of the Company and its Affiliates. 


  

	(d)	 You agree and acknowledge that this covenant is given for good and valuable consideration (receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged) and that by reason of your unique knowledge of and association with the business of the Company and its Affiliates, the scope of this covenant as to both time and area is reasonable and commensurate with the protection of the
legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates. Section 6 of this Agreement applies regardless of the reason for your cessation of employment from the Company, and is severable from the other provisions of this Agreement.



  

	(e)	 The parties agree that if a court of competent jurisdiction will limit, restrict or otherwise change the time
period or the types of business referred to in this Section, then the limited, restricted or changed time period or types of business determined by such a court will, for the purposes of this Section 6, be deemed to be the original time period
and/or types of business referred to in such Sections as if they were the original time period and business set out herein. 


 7.
Resignation: You can resign from employment with the Company by providing to the Company two (2) weeks’ prior written notice of your resignation. The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to not require that you
attend work for any portion of this two (2) week notice period in which case your Base Salary would continue for the balance of the notice period and your benefits would, at the option of the Company, cease effective on your last day of work.

semi-monthly instalments on the same schedule as the regular Company payroll. The provision of Base Salary as a lump sum payment, payment of Base Salary continuance, or combination of the two will be in satisfaction of all rights and claims, either
under statue or common law, that you may have arising from your employment and the termination of employment. 

  

	(c)	 Your employment with the Company is “at will” according to the laws of the State of Colorado. As an at-will employee, you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time with or without Cause and with or without notice except where applicable United States federal, Colorado state or local law provides
otherwise. The Company also has sole discretion to modify the terms and conditions of your employment. No representative of the Company, other than the CEO has the authority to change the “at-will”
status of any employee, and in order to be effective, the change must be in writing. 


  

	(d)	 For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: 



 

	 	i.	 your willful failure to perform your duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to
physical or mental illness); 


  

	 	ii.	 your willful failure to comply with any valid and legal directive of the Company’s CEO or the board of

	 	v.	 your conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime that constitutes a felony, if such crime is
work-related, materially impairs your ability to perform services for the Company, or results in material harm to the Company or its Affiliates; 


  

	 	vi.	 your material violation of the Company’s or D-Wave
Corporate’s written policies or codes of conduct, including written policies related to discrimination, harassment, performance of illegal or unethical activities, and ethical misconduct; 



 

	 	vii.	 your willful unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information (as defined in Section 4(b), above);



  

	 	viii.	 your material breach of any material obligation under this Agreement or any other written agreement between you
and the Company; or 


  

	 	ix.	 your engagement in conduct that brings or is reasonably likely to bring the Company, D-Wave Corporate or its Affiliates negative publicity or into public disgrace, embarrassment, or disrepute. 



For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act on your part shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by you
in bad faith or without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. 
 9. Irreparable Harm: You
acknowledge and agree that a breach of any of the covenants of this Agreement by you may not be adequately compensated for by monetary award, and may cause irreparable harm to the Company and its Affiliates. Accordingly, you agree that in addition
to all of the remedies available to the Company and its Affiliates at law or in equity, including the right to seek recovery of damages, the Company and its Affiliates will be entitled as a matter of right to apply for equitable relief (including
without limitation, injunctive relief) in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any threatened or actual breach, to ensure your compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.
