Any rights and benefits which Employee may have in respect of any other compensation or any employee benefit plans or programs of the Company, whether pursuant to Section 4(c) or otherwise, shall be determined in accordance with the terms of such other compensation arrangements or plans or programs. The term “Cause,” as used herein, shall mean: (A) Employee’s conviction, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony; (B) Employee’s engaging in willful misconduct that is economically injurious to the Company (including, but not limited to, a willful violation of Sections 10 or 11 of this Agreement or the embezzlement of funds or misappropriation of other property of the Company or any subsidiary); or (C) Employee shall breach this Agreement in a material manner or engage in fraudulent conduct as regards the Company which results either in personal enrichment to Employee or material injury to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Employee’s refusal or unwillingness to make any of the certifications required of him as Chief Executive Officer of the Company pursuant to Section 302 or Section 906 of the Sxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, or any similar requirements of any federal, state, local or foreign governmental authority or agency, or of any national securities exchange or quotation system on which any class or series of the Company’s capital stock is then traded or listed for quotation, constitute or give rise to a basis for termination for “Cause.”
(ii) The Company shall provide Employee with Notice of Termination stating that it intends to terminate Employee’s Employment for Cause under this Section 8(c) and specifying the particular act or acts on the basis of which the Board intends to terminate Employee’s Employment. Employee shall then be given the opportunity, within 15 days of his receipt of such notice, to have a meeting with the Board to discuss such act or acts (other than with respect to an action described in Sections 8(c)(i)(A) or (B) above as to which the Board may immediately terminate Employee’s Employment for Cause). Other than with respect to an action described in Sections 8(c)(i)(A) or (B) above, Employee shall be given seven days after his meeting with the Board to take reasonable steps to cease or correct the performance (or nonperformance) giving rise to such Notice of Termination. In the event the Board determines that Employee has failed within such seven-day period to take reasonable steps to cease or correct such performance (or nonperformance), Employee shall be given the opportunity, within 10 days of his receipt of written notice to such effect, to have a meeting with the Board to discuss such determination. Following that meeting, if the Board believes that Employee has failed to take reasonable steps to cease or correct his performance (or nonperformance) as above described, the Board may thereupon terminate the Employment of Employee for Cause.
