      duties and responsibilities to Klondex G&S (and for Affiliates with
      respect to services Employee provides to them as an employee of Klondex
      G&S) pursuant to this Agreement, the Employee will obtain access to

	 	(iii) 	
      not directly or indirectly disclose, allow access to or
      transfer the Confidential Information to any third party (other than
      Klondex G&S or its directors, officers, bankers, lenders and financial
      advisors in the course of his employment or at the express direction of
      the Board of Directors of Klondex G&S).




	4.5 	
      Remedy



The parties acknowledge and agree that provisions of Sections
4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 are reasonable in the circumstances and that a breach by
the Employee of any such provisions would cause irreparable harm to Klondex
G&S, Affiliates and Related Entities, which could not be adequately
compensated for by damages; and in the event of a breach of the said provisions
by the Employee, the Employee consents to an injunction being issued restraining
the Employee from any further breach thereof, but the provisions herein shall

sole discretion, waive the Resignation Period in whole or in part by paying the
Employee's Base Salary and continuing the Employee's group benefits coverage to
the effective date of resignation. The Employee agrees that such waiver will not
constitute termination of the Employee's employment by Klondex G&S. In the

whatsoever.

      Termination with Cause




	 	(a) 	
      Klondex G&S may terminate the Employee's employment
      and this Agreement at any time without notice for just cause. For the
      purposes of this Agreement, "just cause" means:

      the non-performance, breach or default by the Employee of
      or under any of his covenants in this Agreement;

	 	 	 	 
	 			
      the failure by Employee to substantially perform
      Employee's duties with Klondex G&S (other than any such failure
      resulting from the Employee's disability as defined under the disability
      plans or programs as in effect for employees of Klondex G&S from time
      to time) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered
      to the Employee that specifically identifies the manner in which Klondex
      G&S believes that the Employee has not substantially performed the
      Employee's duties, and the Employee has failed to resume on a continuous
      basis substantial performance of the Employee's duties (as determined by
      Klondex G&S) within 30 days of such written demand;

	 	 	 	 
	 		(ii) 	
      Employee's disregard of or failure to comply with any
      lawful directive or instruction, written or otherwise, from the Board of
      Directors of Klondex G&S or any other person to whom Employee reports
      if such failure or disregard has a material adverse effect upon Klondex
      G&S or Affiliates;

	 	 	 	 
	 		(iii) 	
      negligence by Employee which causes, or which would
      reasonably be expected to cause, Klondex G&S or Affiliates material
      harm;

	 	 	 	 
	 		(iv) 	
      Employee's material violation of applicable state,
      provincial or federal law relating to the business of Klondex G&S and
      Affiliates;

	 	 	 	 
	 		(v) 	
      Employee's commission during the course of employment of
      any act of dishonesty, theft, fraud, embezzlement. misappropriation,
      assault, battery, malicious destruction of property, arson, sabotage,
      harassment, acts or omissions which violate the rules or policies (such as
      breaches of confidentiality) of Klondex G&S (or an Affiliate, to the
      extent applicable), or other conduct which demonstrates a disregard of the
      interests of Klondex G&S and Affiliates (regardless of whether the
      misconduct occurs on the premises of Klondex G&S); or

	 	 	 	 
	 		(vi) 	
      Employee's conviction of a crime (including, without
      limitation, a misdemeanor offense) which impairs Employee's ability
      substantially to perform Employee's duties under this Agreement.

	 	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      If the Employee's employment and this Agreement are
      terminated under this section, the Employee shall not be entitled to
      receive any further pay or compensation (except for Base Salary and
      vacation pay, if any, accrued and owing under this Agreement up to the
      Termination Date), severance pay, notice, payment in lieu of notice, benefits or damages of any kind, and
for clarity, without limiting the foregoing, the Employee shall not be entitled
to any bonus or pro-rata bonus payment that has not already been paid to the
Employee on or before the Termination Date. All unexercised stock options,
whether vested or unvested, in Klondex Mines held by the Employee shall be
forfeited without any consideration or damages of any kind on the Termination
Date.

	5.4 	
      Termination without
Cause




	 	(a) 	
      If the Employee experiences an involuntary termination of
      employment by Klondex G&S (or any successor) for any reason other than
      for just cause, then Klondex G&S (or its successor) shall provide the
      Employee with written notice specifying the Termination Date. Klondex
      G&S shall pay the Employee for all accrued but unpaid wages and
      vacation entitlements up to the Termination Date (net of applicable
      withholdings). In addition, provided that the Release under Section 5.4(c)
      has been executed and becomes enforceable in accordance with its terms
      following the expiration of the applicable revocation period, Klondex
      G&S shall provide to the Employee a lump sum separation payment, net
      of applicable withholdings and less any amounts owing by the Employee to
      Klondex G&S, (the "Separation Payment") equal to:

	 	 	 	 
	 		(i) 	
      the Employee's monthly Base Salary (determined as of the
      Termination Date) multiplied by 12, provided that for each completed year
      of service (but not to exceed six years) measured from the Employee's date
      of hire on November 15, 2012 (the “Employee’s Date of Hire”), an
      additional amount equal to one month's base salary will be added;
    plus

	 	 	 	 
	 		(ii) 	
      the monthly premium cost of coverage described in Section
      2.3 multiplied by 12, provided that for each completed year of service
      (but not to exceed six years) measured from the Employee's Date of Hire an
      additional amount equal to one month's premium cost will be added;
    plus

	 	 	 	 
	 		(iii) 	
      an amount equal to the Employee's then current target
      bonus amount pursuant to Section 2.2 for the year in which the Termination
      Date occurs (or if the target bonus amount for the year in which the
      Termination Date occurs has not been determined as of the Termination
      Date, the target bonus amount for the year prior to the Termination Date)
      plus an additional amount equal to 1/12th of such bonus amount for each
      completed year of service (but not to exceed six years) measured from the
      Employee's Date of Hire; plus

	 	 	 	 
	 		(iv) 	
      An amount equal to 4% of the Employee's monthly Base
      Salary (determined as of the Termination Date) multiplied by 12, provided
      that for each completed year of service (but not to exceed six years)
      measured from the Employee's Date of Hire, an additional amount equal to
      4% of one month's base salary will be added.  







- 10 -

 For greater certainty, in no circumstances shall the Employee
be entitled to a Separation Payment that is more than the equivalent of a total
of 18 months of the payments in paragraphs 5.4(a)(i),(ii),(iii) and (iv) above
(i.e., 12 months plus an additional month for each of the first six years of
completed of service from Employee's Date of Hire, up to a maximum of an
additional 6 months). With respect to the calculation in paragraph 5.4(a)(iii),
the target annual bonus amount shall be used without regard to the achievement
of any corporate and personal targets established in connection with such target
bonus amount.


	 	(b) 	
      The Separation Payment described in this Section 5.4 will
      be paid within 10 days following the expiration of the revocation period
      applicable to the Release (as described in Section 5.4(c)), unless the
      Employee has failed to execute a Release as described in Section 5.4(c),
      in which case Employee shall forfeit any Separation Payment. The
      Separation Payment is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the
      Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and therefore will
      be paid by March 15th of the calendar year following the
      calendar year in which the notice of termination is given, provided that
      if the notice of termination specifies a termination date that will occur
      in a subsequent calendar year and further specifies that the Employee is
      required to continue providing service through that later termination
      date, then such payment will be paid by March 15th of the
      calendar year following the Employee's termination date (such date, in
      either case, referred to herein as the "latest payment date").

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      In order for the Employee to receive the Separation
      Payment, the Employee must sign a release of claims ("Release") in
      substantially the form set forth in Attachment A to this Agreement on or
      prior to the date of the expiration of the consideration period (not less
      than 21 days) set forth in the Release. The Company agrees to provide the
      Employee with the Release within 10 days of the Termination Date, and in
      all cases no later than a date such that the last day of any revocation
      period described in the Release will occur on or before February 28 of the
      year in which the latest payment date occurs. If the Employee fails to
      sign the release within the time frame specified therein, the Employee
      will forfeit any right to the Separation Pay and the Employee shall not be
      entitled to any payments replacing the Separation Payment.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      In the event the Company terminates the Agreement and the
      Employee's employment under this section, all outstanding equity awards
      granted under compensatory plans shall vest 100%; provided however, if an
      outstanding equity award is subject to Section 409A, the acceleration of
      vesting will not change the time or form of payment in a manner that would
      violate Section 409A; if an outstanding equity award is exempt from
      Section 409A, the award will be administered in a manner that retains such
      exemption or otherwise complies with Section 409A.

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      In the event the Company terminates the Agreement and the
      Employee's employment under this section, the Employee shall have ninety
      (90) days from the Termination Date to exercise any stock options to
      acquire shares of Klondex Mines (or any successor) that he holds that have vested and are
unexercised on or before the Termination Date. The Employee shall not be
entitled to be awarded or have any right to receive, after the Termination Date,
any further stock options or damages in lieu of receipt of further stock
options, which would have vested after the Termination Date. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section 5.4 or as otherwise provided under minimum employment
standards legislation, the Employee shall not be entitled to any further
termination payments, damages or compensation whatsoever.

	 	(f) 	
      The Separation Payment is attributable to services
      performed in the United States.




	5.5 	
      Termination in the Event of a Change of
    Control

	 	 	 	 
		(a) 	
      For the purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of
      Control" means:

	 	 	 	 
			(i) 	
      the direct or indirect sale, lease, exchange or other
      transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Klondex Mines to any
      person or entity or group of persons or entities, but not including the
      entering into of an option, joint venture or other arrangement whereby
      Klondex Mines transfers, or has the right to transfer, an interest in its
      mineral properties yet maintains control, majority ownership or an
      operating interest in the mineral properties, resulting entity or new
      arrangement;

	 	 	 	 
			(ii) 	
      the amalgamation, merger or arrangement of Klondex Mines
      with or into another entity where the shareholders of Klondex Mines
      immediately prior to the transaction will hold less than 50% of the voting
      securities of the resulting entity upon completion of the
    transaction;

	 	 	 	 
			(iii) 	
      any person or combination of persons acting jointly or in
      concert, acquiring or becoming the beneficial owner of, directly or
      indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting securities of Klondex Mines
      whether through the acquisition of previously issued and outstanding
      voting securities of Klondex Mines or of voting securities of Klondex
      Mines that have not previously been issued or any combination thereof or
      any other transaction with similar effect; or

	 	 	 	 
			(iv) 	
      the Board of Directors of Klondex Mines adopting a
      resolution to the effect that, for purposes of the Agreement, a Change of
      Control has occurred, or that such a Change of Control is imminent, in
      which case, the date of the Change of Control shall be deemed to be the
      date of such resolution.

	 	 	 	 
		(b) 	
      For the purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason"
      means the continued occurrence of any of the following conditions without
      Employee's consent after the Employee has given Klondex G&S written
      notice of such condition within thirty days following the initial
      existence of the condition, and Klondex G&S has failed to cure such
      condition within 30 days of the date it received notice of the
      condition:







- 12 - 

	 	(i) 	
      Klondex G&S assigning to the Employee duties
      materially inconsistent with the Employee's duties and responsibilities
      under this Agreement, including those management duties performed by
      Employee, as an employee of Klondex G&S, for Klondex Mines or an
      Affiliate;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      a unilateral reduction by Klondex G&S of the
      Employee's Base Salary, or any unilateral change in the basis upon which
      the Employee's Base Salary is determined or paid if the change is or will
      be materially adverse to the Employee, except where (x) such reduction or
      change is part of a general reduction in the base salary of all or
      substantially all of the members of management of Klondex G&S and
      which affects the Employee in substantially the same manner as the other
      members of the management of Klondex G&S who are also affected by such
      general reduction and (y) such change does not constitute more than ten
      percent (10%) of the Employee's Base Salary;

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      Klondex G&S unilaterally relocating the Employee's
      principal location more than 100 miles from the Employee's current work
      location (i.e., Klondex G&S's Reno, Nevada office);
or

	 	 	 
	 	(iv) 	
      any material breach by Klondex G&S of any provision
      of this Agreement, which is not cured by Klondex G&S within thirty
      (30) days following written notice from the
Employee.




	 	(c) 	
      Notwithstanding Section 5.4, if, within one hundred and
      eighty (180) days following a Change of Control, the Employee experiences
      an involuntary termination of employment by Klondex G&S or any
      successor entity without just cause or if the Employee terminates
      employment for Good Reason, provided that a Release as described in
      Section 5.4(c) has been executed and becomes enforceable in accordance
      with its terms following the expiration of the applicable revocation
      period, then:




	 	(i) 	
      all unvested stock options to acquire shares of Klondex
      Mines (or any successor) held by the Employee shall immediately vest on
      the Termination Date and the Employee shall have one (1) year after the
      date of the Change of Control to exercise the vested stock
  options;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      Klondex G&S shall provide the Employee with a
      lump-sum payment equal to the Separation Payment the Employee would have
      received under Sections 5.4(a);

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further
      pay or compensation (except for Base Salary, if any, accrued and owing
      under this Agreement up to the Termination Date), severance pay, notice,
      payment in lieu of notice, benefits or damages of any kind, and for
      clarity, without limiting the foregoing, the Employee shall not be
      entitled to any bonus or pro-rata bonus payment that has not already been paid
to the Employee on or before the Termination Date; and 







- 13 -

	 	(iv) 	
      The lump sum payment described in this Section 5.5 will
      be paid within 10 days following the expiration of the revocation period
      applicable to the Release (as described in Section 5.4(c)), and in all
      cases by March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar
      year in which the Employee's Termination Date occurs (in the case of an
      involuntary termination by the Company) or the calendar year in which the
      Employee's notice to the Company of termination for Good Reason occurs (in
      the case of Employee's termination for Good
Reason).



For greater certainty, if the
Employee's employment is terminated without Cause one hundred and eighty-one
(181) days or more after the Change of Control the Employee's entitlements will
be as per Section 5.4 above. 

	 	(d) 	
      The lump sum payment is attributable to services
      performed in the United States.




	5.6 	
      Return of Property



In the event that the Employee's employment terminates for any
reason, the Employee agrees to deliver to a nominated employee of Klondex
G&S on the Termination Date all property of Klondex G&S and Affiliates
and Related Entities, and other property for which Klondex G&S is liable to
others, in the Employee's possession, charge or control (and any copies thereof)
wherever situated including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
any Confidential Information and all notes, memoranda and other documents
concerning any of the business, personnel or affairs of Klondex G&S,
Affiliates and Related Entities, whether in written or electronic form, all
books, effects, money, securities, keys, pass cards, credit cards, laptops or
vehicles. 

	5.7 	
      Stock Options

provision of this Agreement shall extend the term of any stock option past the

      Arbitration



The parties agree that any dispute relating to the terms of
this Agreement or the Employee's employment with Klondex G&S will be

will be conducted by a sole neutral arbitrator who has had both training and
experience as an arbitrator of general employment and commercial matters and who
is and for at least ten (10) years has been, a partner, a shareholder, or a
member in a law firm. If Klondex G&S and Employee cannot agree on an
arbitrator, then the arbitrator will be selected by JAMS in accordance with Rule

served as a mediator under the mediation provision, however, may be selected as
the arbitrator for the same claim or dispute. Reasonable discovery will be
permitted and the arbitrator may decide any issue as to discovery. The
arbitrator may decide any issue as to whether or as to the extent to which any
dispute is subject to the dispute resolution provisions in this Agreement and
the arbitrator may award any relief permitted by law. The arbitrator must base
the arbitration award on the provisions of this Section 6.3 and applicable law
and must render the award in writing, including an explanation of the reasons
for the award. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having
jurisdiction of the matter, and the decision of the arbitrator will be final and
binding. The statute of limitations applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit
will apply to the commencement of an arbitration under this Section. The
arbitrator's fees will be paid in equal portions by Klondex G&S and
Employee, unless Klondex G&S agrees to pay all such fees. 

	6.4 	
      Severability



Each provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable;
if any term or provision hereof shall be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, void or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such
provision shall be severed from this Agreement and the remaining terms and
provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 

	6.5 	
      Survivability



The provisions of Section 4, Section 5 and Section 6.3 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement. 

	6.6 	
      Pre-Contractual
Representations



The Employee hereby waives any right to assert any claim based
on any pre-contractual representations, negligent or otherwise, made by Klondex
G&S, Klondex Mines or any Affiliates. 

	6.7 	
      Assignability



This Agreement may not be assigned by the Employee. Without in
any way limiting the rights of Klondex G&S to assign this Agreement, it is
expressly understood and agreed that Klondex G&S shall have the right to
assign this Agreement to any other entity to which the business of Klondex
G&S is transferred, in whole or in part, which thereafter carries on the
business of Klondex G&S. 




- 15 - 

	6.8 	
      Successors



This Agreement and all rights of the Employee hereunder will be

and its successors and assigns and the Employee and his heirs, representatives
and administrators. 

	6.9 	
      Waiver of Breach



The waiver by either the Employee or Klondex G&S of a
breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach by that party. 

	6.10 	
      Modification of Agreement



Any modification to this Agreement must be in writing and
signed by the parties or it shall have no effect and shall be void. 

	6.11

supersedes and replaces all prior letters of intent, agreements,
representations, warranties, statements, promises, information, arrangements and
understandings, whether oral or written, express or implied, between all or any
of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, including
without limitation, the employment agreement between Employee, Klondex G&S
and Klondex Mines effective as of October 15, 2012. The recitals and any
schedules form a part of and are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.


	6.12 	
      Further Acts



The Employee agrees that on the request of Klondex G&S, he
will execute, acknowledge, perform and deliver all such further acts, deeds,
assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney and assurances as may be
required for the better carrying out and performance of the terms of this
Agreement. 

	6.13 	
      Counterparts



This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.

	6.14 	
      Independent Legal Advice



The Employee acknowledges that this Agreement has been prepared
by Klondex G&S and that he has had sufficient time to review this Agreement
thoroughly, that he has read and understood the terms of this Agreement and that
he has been given the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice concerning
the interpretation and effect of this Agreement prior to its execution. 




- 16 - 

	6.15 	
      Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
      Code



Payments and benefits provided under this Agreement as a result
of Employee's termination of employment are intended to fall within the
exception in U.S. Treasury Regulation 1.409A -1(b)(4) for short term deferrals
or other applicable exceptions and will be interpreted and administered
accordingly. However, to the extent that any payment under this Agreement is
subject to Section 409A of the Code, it is intended to comply with Section 409A
and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed accordingly and in a
manner that avoids the imposition of taxes and other penalties under Section
409A (such taxes and other penalties referred to collectively as "409A
Penalties"). In the event that Klondex G&S determines that the terms of this
Agreement would subject the Employee to 409A Penalties, Klondex G&S and the
Employee shall cooperate diligently to amend the terms of this Agreement to
avoid such 409A Penalties, to the extent possible; provided,
however, that this Section 6.15 shall not create any
obligation on the part of Klondex G&S to adopt any such amendment or take
any such other action. All references in this Agreement to the Employee's
termination of employment shall mean a "separation from service" within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent required to comply with
Section 409A of the Code. Any payment that is "deferred compensation" within the
meaning of and subject to Section 409A of the Code that becomes payable as a
result of the Employee's separation from service and that is conditioned upon
the Employee's execution of a Release will be paid within 90 days following the
Employee's separation from service and if such period begins in one taxable year
and carries over into a second taxable year, payment shall be made in the second
taxable year, and in no event shall the Employee have the ability to influence
the year in which payment will occur. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Agreement, if on the date of the Employee's "separation from service" the
Employee is a "specified employee," as defined in Section 409A of the Code, then
to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement upon the Employee's
separation from service would be a prohibited distribution under Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to
occur of (x) the first day of the seventh month following the Employee's
separation from service or (y) the date of the Employee's death. 

	6.16 	
      Taxes; Parachute
Payment




	 	(a) 	
      Withholding. All payments under this Agreement shall be
      subject to withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax or other
      payroll deductions as Klondex G&S may reasonably determine should be
      withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Parachute Payment. Anything in this Agreement to the
      contrary notwithstanding, in the event that it shall be determined that
      any payment, distribution, or other action by Klondex G&S to or for
      the Employee's benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or
      distributable pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or otherwise (a
      "Parachute Payment"), would result in an "excess parachute payment" within
      the meaning of Section 280G(b)(i) of the Code, and the value determined in
      accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code of the Parachute Payments,
      net of all taxes imposed on the Employee (the "Net After-Tax Amount") that
      the Employee would receive would be increased if the Parachute Payments
      were reduced, then the Parachute Payments shall be reduced by an amount
      (the "Reduction Amount") so that the Net After-Tax Amount after such
reduction is greatest. For purposes of determining the Net After-Tax Amount, the
Employee shall be deemed to (i) pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal
rates of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Parachute
Payment is to be made, and (ii) pay applicable state and local income taxes at
the highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the
Parachute Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income
taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.16, all determinations required to
be made under this Section 6.16, including the Net After-Tax Amount, the
Reduction Amount and the Parachute Payments that are to be reduced pursuant to
this Section 6.16 and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such
determinations, shall be made by independent public accounting firm selected by
Employee (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide detailed supporting
calculations both to Klondex G&S and the Employee within fifteen (15)
business days of the receipt of notice from the Employee that there has been a
Parachute Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Employee. The
Accounting Firm's decision as to which Parachute Payments are to be reduced
shall be made (a) only from Parachute Payments that the Accounting Firm
determines reasonably may be characterized as "parachute payments" under Section
280G of the Code; (b) only from Parachute Payments that are required to be made
in cash; (c) only with respect to any amounts that are not payable pursuant to a
"nonqualified deferred compensation plan" subject to Section 409A of the Code,
until those payments have been reduced to zero; and (d) in reverse chronological
order, to the extent that any Parachute Payments subject to reduction are made
over time (e.g., in installments). In no event, however, shall any Parachute
Payments be reduced if and to the extent such reduction would cause a violation
of Section 409A of the Code or other applicable law. All fees and expenses of
the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by Klondex G&S. Any determination
by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Klondex G&S and the Employee.

ATTACHMENT A 

RELEASE OF CLAIMS 

This Agreement and General Release of all Claims (this
"Release") is entered into by _________________ (the "Employee")
and Klondex Gold & Silver Mining Co. (the "Company"), effective as of
___________________. In consideration of the promises set forth in the
Employment Agreement between the Employee and the Company, effective March 1,
2015 (the "Employment Agreement"), the Employee and the Company agree as

have the meaning ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement.

The form of this Release is being provided to the Employee on

[a minimum of 21 days must be given] to consider whether to sign this
Release (the "Consideration Period") and return it to the Company. If this
Release is not executed and delivered to the Company by __________________,
20__, or if so delivered by the Employee but it is nevertheless revoked by the
Employee within the applicable Revocation Period, then the Employee will forfeit
all rights to any Separation Payment and other benefits to which the Employee
may otherwise have been entitled pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 5.5 of the
Employment Agreement. The Employee may choose to sign and deliver this
Release to the Company before the end of the Consideration Period. The Employee
will have ____ days [must be at least 7 days and could be longer depending on

1.     Return of Property. All
files, access keys, desk keys, ID badges, computers, electronic devices,

possession must be returned no later than the date of the Employee's termination
from the Company. 




- 2 - 

2.     General Release and Waiver of Claims. 

(a)    
Release. In consideration of the payments and benefits provided to the
Employee under the Employment Agreement and after consultation with counsel, the
Employee, his marital community, and each of the Employee's respective heirs,
executors, administrators, representatives, agents, successors and assigns
(collectively, the "Releasors") hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
release and forever discharge the Company, Affiliates and Related Parties and
each of their respective officers, employees, directors, shareholders and agents
("Releasees") from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, rights,
judgments, obligations, damages, demands, accountings or liabilities of whatever
kind or character (collectively, "Claims"), including, without
limitation, any Claims under any federal, state, local, provincial or foreign
law, that the Releasors may have, or in the future may possess, arising out of
(i) the Employee's employment relationship with and service as an employee,
officer or director of the Company, Affiliates of Related Parties, and the
termination of such relationship or service, and (ii) any event, condition,
circumstance or obligation that occurred, existed or arose on or prior to the
date hereof; provided, however, that the Employee does not
release, discharge or waive (i) the Employee's rights to payments and benefits
provided under the Employment Agreement that are contingent upon the execution
by the Employee of this Release, or rights to enforce the performance by the
Company of its obligations under the Employment Agreement, (ii) any employee
benefits payable pursuant to the terms of the applicable plans of the Company or
any of its affiliates, which benefits shall be paid or provided in accordance
with the terms of such plans, or (iii) any right of indemnification or
contribution that the Employee may have under the organizational documents of
the Company or from any other source, including, any directors' or officers'
insurance policy maintained by the Company. 

(b)   
 Specific Release of ADEA Claims. In further consideration of the
payments and benefits provided to the Employee under the Employment Agreement,
the Releasors hereby unconditionally release and forever discharge the Releasees
from any and all Claims that the Releasors may have as of the date the Employee
signs this Release arising under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment
Act of 1967, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder ("ADEA"). By signing this Release, the Employee hereby
acknowledges and confirms the following: (i) the Employee was advised by the
Company in connection with his termination to consult with an attorney of his
choice prior to signing this Release and to have such attorney explain to the
Employee the terms of this Release, including, without limitation, the terms
relating to the Employee's release of claims arising under; (ii) the Employee
was given a period of not fewer than [21]/[45] days to consider the terms of
this Release and to consult with an attorney of his choosing with respect
thereto; (iii) the Employee knowingly and voluntarily accepts the terms of this
Release; [and (iv) in accordance with the requirements of ADEA regarding an
"employment termination program", the Employee was provided with the information
appended hereto as Schedule 1]. The Employee also understands that he has seven
(7) days following the date on which he signs this Release within which to
revoke the release contained in this paragraph, by providing the Company a
written notice of his revocation of the release and waiver contained in this
paragraph. 




- 3 - 

(c)     No
Assignment. The Employee represents and warrants that he has not assigned
any of the Claims being released under this Release. 

3.     Proceedings. The Employee has not filed, and
agrees not to initiate or cause to be initiated on his behalf, any complaint,
charge, claim or proceeding against the Releasees before any local, state or
federal agency, court or other body relating to his employment or the
termination of his employment, other than with respect to the obligations of the
Company to the Employee under the Employment Agreement (each, individually, a
"Proceeding"), and agrees not to participate voluntarily in any
Proceeding. The Employee waives any right he may have to benefit in any manner
from any relief (whether monetary or otherwise) arising out of any Proceeding.


4.     Remedies. In the event the Employee initiates
or voluntarily participates in any Proceeding, or if he fails to abide by any of
the terms of this Release or his post-termination obligations contained in the
Employment Agreement, the Company may, in addition to any other remedies it may
have, reclaim any amounts paid to him under the termination provisions of the
Employment Agreement or terminate any benefits or payments that are subsequently
due under the Employment Agreement, without waiving the release granted herein.
The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law available to the
Company for breach of any of his post-termination obligations under the
Employment Agreement or his obligations under Paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Release
would be inadequate and that damages flowing from such a breach may not readily
be susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, the Employee
acknowledges, consents and agrees that, in addition to any other rights or
remedies that the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company shall be
entitled to seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent
injunction, or both, without bond or other security, restraining the Employee
from breaching his post-termination obligations under the Employment Agreement
or his obligations under Paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Release. Such injunctive
relief in any court shall be available to the Company, in lieu of, or prior to
or pending determination in, any arbitration proceeding. 

The Employee understands that by entering into this Release he
will be limiting the availability of certain remedies that he may have against
the Company and limiting also his ability to pursue certain claims against the
Company. 

5.     Survival of Certain Terms of
Employment Agreement. The Employee acknowledges and affirms that the
Employee has previously executed the Employment Agreement (Attached hereto as
Attachment A), and that the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement
that survive the employment relationship, including but not limited to the
Employee's continuing confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation
obligations, survive and are not affected by this Release.

6.     Severability Clause. In the event
any provision or part of this Release is found to be invalid or unenforceable,
only that particular provision or part so found, and not the entire Release,
will be inoperative.
