Common use of Continuance of Service Clause in Contracts

Continuance of Service. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 7 below, the vesting schedule requires continued Service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Agreement; and Service for only a portion of any vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of Participant’s Service as provided in Section 7 below or under the Plan for such vesting period (or for any later vesting period). Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Corporation, affects the contractual obligations pursuant to any employment or service commitment agreement if Participant is party to such agreement, or in the absence of such agreement affects Participant’s status as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Participant any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any Subsidiary Corporation, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Corporation at any time to terminate Participant’s Service, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Corporation to increase or decrease the Participant’s other compensation or benefits. Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his consent thereto.
