Any options which are not then exercisable will automatically terminate 90 days after the date the option holder voluntarily resigns as an officer, director or employee or in the event the option holder is terminated for cause. For purposes of these options, cause is defined as (i) the failure by the option holder to substantially perform his duties and obligations owed to the Corporation (other than any failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (ii) engaging in misconduct or a breach of fiduciary duty which is, or potentially is, materially injurious to the Corporation; (iii) the commission of a crime which is, or potentially is, materially injurious to the Corporation.
