Termination of Option and Acceleration of Vesting Sample Clauses
Related to Termination of Option and Acceleration of Vesting
Acceleration of Vesting (a) In the event your employment with Deluxe is terminated by reason of death, Disability (as defined in the Addendum), or Approved Retirement (as defined in the Addendum) any time during the Restricted Period, all of the yet unvested Units will vest and the Units shall become non-forfeitable as of the date of such termination. (b) Subject to Section 4(c), in the event your employment is terminated during the Restricted Period after the first anniversary of the Award Date by reason of involuntary termination without Cause, a pro rata portion of the next segment of Units scheduled to vest after the termination date (based on the number of completed days between the termination date and the scheduled vesting date immediately prior to the termination date (or the Award Date if there was no such scheduled vesting date) divided by 365) shall vest and become non-forfeitable as of the date of such termination. (c) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement that would result in Units vesting in full or in part at a later date, if, in connection with any Change of Control, the acquiring Person, surviving or acquiring corporation or entity, or an Affiliate of such corporation or entity, elects to assume the obligations of Deluxe under this Agreement and to replace the Shares issuable upon settlement of the Units with other equity securities that are listed on a national securities exchange (including by use of American Depository Receipts or any similar method) and are freely transferable under all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations (“Replacement Equity Securities”), the Units then subject to restriction shall continue to vest as set forth in Section 2, provided, however, the Units shall vest in full and become non-forfeitable if, within twelve months of the date of the Change of Control: (i) Your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause, (ii) Your employment with the Company is terminated by you for Good Reason, or (iii) Vesting would otherwise occur on any earlier date as provided under this Agreement. In the event of any such Change of Control, the number of Replacement Equity Securities issuable under this Agreement shall be determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Plan. In the event of any such Change of Control, all references herein to the Shares shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Replacement Equity Securities, references to Deluxe or the Company shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the issuer of such Replacement Equity Securities, and all other terms of this Agreement shall continue in effect except as and to the extent modified by this subparagraph. (d) If the Change of Control does not meet the continuation or replacement criteria specified in Section 4(c) above, all Units then subject to restriction shall vest in full immediately and become non-forfeitable upon the Change of Control. (e) The provisions of this Section 4 shall be subject to Sections 5(b) and 8.
Termination of Options The Options will terminate at the time specified below: (a) If a Change in Control occurs after the Grant Date but prior to the Grantee’s Separation, all Options will terminate at the expiration of the Term. (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, 2023 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 that time and all Options that are vested and exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Separation will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the 90-day period that began on the date of the Grantee's Separation. (c) If (i) the Grantee’s Separation occurs after the Close of Business on December 31, 2023, or (ii) in the absence of a Change in Control after the Grant Date, the Grantee’s Separation occurs (A) on account of a termination of the Grantee’s employment or service without Cause, (B) on account of a termination of the Grantee’s employment or service by the Grantee with or without Good Reason, or (C) by reason of the death or Disability of the Grantee, then, in each case, all Options that are not vested and exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Separation after giving effect to the provisions of Sections 3 and 7 above will terminate at that time, and all Options that are vested and exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Separation after giving effect to the provisions of Sections 3 and 7 above will terminate at the expiration of the Term. 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). Notwithstanding any period of time referenced in this Section 8 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement that may be construed to the contrary, the Options will in any event terminate not later than upon the expiration of the Term.
Termination of Option (a) The Optionee’s right to exercise any options that have vested and are exercisable shall terminate on the earliest of the following dates: (i) The Expiration Date; (ii) Subject to subsections (c) and (d) below, the date which is six (6) months from the date on which the Optionee ceases to act as an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; (iii) In the event of the termination of the Optionee as an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company as a result of a breach of the Optionee’s obligations to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or as a result of any dishonesty, fraud, misconduct, the unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets, or conviction or confession of a crime punishable by law (except minor violations) (each of which being a termination for “Cause”), the earliest date on which the Optionee is notified by the Company of such termination; and (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: (i) The date the Optionee ceases to act as an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; (ii) In the case of the termination of the Optionee as an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for Cause, on the earliest date on which the Optionee is notified by the Company of such termination; and (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.
Acceleration of Options One hundred (100%) percent of the Executive’s outstanding, unvested options, restricted stock and/or equity awards (“Equity Awards”) shall, immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, become fully and immediately vested to the extent not already so provided under the terms of such Equity Awards; provided, however, that if the acquirer in a Change in Control grants Equity Awards having (in the reasonable opinion of the Board) a value at least equal to the value of Executive’s then-unvested Company Equity Awards, then 50% of the Executive’s outstanding, unvested Company Equity Awards shall become fully and immediately vested immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control (and the remaining 50% shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control). Notwithstanding any provisions of the stock option plan or stock option agreement pursuant to which any stock options subject to the preceding sentence were granted, the Executive shall be entitled to exercise such Equity Awards until three years from the date of termination of employment or the expiration of the stated period of the Equity Award, whichever period is the shorter.
Special Acceleration of Option (a) In the event of a Change in Control, this option, to the extent outstanding at that time but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the Option Shares at the time subject to this option and may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. No such acceleration of this option, however, shall occur if and to the extent: (i) this option is, in connection with the Change in Control, assumed or otherwise continued in full force and effect by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control or (ii) this option is replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in Control on the Option Shares for which this option is not otherwise at that time exercisable (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent pay-out in accordance with the same option exercise schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. (b) Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise expressly continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control. (c) If this option is assumed in connection with a Change in Control, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Change in Control had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. (d) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
Early Termination of Option The Option, to the extent not previously exercised, and all other rights in respect thereof, whether vested and exercisable or not, shall terminate and become null and void prior to the Expiration Date in the event of: • the termination of the Participant’s employment or services as provided in Section 5.6 of the Plan, or • the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Plan.
Suspension of Service and Acceleration If any amount owing by You under this or any other agreement for Our services is 30 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts You have authorized Us to charge to Your credit card), We may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies, accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Our services to You until such amounts are paid in full.
EFFECT OF OPTIONAL TERMINATION Upon the exercise of the option to terminate pursuant to Section 7.2, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that: A. the Parties respective rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Tax Year or Tax Years (as the case may be) through and including the Tax Year during which such notification is delivered to the District, shall not be impaired or modified as a result of such termination and shall survive such termination unless and until satisfied and discharged; and B. the provisions of this Agreement regarding payments (including liquidated damages and tax payments), records and dispute resolution shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Term; Termination of Agreement This Agreement shall continue in force for a period of one year from the date hereof, subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. It is the duty of the Independent Directors to evaluate the performance of the Advisor annually before renewing the Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year.
Forfeiture upon Termination of Status as a Service Provider Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Award Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of the time of Participant’s termination as a Service Provider for any or no reason and Participant’s right to acquire any Shares hereunder will immediately terminate.
