or if the Company terminates Employee’s employment by reason of Employee
becoming Disabled as defined in Section 3.5, or if Employee dies (in which case
the date of Employee’s death shall be considered his or her termination date),
in any case whether before or after a Change of Control as defined in Section
4.2(a), or if there is a deemed termination without just cause upon a Change of
Control as contemplated by Section 4.1(a), then Employee’s employment with the
Company shall terminate, as of the effective date of the termination, and in
lieu of any other severance benefit that would otherwise be payable to Employee:


(i)     the Company shall pay the following
amounts to Employee (or, in the case of termination by reason of Employee
becoming Disabled or upon the death of Employee, to Employee’s legal
representative or estate as applicable) after the effective date of such termination or in a manner and
at such later time as specified by Employee (or Employee’s legal
representative), and agreed to by the Company.

4 





(A)     all Accrued Obligations, less
required tax withholding, up to and including the date of termination, to be

Company prior to the effective date of termination of the Executive’s employment
in accordance with Section 2.3 above; 

(B)     an amount equal to one and one half
(1.5) (the “Severance Factor”) times Employee’s Base Salary in effect at the
time of such termination, less required tax withholding, to be paid within
thirty (30) working days after the date of termination of employment; and 

(C)     an amount equal to the greater of:


	 	I. 	
      the Severance Factor times the highest total aggregate
      cash bonus paid in any one of Employee’s last three years; or

	 	II. 	
      fifteen percent (15%) of Employee’s Base Salary in effect
      at the time of such termination,



less required tax withholding, to be
paid within thirty (30) working days after the date of termination of
employment; 

(ii)    Employee or
Employee’s legal representative will have up to the earlier of: (A) ninety (90)
days from the effective date of termination of Employee’s employment for all
cases other than the death of Employee and twelve (12) months from the effective
date of termination of Employee’s employment in the case of death of Employee;
and (B) the date on which the exercise period of the particular stock option
expires, to exercise only that portion of the stock options previously granted
to Employee that have not been exercised, but which have vested, and thereafter
Employee’s stock options will expire and Employee or his or her legal
representative will have no further right to exercise the stock options. Subject
to Section 4.1(c), any stock options held by Employee that are not yet vested at
the termination date immediately expire and are cancelled and forfeited to the
Company on the termination date. Any RSUs held by Employee that have vested on
or before the termination date shall be paid (or the shares issuable thereunder
issued) to Employee or his or her legal representative or estate as applicable.
Subject to Section 4.1(c), any RSUs held by Employee that are not vested on or
before the termination date will be immediately cancelled and forfeited to the
Company on the termination date. Subject to Section 4.1(c), the rights of

awards, as applicable; 

5 





(iii)   Upon termination, the Company or its
Successor (as defined in Section 4.1(a)), agrees to reimburse Employee the full
cost of the COBRA continuation rate charged for employee and dependent coverage,
through the EFRI Health and Welfare Plan on a monthly basis, for a period of
months equal to twelve times the Severance Factor (the “Coverage Period”),
beyond Employee’s termination month. Employee and his or her dependents may, at
their choosing, enroll in the COBRA continuation plan through EFRI for the first
eighteen months following Employee’s termination month or, if they choose, they
may enroll in a separate plan of their choosing, by using the reimbursement to
enroll in medical and prescription insurance of their choosing. Reimbursement at
the rate described herein will continue for the Coverage Period beyond
Employee’s termination month, but beginning with the nineteenth month, Employee
and his or her dependents will need to obtain coverage from a different source
than the COBRA continuation plan through EFRI. The reimbursement will be to
Employee and his or her dependents directly, will be non-taxable as a
reimbursement of cost for coverage of the premiums charged by the insurance
carriers for the COBRA continuation coverage for the current month of
reimbursement. The reimbursed cost of COBRA coverage will be indexed annually,
and will match the rate charged for any month of coverage available by the
insurance carrier for Medical, Dental, and Optical coverage through EFRI for
employee and spouse coverage. Both Employee and his or her dependents, will have
the option of purchasing a medical plan separate from the plan offered by EFRI;
and 

(iv)    nothing herein shall preclude the
Company from granting additional severance benefits to Employee upon termination
of employment. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Disability, any
Base Salary payable to Employee during the one hundred and eighty (180) day
period of disability will be reduced by the amount of any disability benefits
Employee receives or is entitled to receive as a result of any disability
insurance policies for which the Company has paid the premiums.

3.4     Definition of Just
Cause.

As used in this Agreement, the term “just cause” will mean any
one or more of the following events: 

(a)     theft, fraud, dishonesty,
misappropriation, or willful misconduct by Employee involving the property,
business or affairs of the Company or the discharge of Employee’s
responsibilities or the exercise of his or her authority; 

(b)     the willful failure by Employee to
properly discharge his or her responsibilities or to adhere to the policies of
the Company after notice by the Company of the failure to do so and an opportunity for Employee to correct the
failure within thirty (30) days from the receipt of such notice; 

6 





(c)     Employee’s gross negligence in the
discharge of his or her responsibilities or involving the property, business or
affairs of the Company to the material detriment of the Company; 

(d)     Employee’s conviction of a criminal
or other statutory offence that constitutes a felony or which has a potential
sentence of imprisonment greater than six (6) months or Employee’s conviction of
a criminal or other statutory offence involving, in the sole discretion of the
Board of Directors, moral turpitude; 

(e)     Employee’s breach of a fiduciary
duty owed to the Company; 

(f)     any breach by Employee of the
covenants contained in Articles V or VI below; 

(g)     Employee’s refusal to follow the
lawful written direction of the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company; 

(h)     any conduct of Employee which, in
the opinion of the Board of Directors, is materially detrimental or embarrassing
to the Company; or 

(i)     any other conduct by Employee that
would constitute “just cause” as that term is defined at law. 

If the parties disagree as to whether the Company had just
cause to terminate the Executive’s employment, the dispute will be submitted to
binding arbitration pursuant to Section 7.9 below. 

3.5     Definition of Disabled. As
used herein, “Disabled” shall mean a mental or physical impairment which, in the
reasonable opinion of a qualified doctor selected by the Company, renders
Employee unable, with or without reasonable accommodation, to perform with
reasonable diligence the ordinary functions and duties of Employee on a
full-time basis in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which inability
continues for a period of not less than 180 consecutive days. The providing of
service to the Company for up to two (2) three (3) day periods during the one
hundred and eighty (180) day period of disability will not affect the
determination as to whether Employee is Disabled and will not restart the one
hundred and eighty (180) day period of disability. If any dispute arises between
the parties as to whether Employee is Disabled, Employee will submit to an
examination by a physician selected by the mutual agreement of the Company and
Employee, at the Company’s expense. The decision of the physician will be
certified in writing to the Company, and will be sent by the Company to Employee
or Employee’s legally authorized representative, and will be conclusive for the
purposes of determining whether Employee is Disabled. If Employee fails to
submit to a medical examination within twenty (20) days after the Company’s
request, Employee will be deemed to have voluntarily terminated his or her
employment.

3.6     Return of Materials;
Confidential Information. In connection with Employee’s separation from
employment for any reason, Employee shall return any and all physical property
belonging to the Company, and all material of whatever type containing
“Confidential Information” as defined in Section 5.2 below, including, but not
limited to, any and all documents, whether in paper or electronic form, which
contain Confidential Information, any customer information, production
information, manufacturing-related information, pricing information, files,
memoranda, reports, pass codes/access cards, training or other reference
manuals, Company vehicle, telephone, gas cards or other Company credit cards,
keys, computers, laptops, including any computer disks, software, facsimile
machines, memory devices, printers, telephones, pagers or the like. 

3.7     Delivery of Release. Within
ten (10) working days after termination of Employee’s employment, and as a
condition for receipt of payments set forth in Section 3.3(b)(i)(B) and (C),
3(b)(iii), and 4.1(a), the Company shall provide to Employee, or Employee’s
legal representative, a form of written release, which form shall be
satisfactory to the Company and generally consistent with the form of release
used by the Company prior to such termination of employment (the “Release”) and
which shall provide a full release of all claims against the Company and its
corporate affiliates, except where Employee has been named as a defendant in a
legal action arising out of the performance of Employee’s responsibilities in
which case the Release will exempt any claims which Employee or his or her legal
representative or estate may have for indemnity by the Company with respect to
any such legal action. As a condition to the obligation of the Company to make
the payments provided for in such Sections Employee, or Employee’s legal
representative, shall execute and deliver the Release to the Company within the
time periods provided for in said release.

apply: 

(a)     If upon the Change of Control 

	 	i. 	
      Employee is not retained by the Company or its successor
      (whether direct or indirect, by purchase of assets, merger, consolidation,
      exchange of securities, amalgamation, arrangement or otherwise) to all or
      substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company
      (“Successor”) on the same terms and conditions as set out in this
      Agreement and in circumstances that would not constitute Good Reason

    place,



then Employee shall be deemed to be terminated without just
cause upon such Change of Control and shall be entitled to the compensation and
all other rights specified in Article III in the same amount and on the same
terms as if terminated without just cause as set out therein, subject to the
additional rights set out in paragraph (c) below; 

(b)     All rights of Employee in this
Agreement, including without limitation all rights to severance and other rights

      within twelve (12) months following the effective date of
      the Change of Control, the Company, or its successor, terminates the
      employment of Employee without just cause or by reason of Disability, or
      Employee terminates his or her employment under this Agreement for Good
      Reason,

Employee has under this Agreement, and notwithstanding any other provision in
this Agreement, all of the stock options previously granted to Employee that
have neither vested nor expired will automatically vest and become immediately
exercisable, any period of restriction and other restrictions imposed on all
RSUs shall lapse, and all RSUs shall be immediately settled and payable, and all
other securities awarded shall vest and/or accelerate in accordance with Article
16 of the EFI Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan or the comparable provisions of any
other equity incentive plan under which such securities may have been issued.
Employee will have ninety (90) days from the effective date of the termination
of Employee’s employment to exercise any stock options which had vested as of
the effective date of termination and thereafter Employee’s stock options will
expire and Employee will have no further right to exercise the stock options.

ARTICLE VI 
NON-COMPETITION AND
NON-SOLICITATION

6.1     Non-Competition. Employee
acknowledges that Employee’s services are unique and extraordinary. The
Executive also acknowledges that Employee’s position will give Employee access
to confidential information of substantial importance to the Copany and its
business. During the “Non-Competition Period” (as defined below) Employee will
not, whether individually or in partnership or jointly or in conjunction with
any other person, perform services for a competing business, or establish,
control, or own a beneficial interest in, any business in North America that
competes with the Company (other than owning a beneficial interest in less than
1% of the outstanding shares of a publicly traded company), without the prior
written approval of the Company. The Non-Competition Period will commence on
January 1, 2016 and end twelve (12) months after the effective date of the
termination of Employee’s employment irrespective of the time, manner or cause
of termination. 

6.2     Non-Solicitation. Employee
agrees that during the Non-Competition Period, Employee will not, either
individually or in partnership or jointly or in conjunction with any other
person, entity or organization, as principal, agent, consultant, contractor,
employer, employee or in any other manner, directly or indirectly: 

(a)     solicit business from any customer,
client or business relation of the Company, or prospective customer, client or
business relation that the Company was actively soliciting, whether or not
Employee had direct contact with such customer, client or business relation, for
the benefit or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation operating a business
which competes with the Company, or attempt to direct any such customer, client
or business relation away from the Company or to discontinue or alter any one or
more of their relationships with the Company, or 

(b)     hire or offer to hire or entice
away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any officer, employee, consultant,
independent contractor, agent, licensee, supplier, or business relation of the
Company to discontinue or alter any one of their relationships with the Company.

14 





6.3     Remedies for Breach of
Restrictive Covenants. Employee acknowledges that in connection with
Employee’s employment he or she will receive or will become eligible to receive
substantial benefits and compensation. Employee acknowledges that Employee’s
employment by the Company and all compensation and benefits from such employment
will be conferred by the Company upon Employee only because and on the condition
of Employee’s willingness to commit Employee’s best efforts and loyalty to the
Company, including protecting the Company’s confidential information and abiding
by the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in this
Agreement. Employee understands that his obligations set out in Article V and
this Article VI will not unduly restrict or curtail Employee’s legitimate
efforts to earn a livelihood following any termination of his or her employment
with the Company. Employee agrees that the restrictions contained in Article V
and this Article VI are reasonable and valid and all defenses to the strict
enforcement of these restrictions by the Company are waived by Employee.
Employee further acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by Employee of
any of the provisions contained in Article V or this Article VI would cause the
Company irreparable harm which could not be adequately compensated in damages
alone. Employee further acknowledges that it is essential to the effective
enforcement of this Agreement that, in addition to any other remedies to which
the Company may be entitled at law or in equity or otherwise, the Company will
be entitled to seek and obtain, in a summary manner, from any Court having
jurisdiction, interim, interlocutory, and permanent injunctive relief, specific
performance and other equitable remedies, without bond or other security being
required. In addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled
at law or in equity or otherwise, in the event of a breach of any of the
covenants or other obligations contained in this Agreement, the Company will be
entitled to an accounting and repayment of all profits, compensation, royalties,
commissions, remuneration or benefits which Employee directly or indirectly, has
realized or may realize relating to, arising out of, or in connection with any
such breach. Should a court of competent jurisdiction declare any of the
covenants set forth in Article V or this Article VI unenforceable, the court
shall be empowered to modify and reform such covenants so as to provide relief
reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the Company and Employee and to
award injunctive relief, or damages, or both, to which the Company may be
entitled.
