following terms are used in this Agreement they shall have the
meanings specified below, unless the context clearly indicates
otherwise. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein
shall have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not
defined therein, the Plan.
“ Cause ”
shall mean (i) the commission of any act of fraud,
embezzlement or dishonesty by Participant that adversely affects
the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) any unauthorized use or
disclosure by Participant of confidential information or trade
secrets of the Company or any Subsidiary that adversely affects the
Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) any willful and continued
failure by Participant to substantially perform his or her duties
with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than any such failure
resulting from Participant’s incapacity due to physical or
mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance
is delivered to Participant by the Board, which demand specifically
identifies the manner in which the Board believes that Participant
has not substantially performed such duties, or (iv) any
willful and continued failure by Participant to substantially
follow and comply with the specific and lawful directives of the
Board, as reasonably determined by the Board (other than any such
failure resulting from Participant’s incapacity due to
physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to Participant by the Board, which demand
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that
Participant has not substantially performed such directives.
The foregoing definition shall not in any way preclude or restrict
the right of the Company (or any Subsidiary) to discharge or
dismiss Participant or any other person in the service of the
Company (or any Subsidiary) for any other acts or omissions, but
such other acts or omissions shall not be deemed, for purposes of
this Agreement, to constitute grounds for termination for

interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and
its Parents and Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly
reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at
