Don't most options expire a handful of months after leaving the company?

The ability to extend that period isn't always up to the option-granting company; while it is possible for non-qualified stock options (NSOs), incentive stock options (ISOs) must be exercised within 90 days of termination of employment, by law.

That is unusual and I wish more companies would just offer that from the start.
