of the Company or by any administrative body or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order the Executive
to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information; and (ii) nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere with the Executive’s

injury to the Company. In the event of a breach by the Executive of Article IV of this Agreement, then the Company shall be entitled
to injunctive relief restraining the Executive from the commission of any breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies
for a breach or threatened breach of this Article IV but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including
the recovery of damages from the Executive, the Executive’s agents, any future employer of the Executive, and any person that conspires
or aids and abets the Executive in a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

 

F.
Reasonableness. The Executive hereby represents to the Company that the Executive has read and understands, and agrees
to be bound by, the terms of this Article IV. The Executive acknowledges that the scope and duration of the covenants contained

business; (ii) the Executive’s level of control over and contact with the Company’s business; and (iii) the amount of compensation,

Company, which release shall, by its terms, be irrevocable no later than the thirty-first (31st) day following her employment

all Company policies protecting the Confidential Information; and (b) the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, utilize, disclose
or make available to any other person or entity, any of the Confidential Information, other than in the proper performance of the Executive’s
duties.

(iii)
Return of Property and Information. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive
shall immediately return and deliver to the Company any and all Confidential Information, software, devices, cell phones, personal data
assistants, credit cards, data, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, materials, equipment, computers, hard drives, papers, books,
records, documents, memoranda, manuals, e-mail, electronic or magnetic recordings or data, including all copies thereof, which belong
to the Company or relate to the Company’s business and which are in the Executive’s possession, custody or control, whether
prepared by the Executive or others. If at any time after termination of the Executive’s employment the Executive determines that
the Executive has any Confidential Information in the Executive’s possession or control, the Executive shall immediately return
to the Company all such Confidential Information in the Executive’s possession or control, including all copies and portions thereof.

 

B.
Restrictive Covenants. In consideration for (i) the Company’s promise to provide Confidential Information to the
Executive, (ii) the substantial economic investment made by the Company in the Confidential Information and goodwill of the Company,
and/or the business opportunities disclosed or entrusted to the Executive, (iii) access to the Company’s customers and clients,
and (iv) the Company’s employment of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement and the compensation and other benefits provided
by the Company to the Executive, to protect the Company’s Confidential Information and business goodwill of the Company, the Executive
agrees to the following restrictive covenants:

 

(i)
Non-Solicitation. The Executive shall not, neither during the term of the Employee’s employment nor for a period
of twelve (12) months following the date of termination of her employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, either directly
or indirectly, for the Employee’s own benefit or for the benefit of any other individual, corporation, partnership, firm, joint
venture, or organization, in any capacity whatsoever, other than in connection with the Executive’s duties under this Agreement:

 

(a)
       solicit or attempt to solicit any employee or service provider of the Company for the purpose
of having such employee or services provider terminate employment or engagement with the Company; or

 

(b)
       solicit or attempt to solicit, in competition with the Company, the business of any person
who is a customer, client, or prospective customer or client of the Company as of the date of termination or with whom the Executive
had dealings in the course of her employment with the Company during the final twelve (12) months of the Executive’s employment.

 

(ii)
Mutual Non-Disparagement. During the Executive’s employment with the Company and any time thereafter, the Executive
shall not make, publish, or otherwise transmit any false, disparaging, or defamatory statements, whether written or oral, regarding the
Company and any of its employees, executives, agents, investors, procedures, investments, products, policies, or services. The Board
and the Company’s named executive officers will not make or publish any statement, written or verbal, to any person or entity,
including in any forum or media, or take any action, in disparagement of the Executive, including negative references to or about the
Executive’s services, policies, practices, documents, methods of doing business, strategies, or objectives, or take any other action
that may disparage the Executive to the general public. However, nothing in this Article IV, Section B(ii) shall prohibit: (1)
the Executive, any member of the Board or any named executive officer of the Company from testifying truthfully in response to a subpoena
or participating in any governmental proceeding; (2) the Executive from engaging in any criticism or other statements made internally
within the Company on a need-to-know basis, and provided such criticism or other statement is not presented in a disruptive or insubordinate
manner, concerning Company’s performance or nonperformance; and (3) any named executive officer or member of the Board from engaging
in any criticism or other statements made internally within the Company on a need-to-know basis concerning the Executive’s performance
or nonperformance of the Executive’s duties or responsibilities for the Company.

C.
No Interference. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) the Executive may disclose Confidential Information
when required to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency having authority over the Executive or the business
of the Company or by any administrative body or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order the Executive
to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information; and (ii) nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere with the Executive’s
right to (a) report possible violations of provincial, state or federal law or regulation to any governmental or law enforcement agency
or entity; (b) make other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of provincial, state or federal law or regulation;
(c) file a claim or complaint with the Alberta Human Rights Commission, Employment Standards Branch, Workers’ Compensation Board,
Occupational Health and Safety, Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta, or any other governmental body, agency
or entity; or (d) testify, assist, or participate in an investigation, hearing, or proceeding conducted by any governmental or law enforcement
agency or entity, or any court. For purposes of clarity, in making or initiating any such reports or disclosures or engaging in any of
the conduct outlined in Article IV.C(ii) above, the Executive may disclose Confidential Information to the extent necessary to
such governmental or law enforcement agency or entity or such court, need not seek prior authorization from the Company, and is not required
to notify the Company of any such reports, disclosures or conduct.

 

D.
Defend Trade Secrets Act. The Executive is hereby notified in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 that
the Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade
secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney
solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or is made in a complaint or other document that is
filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation against the Company for reporting
a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose the Company’s trade secrets to the Executive’s attorney and use
the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Executive files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and
does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

 

E.
Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Article IV of this Agreement, in view of
the nature of the Company’s business and the Executive’s position with the Company, are reasonable and necessary to protect
the Company’s legitimate business interests and that any violation of Article IV of this Agreement would result in irreparable
injury to the Company. In the event of a breach by the Executive of Article IV of this Agreement, then the Company shall be entitled
to injunctive relief restraining the Executive from the commission of any breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies
for a breach or threatened breach of this Article IV but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including
the recovery of damages from the Executive, the Executive’s agents, any future employer of the Executive, and any person that conspires
or aids and abets the Executive in a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

 

F.
Reasonableness. The Executive hereby represents to the Company that the Executive has read and understands, and agrees
to be bound by, the terms of this Article IV. The Executive acknowledges that the scope and duration of the covenants contained
in this Article IV are fair and reasonable in light of (i) the nature and wide geographic scope of the operations of the Company’s
business; (ii) the Executive’s level of control over and contact with the Company’s business; and (iii) the amount of compensation,
trade secrets and Confidential Information that the Executive is receiving in connection with the Executive’s employment by the
Company.

 

    	9

     

    

 

G.
Reformation. If any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or
overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the Parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be
modified by the court making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced. By
agreeing to this contractual modification prospectively at this time, the Company and the Executive intend to make this provision enforceable
under the law or laws of all applicable jurisdictions so that the entire agreement not to compete and this Agreement as prospectively
modified shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be rendered void or illegal.

 

H.
No Previous Restrictive Agreements. The Executive represents that, except as disclosed to the Company, the Executive is
not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret
or confidential or proprietary information in the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company or to refrain from competing,
directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party. The Executive further represents that the Executive’s
performance of all the terms of this Agreement and the Executive’s work duties for the Company do not and will not breach any agreement
to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by the Executive in confidence or in trust prior to the Executive’s
employment with the Company. The Executive shall not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary
information or material belonging to any previous employer or others.

I.
Code Section 409A.

 

(i)
To the extent (a) any payments to which the Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, or any agreement or plan referenced herein,
in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company constitute deferred compensation subject to Section
409A of the Code; (b) the Executive is deemed at the time of her separation from service to be a “specified employee” under
Section 409A of the Code; and (c) at the time of the Executive’s separation from service the Company is publicly traded (as defined
in Section 409A of Code), then such payments (other than any payments permitted by Section 409A of the Code to be paid within six (6)
months of the Executive’s separation from service) shall not be made until the earlier of (x) the first day of the seventh month
following the Executive’s separation from service or (y) the date of the Executive’s death following such separation from
service. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period described in the immediately preceding sentence, any payments which would
have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this Article V, Section
I shall be paid to the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiary in one lump sum, plus interest thereon at the Delayed Payment
Interest Rate computed from the date on which each such delayed payment otherwise would have been made to the Executive until the date
of payment. For purposes of the foregoing, the “Delayed Payment Interest Rate” shall mean the national average
annual rate of interest payable on jumbo six (6) month bank certificates of deposit, as quoted in the business section of the most recently
published Sunday edition of The New York Times preceding the Executive’s separation from service.

 

(ii)
To the extent any benefits provided under Article II, Sections E, G or Article III, Section B(ii) above are otherwise taxable
to the Executive, such benefits shall, for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, be provided as separate in-kind payments of those benefits,
and the provision of in-kind benefits during one calendar year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided in any other calendar
year.

 

(iii)
In the case of any amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement, or under any plan of the Company, that may be treated as payable
in the form of “a series of installment payments,” as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii), the Executive’s
right to receive such payments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments for purposes of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).

 

(iv)
It is intended that this Agreement comply with or be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
and guidance of general applicability issued thereunder, and in furtherance of this intent, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated,
and administered in a manner consistent with such intent.
