• | The closing price remains at or above $xx.xx for 10 consecutive trading days. |
Termination Guidelines
If you terminate employment for reasons other than cause, retirement, death, permanent disability or transferring to another Xxx company, you will have 90 days from the date of termination (or until the expiration of the option term, if that date is less than 90 days from the date of termination) to exercise any vested stock options. Unvested stock options will be forfeited.
If you are terminated for cause, you will forfeit all benefits from the Plan and all options (vested and unvested) will immediately be cancelled.
If you retire, die or become totally and permanently disabled, your stock options will immediately 100% vest upon termination of employment and you (or your beneficiary) will have one year from the date of termination (or until the expiration of the option term, if that date is less than one year from the date of termination) to exercise all vested options.
If you transfer to another Xxx company after a date when any portion of this award has become vested, you will retain the portion that is vested at the time of transfer, but any unvested portion will be forfeited.
If you transfer to another Xxx company prior to a date when any portion of this award has become vested, then a portion of the option award will become vested upon the date of transfer, as follows:
• | None of your award will vest if the transfer date is less than 6 months after the Grant Date. |
• | 20% of your award will vest if the transfer date is at least 6 months but less than 18 months after the Grant Date. |
• | 40% of your award will vest if the transfer date is at least 18 months but less than 30 months after the Grant Date. |
• | 60% of your award will vest if the transfer date is at least 30 months but less than 36 months after the Grant Date. |
