Acceleration and Termination of Option Clause Samples

The Acceleration and Termination of Option clause defines the circumstances under which an option, such as a stock option or purchase right, may become immediately exercisable (accelerated) or may be ended (terminated) before its original expiration date. Typically, this clause outlines specific events—such as a change in company control, termination of employment, or breach of agreement—that trigger acceleration or termination. Its core practical function is to provide clarity and predictability for both parties regarding the fate of the option in various scenarios, thereby managing expectations and reducing potential disputes.
Acceleration and Termination of Option. (a) Termination of Employment.
Acceleration and Termination of Option. (a) In the event of one or more of the following stockholder-approved transactions (a "Corporate Transaction"): (i) a merger or acquisition in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which is to change the State of the Corporation's incorporation, (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any entity other than a parent or subsidiary of the Corporation, or (iii) any reverse merger in which the Corporation is the surviving entity but in which fifty percent (50%) or more of the Corporation's outstanding voting stock is transferred to holders different from those who held such stock immediately prior to such merger, then, to the extent this option is not otherwise at the time fully exercisable (as provided in the Grant Notice), the exercisability of this option shall automatically be accelerated so that such option shall immediately prior to the specified effective date for the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable with respect to the total number of Optioned Shares and may be exercised for all or any portion of such shares as fully-vested shares. No such acceleration of this option, however, shall occur if and to the extent: (i) this option is in connection with the Corporate Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor corporation or parent thereof or be replaced with a comparable option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof or (ii) this option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the option spread at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for payout upon the same vesting schedule applicable to this option. The determination of comparability under clause (i) shall be made by the Plan Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (b) This option, to the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate upon the consummation of such Corporate Transaction and cease to be exercisable, except to the extent expressly assumed by the successor corporation or parent thereof. (c) This option shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
Acceleration and Termination of Option. (a) CHANGE IN CONTROL AND OTHER EVENTS CAUSING ACCELERATION OF OPTION. All Options shall become fully exercisable immediately prior to a Change in Control. In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the exercisability of the Option at any time and for any reason.
Acceleration and Termination of Option. (a) Termination of Employment or Consulting Arrangement.
