Cause. “Cause” for the Company (or any acquiror or successor in interest thereto) to terminate your employment shall exist if any of the following occurs: # your conviction (including a guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere) of any felony or any other crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; # your commission or attempted commission of or participation in a fraud or act of dishonesty or misrepresentation against the Company; # your material violation of any contract or agreement between you and the Company, including without limitation, material breach of your Confidential Information Agreement (defined below), or of any Company policy, or of any statutory duty you owe to the Company; # your inability to perform your duties due to your permanent disability or death; or # your conduct that constitutes gross insubordination, incompetence or habitual neglect of duties, provided, however, that the action or conduct described in this [clause (E)] will constitute “Cause” only if such action or conduct continues after the Board has provided you with written notice thereof and thirty (30) days opportunity to cure the same (provided that the Board is not obligated to provide such written notice and opportunity to cure if the action or conduct is not reasonably susceptible to cure). The determination that a termination is for Cause shall be made by the Board in its sole discretion.
