Severance Payment. The Company shall pay the undersigned a severance payment of $2,035,000 (the “Severance Payment”), of which (i) $339,166 will be paid on the first payroll date occurring after the forty-fifth (45^th) day following the Separation Date and (ii) $1,695,834 will be paid over a ten (10) month period, in substantially equal installments, on the Company’s regular payroll dates beginning in the first month after the forty-fifth (45^th) day following the Separation Date.

(c)	Equity Award Treatment.

Stock Options. The undersigned currently holds 247,193 options to acquire ordinary shares of the Company (the “Options”), of which 82,397 Options are vested and 164,796 Options are unvested.

his withholding taxes in respect of the Equity Awards (other than the Restricted Shares), and that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may withhold the amount of such taxes from the other payments to be made under this Agreement.

(d)

Clawback. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) determines in good faith and on the advice of outside counsel that, during the term of his employment with the Company, the undersigned engaged in an act or omission constituting fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, dishonesty, misappropriation, gross negligence or other willful misconduct that contributed to material damage to the Company Group’s property or business or if the undersigned violates in any material respect the provisions of Section 3(e) of this Agreement, (i) the undersigned’s rights to the Severance Payment, continued health benefits and Equity Awards shall be nullified and become void and (ii) to the extent that any portion of the Severance Payment has already been paid to the undersigned (a “Clawback Amount”), the undersigned agrees to promptly reimburse the Company for the Clawback Amount, and until the undersigned repays such amount to the Company the Clawback Amount shall be a debt due and owing from the undersigned to the Company.

The undersigned agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, disparage or criticize any Company Released Party or make any statement that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to damage the business or reputation of any Company Released Party.

(a)	That the General Release specifically applies to any rights or claims the undersigned may have against the Company or any party released therein under ADEA.


(b)	That the General Release does not purport to waive rights or claims that may arise from acts or events occurring after the date of the undersigned’s execution of the General Release.

(e)

That the undersigned has been advised to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement and has been given a period of forty-five (45) days within which to consider whether to sign this Agreement and that, if the undersigned executes this Agreement prior to such forty-fifth (45^th) day, the undersigned acknowledges that he has waived his right to consider during the remainder of such period.


(f)	The undersigned acknowledges that, in deciding whether or not to execute this Agreement, he has not relied on any representations or statements not set forth in this Agreement.

(a)

Generally. The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the Company has not provided any advice regarding the tax liability resulting from this Agreement and that he has been advised to consult with his personal tax advisor or legal counsel as to the taxability of the Severance Payment and other benefits provided under this Agreement. The undersigned shall be solely responsible for taxes imposed on the undersigned by reason of any payments or benefits provided under this Agreement and all such payments and benefits shall be subject to applicable federal, state, local and foreign withholding requirements. Subject to Section 2(c)(vi) hereof and the Tax Equalization Policy, all payments to be made or benefits to be provided to the undersigned in accordance with this Agreement shall be made net of all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld from such payments.

(b)

Section 409A. The intent of the Parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement either comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), or be exempt from the application of Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith

and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the undersigned and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treas. Reg. 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), the undersigned’s rights to receive any installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each such installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all taxable reimbursements provided under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.

Choice of Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard for any conflict of law principles. The Parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with the Restrictive Covenants. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which the undersigned or the Company may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.

Arbitration. Except with respect to the Restrictive Covenants, the undersigned and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, arising from or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding, and (to the extent permitted by law) confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator in the State of Delaware or another location mutually agreed by the undersigned and the Company. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq., as amended, and shall be administered by the Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), in accordance with its then-current Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”). THE UNDERSIGNED AND THE COMPANY UNDERSTAND AND FULLY AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BOTH THE UNDERSIGNED AND THE COMPANY ARE GIVING UP THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY, AND ARE GIVING UP THE NORMAL RIGHTS OF APPEAL FOLLOWING THE RENDERING OF A DECISION, EXCEPT AS THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW ALLOW FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW OF ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either the undersigned or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration.


10.	Miscellaneous.


(a)	No Party may assign this Agreement without the express written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.


(b)	The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged only with the written consent of the Party in any way affected by the amendment, modification, waiver or discharge.


(c)	This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties to it and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.


(d)	If any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall be construed as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included.

(e)

This Agreement (including the General Release and Reaffirmed Release) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the members of the Company Group and the undersigned with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the undersigned and all members of the Company Group relating to such subject matter. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not supersede or extinguish any rights of the undersigned in respect of his equity investment in CHC Cayman, except as provided in the General Release.

(f)

All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by facsimile or sent, postage prepaid, by registered, certified or express mail or overnight courier service (i) to the Company, addressed to the attention of its General Counsel at the Company’s headquarters and (ii) to the undersigned, at the address contained in the records of the Company (which the undersigned shall update as necessary from time to time). This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including via facsimile or .pdf file).
