Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required by applicable law, each Option shall provide that the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the vested portion of any Option held at termination for at least 30 days following termination for any reason other than "Cause" as defined in any Option Agreement, and that the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option for at least six months if such termination was due to the death or Disability of the Optionee.
