 ARTICLE 6 — TERMINATION 

6.1 Death or Permanent Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death
during the Term. If the Corporation determines in good faith that a Permanent Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Term (pursuant to the definition of Permanent Disability set forth below), it may provide the Executive with written
notice in accordance with Article 8.3 of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Corporation shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to
full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permanent Disability” shall have such meaning as under the Corporation’s disability plan in which the Executive participates or, if the
Executive does not participate in any such plan, shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive’s duties with the Corporation on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical
illness, as determined by a physician selected by the Corporation or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative. 

6.2 Cause. The Corporation may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Term either with or without Cause. For purposes of
this Agreement “Cause” shall mean: 
  

	 	(i)	the failure of the Executive to perform the Executive’s duties with the Corporation or any affiliated entity (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), provided that
such conduct is not cured within a period of 30 days from the date the Executive is notified in writing by the Corporation; 

  

	 	(ii)	any illegal conduct or gross misconduct on the part of the Executive which may be injurious to the Corporation; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Executive’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or no contest to, a charge of an indictable offence in Canada or comparable offence elsewhere in the world; or 


 

	 	(iv)	the Executive’s material breach of any of the provisions of the Employee Confidentiality and Assignment Agreement; or 

  

	 	(v)	any act or omission on the part of the Executive which would in law permit an employer to, without notice or payment in lieu of notice, terminate the employment of an employee including but not limited to, a material
breach of this Agreement. 


  

					
		 	4	 	EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT









 The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until
there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire voting membership of the Board of Directors, other than Executive, if the Executive is a member of
the Board of Directors. 
 6.3 Good Reason. Subject to the limitations in the immediately following sentence, the Executive’s
employment may be terminated by the Executive during the Term with or without Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (in the absence of the written consent of the Executive) the occurrence of any of
the following events or circumstances: 
  

	 	(i)	the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent with the Executive’s (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities or any action by the Corporation
which results in a diminution in any of the foregoing, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the Corporation within 30 days of receipt of notice given by the
Executive; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Corporation’s transfer of the Executive’s primary office by more than 50 miles from the location set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement; or 


 

	 	(iii)	any material breach of this Agreement by the Corporation which is not cured within 30 days of receipt of notice given by the Executive. 


The Executive’s mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above in clauses (i) through
(iii) shall not affect the Executive’s ability to terminate his employment for Good Reason and the Executive’s death following delivery of a Notice of Termination of Good Reason shall not affect the Executive’s estate’s
entitlement to any severance payments or benefits under Article 7 of this Agreement. 
 6.4 Notice of Termination. Any termination by
the Corporation for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Article 8.3 of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of
Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, 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) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall
be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the Corporation to set forth in the Notice 

  

					
		 	5	 	EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT









 
of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Corporation, respectively, hereunder or preclude
the Executive or the Corporation, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Corporation’s rights hereunder. 

6.5 Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the
Corporation for Cause, or by the Executive with or without Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein within 30 days of such notice, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Corporation other than for Cause or Permanent Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Corporation notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the Executive’s employment
is terminated by reason of death or Permanent Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. 

ARTICLE 7 — OBLIGATIONS OF CORPORATION ON TERMINATION 

7.1 Good Reason; Without Cause. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Corporation without Cause or by the
Executive for Good Reason and subject to the receipt by the Corporation of an originally executed “waiver and release” (in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit “A”) within 5 days of the Date of Termination, the
Corporation shall provide to the Executive the following:

 7.4 Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If (i) the Executive’s employment shall be
terminated for Cause or (ii) the Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive other than the obligation to pay or provide to the Executive the Accrued
Obligations. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.
