Any question as to the existence of the Executive’s Disability as to which the Executive and the Company cannot agree will be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to the Executive and the Company. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and the Executive will be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will comply with all applicable requirements under applicable employment standards legislation and human rights legislation with respect to any disability, including any applicable requirements regarding medical leave and accommodation.

5.7
