Common use of Termination for Cause or without Cause Clause in Contracts

Termination for Cause or without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for “Cause,” which shall mean termination based upon: (i) the Executive’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform his duties with the Company (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental condition), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Company, which specifically identifies the manner in which the Executive has not substantially performed his duties, (ii) the Executive’s commission of an act constituting a criminal offense that would be classified as a felony under the applicable criminal code or involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, or breach of trust, or (iii) the Executive’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, without good faith and without reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until (i) he receives a Notice of Termination from the Company, (ii) he is given the opportunity, with counsel, to be heard before the Board, and (iii) the Board finds, in its good faith opinion, that the Executive was guilty of the conduct set forth in the Notice of Termination. The Company also may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time during the Employment Period without Cause.
