SEVERANCE COMPENSATION IN THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE In the event of a Termination Other Than for Cause, the Employee shall be paid as severance compensation his Base Salary (at the rate payable at the time of such termination) for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such termination, on the dates specified in Section 3.1, and Employee shall also be paid an amount equal to the average annual bonus earned by the Employee as an employee of Avocent Corporation and its affiliates and predecessors in the two (2) years immediately preceding the date of termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary, the Employee may in the Employee’s sole discretion, by delivery of a notice to the Employer within thirty (30) days following a Termination Other Than for Cause, elect to receive from the Employer a lump sum severance payment by bank cashier’s check equal to the present value of the flow of cash payments that would otherwise be paid to the Employee pursuant to this Section 4.2. Such present value shall be determined as of the date of delivery of the notice of election by the Employee and shall be based on a discount rate equal to the interest rate on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills, as reported in The Wall Street Journal (or similar publication), on the date of delivery of the election notice. If the Employee elects to receive a lump sum severance payment, Avocent Corporation shall cause the Employer to make such payment to the Employee within ten (10) days following the date on which the Employee notifies the Employer of the Employee’s election. The Employee shall also be entitled to have the vesting of any awards granted to the Employee under any AHC or Avocent stock option plans fully accelerated. The Employee shall be provided with medical plan benefits under any health plans of Avocent or Employer in which the Employee is a participant to the full extent of the Employee’s rights under such plans for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such Termination Other Than for Cause (even if Employee elects to receive a lump sum severance payment).
Death, Disability or Retirement Subject to the provisions of Section 1 hereof, this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the Executive's death, termination due to "Disability" (as defined below) or voluntary retirement under any of the Company's retirement plans as in effect from time to time. For purposes of this Agreement, Disability shall mean the Executive has met the conditions to qualify for long-term disability benefits under the Company's policies, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date.

Compensation During Disability or Upon Termination (i) If, during the Protected Period, Employee fails to perform Employee's normal duties as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Employee shall continue during the period of such disability to receive Employee's full Base Salary and any awards, deferred and nondeferred, payable during such period under the Bonus Plan, less any amounts paid to Employee during such period of disability pursuant to the Company's short term disability or sick-leave program(s) until Employee's employment is terminated or such Disability ends. This Section 4(i) shall not reduce or impair Employee's rights to terminate employment for a Good Reason as otherwise provided herein.
Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement In the event the Optionee’s employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, this Option will remain exercisable, to the extent exercisable as of the date of such termination, for a period of one year after such termination (but in no event after the Time of Termination).

Effect of Termination of Employment or Service Except as provided in Section 3, the Participant’s Share Units shall terminate and be forfeited to the extent such units have not become vested prior to the first date the Participant is no longer employed by or in service to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, regardless of the reason for the termination of the Participant’s employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. If any unvested Share Units are terminated hereunder, such Share Units shall automatically terminate and be forfeited as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company and without any other action by the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be.
Termination for Any Reason Except Death, Disability or Cause If Optionee is Terminated for any reason except Optionee’s death, Disability or Cause, then this Option, to the extent (and only to the extent) that it is vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement on the date of Termination, may be exercised by Optionee no later than three (3) months after the date of Termination, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date.
Termination for Cause, or Termination Upon Death, Disability or Resignation from the Company Without Good Reason If Executive’s employment shall terminate as a result of Executive’s death pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) or Disability pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii), pursuant to Section 3(a)(iii) for Cause, or pursuant to Section 3(a)(vi) for Executive’s resignation from the Company without Good Reason, then Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits, except as provided in Section 3(c).
