board’s determination under Paragraph 2 and, in all cases, the payment shall be made within the first calendar year following the end of the Performance Cycle. If, in accordance with the Board’s determination under Paragraph 2, the Payout Value is zero, the Participant shall immediately forfeit any and all rights to the Performance Units. Upon the vesting and/or forfeiture of the Performance Units pursuant to this Paragraph 6 and the making of the related cash payment, if any, the rights of the Participant and the obligations of the Company under this Award Agreement shall be satisfied in full. The death of the Participant following Retirement but prior to the close of the Performance Cycle shall have no effect on this Paragraph 6.
Termination of Service Due to Death or Disability If an Awardee’s service on the Board terminates by reason of death or Disability, the restrictions and risk of forfeiture with respect to the Restricted Stock which have not expired shall immediately lapse and all shares of the Restricted Stock shall be deemed fully vested and nonforfeitable.
