Effect of Termination of Employment or Death If the Employee goes on leave of absence for a period of greater than twelve months (except a leave of absence approved by the Board of Directors or the Committee) or ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason except death, the portion of the Option which is unexercisable on the date on which the Employee ceased to be an Employee or has been on a leave of absence for over twelve months (except a leave of absence approved by the Board or Committee) shall expire on such date and any unexercised portion of the Options which was otherwise exercisable on such date shall expire at the earlier of (i) the expiration of this Option in accordance with the term for which the Option was granted, or (ii) three months (one year in the case of termination by reason of Disability of the Employee under the terms of the Plan) from such date, except in the case of an Employee who is an “Approved Retiree” as defined below. If Employee is an Approved Retiree, then the Option shall expire at the sooner to occur of, (i) the expiration of such option in accordance with its original term, (ii) the expiration of five years from the date of retirement, or (iii) with respect to Options granted less than one year before the date the Approved Retiree retires, such retirement date, except not with respect to that portion of the Options equal to such number of shares multiplied by the ratio of (a) the number of days between the Grant Date and the retirement date inclusive, over (b) the number of days on and after the Grant Date and before the first anniversary of the Grant Date. In the event of the death of Employee without Approved Retiree status during the three month period following termination of employment or a leave of absence over twelve months (except a leave of absence approved by the Board or Committee), the Option shall be exercisable by the Employee’s personal representative, heirs or legatees to the same extent and during the same period that the Employee could have exercised the Option if the Employee had not died. In the event of the death of Employee while an employee or while an Approved Retiree, the Option (if the waiting period has elapsed) shall be exercisable in its entirety by the Employee’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees at any time prior to the expiration of one year from the date of the death of the Employee, but in no event after the term for which the Option was granted. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Approved Retiree” is any optionee who (i) terminates employment by reason of a Disability, or (ii) (A) retires from employment with the Company with the specific approval of the Committee on or after such date on which the optionee has attained age 55 and completed 10 Years of Service, and (B) has entered into and has not breached an agreement to refrain from Engaging in Competition in form and substance satisfactory to the Committee; and if the Committee subsequently determines, in its sole discretion, that an Approved Retiree has violated the provisions of the Agreement to refrain from Engaging in Competition, or has engaged in willful acts or omissions or acts or omissions of gross negligence that are or potentially are injurious to the Company’s operations, financial condition or business reputation, such Approved Retiree shall have ninety (90) days from the date of such finding within which to exercise any Options or portions thereof which are exercisable on such date, and any Options or portions thereof which are not exercised within such ninety (90) day period shall expire and any Options or portion thereof which are not exercisable on such date shall be cancelled on such date.
Termination by Death or Disability In the event of the Executive’s death or total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) during the Term, the Term and Executive’s employment shall terminate on the date of death or total disability. In the event of such termination, the Company’s sole obligations hereunder to the Executive (or the Executive’s estate) shall be for unpaid Base Salary, accrued but unpaid bonus and benefits (then owed or accrued and owed in the future), a pro-rata bonus for the year of termination based on the Executive’s target bonus for such year and the portion of such year in which the Executive was employed, and reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the terms hereon through the effective date of termination, each of which shall be paid within 10 days following the date of the Executive’s termination, and any unvested portion of any Equity Grants shall immediately be forfeited as of the termination date without any further action of the Parties.
