With respect to nonstatutory options granted to employees, directors or consultants, the Board may specify such period for exercise, not less than 30 days after such termination (except that in the case of "termination for cause" or removal of a director, the option shall automatically terminate as of the termination of employment or services), following termination of employment or services, as the Board deems reasonable and appropriate.
