3. | In case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company as a result of the termination of such Participant’s employment with an Employing Company for reasons of: |
| (iii) | Any other reason Philips determines in its sole discretion, |
such Participant shall remain entitled to any LTI Awards granted to such Participant nine (9) months or more prior to the date of such termination subject to the LTI Award Terms and Conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, any LTI awards granted less than nine (9) months prior to such termination shall be forfeited effective as of the date of such termination.
In respect of Stock Options, the Option Period will end five (5) years from the date of termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employing Company due to the reasons mentioned under (i), (ii), or (iii) above or, if earlier, upon the expiry of the Option Period.
For the purpose of this Plan, unless Philips in its sole discretion determines otherwise in writing to the Participant, a Participant’s employment shall be deemed terminated as a result of “retirement” if such Participant’s employment is terminated and such Participant satisfies the eligibility requirements to receive an immediate (early) retirement benefit under a(n) (early) retirement plan of an Employing Company under which such Participant was covered at the date of such termination, provided that payment of such (early) retirement benefit commences immediately following such termination. In case no retirement plan is provided by Philips in the country where the Participant was employed, retirement will be determined in the context of local practice, including, but not limited to, eligibility to a state retirement plan.
4. | In case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company because of a Divestiture and provided the Participant remains employed by the divested business, such Participant shall remain entitled, subject to the LTI Award Terms and Conditions, to a time proportional part of any LTI Awards granted to such Participant nine (9) months or more prior to the date of such Divestiture. For the avoidance of doubt, any LTI awards granted less than nine (9) months prior to the Divestiture shall be forfeited upon the relevant termination date. |
In respect of Stock Options, the Option Period will end five (5) years from the date of the Divestiture (or, if earlier, upon the expiry of the Option Period).
5. | Except as may be otherwise approved in writing by Philips in its sole discretion, in case a Participant is no longer employed by any Employing Company, the Participant (or his estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) shall withdraw from the relevant Participant’s Nominee Account all Shares acquired upon vesting of LTI Awards or, as the case may be, exercise of Stock Options, which were credited to the Nominee Account within: |
| a. | One hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of such termination of employment, or |
| b. | Three (3) years from the date of termination of employment, if for reasons of: |
provided, however, that the periods under a. and b. above shall be two (2) years and five (5) years, respectively, if the relevant Participant’s Nominee Account also includes Stock Options at the date of termination.
If the Participant (or his estate or legal representatives, as the case may be) fails to comply with the foregoing obligation, Philips reserves the right and Participant explicitly
