A “for cause” termination by FISION shall be defined as: (a) violation of the Company’s Code of Conduct, or any policy prohibiting harassment, discrimination, disclosure of confidential information, alcohol or drug use, or retaliation, which is not corrected or remedied within thirty (30) days after a demand for performance has been delivered to Employee in writing, which writing must specify in reasonable detail the steps needed to correct the same and that failure to do so will result in a “for cause” termination of employment, in each case related to FISION or its business, (b) Employee’s conviction of a criminal offense that would be classified as a felony under the applicable criminal code or involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, or breach of trust, in which case no prior written notice shall be required, (c).
