By the Employer for Cause.  At any time during the Term, the Employer may terminate your employment for “Cause”, which shall include, but not be limited to, a good-faith determination by the Employer that you:

 

(i)                                    engaged in willful, reckless or gross misconduct;

 

(ii)                                materially breached this Agreement or any other agreement between the Employer or the Activision Group and you;

 

(iii)                             committed, were convicted of, or pled no contest to a felony or crime involving dishonesty or moral turpitude;

 

(iv)                             breached your Duty of Loyalty;

 

(v)                                violated any material Activision Group policy; or

 

(vi)                             materially failed to follow any lawful directive of the Employer.

 

In the case of any termination for Cause pursuant to clauses (ii), (v) or (vi), the Employer shall give you at least thirty (30) days written notice of its intent to terminate your employment.  The notice shall specify (x) the effective date of your termination and (y) the particular acts or circumstances that constitute Cause for such termination.  You shall be given the opportunity within fifteen (15) days after receiving the notice to explain why Cause does not exist or to cure any basis for Cause.  Within fifteen (15) days after any such explanation or cure, the Employer will make its final determination regarding whether Cause exists and deliver such determination to you in writing.  If the final decision is that Cause exists and no cure has occurred, your employment with the Employer shall be terminated for Cause as of the date of termination specified in the original notice.  If the final decision is that Cause does not exist or a cure has occurred, your employment with the Employer shall not be terminated for Cause at that time.  If your employment terminates for any reason other than a termination by the Employer for Cause, at a time when the Employer had Cause to terminate you (or would have had Cause if it then knew all relevant facts), your termination shall be treated as a termination by the Employer for Cause.
