Common use of Effect of Termination of Employment or Service Clause in Contracts

Effect of Termination of Employment or Service. The Participant’s Stock Units shall terminate to the extent such units have not become vested prior to the first date the Participant is no longer employed by or in service to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, regardless of the reason for the termination of the Participant’s employment or service with the Corporation or a Subsidiary, whether with or without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily; provided, however, that if the termination of the Participant’s employment or services is due to the Participant’s death or “permanent and total disability” (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Administrator), the Award shall become vested and payable upon the date of such death or disability as to fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding and unvested portion of the Award (and any portion of the Award that is not vested after giving effect to such accelerated vesting shall terminate upon such death or disability). If any unvested Stock Units are terminated hereunder, such Stock Units shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Corporation and without any other action by the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be.
