Termination on Account of Disability Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive’s employment terminates on account of Disability, Executive shall be entitled to receive disability benefits under any disability program maintained by the Company that covers Executive, and Executive shall not receive benefits pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 hereof, except that, subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits provided that Executive executes and does not revoke the Release:
Death or Permanent Disability If Grantee shall die or become permanently disabled while employed by the Company or one of its affiliates, this Option shall expire one (1) year after the date of such death or permanent disability. During such period after death, Grantee's legal representative or representatives, or the person or persons entitled to do so under Grantee's last will and testament or under applicable interstate laws, shall have the right to exercise this Option as to only the number of shares to which Grantee was entitled to purchase on the date of his/her death.
Effect on Employment Neither the grant of the Stock Option, nor the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Stock Option, will give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Affiliates, affect the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to discharge or discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her Employment at any time.
Termination on Death or Disability Upon a termination of employment due to the Executive’s death or Disability, the Company shall have no further liability or further obligation to the Executive except that the Executive (or, if applicable, his estate or designated beneficiaries under any Company-sponsored employee benefit plan in the event of his death) shall be entitled to receive:
Termination Upon Death or Permanent Disability This Agreement shall be automatically terminated on the death of Executive or on the permanent disability of Executive if Executive is no longer able to perform in all material respects the usual and customary duties of Executive’s employment hereunder. For purposes hereof, any condition which in reasonable likelihood is expected to impair Executive’s ability to materially perform Executive’s duties hereunder for a period of three months or more shall be considered to be permanent.
Effect Upon Employment The Participant’s right to continue to serve the Company or any of its subsidiaries as an officer, employee, or otherwise, is not enlarged or otherwise affected by an award under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan gives the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to interfere in any way with any right the Company or any subsidiary may have to terminate his or her employment at any time. Payment of Shares is not secured by a trust, insurance contract or other funding medium, and the Participant does not have any interest in any fund or specific asset of the Company by reason of this Award or the account established on his or her behalf. A Performance Share Unit confers no rights as a shareholder of the Company until Shares are actually delivered to the Participant.
Termination for Permanent Disability If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Permanent Disability, Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) Executive’s fully earned but unpaid base salary, through the date of termination at the rate then in effect, plus all other amounts to which Executive is entitled under any compensation plan or practice of the Company at the time such payments are due, (ii) an amount equal to Executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the date of termination, payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable but in any event no later than two and one-half (2 1/2) months following the date of termination, (iii) an amount equal to Executive’s Bonus for the year in which the date of termination occurs prorated for the period during such year Executive was employed prior to the date of termination, payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable but in any event no later than two and one-half (2 1/2) months following the date of termination, and (iv) for the period beginning on the date of termination and ending on the date which is twelve (12) full months following the date of termination (or, if earlier, the date on which Executive accepts employment with another employer that provides comparable benefits in terms of cost and scope of coverage), the Company shall pay for and provide Executive and his or her dependents with healthcare and life insurance benefits which are substantially the same as the benefits provided to Executive immediately prior to the date of termination, including, if necessary, paying the costs associated with continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA. In addition, if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Permanent Disability, the vesting and/or exercisability of Executive’s outstanding Stock Awards shall be automatically accelerated on the date of termination as to the number of shares that would vest over the twelve (12) months following Executive’s date of termination under the applicable vesting schedules had Executive remained continuously employed by the Company during such period. Except as otherwise provided above with respect to accelerated vesting, if Executive’s employment is terminated by Permanent Disability, the provisions of the award agreements governing Executive’s Stock Awards regarding the exercisability of such Stock Awards following Executive’s disability shall apply.
Termination by Reason of Disability If, during the term of this Agreement, the Employee, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of Avocent Corporation, has failed to perform his duties under this Agreement on account of illness or physical or mental incapacity, and such illness or incapacity continues for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months, the Employer shall have the right to terminate the Employee’s employment hereunder by delivery of written notice to the Employee at any time after such six month period and payment to the Employee of all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent earned, additional bonus compensation in 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, vested deferred compensation, if any (other than pension plan or profit sharing plan benefits which will be paid in accordance with the applicable plan), any benefits under any plans of Employer or Avocent in which the Employee is a participant to the full extent of the Employee’s rights under such plans (including having the vesting of any awards granted to the Employee under any AHC or Avocent stock option plans fully accelerated), accrued vacation pay and any appropriate business expenses incurred by the Employee in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the date of termination, with the exception of medical and dental benefits which shall continue through the expiration of this Agreement, but the Employee shall not be paid any other compensation or reimbursement of any kind, including without limitation, severance compensation.
Termination Because of Disability If the Executive becomes incapable by reason of physical injury, disease, or mental illness of substantially performing his duties and responsibilities under this agreement for a continuous period of six (6) months or more or for more than one hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate (whether or not consecutive) during any 12-month period, then at any time after the elapse of such six-month period or such 180 days, as the case may be, the Board may terminate the Executive’s employment by the Companies under this agreement. If the Executive’s employment under this agreement is terminated by the Board because of such disability on the part of the Executive, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following compensation and benefits from the Companies:
Termination Upon Death or Permanent and Total Disability The Employment Period shall be terminated by the death of Executive. The Employment Period may be terminated by the Board if Executive shall be rendered incapable of performing his duties to the Company by reason of any medically determined physical or mental impairment that can be reasonably expected to result in death or that can be reasonably be expected to last for a period of either (i) six (6) or more consecutive months from the first date of Executive’s absence due to the disability or (ii) nine (9) months during any twelve-month period (a “Permanent and Total Disability”). If the Employment Period is terminated by reason of a Permanent and Total Disability of Executive, the Company shall give thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to that effect to Executive.
