 (“Executive”) 
 WHEREAS Employer wishes to employ the Executive in the position of Senior Vice President, for the CHC Helicopter group of companies which shall include CHC Helicopter S.A. and its direct and
indirect subsidiaries, and associated companies (together, “CHC”) and as President, for CHC’s Helicopter Services division (“HS”). 
 AND WHEREAS Employer and the Executive wish to provide for the following compensation to be paid to the Executive and other matters respecting his employment by Employer; 

THEREFORE Employer and the Executive in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein agree as follows: 

 

	1.	EMPLOYMENT 

 1.1 Employer acknowledges the
Executive will be employed as Senior Vice President of CHC and as President, HS. The Executive agrees to perform all duties and services commensurate with his position and as may be reasonably assigned or delegated to him from time to time by the
President and Chief Executive Officer of CHC. 
 1.2 The Executive agrees to devote his full working time and effort and attention to the
business, operations and affairs of CHC. The Executive will not join any boards or accept other external professional commitments without prior approval of the Board, provided that the Executive may, without the consent of the Board,
(i) purchase securities and otherwise invest his personal or family assets in any other company or business so long as those activities do not create a conflict of interest with his role with CHC and are not inconsistent with his duties under
this Agreement, (ii) write fictional and non-fictional books and articles for publication, and (iii) engage in governmental, political, educational or charitable activities, but only to the extent that those activities (A) are not
inconsistent with any direction of the Board or any duties under this Agreement, and (B) do not interfere with the devotion by the Executive of his time, attention and energies during normal business hours to the business of CHC. 

1.3 The Executive agrees to observe and be bound by CHC’s Code of Ethics and Integrity at all times during his term of employment and, where
applicable, thereafter.

 1.4 The Executive agrees to observe and be bound by all of CHC’s policies and procedures as they exist
from time to time, and to observe and be bound by all agreements relating to confidentiality and non-disclosure of sensitive information that the Executive is required to sign in the course of his duties under this Agreement and, where applicable,
thereafter. 
 1.5 The Executive agrees that the employment created hereby may be transferred to such affiliate of CHC as CHC may designate from
time to time for the purpose of employing executives of CHC provided that CHC shall guarantee the performance of such affiliate of its obligations to the Executive. 
 1.6 Employer and the Executive shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary Canadian visas and work permits required for the Executive to perform his duties hereunder and Employer
shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses, including legal fees and administrative charges, incurred by the Executive in connection with obtaining such visas and/or work permits. So long as the Executive complies with the obligation
set out in this subparagraph 1.6, the failure to obtain or the future revocation of any necessary Canadian visa or work permit shall not, in and of itself, constitute Cause, as subsequently defined herein. 

 

	2.	TERM OF EMPLOYMENT 

 2.1 This Agreement
shall be for an indefinite term commencing July 18, 2011 subject to the right of Employer or the Executive to terminate it in accordance with the provisions set out in paragraph 5 hereof. 

 

	3.	COMPENSATION 

 The Executive shall be paid
the following compensation: 
 3.1 Base Salary. Employer shall pay the Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) of US
$400,000 per annum. At the end of each fiscal year, Employer shall review the amount of the Executive’s Base Salary and shall maintain or increase such Base Salary for the following year to such amount as the President and Chief Executive
Officer in consultation with the Compensation Committee of the Board may determine in its discretion. Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with Employer’s normal payroll practices as they exist from time to time. 

3.2 Lump Sum Payment Signing Consideration. As valuable consideration for entering into this Agreement, Employer shall pay to the Executive, three
lump-sum payments of US$128,000 each as follows: the first payment upon commencement of this agreement, the second on October 1, 2011 and the third and final payment on January 1, 2012. If any payment date is a day on which banks are
closed for business in Vancouver, British Columbia then the payment due on that day shall be paid on the next following day on which banks are open for business in Vancouver, British Columbia. Should the Executive die prior to all payments due under
this subparagraph 3.2 being paid and provided that Executive has not resigned or been terminated for cause, Employer shall make any unpaid payments to the Executive’s estate. No payments shall be payable following Executive’s resignation
or termination for cause. 
 3.3 Tax Equalization. The Executive shall be entitled to the benefits of CHC’s Tax Equalization Policy
as it exists from time to time.

3.6 The Executive shall be eligible for an annual bonus (STIP Bonus) pursuant to the STIP with a target payout of 85% of his Base Salary. A specific
amount of the STIP Bonus shall be determined as a function of performance against pre-negotiated annual objectives. The maximum STIP Bonus is governed by the terms of the STIP. Payment of STIP Bonuses shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
the STIP and, for better certainty, shall be dependent upon CHC meeting the corporate performance thresholds for paying STIP Bonuses as they are established by CHC from time to time. 
 3.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, provided the Executive has not resigned or been terminated for Cause prior to the end of the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012, the
Employer shall pay the Executive on May 1, 2012 the sum of US$255,000. In the event, the Executive’s entitlement to a bonus pursuant to STIP for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012 is determined to be greater than US$255,000, the
Employer shall on the date that bonus payments under the STIP are generally payable pay to the Executive the additional amount by which such bonus exceeds US$255,000. 
 3.8 Subject to the terms and conditions of the SIP, the Executive shall be granted options to purchase 1,200,000 Ordinary B Shares of 6922767 Holding (Cayman) Inc. (“CaymanCo”) at an exercise

Executive as a result of the subscription for such Special A Shares. 
 3.10 If the Executive subscribes for 475,000 Ordinary B Shares of
CaymanCo at a subscription price of US$1.00 per share within six months of the date of this Agreement, then upon payment of the aggregate subscription price for such shares, the Executive shall be granted an additional 1,583,000 options to purchase
ordinary B Shares at an exercise price of US$1.00 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SIP and the Employer shall pay to the Executive a sum, which after deduction of any applicable income tax, shall equal US$57,000. 

3.11 Other Compensation Arrangements. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in other bonus, compensation and stock option arrangements,
as they exist from time to time. 
 3.12 Automobile Allowance. Employer will provide the Executive with an automobile allowance of USD
$900 per month and shall pay all reasonable operating costs for the use of the vehicle. 
 3.13 Other Benefits. The Executive shall be
entitled to participate in all employee insurance and other benefit plans as may be provided by Employer to its executive employees which may include medical, dental, insurance and other plans as may be introduced, changed or terminated from time to
time by CHC. Where any benefit plan has a waiting period before a new employee can participate in such plan that cannot be waived by the Employer, the Employer shall pay the cost of Executive’s COBRA coverage during any such waiting period. Any
insurance coverage provided by Employer to Executive shall not prohibit Executive from piloting private aircraft and shall cover Executive while piloting private aircraft.

	 	(i)	a transaction or series of transactions as a result of which there is direct or indirect acquisition, by a “person” or “group” of persons (as such
terms are used in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as now and hereafter amended), other than the person or group of persons (or their respective affiliates) who hold at least 50% of the voting securities of CHC Helicopter
S.A. on the effective date of this Agreement, acting jointly or in concert, of voting securities of CHC Helicopter S.A. that when taken together with any voting securities owned directly or indirectly by such person or group of persons at the time

	 	(d)	“Good Reason” shall mean: 

  

	 	(i)	the Executive is assigned duties inconsistent with his position or duties hereunder and which result in a material reduction in the nature or scope of the powers,
authority, functions, or duties of the Executive; 

  

	 	(ii)	a material decrease in the Executive’s compensation under this Agreement or a failure by CHC to pay any material amounts due to the Executive hereunder or
otherwise comply with any of the material provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(e)	“Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets
forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specifies the proposed termination date. No purported termination of

months. 

 5.2 Termination for Cause 
 The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by Employer for Cause by giving the Executive Notice of Termination. The Executive shall have ten (10) business days after such
Notice of Termination is received to cure such conduct, to the extent cure is possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing Employer may not terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause unless the Executive is provided with written notice and the
opportunity to address a special meeting called by the Board to consider the termination of the Executive’s employment and the termination is approved by the Board at such meeting. The Executive shall be provided with written notice of this
meeting no less than five (5) days prior. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer for Cause, Employer shall pay to the Executive all amounts properly due and owing up to the date of termination and shall have no further
compensation obligations to the Executive under this Agreement. 
 5.3 Termination for Death or Disability 

The Executive’s employment under this Agreement will be terminated upon the death of the Executive or upon the Executive becoming permanently
disabled. While Employer will attempt to accommodate any Permanent Disability suffered by the Executive, Employer and the Executive recognize it is a fundamental term of this Agreement that the Executive be able to attend actively at work in British
Columbia (or future locations of a CHC head office) and frequently to travel globally. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, given the nature of CHC’s business and the critical importance of the Executive’s position in the operations
of CHC, it would constitute an unreasonable accommodation on the part of Employer to operate without the services of the Executive for more than one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive days or for more than one hundred and eighty
(180) non-consecutive days in any twelve (12) consecutive months. Further, the Executive acknowledges that it would be impractical for 

  
 Page 6 of 15









 
Employer to hire a replacement for the Executive, unless the replacement is hired on a permanent basis. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of Permanent
Disability, Employer shall pay to the Executive the amounts set out in subparagraph 5.4(a) of this Agreement in the manner set out therein. 

5.4 Termination by Employer other than for Cause. Disability or Death 

 

	 	(a)	Employer may terminate the employment of the Executive on written notice to the Executive and on the earlier of 90 days following the date of such termination and the
date upon which the Executive provides the release referred to in paragraph 5.4(b) below, shall provide to the Executive: 

  

	 	(i)	Base Salary accrued to the date of termination; 

  

	 	(ii)	A lump sum amount to reflect the bonus the Executive would have earned under the STIP in the year of termination pro-rated according to the number of days in the year
prior to the termination date, divided by 365. Any pro-rated bonus shall be based on the average bonus earned by the Executive under the STIP in each of the two years immediately preceding the year in which the termination occurred. In the event the
Executive is terminated prior to completing two years of service, the pro-rated bonus shall be calculated based on the prior year bonus under the STIP and in the event the Executive is terminated prior to completing one year of service, the
pro-rated bonus shall be based on the target bonus under the STIP for the uncompleted year of service; 

  

	 	(iii)	Any expense amounts properly accruing to the Executive pursuant to paragraph 3 or otherwise reimbursable to the Executive under this Agreement;


  

	 	(iv)	In addition to the above, the Executive shall be entitled to: 

  

	 	(1)	a lump sum amount equal to twelve (12) months of the Executive’s then Base Salary; 


 

	 	(2)	subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable benefit plan, the continuation of the Executive’s medical and insurance benefits, as set out in paragraph 3
of this Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months. 

  

	 	(b)	The Executive understands and agrees that prior to receiving the payments noted in paragraph 5.4(a), he will sign a general release in a form satisfactory to Employer
and to the Executive. The general release shall not release the obligation to make such payments or any obligations which under the terms of paragraph 22 below are to survive. 

 5.5 Termination on a Change of Control or Good Reason 
  

	 	(a)	During the Change of Control Period, if the Executive resigns or if the Executive’s employment with Employer is terminated, other than for Cause, Employer will,
immediately upon termination of employment, pay to the Executive the amount of payments and benefits set out in paragraph 5.4(a) of this Agreement. 


  
 Page 7 of 15










	 	(b)	Upon the occurrence of a Good Reason event, at the Executive’s election, of which the Executive shall advise Employer, by notice in writing within ninety
(90) days of the event, and provided that the event described herein has not been remedied by Employer within thirty (30) days of receiving the said notice in writing, the Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been terminated by Employer and Employer will, immediately upon termination of employment, pay to the Executive the amount of payments and benefits set out in paragraph 5.4(a) of this Agreement. 


5.6 Resignation by the Executive 
 The
Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment under this Agreement upon giving Employer at least three (3) months prior written notice of resignation. Employer may, at its option, waive such notice and if it does so, the Executive
shall be deemed to have resigned as of the date Employer waives such notice. If the Executive’s employment is terminated under this paragraph 5.6, Employer shall pay to the Executive all amounts properly arising up to the date of termination
and shall have no further compensation obligations to the Executive under this Agreement. 
 5.7 No Further Payments 

The Executive acknowledges and agrees that unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the Executive and Employer, the Executive shall not be
entitled, by reason of the Executive’s employment with Employer or by reason of any termination of such employment, howsoever arising, to any remuneration, compensation or other benefits other than those expressly provided for or referenced in
this Agreement. 
  

	6.	INDEMNIFICATION 

 The Executive shall be
indemnified and held harmless by Employer against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by him, (other than by reason of the
Executive’s dishonesty, wilful default or fraud), in or about the conduct of the business or affairs of CHC (including as a result of any mistake of judgement) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions,
including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), losses or liabilities incurred by him in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning
CHC or its affairs in any court whether in Canada or elsewhere. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive’s employment has been terminated for Cause, and such event constituting cause is directly related to the Executive’s need for
indemnification, Employer shall have no obligation whatsoever to indemnify the Executive for any claim arising out of such event constituting Cause. The Employer shall cover the Executive under the directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance obtained by CHC in the same amount and to the same extent as CHC covers directors and officers of CHC group companies. 
  

	7.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

 7.1 The
Executive acknowledges that, by reason of the Executive’s employment with Employer, the Executive will have access to Confidential Information, as hereinafter defined, of CHC, that CHC has spent time, effort and money to develop and acquire.

Executive’s duties hereunder. The obligation of confidentiality imposed by this Agreement shall not apply to information that appears in issued patents or printed publications, that otherwise becomes generally known in the industry through no
act of the Executive in breach of this Agreement, or that is required to be disclosed by court order or applicable law. 
 7.4 The Executive

of CHC and all copyrights, patents, patent rights, trademarks, service marks and reproduction rights to, and other proprietary rights in, each such Invention, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, will belong exclusively to CHC. For purposes
of the copyright laws of the United States of America, to the extent, if any, that such laws are applicable to any such Invention or any such service or product, it will be considered a work made for hire and CHC will be considered the author

	9.	NON-COMPETITION 

 9.1 The Executive

experience and knowledge with respect to all aspects of CHC’s global helicopter services and other businesses carried on by CHC and its affiliates and the manner in which such businesses are conducted. It is the express intent and agreement of
the Executive and Employer that such knowledge and experience shall not be used in any manner which would be detrimental to the business interests of CHC and such affiliates whether during the currency of his employment by Employer or at any time
following the termination of his employment with Employer. The Executive covenants and agrees with Employer that the Executive will not, without the prior written consent of Employer, at any time within a period of twelve (12) months following
the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, either individually or in partnership or in conjunction with any person, whether as principal, agent, shareholder, director, officer, employee, investor, or in any other manner
whatsoever, directly or indirectly, advise, manage, carry on, be engaged in, own or lend money to, or permit the Executive’s name or any part thereof to be used or employed by any person managing, carrying on or engaged in a business of
supplying global, national or local helicopter (including helicopter maintenance) services. 
 9.2 The Executive shall not, for a period of
twelve (12) months after the termination of employment for any reason, without the prior written consent of Employer, for his account or jointly with another, either directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of himself or any individual,
partnership, corporation or other legal entity, as principal, agent, employee or otherwise, solicit, influence, entice or induce, attempt to solicit, influence, entice or induce: 

 

	 	(a)	any person who is employed by CHC or any affiliated company to leave such employment; or

predecessor of Employer, been a customer of CHC, an affiliate company, or of any of their respective predecessors, provided that this subparagraph shall not prohibit the Executive from soliciting business from any such customer if the business is in
no way similar to the business carried on by CHC, an affiliated company, any of their respective predecessors, subsidiaries or associates to cease its relationship with CHC or any affiliated company. 


 

	10.	INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 

 10.1 The Executive
understands and agrees that CHC has a material interest in preserving the relationships it has developed with its customers against impairment by competitive activities of a former employee. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that the restrictions
and covenants contained in paragraphs 7 and 9 are reasonably required for the protection of CHC and its goodwill and that his agreement to same by his execution of this Agreement are of the essence to this Agreement and constitute a material
inducement to Employer to enter into this Agreement and to employ the Executive, and that Employer would not enter into this Agreement absent such an inducement. 
 10.2 The parties recognize that a breach by the Executive of any of the covenants herein contained would result in damages to CHC and that CHC could not adequately be compensated for such

damages by monetary award. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of any such breach, in addition to all other remedies available to CHC at law or in equity, CHC shall be entitled as
a matter of right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for such relief by way of restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise, as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

10.3 The parties further agree that a breach by the Executive of any of the covenants contained in paragraphs 7, and 9 will nullify and make void the
obligation that Employer has to make the payments referred to in paragraph 5 and where such payments have already been made, the Executive agrees to reimburse Employer the amount paid. Where the Executive fails to reimburse Employer, the amount paid
to the Executive shall be a debt due and owing from the Executive to Employer. The parties also agree that a breach by the Employer of its obligation to make the payments referred to in subparagraphs 5(3), 5(4) and 5(5) of this Agreement will
nullify and make void the Executive’s obligations under paragraph 9. 
 10.4 The parties agree that all restrictions in paragraphs 7, 8 and
9 of this Agreement are necessary and fundamental to the protection of the business of CHC and are reasonable and valid, and all defences to the strict enforcement thereof by CHC are hereby waived by the Executive, other than any defence based upon
a breach by the Employer of its obligation to make the payments referred to in subparagraphs 5(3), 5(4) and 5(5) of this Agreement.

 Employer shall
require any subsequent successor, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the business assets of Employer or CHC to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same

	18.	WAIVER OF BREACH 

 The failure at any time
to enforce or exercise any right under any of the provisions of this Agreement or to require at any time performance by the other parties of any of the provisions hereof shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or to affect
either the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof, or the right of any party hereafter to enforce or exercise its rights under each and every provision in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

 

	19.	NO ATTACHMENT 

 Except as required by law,
no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy or similar process or assignment by
operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph 19 shall preclude the assumption of such rights by executors,
administrators or other legal representatives of the Executive or his estate and their assigning any rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto.

 Any dispute arising out of
or relating to the application or interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Act of British Columbia except for any dispute arising from

	21.	SEVERABILITY 

 The invalidity or
unenforceability of any term, phrase, clause, paragraph, restriction, covenant, agreement or other provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, or any part thereof, but this Agreement shall be
construed as if such invalid or unenforceable term, phrase, clause, paragraph, restriction, covenant, agreement or other provision had never been contained herein unless the deletion of such term, phrase, clause, paragraph, restriction, covenant,
agreement or other provision would result in such a material change as to cause the covenants and agreements contained herein to be unreasonable or would materially and adversely frustrate the objectives of the parties as expressed in this
Agreement. 
  

	22.	SURVIVAL 

 The obligations set out in
paragraph 3, 4, and 5 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain binding upon Employer until such time as such benefits are paid in full to the Executive or his estate. The obligations set out in paragraphs 6,
7, 8 and 10 of this Agreement shall survive indefinitely and the obligations set out in paragraph 9 shall survive for twelve (12) months following termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement.
