absenteeism, (iv) chronic alcoholism or other form of addiction that interferes with the Executive's performance of material duties with the Corporation, or (iv) the willful failure of the Executive to perform substantially the Executive's duties with the
Corporation (other than such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness that results in disability), after a written demand for such performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, which
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive's duties, and which is not remedied by the Executive 10 days after receipt of any such demand. No act or failure
to act shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interests of the Corporation. Any act, or failure to act, by the Executive based upon
authority given to the Executive pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors or based upon the advice of regular outside counsel for the Corporation shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good
faith and in the best interests of the Corporation.
