Good Faith Belief. For purposes of this Agreement, no act or failure to act by Executive shall be considered “willful” if such act is done by Executive in the good faith belief that such act is or was to be beneficial to the Company or one or more of its businesses or subsidiaries or affiliates, or such failure to act is due to the Executive’s good faith belief that such action would be materially harmful to the Company or one of its businesses. Executive’s actions resulting in a violation of law, including but not limited to laws specified in Section 1.5, shall not constitute a good faith belief for purposes of this Section or this Agreement. Cause shall not exist unless and until the Company has delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by not less than two-thirds of the Board (excluding Executive for purposes of determining such majority) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose after reasonable (but in no event less than thirty (30) days’) notice to Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board, finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board that “Cause” exists, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. This Section shall not prevent Executive from challenging in an arbitration proceeding the Board’s determination that Cause exists or that Executive has failed to cure any act (or failure to act) that purportedly formed the basis for the Board’s determination.
