Cause the termination of the Participants employment initiated by the Employer because of: (1) if the Participant has entered into any written and executed contract(s) with the Employer, any material breach by the Participant of such contract (as reasonably determined by the Employer) and which is not or cannot reasonably be cured within 10 days after written notice from the Employer to the Participant; (2) any material violation by the Participant of the Employers policies, rules or regulations (as reasonably determined by the Employer) and which is not or cannot be reasonably cured within 10 days after written notice from the Employer to the Participant; or (3) commission of any material act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty by the Participant (as reasonably determined by the Employer).
Good Reason the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) a job reassignment that is not at least of comparable responsibility or status as the assignment in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; (2) a reduction in the Participants Base Pay as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control; (3) a material modification of the Employers incentive compensation program (that is adverse to the Participant) as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control; (4) a requirement by the Employer that the Participant be based anywhere other than within thirty miles of the Participants work location immediately prior to a Change in Control (with exceptions for temporary business travel that is consistent in both frequency and duration with the Participants business travel before the Change in Control); or (5) except as otherwise required by applicable law, the failure by the Employer to provide employee benefit programs and plans (including any stock ownership and stock purchase plans) that provide substantially similar benefits, in terms of aggregate monetary value, at substantially similar costs to the Participant as the benefits provided in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control.
