5 TERMINATION WITHOUT JUST CAUSE

If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Just Cause pursuant to section 4(b)(ii), then in addition to the ESA Entitlement and the payment of any Accrued Benefits, and subject to the Executive first providing the Company with an executed Release pursuant to section 4(e), the Company shall pay the Executive an amount (the “Severance Amount”) calculated as follows:

Upon receipt of a Notice of Termination from the Executive pursuant to this section 6, the Company may, at its option:

(a) direct that the Executive cease providing part or all of the Services and such direction will not constitute an express or constructive termination of the employment of the Executive by the Company, provided that the Company will remain bound to pay the Base Salary for the balance of the notice period provided by the Executive; or

Page 7 of 29

(b) terminate the employment of the Executive at any time within the notice period, including where the Company first elects to proceed with the option under section 6 (a) above, in which case, unless the termination is for Just Cause, the Company will pay the Executive only the lesser of either (i) an amount equal to the Base Salary from the date the Executive provided the Notice of Termination until the earlier of the date of resignation or retirement selected by the Executive and 90 days from the date the Executive provided the Notice of Termination, and (ii) the ESA Entitlement.

For clarity, if the Company elects to terminate the employment of the Executive after receiving Notice of Termination from the Executive, the Company will not owe the Executive the Severance Amount and all benefits coverage will cease as of the Date of Termination set out in the Employer’s Notice of Termination.

7 CHANGE IN CONTROL

If within 12 months following the effective date of a Change in Control,

(a) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Just Cause; or

(b) the Executive resigns from their employment with the Company for Good Reason, effective immediately, by providing the Company with a Notice of Termination specifying the basis for this resignation,

then,

(c) in addition to the ESA Entitlement and payment of the Accrued Benefits, and in lieu of paying the Executive the Severance Amount pursuant to section 5 (if applicable), subject to the Executive first providing the Company with an executed Release pursuant to section 4(e), the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount (the “Change in Control Severance Amount”) as follows:

(i) an amount equal to 12 months’ Base Salary less an amount equal to the ESA Entitlement provided by the Company to the Executive; plus

(ii) an amount equal to the average of the actual annual bonus payments, if any, made to the Executive from the previous 3 calendar years preceding the Date of Termination, pro-rated for the then current calendar year up to and including the Date of Termination.

The Company shall pay the Change in Control Severance Amount within 5 business days of the date that the Company receives the signed Release as per section 4(e) of this Agreement, provided that the Company, in its sole discretion, may pay the Change in Control Severance Amount by way of one or more lump sum payments, by way of salary continuance or by a combination of both; and

(d) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable Option Agreement or stock-based award agreement, all Options and other stock-based awards held by the Executive shall immediately accelerate, vest, and become fully exercisable or non-forfeitable as of the Date of Termination under this section 7.

Nothing in this Agreement is to be construed to obligate the Company to design or implement any compensation arrangement in a way that minimizes tax consequences for the Executive.

(b) Remedies.

If the Executive breaches any provision of this Agreement, then despite any term or condition to the contrary and without limitation to any remedy the Company may be entitled to, any entitlement of the Executive to remuneration that has not yet been paid or provided is immediately terminated except and only to the extent that the compensation is minimally owing under the ESA or any other applicable legislation.

(c) Assignment and Benefit. The Executive will not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder. The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor to the Company and in the event of such an assignment the provisions hereof will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, each successor of the Company, whether the successor arises by merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s successors and legal representatives.

Page 9 of 29

(d) Non-Waiver. Failure on the part of either party to complain of any act or failure to act of the other of them or to declare the other party in default of this Agreement, irrespective of how long such failure continues, will not constitute a waiver by such party of their rights hereunder or of the right to then or subsequently declare a default.

(e) Severability. If any provision in this Agreement including the Exhibits is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then to the greatest extent permitted by law the scope of any unenforceable provision will be deemed modified and diminished by the Parties to the minimum extent necessary to render such provision valid and enforceable, and in any event the invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement including the Exhibits.

(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and any Option Agreements, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the employment of the Executive and supersedes any and all agreements, understandings, warranties or representations of any kind, written or oral, express or implied, including any relating to the nature of the position or its duration including the Original Employment Agreement, and each of the parties releases and forever discharges the other of and from all manner of actions, causes of action, claim or demands whatsoever under or in respect of any agreement.

The place of arbitration will be Vancouver, British Columbia.

Either Party may apply to the arbitrator for injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Before an arbitrator is appointed or makes a final determination on the merits of the controversy, either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court of competent jurisdiction in British Columbia sitting in Vancouver any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party.

Any decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties and their respective successors and assigns and there shall be no right to appeal such decision, whether on a question of law, a question of fact, or a mixed question of law or fact.

Each Party shall bear its own costs of any arbitration proceedings commenced pursuant to this Agreement, including legal and travel costs, and the Parties shall equally share the fees of the Arbitrator and the facility fees.

Page 10 of 29

Human Rights Code or any other applicable legislation.
