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).
