you were granted the options. There should be two sections that

As I understand, the IRS requires that employers withhold taxes when NQSOs
are exercised. I'm curious if this rule stands when an employee ceases to
be an employee (non-employee) and exercises any remaining vested shares
under the terms of the option agreement. If the exercise happens in the
next year, then would it possible to take advantage of "safe-harbor"?
