Term of the Option. The term of the Option (the “Option Period”) shall be for a period of ten (10) years from the Effective Date, terminating at the close of business on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Expiration Date”) or such shorter period as provided in Section 6 hereof.
Term of the Option. Unless the Option terminates earlier pursuant to other provisions of the Option Agreement, the Option shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”).
Term of the Option. (a) The Option shall be exercisable, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 hereof, through the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, unless terminated earlier as provided herein.
(b) Except as may be provided pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 4, if the Option Holder’s employment is terminated by reason of the Option Holder’s Disability or Retirement, or if the Option Holder shall die while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary Corporation, the Option may, to the extent otherwise exercisable pursuant to Section 2 above on the date of such termination or death, be exercised by the Option Holder or the Option Holder’s estate or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or otherwise by reason of the death or Disability of the Option Holder, at any time within three years after the date of death or termination of employment by reason of Disability or Retirement, but in any event not beyond the date on which the Option would otherwise expire pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 4.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 4, and except as may be provided in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 4, the Option may not be exercised unless the Option Holder is then in the employ or service of the Company or one of its divisions or Subsidiary Corporations, and unless the Option Holder has remained continuously so employed or in service since the Grant Date. In the event the Option Holder’s employment or service is terminated or ceases for any reason other than the Option Holder’s death, Disability or Retirement, all Options shall, to the extent not theretofore exercised or canceled, terminate immediately upon such separation of employment or cessation of service, as applicable.
(d) The period for exercise of the Option may be extended by, and in the sole discretion of, the Committee in accordance with the Plan, but in any event not longer than the term set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 4.

The Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised on the first to occur of (a) the date ten (10) years after the Date of Option Grant (the "Option Term Date"), (b) the last date for exercising the Option following termination of the Optionee's employment as described in paragraph 4(g), or (c) a Transfer of Control of the Company to the extent provided in paragraph 4(h) below.
Term of the Option. This Option will expire ten (10) years from the Grant Date, unless sooner terminated, forfeited, or canceled in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. This means that the Option must be exercised, if at all, on or before the expiration date. This expiration date is indicated in the Awardee’s External Administrator account.

Term of the Option. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent not previously exercised, the right to exercise the Option shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of grant.

To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option at the date of such termination, or if he or she does not exercise such Option (which he or she was entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
Term of the Option. The Option will commence on the date hereof and will terminate on October 15, 2001 (the "Effective Date").
