2.3 Termination of Agreement upon Disability of Executive

If at the end of any month the Executive is and has been for a period of more than 12 consecutive months unable to perform the essential duties specified pursuant to this Agreement in the normal and regular manner due to mental or physical disability, this Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation on 30 days’ prior written notice. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.3, the Executive shall, after such termination, continue to be entitled to all benefits provided under the disability and pension plans of the Corporation or its affiliates applicable to the Executive at the date of and during the time of this Agreement.

2.4 Termination of Agreement by the Corporation for Cause

The Corporation may terminate this Agreement at any time without notice in the event the Executive shall be convicted of a criminal act of dishonesty resulting or intending to result directly or indirectly in gain or personal enrichment of the Executive at the expense of the Corporation, or for just cause as defined at common law, pursuant to written notice setting forth particulars of such cause.

2.5 Termination of Employment by the Corporation or the Executive

(a)

Except where such termination is pursuant to Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b), 2.2(c), 2.4 or 2.6 the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall apply:

where the Corporation terminates the employment of the Executive for any reason;

where the Executive terminates his employment with the Corporation within a period of 180 days following constructive dismissal of the Executive. For this purpose the Executive may within a period of 180 days following the constructive dismissal of the Executive terminate his employment with the Corporation upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Corporation. For greater clarity, the said 30 day notice may be given at any time up to the 150^th day of the said 180-day period; or

where the Corporation terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.3.

(b)

In the event of termination of employment as provided in Section 2.5(a), the Executive shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay to the Executive, a retiring allowance (the “Retiring Allowance”) computed as hereinafter provided, which shall include all statutory entitlement under employment standards legislation and all common law entitlement to reasonable notice. The Retiring Allowance shall be that amount which is equal to two times the sum of:

the Annual Salary; and

the average of the last two payments of the Annual Incentive Bonus paid to the Executive (or the last payment if there has not been more than one Annual Incentive Bonus paid to the Executive) immediately preceding the date of such termination of employment.

(c)

In addition to the Retiring Allowance calculated in accordance with Section 2.5(b):

the Corporation shall pay to the Executive the cash value of two times the last annual flex credit allowance provided to the Executive immediately preceding the date of such termination of employment under the Corporation’s flexible benefit program unless the Executive continues to be covered through the Corporation’s annuitant benefit program or the benefits program of another employer of equal value (and in the case that such other employer’s benefit program is of lesser value, the Executive shall be paid the difference in such values). Alternatively, at the Executive’s election, the Corporation shall provide continuation of the benefit coverage, for the applicable notice period, with the exception of those benefits which may not be continued pursuant to the applicable plan text, including long term disability coverage;

the Corporation shall pay to the Executive an Annual Incentive Bonus for the calendar year in which the termination of employment occurs, pro-rated based upon the number of days of employment of the Executive in the calendar year to the total number of days in the year and calculated based on the last Annual Incentive Bonus payment received by the Executive. In addition, the Executive shall receive all accrued and unpaid annual vacation pay to the date of termination. In addition, where the Executive holds rights under other plans to cash incentive compensation (including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any performance stock units) the Executive shall be paid for the period in which he was employed a pro-rated amount based upon the number of days in the applicable period under the plan the Executive was employed to the number of days in the applicable plan period and such amounts shall be paid to the Executive within 30 days of the date on which amounts so payable under such plans are determined;

the Corporation shall pay to the Executive the cash value of two times the last annual flexible perquisite allowance provided to the Executive immediately preceding the date of such termination of employment under the Corporation’s executive flexible perquisites program less any amounts prepaid to the Executive but unearned by virtue of such termination of employment (as of the effective date of this Agreement this amount is $35,000);

the Corporation shall pay to the Executive a lump sum payment equivalent to the Corporation’s portion of contributions on behalf of the Executive to the Corporation’s employee savings plan for a two year period based upon the base salary of the Executive as at the effective date of termination; and the Corporation shall pay for financial counselling and/or career counselling assistance for the Executive to a maximum of $20,000.

(d)

The Executive shall have, and shall be deemed to have had, as of the effective date of termination, two years of additional service added to the service already accrued at the effective date of termination under the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plan and supplemental benefit pension plan.

(e)

Notwithstanding the provisions of any plan under which such options have been issued, if at the effective date of termination of employment as provided in Section 2.5(a) the Executive holds exercisable but unexercised options for the purchase of shares or other securities under any of the Corporation’s or its affiliates’ stock option plans, the Executive shall be entitled to exercise all options so held in accordance with the terms of such plans; provided further that any provision in any such plan which purports to terminate such options in the event of termination of employment for any reason shall not be applicable or, if such provision is applicable under such plan to prevent such exercise, the provisions of Section 4.4 shall apply. If the Executive holds options for the purchase of shares or other securities under any of the Corporation’s or its affiliates’ stock option plans which are not vested or otherwise not exercisable at the date of termination of employment in circumstances where this Section 2.5 applies, the Corporation shall pay to the Executive a cash amount representing the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares or other securities on the date of termination of employment over the exercise price for such options. Fair market value on the date of termination of employment shall mean the last board lot sale price on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or such other exchange on which the greatest volume of trading of such shares or other securities takes place for the 30 trading days prior to the date of termination) on the last trading day prior to the date of termination of employment.

(f)

The Corporation and the Executive agree that the provisions of Section 2.5 are fair and reasonable and that the amounts payable by the Corporation to the Executive pursuant to Section 2.5 are reasonable estimates of the damages which will be suffered by the Executive in the event of the termination of his employment with the Corporation in the circumstances set out in Section 2.5, and shall not be construed as a penalty, nor shall the Executive be required to mitigate any loss resulting from the termination, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement.

(g)

The amounts payable by the Corporation to the Executive pursuant to Section 2.5 shall not be reduced by any amounts earned by the Executive after the termination of the employment of the Executive.

(h)

All amounts paid by the Corporation to the Executive pursuant to Section 2.5 shall satisfy and forever discharge all liabilities, claims or actions that the Executive may or shall have against the Corporation arising from the termination of employment of the Executive whether at common law or under statute or otherwise.

(i)

Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.5(c) and 2.5(e), the Corporation shall, at the option of the Executive, pay the amounts provided under this Section 2.5 to the Executive on the effective date that the employment of the Executive is terminated, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practical, but in any event within 30 days of the effective date of such termination, less all applicable statutory deductions, or arrange a schedule of instalment payments of such amounts as determined by the Executive. Upon payment to the Executive of the amounts provided for under this Section 2.5 and, if applicable, a duly signed written agreement of the Corporation to make all instalment payments thereof on a timely basis in accordance with the Executive’s determinations as provided for in the foregoing sentence, the Executive and the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the other the releases in the forms of Schedules A and B, respectively.

2.6 Other Termination by Executive

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in addition to the right of the Executive to terminate his employment under the circumstances described in Section 2.5, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and his employment with the Corporation at his pleasure upon 30 days’ prior written notice to such effect. In such event, the Executive shall not be entitled to any further compensation from the effective date of his termination of employment, except for such compensation as accrued prior to and on the effective date of termination of employment. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation shall have no remedy against the Executive, in law or otherwise, upon the termination of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2.6.

2.7 Pension Plans

The Corporation undertakes and agrees with the Executive (herein, the “supplementary undertaking”) to pay or cause to be paid to the Executive the amounts provided for in the supplemental benefit pension plan as modified by this Section 2.7, which amounts are supplemental to the amounts to be paid to the Executive under the defined benefit pension plan, such that the Executive will receive an annual pension equal to the annual pension that the Executive would be entitled to under the defined benefit pension plan but for the fact that retirement benefits under the defined benefit pension plan are subject to a maximum pension limitation as fixed from time to time under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the rules and regulations from time to time promulgated by Canada Revenue Agency thereunder. In particular, the Executive (or the Executive’s spouse or beneficiary as defined in the supplemental benefit pension plan) is entitled to receive:

(a)

benefits determined in accordance with the supplemental benefit pension plan, being certain amounts that would be payable from the defined benefit pension plan but for limitations imposed by the Income Tax Act (Canada), all as specified in the supplemental benefit pension plan; and

(b)

if Section 2.5(d) applies, benefits determined in accordance with the supplemental benefit pension plan pursuant to Section 2.7 (a) above as if:

(i)

two additional years of credited service were applied in the lifetime retirement income formula in the defined benefit pension plan, and two additional years of continuous service were granted for other purposes of the defined benefit pension plan;

(ii)

for the purposes of determining final or best average earnings, for each of the two additional years of credited service provided for pursuant to Section 2.7 (b) (i) above:

the Executive’s salary for such years shall be deemed to be his Annual Salary as at the date of termination of employment, and

the Annual Incentive Bonus used in calculating the Pensionable Bonus for each of such additional years shall be deemed to be the average of the last two payments of Annual Incentive Bonus paid to the Executive (or the last payment if there has not been more than one Annual Incentive Bonus paid to the executive immediately preceding the date of termination of employment).

The Corporation represents and undertakes to the Executive that the supplementary undertaking is and shall hereafter be maintained in a retirement compensation arrangement (as referred to in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) separately maintained under a trust arrangement established by the Corporation (the “RCA”). The supplementary undertaking shall be funded from amounts in the RCA with any amount that cannot be funded from the RCA being paid by the Corporation.

2.8 Continuing Provisions

Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement under Article 2, the provisions of Sections 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 and Article 3 and all other provisions hereof which by their terms are to be performed following the termination hereof shall survive such termination and be continuing obligations, and all rights of the Executive to compensation and benefits which have accrued prior to such termination shall remain payable and enforceable regardless of such termination.

ARTICLE 3

It is the expressed intent and agreement of the Executive and of the Corporation that such knowledge and experience shall be used solely and exclusively in the furtherance of the business interests of the Corporation and its affiliates and not in any manner detrimental to them. The Executive therefore agrees that so long as he is employed by the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement he shall not engage in any practice or business in competition with the business of the Corporation or any of its affiliates.

If any covenant or provision in this Section 3.2 is determined to be void or unenforceable in whole or in part, it shall be deemed not to affect or impair the validity of any other covenant or provision, and each of Sections 3.2(i) to (v) are hereby declared to be separate and distinct covenants (and for this purpose each province or state intended to be named in Section 3.2 (i)

and (iii) shall be considered to be set forth in a separate subclause of Section 3.2 and to be separate and distinct covenant). The Executive agrees that all the provisions of this Section 3.2 are reasonable in the interests of the Corporation and its continuing business and operations. The foregoing provisions of Section 3.2 shall not apply to the acquisition by the Executive, directly or indirectly, or through any Business Entity of up to 1% of the shares or other securities of a Business Entity quoted or traded on any public stock exchange in Canada or the United States.

If the Executive fails to comply with this Section 3.2, the Corporation shall be entitled to cancel all unvested or unexercised options or performance share units and to terminate the payment to the Executive of any amounts the Executive is entitled to under the Corporation’s supplemental benefit pension plan.

3.3 Non-Solicitation of Employees

Except with the prior written consent of the Corporation, the Executive shall not solicit or cause to be solicited for employment any officer or employee of the Corporation, any of its subsidiaries or any partnership where the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries acts as the general partner for a period of 24 months from the termination of the employment of the Executive with the Corporation. For this purpose, solicitation does not include advertising in periodicals or newspapers of general circulation.

If the Executive fails to comply with this Section 3.3, the Corporation shall be entitled to cancel all unvested or unexercised options or performance share units and to terminate the payment to the Executive of any amounts the Executive is entitled to under the Corporation’s supplemental benefit pension plan.

3.4 Confidentiality

The Executive further recognizes and understands that in the performance of his employment duties and responsibilities outlined in this Agreement, he will become knowledgeable, aware and possessed of Confidential Information concerning the business of the Corporation and its affiliates. The Executive agrees that, except with the consent of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or his superior, or as required by applicable law, he will not disclose such Confidential Information to any unauthorized persons so long as he is employed by the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is or becomes known or available to the public or to the competitors of the Corporation or its affiliates other than by a breach of this Agreement by the Executive.
