the number of paid vacation days to which Employee is entitled on the basis of
years of service with the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation's
normal vacation policy in effect at the time of the Change in Control;

obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to
perform the Agreement or if the business of the Corporation for which Employee's

SECTION TEN 

DEFINITION OF CAUSE 

Cause to terminate the Employee's employment shall mean (a) the
willful and continued failure by the Employee to substantially perform her
duties, after demand for substantial performance as delivered by the Corporation
that specifically identifies the manner in which the Corporation believes the
Employee has not substantially performed his duties, or (b) the willful engaging
by the Employee of misconduct which is materially injurious to the Corporation,
monetarily or otherwise, or (c) the willful violation by the Employee of the
provisions of the Employment Agreement. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall not be deemed
to have been terminated for cause unless there shall have been delivered to the
Employee a copy of a notice of termination from the Corporation after reasonable
written notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the Employee, together
with counsel for the Employee, to be heard before the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, accompanied by a resolution duly adopted by the Directors of the
Corporation then in office, who find that in the good faith opinion of such
directors, the Employee was guilty of conduct set forth above and shall set
forth in particular detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
basis for termination of employment under the provisions so indicated. 

SECTION ELEVEN 

DIRECTORSHIPS 

The Employee shall be entitled to accept a position as a
director of other corporations, whether such corporations are engaged in the
mining industry or not provided any such directorship is first approved by the
Corporation, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 

SECTION TWELVE 

CONFIDENTIALITY 

Employee agrees that except as required for the performance of
his duties, obligations and responsibilities hereunder, he will not at any time
during the term of the Agreement or thereafter divulge to any person, firm or
corporation any Confidential Information received by him during the course of
her employment and all such Confidential Information shall be kept confidential
and deemed the property of the Corporation. For the purpose of the provision,
Confidential Information means information known to the Employee as a
consequence of her employment by the Corporation and not generally known in the
