Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement only, the Company shall have “Cause” to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder only upon # the willful and continued failure of the Executive to attempt to perform substantially his duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Disability), after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which specifically identifies the manner in which the Executive has not attempted to substantially perform his duties, or # the engaging by the Executive in willful misconduct which is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of this Section 3(d), no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or a senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of at least 3/4 of the Board (excluding the Executive) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel for the Executive, to be heard before the Board) finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in the second sentence of this Section 3(d) and specifying the particulars thereof.

Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: # any act of material insubordination on the part of the Executive; # the engaging by the Executive in misconduct, including but not limited to, any type of sexual harassment which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or any of its divisions, subsidiaries or affiliates, monetarily or otherwise; # any conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, the Executive with respect to a felony (other than a traffic violation); # the commission (or attempted commission) of any act of fraud or dishonesty by the Executive which is materially detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any of its divisions, subsidiaries or affiliates; # the engaging by the Executive in an act or series of acts constituting misconduct resulting in a misstatement of the Company’s financial statements due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement within the meaning of [Section 304] of The Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002; # the Executive’s breach of any of the covenants set forth in Article IV of this Agreement; or # the Executive’s refusal to follow reasonable and lawful directives of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer without a valid reason for such refusal. The right of the Company to terminate this Agreement forCause” shall be distinct from and shall not limit any remedies available under law to the Company for a material breach by the Executive of his obligations under this Agreement (“Material Breach”).

"Cause" for termination by the Company of Executive's employment, shall mean # an action by Executive involving willful malfeasance in connection with his employment which results in material harm to the Company, # a material and continuing breach by Executive of the terms of this Agreement which breach is not cured within 60 days after Executive receives written notice from the Company of any such breach or # Executive being convicted of a felony. Termination of Executive for Cause shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination given within six months after the Board both # had knowledge of conduct or an event allegedly constituting Cause and # had reason to believe that such conduct or event could be grounds for Cause. For purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on Executive's part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Executive's act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company and its subsidiaries.

For Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause (as defined below); provided, however, with respect to [subsections 3(a)(i) and (vi)])], before terminating the Executive for Cause, the Company shall be required first to give the Executive written notice of any alleged violation of said provision and a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to cure such violation. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following: # habitual drunkenness or any substance abuse which adversely affects the Executive’s performance of the Executive’s job responsibilities, # commission of a felony, # dishonesty materially relating to the Executive’s employment, # personal misconduct by the Executive which would cause the Company to violate any state or federal law relating to sexual harassment, sex or other prohibited discrimination, or any intentional violation of any written policy of the Company or any successor entity adopted in respect to any such law, # conduct in the performance of the Executive’s employment which the Executive knows or should reasonably be expected to know (either as a result of a prior warning by the Company, custom within the industry or the flagrant nature of the conduct)
