Except with respect to the obligations set for forth in the Termination Agreement, notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, all other obligations of the Company and rights of the Employee hereunder shall terminate effective as of the Date of Termination.

If a Change in Control occurs on account of a series of transactions, the Change in Control Date is the date of the last of such transactions.

CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE CORPORATION Change in Control of the Corporation" shall mean a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), or any successor thereto, whether or not the Corporation is registered under the Exchange Act; provided that, without limitation, such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities; or (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Corporation cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination for election by stockholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.
Rights in Event of Termination of Employment Absent Change in Control (a) In the event that Executive's employment is involuntarily terminated by HMS without Cause and no Change in Control shall have occurred as of the date of such termination, upon execution of a mutual release, HMS will provide Executive with the following pay and benefits: (i) a payment in an amount equal to the greater of: that portion of the Executive’s Agreed Compensation for the then existing Employment Period that has not been paid to Executive as of the date his employment terminates, or 1.0 times the Executive’s Agreed Compensation. Such amount shall be payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments; and (ii) subject to plan terms, Executive’s continued participation in HMS's employee benefit plans for twelve (12) months or until Executive secures substantially similar benefits through other employment, whichever shall first occur. If Executive is no longer eligible to participate in an employee benefit plan because he is no longer an employee, HMS will pay Executive the amount of money that it would have cost HMS to provide the benefits to Executive. However, in the payments described herein, when added to all other amounts or benefits provided to or on behalf of the Executive in connection with his termination of employment, would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Code Section 4999, such payments shall be retroactively (if necessary) reduced to the extent necessary to avoid such imposition. Upon written notice to Executive, together with calculations of HMS's independent auditors, Executive shall remit to HMS the amount of the reduction plus such interest as may be necessary to avoid the imposition of such excise tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any portion of the amount herein payable to the Executive is determined to be non-deductible pursuant to the regulations promulgated under Section 280G of the Code, then HMS shall be required only to pay to Executive the amount determined to be deductible under Section 280G.
Involuntary Termination in Connection with a Change in Control Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event of an Involuntary Termination prior to a Change in Control, if the Involuntary Termination (1) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect such Change in Control or (2) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of such Change in Control, then the Executive shall, in lieu of the payments described in Section 4 hereof, be entitled to the Post-Change in Control Severance Payment and the additional benefits described in this Section 5 as if such Involuntary Termination had occurred within two (2) years following the Change in Control. The amounts specified in Section 5 that are to be paid under this Section 5(h) shall be reduced by any amount previously paid under Section 4. The amounts to be paid under this Section 5(h) shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the Change in Control Date of such Change in Control.
