Cause. If you are a party to an employment or severance agreement with the Company, Cause shall have the meaning set forth therein. If you are not a party to an employment or severance agreement with the Company, termination by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of your employment for Cause shall mean termination # upon your willful and continued failure to perform substantially your duties with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness), # upon your willful and continued failure to follow and comply substantially with the specific and lawful directives of any person to whom you directly or indirectly report within the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness), # upon your willful commission of an act of fraud or dishonesty resulting in economic or financial injury to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or # upon your willful engagement in illegal conduct which is injurious to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

For purposes of this Certificate, “Cause” means (i) your willful and continued failure to perform substantially your reasonably assigned duties with the Company or any successor entity or any of their respective Affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from your physical or mental incapacity or any such actual, alleged or anticipated failure after you issue a notice of termination for Good Reason) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Company which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes you have not substantially performed your duties; (ii) your willfully engaging in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; (iii) your commission of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (iv) your commission of theft, fraud, embezzlement, material breach of trust or any material act of dishonesty involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (v) a significant violation by you of the code of conduct of the Company or its subsidiaries, of any material policy of the Company or its subsidiaries, or of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company or its subsidiaries; or (vi) a material breach by you of the terms of any agreement between the Company or its subsidiaries and you. For purposes of this definition (i) no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your actions or omission was in the best interest of the Company and (ii) your good faith errors in judgment shall not constitute Cause or be considered in any determination of whether Cause exists.
