 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual promises, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree: 
 1. Employment. Subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Employer hereby offers and the Executive hereby accepts employment. 
 2.
Term. Subject to Section 5, this Agreement shall have an original term of five years commencing on September 2, 2007 (the “Start Date”) and shall be automatically renewed thereafter for successive terms of one year
each, unless either party provides notice to the other at least three months prior to the expiration of the original or any successive term that the Agreement is not to be renewed. In the event that notice is given to the effect that this Agreement
is not renewed, this Agreement and Executive’s employment shall automatically terminate upon the expiry of such term. The term of this Agreement, as from time to time extended or renewed, is hereafter referred to as the “Term”.








 3. Capacity and Performance. 
 (a) During the Term, the Executive shall serve the Employer as its Chief Operating Officer with such customary responsibilities, duties
and authority as may from time to time be assigned to him by the Chief Executive Officer of the Employer (the “Chief Executive Officer”) and the Board of Directors of the Employer (the “Board”). In addition and
without further compensation, the Executive shall serve as a director and/or officer of one or more of the Employer’s operating subsidiaries if so elected or appointed from time to time, provided that the Employer shall provide to the Executive
at all times, and pay all of the costs of, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage with respect to such service as required by Section 4 hereof. 
 (b) During the Term, the Executive shall be employed by the Employer on a full-time basis and shall be responsible for store operations,
supply and logistics and human resources as well as perform such duties and responsibilities on behalf of the Employer and its Affiliates as may be designated from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board. The duties to be performed
by the Executive hereunder shall be performed primarily at the principal office of the Employer in the City of Montreal, Quebec, subject to reasonable travel requirements. 
 (c) During the Term, the Executive shall devote his full business time and his best efforts, business judgment, skill and knowledge
exclusively to the advancement of the Business and interests of the Employer and its Affiliates and to the discharge of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Executive shall not engage in any other business activity or serve in any
industry, trade, professional, governmental or academic position during the Term, except as may be approved by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3(c) shall not, however, preclude the Executive
from devoting a reasonable amount of time to engaging in civic, charitable or religious activities, devoting a reasonable amount of time to private investment activities, and/or serving as a director, officer or trustee of family-owned companies,
trusts or foundations, as well as acting as a director of a maximum of three (3) Boards of Directors, as identified in Appendix A and amended, as the case may be, by the Executive in accordance with this Agreement, provided in each case that
such involvement is in compliance with the provisions of Section 8(a) hereof and does not otherwise conflict with the Executive’s responsibilities to the Employer. 
 4. Compensation and Benefits. In addition to the Option Agreement and the Subscription Agreement mentioned in the Recitals, as compensation for
all services performed by the Executive under and during the Term and subject to performance of the Executive’s duties and of the obligations of the Executive to the Employer and its Affiliates, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise:

 (a) Base Salary. During the Term, the Employer shall pay the Executive a base salary at the rate of $310,000 per
annum, less all applicable withholdings, payable in accordance with the payroll practices of the Employer for its executives (the “Base Salary”) and the Executive shall be entitled to an annual merit increase to the extent that
other members of senior management are entitled to such annual merit increase, it being understood that the annual increase may vary from an executive to another. 
  

 -2- 








 (b) Annual Bonus. During the Term, with respect to each of the Employer’s
fiscal years that begins on or after February 1, 2007, the Executive will be eligible to receive a bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) with a target of 75% of his Base Salary (“Target Annual Bonus”), except that, such
Annual Bonus shall be pro rated for the fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2007 based on the number of days between the Start Date of this Agreement and the end of such fiscal year as compared to the total number of days in such fiscal year.
The Annual Bonus will be based on the achievement of targets which shall be determined by the Board. 
 Notwithstanding the above, the
Executive’s Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2007 and his Target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2008, shall not be less than that of any other officer of the Employer, with
the exception of the CEO. 
 For greater certainty, no notice, pay in lieu of notice, statutory notice, severance pay or any other payment
whatsoever that is given or that ought to have been given under this Agreement or any applicable law in respect of the Executive’s termination of employment will be utilized in determining entitlement to payment of the Annual Bonus. 

(c) Other Benefits. During the Term and subject to any contribution therefor generally required of executives of the Employer,
the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any and all employee benefit plans from time to time in effect for executives of the Employer generally consistent with company practices and as outlined in the Benefits Booklet attached hereto as
Appendix B. Such participation shall be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Employer policies. The Employer may alter, modify, add to or delete its employee benefit plans at any time as it, in its sole
judgment, determines to be appropriate and the whole subject to applicable law. The Executive shall be entitled to four weeks’ paid vacation and reasonable holidays and illness days in accordance with the Employer’s policies as may be
established and modified from time to time. 
 (d) Short-term Disability. Subject to Section 5(b), in the event
the Executive becomes disabled during the Term through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature, and, as a result, is unable to perform all his duties and responsibilities hereunder, the Employer will
pay to the Executive the equivalent of the Executive’s Base Salary for the lesser of: 
 (i) a period of one hundred and
eighty consecutive days; or 
 (ii) until terminated in accordance with Section 5(b)(i) of this Agreement, provided that
in the event where the Employer or its Affiliates then have in effect a Long Term Disability Plan, the Executive shall be paid his Base Salary until he is eligible to be paid long term disability benefits under the Company’s plan. 

 

 -3- 








 (e) Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. The Employer shall provide to
the Executive the benefit of at all times during the Term, and pay all of the costs of, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or policies obtained by the Employer, which shall cover the Executive for his service
hereunder, whether as director, and/or officer of the Employer or as director and/or officer of any of the Employer’s Affiliates. 
 (f) Business Expenses. The Employer shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable, customary and necessary business expenses incurred or paid by the Executive in the performance of his duties and
responsibilities hereunder in accordance with the Employer’s expense reimbursement policy. 
 5. Termination of Employment and
Severance Benefits. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 hereof, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate under the following circumstances: 
 (a) Death. In the event of the Executive’s death during the Term, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall immediately
and automatically terminate. In such event, the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s designated beneficiary or, if no beneficiary has been designated by the Executive, to his estate, (i) the Base Salary earned but not paid through the
date of termination, and (ii) any business expenses incurred by the Executive but not reimbursed on the date of termination, and (iii) any bonus compensation (other than Annual Bonus with respect to the fiscal year in which the date of
termination occurs) awarded but unpaid on the date of termination (collectively, “Final Compensation”); and (iv) the portion of the Annual Bonus earned for the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, prorated for
the time of the Executive’s employment during the relevant fiscal year (the “Prorated Bonus”), it being understood that the Prorated Bonus will be paid following the end of the relevant fiscal year or such other time as per the
Employer’s normal practice. 
 (b) Disability 
 (i) The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder, upon written notice to the Executive, in the event that the
Executive becomes disabled during his employment hereunder through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature and, as a result, is unable to perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder, with or without reasonable accommodation, for ninety (90) days during any period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive calendar days. In the event of such termination, (a) if the Employer or its Affiliates then have in
effect a Long Term Disability Plan, the Employer shall have no further obligation to the Executive, other than for payment of Final Compensation and any Prorated Bonus and (b) if neither the Employer nor its Affiliates have in effect a Long
Term Disability Plan, the Employer shall have no further obligation to the Executive, other than for payment of amounts described in Section 5(d). 
 (ii) The Board may designate another employee to act in the Executive’s place during any period of the Executive’s disability. While receiving disability income payments under Employer’s disability
income plan, the Executive shall continue to participate in Employer benefit plans, if any, in accordance with the terms of such plans, until the termination of his employment.

 (c) By the Employer for Cause. The Employer may terminate the Executive’s
employment hereunder immediately for Cause at any time upon written notice to the Executive setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Cause. 
 Upon the giving of notice of termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause, the Employer shall have no further obligation to the Executive, other than for Final Compensation and any requirement of
applicable law. 
 (d) By the Employer Other than for Cause. The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment
at any time, other than for Cause, Death and Disability by (a) paying to the Executive Final Compensation and any Prorated Bonus; and (b) provided the Executive continues to fulfill the remainder of his contractual obligations towards the
Employer, by providing the Executive with severance pay in lieu of notice representing the Executive’s Base Salary for twenty-four months, payable by way of salary continuance in accordance with the Employer’s payroll practices at the
date of termination or in a lump sum payment, at the sole discretion of the Employer. 
 Any obligation of the Employer to the Executive
hereunder is conditional, however, upon the Executive signing a release, reasonably acceptable to the Employer, of any and all claims related to the employment of the Executive or the termination thereof. 
 (e) By the Executive for Constructive Termination. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder immediately for
Constructive Termination at any time upon written notice to the Employer setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the Constructive Termination. In the event of such termination, the Employer shall (i) pay the Executive’s Final
Compensation and any Prorated Bonus, and (ii) conditional upon the Executive continuing to fulfill his contractual obligations toward the Employer, by way of salary continuance, in accordance with the Employer’s payroll practices at the
time of Constructive Termination, the Executive’s Base Salary for twenty-four months following termination or an amount representing twenty-four months of the Executive’s Base Salary, in a lump sum payment, at the sole discretion of the
Employer. 
 Any obligation of the Employer to the Executive hereunder is conditional, however, upon the Executive signing a release,
reasonably acceptable to the Employer, of any and all claims related to the employment of the Executive or the termination thereof. 
 (f) By the Executive other than for Constructive Termination. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time upon sixty days written notice to the Employer. In the event of termination of the Executive pursuant to

 -5- 








 (a) Payments or provision of benefits by the Employer pursuant to Section 5 shall
constitute the entire obligation of the Employer to the Executive. 
 (b) Provisions of this Agreement shall survive any
termination if so provided herein or if necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of other surviving provisions, including without limitation the obligations of the Executive under Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof. The obligation of the
Employer to make payments to the Executive under Section 5(d) or 5(e) hereof is expressly conditioned upon the Executive’s continued full performance of obligations under Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof. The Executive recognizes that,
except as expressly provided in Section 5(d) or 5(e), no compensation is earned after termination of employment. 
 7. Confidential
Information. 
 (a) The Executive acknowledges that the Employer, its Affiliates and their predecessors developed
Confidential Information and that the Employer and its Affiliates continually develop Confidential Information, that the Executive may develop Confidential Information for the Employer and its Affiliates, that the Executive may learn of Confidential
Information during the course of employment. The Executive will comply with the policies and procedures of the Employer and its Affiliates for protecting Confidential Information and shall not disclose to any Person or use, other than as required by
applicable law or for the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Employer and its Affiliates, any Confidential Information obtained by the Executive incident to his employment or other association with the Employer and its
Affiliates, whether prior to, at the time of, or subsequent to any assignment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 16. The Executive understands that this restriction shall continue to apply after his employment terminates, regardless of the
reason for such termination. 
 (b) All documents, records, tapes and other media of every kind and description relating to
the Business, present or otherwise, of the Employer or its Affiliates and any copies, in whole or in part, thereof (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by the Executive, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Employer
and its Affiliates. The Executive shall safeguard all Documents and shall surrender to the Employer at the time his employment terminates, or at such earlier time or times as the Board or its designee may specify, all Documents then in the
Executive’s possession or control. 
 8. Restricted Activities. The Executive agrees that some restrictions on his activities
during and after his employment are necessary to protect the goodwill, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Employer and its Affiliates: 
 (a) Non-Competition. While the Executive is employed by the Employer and for a period of twenty-four months after his employment
terminates for any reason, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any business competitive with the Business within the Territory. However, no ownership of less than five percent of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded
corporation will be deemed to be in violation of this Section 8(a) solely by reason thereof. 
  

 -6- 








 (b) Loyalty. The Executive agrees that, during his employment with the Employer,
he will not undertake any outside activity, whether or not competitive with the Business, the Employer or its Affiliates, that could reasonably give rise to a conflict of interest or otherwise interfere with his duties and obligations to the
Employer or any of its Affiliates. 
 (c) Non-Solicitation of Employees. The Executive further agrees that while he is
employed by the Employer and during a twenty-four month period after his employment terminates for any reason, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, recruit, offer employment, employ, engage as a consultant, lure or entice away, or in any
other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any Person who is an employee of Aris Import Inc. (hereinafter “Aris”), any Person employed by the Employer or its Affiliate as a store manager or in any other position of equal or
greater responsibility, or any Person working in the corporate office of the Employer or its Affiliate, to leave the employ of the Employer, its Affiliate or Aris, as the case may be. 
 (d) Non-Solicitation of Suppliers. The Executive agrees that while he is employed by the Employer and during a twenty-four month
period after his employment terminates for any reason, the Executive shall not lure, entice away, or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any Supplier to cease or materially reduce its business with the Employer or any of its
Affiliates. 
 9. Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property. 
 (a) The Executive shall promptly and fully disclose all Intellectual Property to the Employer. The Executive hereby assigns and agrees to
assign to the Employer (or as otherwise directed by the Employer) the Executive’s full right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property. The Executive agrees to execute any and all applications for domestic and foreign patents,
copyrights or other proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of instruments of further assurance or confirmation) requested by the Employer to assign the Intellectual Property to the
Employer and to permit the Employer to enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights to the Intellectual Property. The Executive will not charge the Employer for time spent in complying with these obligations. All copyrightable works
that the Executive creates shall be considered work made in the course of employment. 
 (b) If the Executive incorporates
into any of the Intellectual Property any Intellectual Property made by the Executive prior to the Executive’s employment with the Employer, which belongs to the Executive and which is not assigned to the Employer hereunder, the Executive
hereby grants the Employer a perpetual, exclusive, world-wide license to make, use, sell, improve, execute, reproduce, display, distribute, lease, manipulate in any manner, create derivative works based upon, sublicense, or otherwise commercially
exploit or utilize the Prior Invention(s) included in the Intellectual Property, including all Improvements thereto, and all Intellectual Property therein, in any manner that the Employer sees fit in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 (c) To the extent that the Executive cannot assign and transfer any of the Executive’s full right, title, and interest in the
Intellectual Property, then the Executive 

  

 -7- 








 
hereby grants the Employer a perpetual, exclusive, world-wide license to make, use, sell, improve, execute, reproduce, display, distribute, lease, manipulate
in any manner, create derivative works based upon, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit or utilize such Intellectual Property, including all Improvements thereto, and all Intellectual Property therein, in any manner that the Employer sees
fit in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 (d) The Executive further agrees that the Executive will assign, deliver and
communicate to the Employer any know-how, facts and materials arising from or relating to said Intellectual Property including without limitation: (i) all simulations, prototypes, and other embodiments of the Intellectual Property;
(ii) all drawings, blueprints, calculations, research plans and results, lab notes, workbooks and other records and written materials that relate to the Intellectual Property or that embody or record any know-how pertaining to the Intellectual
Property; (iii) all files, documents and communications pertaining to the Intellectual Property; and (iv) evidence for patent interference purposes or for other legal proceedings whenever requested. 
 (e) The Executive further agrees to waive any and all moral rights it may have in respect of any work which is the subject of copyright.

 (f) The Executive shall not directly or indirectly contest the Employer’s ownership in or validity of the Intellectual
Property, or the validity of any applications or registrations therefor, either during the term of this Agreement or, at any time thereafter, nor shall the Executive voluntarily assist in any action taken by any third party, an object of which
action is to contest said ownership or validity. 
 10. Enforcement of Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that he has
carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof. The Executive agrees that said restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper
protection of the Employer and its Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. The Executive further acknowledges that, were he to breach any of the
covenants contained in Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof, the damage to the Employer would be irreparable. The Executive therefore agrees that the Employer, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any of said covenants, without having to post bond.
