I understand what your saying....

In the event that Mr. Blakeley’s employment is terminated for any reason other than cause,

"other than cause" = of his own accord?

Perhaps I'm not understanding that

In any event, It's going to be tough to find another job. Was he thrown to the street or did he find another job prior, where e.Digital allowed him to take the severance by implying he was terminated. I can't imagine them throwing him to the street.
