be of no further force and effect. 
  
 (b) The
Fair Market Value of Shares to be purchased hereunder by the Company, ATDH or an affiliate of the Company, as the case may be, shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors as of the Termination Date, unless and to the
extent Section 4(d) applies, in which case the determination will be as of the date of exercise of the Repurchase Right. 
  
 (c) The Buyer shall not be considered to have ceased to be employed by the Company for purposes of this Agreement if the Buyer continues
to be employed by the Company or any affiliate thereof.
