Covered Termination During a Change in Control Period If Executive experiences a Covered Termination during a Change in Control Period, and if Executive delivers to the Company a Release of Claims that becomes effective and irrevocable within sixty (60) days, or such shorter period of time specified by the Company, following such Covered Termination, then in addition to any accrued but unpaid salary, bonus, vacation and expense reimbursement payable in accordance with applicable law, the Company shall provide Executive with the following:
Termination Other Than a Qualifying Termination If the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company Group is not a Qualifying Termination, then the Executive will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits.
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).
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 Other Than for Cause If Executive's employment is terminated as a result of an Involuntary Termination other than for Cause, then the following severance benefits shall be paid or otherwise provided to Executive: (A) the Company shall pay to Executive in the form of a lump sum payment, in cash, a severance payment equal to the lesser of (I) three (3) times Executive's Base Salary or (II) Executive's Base Salary multiplied by the sum of (x) the number of years (or any portion thereof, calculated on a daily basis) remaining under this Agreement had Executive's employment not been terminated, plus (y) an additional one-half year, however, in no event shall such payment equal less than 100% of Executive's Base Salary, which shall be paid to Executive within ten (10) days after the date of termination; (B) until the earlier of (I) the date this Agreement would otherwise have terminated had Executive's employment not been terminated (the 'Remaining Term') or (II) the expiration of the three (3) year period measured from the date of Executive's termination of employment. The Company shall at its sole cost and expense provide Executive (and Executive's eligible dependents, if any) with life, disability, and medical insurance benefits substantially similar to those benefits that Executive (and Executive's dependents) were receiving immediately prior to Executive's termination of employment; provided, however, that the benefits otherwise receivable by Executive pursuant to this Section 9(a)(ii)(B) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are concurrently received by Executive (or Executive's dependents) pursuant to a similar plan or program of another employer, and any such other benefits actually received by Executive (or Executive's dependents) must be reported to the Company; and provided further, however, that the insurance coverage provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 9(a)(ii)(B) shall be in lieu of any other continued coverage to which Executive or Executive's dependents would otherwise, at Executive's own expense, be entitled in accordance with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ('Code'), Section 4980B ('COBRA'), by reason of Executive's termination of employment; (C) all stock options, warrants, rights and other Company stock-related awards granted to Executive by the Company that would otherwise have vested or become exercisable at any time in the future shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable upon the date of Executive's termination of employment, the Company's repurchase rights, if any, with respect to those vested shares shall immediately lapse, and each such stock option, to the extent vested, shall remain exercisable for the vested option shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term in accordance with the provisions of the agreement evidencing such option; and (D) the Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for any and all expenses incurred by Executive for outplacement services selected by the Executive and approved by the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, until the earlier of (I) the first anniversary of the date of termination of employment or (II) the date on which Executive commences employment with another employer.
Termination Due to Change in Control If the Company terminates Executive's employment without Cause (and for reasons other than death or Disability) in conjunction with a Change in Control (as defined below), Executive shall be entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid salary and benefits through the date of termination plus the Change in Control Benefit (as defined below).
Termination Following a Change in Control (a) In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executive's employment may be terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary during the Severance Period and the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided by Section 4 unless such termination is the result of the occurrence of one or more of the following events:
Termination Other Than for Cause If the Employee ceases to be employed by the Company and all Related Corporations, other than by reason of death or disability as defined in Section 5 or termination for Cause as defined in Section 4(c), no further installments of this option shall become exercisable, and this option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the date of termination of the Employee's employment, or (ii) the scheduled expiration date of this option. In such a case, the Employee's only rights hereunder shall be those which are properly exercised before the termination of this option.
