In the event of termination of the optionee's employment, the option terminates as to all shares as to which it is not then exercisable, except that, in the case of voluntary termination after age 62, death, disability or involuntary termination, if the target price has been achieved prior to such termination, the option becomes exercisable, immediately prior to such termination, as to one-half of the shares as to which it is not then exercisable.
