Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability In the event Executive is disabled or his employment terminates during the Employment Period, the Company shall provide Executive with the payments and benefits set forth below. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments set forth in this Section 8 constitute liquidated damages for termination of his employment during the Employment Period.
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 on Disability If during the Term the Employee should fail to perform Employee’s duties hereunder on account of Disability, the Company shall have the right, on written Notice of Termination delivered to the Employee, to terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement. During the period that the Employee shall have been incapacitated due to physical or mental illness, the Employee shall continue to receive the full Base Salary provided for in Section 4.1 hereof at the rate then in effect until the Date of Termination pursuant to this Section 7.3. In the event of Employee’s termination for Disability pursuant to this Section 7.3 that constitutes Employee’s Separation from Service, then on the Date of Termination, the Company shall, in lieu of any payments under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 for the remainder of the Term, pay to the Employee the payments and other benefits applicable to termination without Cause set forth in Section 7.2 hereof, other than those related to career counseling and resume development. The Company shall also pay the Health Insurance Benefit. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, with regard to such continuation coverage, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating applicable law or potentially incurring penalties, excise taxes and fees pursuant to the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Health Insurance Benefit shall terminate and the Employee shall not be eligible to receive any further benefits related to the Health Insurance Benefit other than as otherwise required by applicable law. In addition, on such termination, all of the Employee’s outstanding but unvested Options and rights relating to capital stock of the Company shall immediately vest and become exercisable, and all RSUs and shares of the Company’s Restricted Stock issued to the Employee shall immediately vest and become unrestricted and freely transferable. The exercisability of any such Options and rights shall be extended to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term of such Options or rights or (b) the first (1st) anniversary of the Employee’s termination.
Compensation on Termination (a) If the term of Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, Company shall pay to the executors or administrators of Executive’s estate or Executive’s heirs or legatees (as the case may be) all compensation accrued and unpaid up to the date of Executive’s death.
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).
Termination by Disability If the Executive becomes Disabled prior to the expiration of the Employment Term, the Executive’s employment will terminate, and provided that such termination constitutes a Separation from Service, the Executive shall be entitled to:
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:
Effect of Termination on Compensation In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the Employment Period or any period of renewal, Employee shall be entitled to the compensation earned by him prior to the date of termination as provided for in this Agreement computed pro rata up to and including that date. Employee shall be entitled to no further compensation as of the date of termination.
Resignation on Termination On termination of Executive’s employment, regardless of the reason for such termination, Executive shall immediately (and with contemporaneous effect) resign any directorships, offices or other positions that Executive may hold in the Company or any affiliate, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.
Termination on Account of Death or Disability During the Term, if the Executive’s employment terminates due to the Executive’s death, or is terminated by the Company and the Employer due to the Executive’s Disability as provided in Section 3(b), then the Company shall pay the Executive (or his beneficiary or representative) (i) his Accrued Benefit, (ii) to the extent that any annual incentive compensation payable under Section 2(b) with respect to any completed fiscal year has not been paid as of the Date of Termination, the actual incentive compensation payable with respect to such year, payable on the date such amounts would otherwise be paid, (iii) a portion of the annual incentive compensation payable under Section 2(b), based upon the number of days in the year of termination through the Date of Termination relative to 365, that the Executive would have received based on actual achievement of applicable performance metrics for the applicable performance period, with such amount payable on the date such bonus would otherwise have been paid, and (iv) full vesting of all Company, Employer or any of its or their affiliates’ equity awards that are subject to time-based vesting, effective as of the Date of Termination. Accelerated vesting of any such equity awards that are subject to performance-based vesting shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan governing particular equity awards, as in effect at the time such equity awards were granted, or an award agreement governing a particular equity award.
