In the event that his employment with REFAC is terminated (i) by him for Good Reason, (ii) by REFAC without Cause, (iii) due to his death or disability, or (iv) on or after the expiration of the term of the Employment Agreement, then the option shall immediately become exercisable as to all shares and shall remain exercisable for the remainder of the term of the option; provided that in the event of a termination for Good Reason solely as a result of a Change in Control, the option shall remain exercisable for a period of one year following the date of such termination. |
