employment period, because of ill health, physical or mental disability, or for
other causes beyond the control of the Executive, the Executive has been
continuously unable or unwilling or has failed to perform the Executive's duties
for 9 consecutive months. The term "any year of the employment period" means any
period of 12 consecutive months during the employment period.

JUST cause without payment of any compensation either by way of anticipated

twelve (12) months. For this purpose compensation is defined as including, but
not limited to, base salary, vacation pay, car allowance, and options which vest
during the severance in lieu of notice period. The Corporation shall not be
entitled to provide notice in lieu of the termination compensation. Furthermore,
the termination compensation sum is payable forthwith after termination, whether
or not the Executive seeks or finds alternative employment within any set time
period after termination. Termination compensation will be payable in equal
installments over 6 months if Executive is satisfied, in his discretion, acting
