that, save with the written consent of the Company, it will not, either during the Term of this Agreement, or at any time thereafter,
directly or indirectly, disclose, allow access to, transmit or transfer any of such Confidential Information to any person outside

it may suffer or incur as a result of, in respect of or arising out of, the performance of the Services, save and except that such
claims, demands, actions, lawsuits or proceedings arise out of the wilful misconduct of the Consultant or the Principal.



 


		10.	Termination by Consultant. The Consultant may terminate this Agreement at any time upon
the provision of sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Company. If the Consultant provides such notice, the Company shall,
in its sole discretion, have the right to immediately terminate the Agreement and the Consultant will be entitled to no further
compensation under this Agreement except for any Monthly Fees (as defined in Schedule “A” attached) earned to the date
of the termination of this Agreement.



 


		11.	Termination by Company. The Company may terminate this Agreement:



 


		(a)	At any time on thirty (30) days written notice to the Consultant. If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to this sub-section, the Company shall pay the Consultant the Termination Fee set out in Schedule “A”;

Principal become physically or mentally disabled or impaired from performing the Principal’s duties. “Disabled”
for purposes of this Agreement will mean physical or mental incapacity that, in the reasonable good faith determination of Company,
renders the Principal incapable of providing the Services for 90 consecutive days or an aggregate of 90 days within any 12 month
period during the Term. For purposes of clarity, the Consultant will not be entitled to the payment of any further Monthly Fees
or the Termination Fee in such circumstances.



 


		13.	Assignment by Consultant. The Consultant shall not assign or subcontract any of its rights
under this Agreement, nor shall the Principal delegate the performance of any of the Principal’s duties hereunder, without
the prior written consent of the Company. If such consent is given on any particular occasion, it shall still be required for all
subsequent assignments and subcontracts.



 


		14.	Choice of Law. The laws of the Province of Alberta shall govern the validity of this Agreement,
the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.



 


		15.	Non-Solicitation. The Consultant agrees that for a period of one (1) year following termination
this Agreement the Consultant will not solicit for hire, hire or take away or cause to be hired or taken away, any employee of
the Company who was in the employ of the Company during the twelve (12) months preceding the termination of this Agreement, unless
that employee has been out of the employ of the Company for at least three (3) months, or whose employment was terminated by the
Company. The parties agree that time period referred to in above is reasonable for the protection of the Company, but agree that
if a court of competent jurisdiction determines such time period to be unreasonable or unenforceable then the court may uphold
such lesser time period as the court in its discretion determines to be reasonable.



 


		16.	Arbitration. Any controversies arising out of the terms of this Agreement or its interpretation
shall be settled by arbitration in Alberta before a single arbitrator in accordance with the Alberta Arbitration Act, and
the award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment of the Court of Queen’s Bench of
Alberta. 



 


		17.	Waiver. Waiver by one party hereto of breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other
shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver.



 


		18.	Notices. Any and all notices, demands, or other communications required or desired to be
given hereunder by any party shall be in:



 


		(a)	writing and shall be validly given or made to another party if personally served, or if deposited
in the Canadian mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, but not required; or



 


		(b)	via electronic mail.



 




      


     

    

 


If such notice or demand is served
personally, notice shall be deemed constructively made at the time of such personal service. If such notice, demand or other communication
is given by mail, such notice shall be conclusively deemed given five days after deposit thereof in the Canadian mail addressed
to the party to whom such notice, demand or other communication is to be given as follows:
