Common use of Termination of Employment or Death of Optionee Clause in Contracts

Termination of Employment or Death of Optionee. The Option, as to any Shares not theretofore purchased, shall terminate on the earlier of the Expiration Date or 30 days after the Optionee is no longer employed by the Company or a Subsidiary (as defined in the Plan); provided, however, that if such termination of employment results from (i) the Optionee’s death or disability, the Option may be exercised as to vested Shares as of the date of such termination of employment within three (3) months thereafter (but in no event later than the Expiration Date) by the Optionee’s executors, administrators, personal representatives, or any person or persons to whom the Option may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the time of such termination of Optionee’s employment or (ii) the Optionee’s termination for Cause (as defined below), the Option (as to all vested and unvested Shares) shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect. Following the termination of the Optionee’s employment and prior to the termination of the Option, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Option may only be exercised as to vested Shares as of the date of the termination of the Optionee’s employment. The Option does not confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company, nor shall it interfere with any right of the Company to terminate such employment at any time or any employee’s “employee-at-will” status.
