	(v)
	All outstanding and accrued vacation pay;

		
	(vi)
	All properly incurred and reasonable business expenses owing to Executive as of the Date of Termination; and

	(c)
	Except as expressly stipulated in Sections 12(d) or 15 hereof or in this Section 13(c), any options which have not vested as of the Date of Termination (being in the case where the Corporation gives notice, the date specified by the Corporation as the date on which the Executive's employment will terminate) shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the Date of Termination and neither any period of notice nor any payment in lieu thereof upon termination of employment hereunder shall be considered as extending the period of employment for the purposes of vesting of options notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between the Corporation and the Executive. Notwithstanding anything 

contained in this Section 13, in the event of termination by the Corporation other than for Just Cause, the Executive shall have the right to exercise any options which are vested as at the Date of Termination for the 90 Day Period as defined in Section 12(d). Any unvested options which would have otherwise vested during such 90 Day Period shall continue to vest during that period and to the extent any unvested options have vested during such 90 Day Period, the Executive shall also be entitled to exercise those options within a rolling 90 day period after the date of vesting of such options, which period will not exceed 180 days following the Date of Termination.  In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 13 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event of termination due to death of the Executive, the estate of the Executive shall be entitled, at any time during the period which is 12 months following the date of death of the Executive (the “12 Month Period”), to exercise any options which have vested as at the date of death of the Executive.  In addition, any unvested options which would have otherwise vested during such 12 Month Period shall continue to vest during that period and to the extent of any unvested options have vested during such period, the Executive's estate shall be entitled to exercise those options within a period which starts on the day of vesting and ends 12 months from the date of death of the Executive.

For purposes of greater certainty, if the Executive is terminated for Just Cause, Death or if the Executive's employment hereunder is terminated by the Executive pursuant to Section 12(d) then no payment whatsoever shall be made to the Executive under Sections 13(b).
