Cause. Any of the following with respect to a Participant: (i) The Participant's continued failure, in a material way, to perform his or her responsibilities to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, after demand for substantial performance has been given by the Board, any officer of the Corporation to whom the Participant reports or any higher level officer that specifically identifies how the Participant has not substantially performed his or her responsibilities; provided, however, that following a... Change in Control, in order to terminate a Participant's employment under this Section 2(d)(i), such failure must be determined to be willful. A Participant's failure to perform under this Section 2(d)(i) does not, however, include failure resulting from the Participant's incapacity due to mental or physical illness or injury or from any permitted leave required by law or any failure after the Participant gives notice of termination for Good Reason or the Corporation gives notice of termination other than for Cause or Disability. (ii) The Participant's violation of the Code of Conduct and Interpretative Guidance of the Corporation or any rule or regulation governing the conduct of the Corporation's business or the Participant's employment with the Corporation. (iii) The Participant's conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a crime (other than a minor traffic offense). (iv) The Participant being subject to the prohibitions of Section 19(a)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or any similar statute, rule or regulation. (v) The Participant's fraud or material dishonesty in connection with the business of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, including but not limited to, the Participant taking actions or failing to take actions in a manner intending to result in personal gain at the expense of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. (vi) The Participant's breach of his or her fiduciary duties to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. For this definition, no act or omission by a Participant will be "willful" unless it is made by the Participant in bad faith or without a reasonable belief that such act or omission was in the best interests of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and any act or omission by a Participant based on authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or the HRCC, on the advice of counsel for the Corporation or on the instruction of any officer of the Corporation to whom the Participant reports or any higher level officer will be deemed made in good faith and in the best interests of the Corporation.
