If, during the term of this Agreement, the Board (or a committee of directors designated by the Board) determines in good faith in its sole discretion that the Optionee’s conduct is or has been in violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, then the Board or committee may cause the Optionee to immediately forfeit all or a portion of the unvested or vested and unexercised Option granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Optionee shall have no right to purchase the related shares of Common Stock.
