Option Rights Upon Disability Clause Samples

The "Option Rights Upon Disability" clause defines how stock options or similar rights are treated if the option holder becomes disabled. Typically, this clause outlines whether the individual can continue to exercise their options, for how long after the onset of disability, and under what conditions the options may vest or expire. For example, it may allow a disabled employee a specific period to exercise vested options before they lapse. The core function of this clause is to provide clarity and fairness regarding the treatment of equity rights in the event of disability, ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations in such circumstances.
Option Rights Upon Disability. If an Employee becomes disabled while employed by the Corporation or any affiliate or subsidiary, the Board of Directors or the Stock Option Committee of the Corporation, will allow the Option to be fully exercised, to the extent that the Employee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of his disability.
