Death of Optionee If the Optionee shall die while in the employ of the Company, Optionee's personal representative or the person entitled to Optionee's rights hereunder may at any time within six (6) months after the date of Optionee's death, or during the remaining term of this Option, whichever is the lesser, exercise this Option and purchase Shares to the extent, but only to the extent, that Optionee could have exercised this Option as of the date of Optionee's death; provided, in any case, that this Option may be so exercised only to the extent that this Option has not previously been exercised by Optionee.
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.
Upon Death or Disability If the Executive dies, all provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement (other than rights or benefits arising as a result of such death) and the Employment Term shall be automatically terminated; provided, however, that an amount equal to the earned and unpaid Incentive Payments to the date of death and the Standard Termination Payments shall be paid to the Executive’s surviving spouse or, if none, the Executive’s estate (as set forth above), and the death benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans shall be paid to the Executive’s beneficiary or beneficiaries as properly designated in writing by the Executive. If the Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job under this Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of physical or mental disability or incapacity (“Disability”) and such disability or incapacity shall have continued for any period aggregating six months within any 12 consecutive months, the Company may terminate this Agreement and the Employment Term at any time thereafter. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Executive’s normal compensation hereunder during said time of disability or incapacity, and shall thereafter be entitled to receive the “Disability Incentive Payment” (as described in the penultimate sentence of this subsection (b)) and the Standard Termination Payments (as set forth above). The portion of the payment representing the Disability Incentive Payment shall be paid in a lump sum determined on a net present value basis, using a reasonable discount rate determined by the Board. The Disability Incentive Payment shall be equal to the target Incentive Payment that the Executive would have been eligible to receive for the year in which the Employment Term is terminated multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year before and including the day of termination of the Employment Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such year. Subject to Section 19 below, the Disability Incentive Payment shall be payable in a lump sum on the 60th day after termination of the Executive’s employment.
Disability of Optionee If the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, this Option may be exercised for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of this Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
Termination Upon Death of Executive Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be terminated upon the death of Executive. In such case, the Employer shall be obligated to pay to the surviving spouse of Executive, or if there is none, to the Executive’s estate: (i) that portion of Executive’s Base Salary that would otherwise have been paid to him for the month in which his death occurred, and (ii) any amounts due him pursuant to the Northrim Bank Savings Incentive Plan (401-K) and the Northrim BanCorp, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan, any supplemental deferred compensation plan, and any other death, insurance, employee benefit plan or stock benefit plan provided to Executive by the Employer, according to the terms of the respective plans.
Rights of Optionee The Optionee shall not be, nor shall he have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any of the shares issuable upon the exercise of this Option unless and until certificates representing such shares shall have been issued and delivered; except that the Company shall supply the Optionee with all financial information and other reports which the Company furnished its stockholders during the Option period.
Termination Upon Death or Disability If the Executive dies during the Term, the Term shall terminate as of the date of death. If there is a good faith determination by the Board that the Executive has become physically or mentally incapable of performing his duties under the Agreement and such disability has disabled the Executive for a cumulative period of 180 days within any 12-month period (a “Disability”), the Company shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to terminate the employment of the Executive upon notice in writing to the Executive. Upon Executive’s death or in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated due to his Disability, Executive or his estate or his beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to: (i) all accrued but unpaid Annual Salary through the date of termination of Executive’s employment, (ii) any unpaid or unreimbursed expenses incurred in accordance with hereof, (iii) any benefits provided under the Company’s employee benefit plans upon a termination of employment, in accordance with the terms contained therein (the payments and benefits referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above, collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”), (iv) any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect of any completed fiscal year that had ended prior to the date of such termination, which amount shall be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, but in no event later than March 15 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which such termination occurred; (v) an amount equal to the target Annual Bonus, prorated to reflect the partial year of employment, which amount shall be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, but in no event later than March 15 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which such termination occurred (subject to Section 7.15 of this Agreement) and (vi) all outstanding equity (or equity-based) incentives and awards held by the Executive shall thereupon vest and become free of restrictions and all stock options shall be exercisable in accordance with their terms. Following the Executive’s death or a termination of the Executive’s employment by reason of a Disability, except as set forth in this Section 4, the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(iv) The date which is six (6) months from the date of the Optionee’s death or the date the Optionee is determined by the Company to be unable to perform his or her duties as an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company as a result of any mental or physical disability that is expected to result in death or that is expected to last for a continuous period of twelve (12) months or more (the “Disability Determination Date”).
(b) The Optionee’s right to exercise any options that have not vested and are not exercisable shall terminate on the earliest of the following dates:

(iii) The date of the Optionee’s death or the Disability Determination Date, as applicable.
(c) For purposes of this Section 7, the Optionee will be deemed not to have ceased to act as an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (the “Original Position”) if the Optionee continues to act as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in some other capacity immediately upon ceasing to act in the Original Position.
(d) Also notwithstanding the forgoing, if the Optionee dies after he or she ceases to be an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for reasons other than a termination for Cause or for disability in accordance with the above, the Optionee’s right to exercise any options that have vested and are exercisable on the date the Optionee ceases to be an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall terminate on the earliest of the Expiration Date and the date which is six (6) months after the date of death.

(a) a certified copy of the death certificate; and
(b) any evidence of the legal representative’s status that the Escrow Agent may reasonably require.
Termination of Options The Options will terminate at the time specified below:

(b) If, in the absence of a Change in Control after the Grant Date, the Grantee’s Separation occurs prior to the Close of Business on December 31, 2020 on account of a termination of the Grantee’s employment or service for Cause, all Options that are not vested and exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Separation will terminate at the Close of Business on the date of Separation.

In any event in which Options remain exercisable for a period of time following the date of the Grantee’s Separation as provided above, the Options may be exercised during such period of time only to the extent the same were vested and exercisable as provided in Section 3 above on such date of Separation (after giving effect to the application of Section 7 above).
