For the purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have "Cause" to terminate the Executive's employment hereunder upon (A) the willful and continued failure by the Executive to perform his duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that he has not substantially performed his duties, or (B) the willful engaging by the Executive in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company, or (C) occurrence of any event which would provide a basis of termination for cause under 12 C.F.R.

For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was not 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 there shall have been delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the entire authorized membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice and an opportunity for the Executive, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board he was guilty of conduct set forth above in clauses (A) or (B) of the first sentence of this paragraph and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
