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.
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.
Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
Unvested Options Each unvested outstanding Company Option held by a Continuing Employee (each an “Unvested Company Option”) shall be assumed by Parent (the “Assumed Options”) and will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Unvested Company Option documents (including any applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Unvested Company Option, including but not limited to any employment or other agreement providing for accelerated vesting or other terms governing such Assumed Options) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that (i) each such Unvested Company Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Conversion Rate (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Parent Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding), and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Unvested Company Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Unvested Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Rate, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The assumption and conversion of Unvested Company Options by Parent are intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.424-1 (to the extent such options were incentive stock options) and of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). Following the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Parent or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Option and references to Company shall become references to Parent under the applicable Company Option Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Assumed Option. Each unvested outstanding Company Option that is not an Unvested Company Option shall be treated as a Cancelled Option and shall be cancelled and extinguished, with no consideration payable in connection with such cancellation and no further rights to the holder thereof, at the Effective Time.
Vesting and Exercisability of Option The Option shall vest, and may be exercised, with respect to the Shares as set forth in the Optionee Statement attached hereto and made a part hereof, subject to earlier termination of the Option as provided in Sections 1.4 and 6 hereof or in the Plan. The right to purchase the Shares as they become vested shall be cumulative and shall continue during the Exercise Term unless sooner terminated as provided herein.
Vested Options Each vested outstanding Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cashed-Out Options”) shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Option Consideration after which it shall be cancelled and extinguished. If the Per Share Conversion Common Amount does not exceed the per share exercise price of each such outstanding Company Option, then such Company Option shall be cancelled and extinguished, with no consideration payable in connection with such cancellation and no further rights to the holder thereof (the “Cancelled Options”) and such Company Option shall not be deemed a Cashed-Out Option. Company shall take any and all necessary action to provide for the cancellation of each Company Option in accordance with this Section 1.6(b)(i). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, through its payroll system on a special payroll run on the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall or shall direct its payroll agent to, in accordance with its customary payroll practices, pay to each holder of a Cashed-Out Option that was granted to the holder in the holder’s capacity as an employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries for applicable employment Tax purposes (“Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder”) the applicable portion of the Option Consideration (subject to applicable withholding Taxes) payable in respect of each such Cashed-Out Option (“Employee Option Consideration”); provided, that, if any such Employee Cashed-Out Holder has not executed and delivered to Parent a Cashed-Out Option Agreement (a “Cashed-Out Option Agreement”) in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT I, as of such date, the payment to such Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery to Parent of a Cashed-Out Option Agreement. Each holder of a Cashed-Out Option that was granted to the holder in the holder’s capacity as a non-employee service provider to Company or any of its Subsidiaries for applicable employment Tax purposes (“Non-Employee Cashed-Out Option Holder”) shall be paid the applicable portion of the Option Consideration by the Exchange Agent in the manner provided in Section 1.11. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Option Consideration payable with respect to any Cashed-Out Options. In no event shall any Cashed-Out Option or Cancelled Option be assumed by Parent.
Exercisability of Option Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, this Option shall entitle the Participant to purchase, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, to the extent the Option is vested in accordance with the vesting schedule herein, the Shares subject to this Option, and each such right of purchase shall be cumulative and shall continue, unless sooner exercised or terminated as herein provided, during the remaining Option Period.

(b) The tenth anniversary of the Grant Date if the Optionee's employment is terminated by reason of death or Permanent Disability;

At least ten days prior to the effective date of such merger, consolidation, exchange, acquisition, recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation or dissolution, the Committee shall give the Optionee notice of such event if the Option has then neither been previously fully exercised nor become unexercisable under this Section 3.2.
