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.
Termination Upon a Change in Control If Executive’s employment is subject to a Termination within a Covered Period, then, in addition to Minimum Benefits, the Company shall provide Executive the following benefits:
Termination Upon Change in Control (1) For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean any of the following events that occurs following the Effective Date:
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:
Change in Control Period “Change in Control Period” means the period of time beginning three (3) months prior to and ending twelve (12) months following a Change in Control.
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).
Upon a Change in Control If a Change in Control shall have occurred at any time during the period in which this Agreement is effective, this Agreement shall continue in effect for (i) the remainder of the month in which the Change in Control occurred and (ii) a term of 12 months beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred (such entire period hereinafter referred to as the "Protected Period"). Note that in certain circumstances defined and set forth below, provisions of this Agreement shall survive for longer than the period described above.
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:
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.
Termination After a Change in Control You will receive Severance Benefits under this Agreement if, during the Term of this Agreement and after a Change in Control has occurred, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than on account of your Disability or death) or you resign for Good Reason.
