the Administrator, or as otherwise provided in the Plan. Except to the extent provided in Section 6(b)(4) of the Plan, the latest date on which the Stock Option or any portion thereof may be exercised is the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Final Exercise Date”) and, if not exercised by such date, the Stock Option or any remaining portion thereof will thereupon immediately terminate. No Shares will be issued pursuant to this Agreement unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such Shares have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Administrator.
4. Cessation of Employment. If the Participant’s Employment ceases for any reason, except as expressly provided for in an employment, severance-benefit or other agreement between the Participant and the Company that is in effect at the time of such termination of Employment, the Stock Option, to the extent not then vested, will be immediately forfeited for no consideration, and any vested portion of the Stock Option that is then outstanding will remain exercisable for the period described in Section 6(a)(4) of the Plan (unless terminated as provided in Section 6(a)(4)(D)), subject to the other terms of the Plan and this Agreement.
5. Restrictive Covenants. Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant will execute, no later than the date hereof, and shall be bound by, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement attached hereto as Schedule A. The provisions of Schedule A shall survive any termination, expiration, forfeiture, transfer or other disposition of the Stock Option or any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Stock Option. In addition to any remedies that may be available to the Company or any of its Affiliates, the Administrator may cause the Stock Option (whether or not vested or exercisable) to be forfeited and the proceeds from the exercise of the Stock Option and/or the disposition, and/or distributions or other amounts received in respect of the Shares to be disgorged to the Company, with interest and related earnings, if at any time the Participant is not in compliance with all of the provisions of Schedule A. By accepting the Stock Option, the Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights, and those of any other holder of the Stock Option (or any portion thereof), under the Stock Option, including the right to any Shares acquired under the Stock Option and any amounts received in respect thereof, are subject to Section 6(a)(5) of the Plan.
6. Company Policies. By accepting the Stock Option, the Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s rights, and those of any permitted transferee, with respect to the Stock Option, including the right to any Shares acquired under the Stock Option or proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Section 6(a)(5) of the Plan (including any successor provision). The Participant further agrees to be bound by the terms of any clawback, recoupment or similar policy of the Company or any of its Affiliates and any policy of the Company or any of its Affiliates that relates to trading on non-public information and permitted transactions with respect to shares of Stock, including limitations on hedging and pledging, in each case, as in effect from time to time. Nothing in the preceding sentence will be construed as limiting the general application of Section 10 of this Agreement.
7. Nontransferability. The Stock Option may not be transferred except as expressly permitted under Section 6(a)(3) of the Plan. Shares issued in respect of the Stock Option may be transferred subject to compliance with applicable law and the terms of any policies of the Company or any of its Affiliates.
