Common use of Potential Termination Clause in Contracts

Potential Termination. Certain conditions must be satisfied prior to the consummation of the Merger. If the Merger is not consummated or if the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the consummation of the Merger, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no effect. In such case, the Stock Options will not be canceled, but will instead remain in full force and effect pursuant to their terms (including vesting requirements without any acceleration), and the Optionee’s rights in connection with the Stock Options will remain subject to all of the provisions of the 2009 Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement(s) between Company and the Optionee.
