payment in full of all sums then owing by the Company to the Employee by way of remuneration
accrued to the date of termination.  19.2
    
    Termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever shall not relieve the Employee from
payment in full of all sums then owing to the Company or which may become owing in respect of
