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.
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 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).
Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change in Control If the Company terminates Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause (excluding death or Disability) or if Executive resigns from his or her employment for Good Reason, and, in each case, such termination date occurs during the Change in Control Period, then Executive will receive the Accrued Benefits and, subject to Sections 5 through 7, below, Executive will be eligible to receive the following:
Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change of Control If the Company or its Affiliates terminate Executive’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates, respectively, without Cause or Executive resigns from such employment for Good Reason within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, and Executive signs and does not revoke a separation agreement and release of claims with the Company (in a form acceptable to the Company), then Executive will receive the following severance from the Company:
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.
Good Reason; Other Than for Cause If, during the Term, the Company shall terminate Executive’s employment other than for Cause (but not for Disability), or the Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason:
Termination of Employment Following a Change in Control Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof to the contrary, if the Employee’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 4 of the Termination Agreement and the Employee is entitled to benefits provided in Section 5 of the Termination Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Employee, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination, the aggregate of the Employee’s Base Salary (as in effect on the Date of Termination) through the Date of Termination, if not theretofore paid, and, in the case of compensation previously deferred by the Employee, all amounts of such compensation previously deferred shall be paid in accordance with the plan documents governing such deferral. 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.
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.
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.
