The Company may at any time by written notice to the Executive terminate the Term for “Cause” (as defined below) and, upon such termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Executive shall be entitled to receive no further amounts or benefits hereunder, except for any Base Salary earned but not paid prior to such termination. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means: # continued neglect by the Executive of the Executive’s duties hereunder, # continued incompetence or unsatisfactory attendance, # conviction of any felony, # violation of the rules, regulations, procedures or instructions relating to the conduct of employees, directors, officers and/or consultants of the Company, # willful misconduct by the Executive in connection with the performance of any material portion of the Executive’s duties hereunder, # breach of fiduciary obligation owed to the Company or commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement, disloyalty or defalcation, or usurpation of a Company opportunity, # breach of any provision of this Agreement, including any non-competition, non-solicitation and/or confidentiality provisions hereof, # any act that has a material adverse effect upon the reputation of and/or the public confidence in the Company, # failure to comply with a reasonable order, policy or rule that constitutes material insubordination, # engaging in any discriminatory or sexually harassing behavior, or # using, possessing or being impaired by or under the influence of illegal drugs or the abuse of controlled substances or alcohol on the premises of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or while working or representing the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. A termination for Cause by the Company of any of the events described in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (ix), (x) and (xi) shall only be effective on 15 days advance written notification, providing the Executive the opportunity to cure, if reasonably capable of cure within said 15-day period; provided, however, that no such notification is required if the Cause event is not reasonably capable of cure or the Board determines that its fiduciary obligation requires it to effect a termination of the Executive for Cause immediately.

Cause. The Company shall have “Cause” to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder upon:

Cause. If the Participant is terminated for Cause, then Participant’s Options shall expire on such Participant’s date of termination of Service, or at such later time and on such conditions as are determined by the Committee, but in any no event later than the expiration date of the Options. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, Cause shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

Cause. Cause as a reason for the termination of a Participant’s employment shall have the meaning assigned such term in the executive, employment, severance or similar agreement, if any, between the Participant and the Company or a Subsidiary. If the Participant is not a party to an executive, employment, severance, or similar agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary in which such term is defined, then unless otherwise defined in the applicable Award Agreement, Cause shall mean the commission by the Participant of, or the determination by the Board, based on reasonable evidence of misconduct as presented by a law enforcement agency, or as a result of an internal or external audit or investigation, that the Participant has committed: # a criminal offense involving the violation of state or federal law; # a breach of fiduciary duty; # an act of dishonesty, fraud, or material misrepresentation; or # any act of moral turpitude which the Board determines has or may be reasonably expected to have a detrimental impact on the Company’s business or operations, or which may prevent, because of its demonstrated or demonstrable effect on employees, regulatory agencies, or customers, the Participant from effectively performing his duties. Any reference to the Company in this definition includes each of its Subsidiaries.

Cause. “Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following actions or events: # Executive’s willful material misconduct or material breach of any written agreement between Executive and the Company (including without limitation this Agreement or the Executive’s Confidentiality Agreement), # Executive’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or no contest to, any felony, or of or to a crime involving moral turpitude, # the performance of an illegal act by Executive while purporting to act on the Company's behalf, or engaging in activities directly in competition or antithetical to the best interests of the Company or any Affiliate, including but not limited to material personal dishonesty, in each case, which is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of, or is otherwise materially injurious to, the Company or any Affiliate, # fraud or unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or any Affiliate or any other party to whom Executive owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of Executive’s relationship with the Company, # an intentional violation of any federal, state or local law or regulation applicable to the Company or any Affiliate or their business, or # Executive’s continued failure to perform Executive’s duties or responsibilities to the Company or any Affiliate or deliberate violation of a Company policy, including but not limited to those relating to insider trading or sexual harassment in each case as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cause shall only exist after; # the Board delivers written notice to Executive of the Board’s determination that Cause exists; # such notice sets forth in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances, along with the Board’s determination, in its discretion, of whether such events are reasonably capable of being corrected; and # only if the Board has determined that such events are reasonably capable of being corrected, Executive has failed to fully correct any of the events listed above within 10 days following delivery to Executive of the Board’s written notice of its determination that Cause exists. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Board determines, in its discretion, that such events constituting Cause are not reasonably capable of being corrected, Cause shall be deemed to exist immediately upon the Board’s delivery of the written notice described in the [foregoing clauses (x) and (y)])].
