Transferability Clause Example from Business Contracts

Transferability. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, the Option is not transferable by the Participant other than by will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of the Participant, shall be exercisable only by the Participant. No assignment or transfer of the Option, or the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan) shall vest in the assignee... or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer, the Option shall terminate and become of no further effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be transferrable to a Permitted Transferee upon written approval by the Committee. In addition, the Participant may, by delivering written notice to the Company in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Participant, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.
