required by this Section shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days following the Termination Date.


 


(b) Definition of Cause.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of the following: (i) Executive’s misappropriation

of Directors; (ii) any unauthorized use or disclosure by Executive of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company
(or any parent or subsidiary of the Company); (iii) Executive’s failure to perform, or continuing neglect in the performance

Executive with written notice of such failure or neglect and the Executive has been afforded at least ten (10) business days to
cure such failure or neglect; (iv) Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendre (no contest) to, any felony
or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or fraud, or of any other crime involving material harm to the standing or reputation

effect upon the business or reputation of the Company; (vi) any other material breach or violation by the Executive of this Agreement,
the Company’s written code of conduct, or other written policy of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
have provided the Executive with written notice that such actions are occurring and the Executive has been afforded at least ten
(10) business days to cure; and (vii) any other reason recognized by Quebec law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in subparagraphs
(iii) and (vi), (A) the cure period shall not apply to violations of the Company’s code of conduct or prohibition against

authority, duties or responsibilities (and not simply a change in title or reporting relationships); (ii) a material reduction

Base Salary shall constitute a material reduction in Executive’s compensation); (iii) any breach by the Company of its obligations
under this Agreement that results in a material negative change to Executive; or (iv) the failure of any buyer or acquirer of the
Company in a change in control to assume the Company’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Good

such event, the Company does not cure such event within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Good Reason Notice from the Executive
and the Executive terminates his employment during the ninety (90)-day period beginning thirty (30) days after the Executive’s

either (i) by the Company, for Cause, or (ii), by the Executive, without Good Reason, prior to the one (1) year anniversary of
the Effective Date, then Executive shall not be entitled to the receipt or payment of any Restricted Stock; or (b) terminated either
(x) by the Company, without Cause, or (y) by the Executive, for Good Reason, prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective
Date, then Executive shall be entitled to the payment and receipt of all Restricted Stock, without any further vesting requirement.


 


6. Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement
and Cooperation.

At no time during or within three (3) years after Executive’s cessation of employment for any reason shall the Executive,
directly or indirectly, disparage the Company Group or any of the Company Group’s past or present employees, officers, directors,
attorneys, products or services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall prevent the Executive from making

to any litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement;
(c) required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof)
with jurisdiction over such person; or (d) made as good faith competitive statements in the ordinary course of business.


 


6.3 Cooperation.
Upon the receipt of reasonable notice from the Company (including from the Company’s outside counsel), the Executive agrees
that while employed by the Company and thereafter, the Executive will respond and provide information with regard to matters of
which the Executive has knowledge as a result of the Executive’s employment with the Company, and will provide reasonable
assistance to the Company Group and their respective representatives in defense of any claims that may be made against the Company
Group (or any member thereof), and will provide reasonable assistance to the Company Group in the prosecution of any claims that
may be made by the Company Group (or any member thereof), to the extent that such claims may relate to matters related to the Executive’s
period of employment with the Company (or any predecessors). If the Executive is required to provide any services pursuant to this
Section following the cessation of his employment, then the Company: (i) shall promptly compensate the Executive for all time actually
incurred in these activities at an hourly rate of pay equal to the Executive’s most recent annual Base Salary divided by
2080 hours; and (ii) shall promptly reimburse the Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket travel, lodging, communication and duplication
expenses incurred in connection with the performance of such services and in accordance with the Company’s business expense
reimbursement policies.


 


6.4 Injunctive Relief;
Interpretation. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Company, the Executive acknowledges that a breach
of any of the covenants contained in Section 6 may result in the material and irreparable injury to the Company, or their respective
affiliates or subsidiaries, for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such
injuries precisely and that, in the event of such breach or threat, the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order
and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the Executive from engaging in activities prohibited by Section 6. If
for any reason it is held that the restrictions under this Section 6 are not reasonable or that consideration therefor is inadequate,
such restrictions shall be interpreted or modified to include as much of the duration or scope of identified in this Section as
will render such restrictions valid and enforceable.
