Expiration. (a)In no event shall all or any portion of the Option be exercisable after the tenth annual anniversary of the Date of Grant (such ten-year period, the "Option Period"); provided, that if the Option Period would expire at a time when trading in the shares of Common Stock is prohibited by the Company's securities trading policy (or Company-imposed "blackout period"), the Option Period shall be automatically extended until the 30th day following the expiration of such prohibition (but not to the e...xtent that any such extension would otherwise violate Section 409A of the Code). (b)If, prior to the end of the Option Period, the Participant's employment with, or engagement to provide services to, the Company and all Affiliates is terminated without Cause or by the Participant for any reason, then the Option shall expire on the earlier of the last day of the Option Period or the date that is 90 days after the date of such termination; provided, however, that if the Participant's employment with, or engagement to provide services to, the Company and its Affiliates is terminated and the Participant is subsequently rehired, reappointed or reengaged by the Company or any Affiliate within 90 days following such termination and prior to the expiration of the Option, the Participant shall not be considered to have undergone a termination of employment or service, as applicable. In the event of a termination described in this subsection (b), the Option shall remain exercisable by the Participant until its expiration only to the extent that the Option was exercisable at the time of such termination. (c)If (i) the Participant's employment with, or engagement to provide services to, the Company is terminated prior to the end of the Option Period on account of his or her Disability, (ii) the Participant dies while still in the employ or engagement of the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the Participant dies following a termination described in subsection (b) above but prior to the expiration of the Option, the Option shall expire on the earlier of the last day of the Option Period or the date that is one (1) year after the date of death or termination on account of Disability of the Participant, as applicable. In such event, the Option shall remain exercisable by the Participant or Participant's beneficiary, as applicable, until its expiration only to the extent that the Option was exercisable by the Participant at the time of such event. (d)If the Participant ceases employment with, or engagement to provide services to, the Company or any Affiliates due to a termination for Cause, the Option (whether vested or unvested) shall expire immediately upon such termination.
