which they are granted, precedence shall be in that order. 
  

	5.	VACATION 

 The Employee shall be entitled to accrue 5 (five) weeks’ vacation annually in accordance

	 	(a)	the date on which the Employee gives notice of resignation to the Employer; or 

  

	 	(b)	the actual date of termination of employment (whether or not for cause).

 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement and the
Employee’s employment with the Employer may be terminated, without the Employer being obligated to provide the Employee with advance notice of termination or pay in lieu of such notice, whether under contract, statute, common law or otherwise
if: 
  

	 	i.	the Employee retires; 

  

	 	ii.	the Employee is unable to perform substantially all of the Employee’s employment related duties for a period of more than either three (3) consecutive months, or six (6) months in the aggregate during any

	 	iii.	the Employee’s employment is terminated for Cause. For purposes of this Section 6(a)(iii), “Cause” includes, without limitation, the following: 

 

	 	(A)	the Employee’s breach of a material term of this Agreement; 

  

	 	(B)	the Employee’s repeated and demonstrated failure to perform the material duties of the Employee’s position in a competent manner;

	 	(F)	the Employee’s failure to comply with any Employer rules or policies of a material nature; 

  

	 	(G)	the Employee’s failure to obey reasonable instructions provided to the Employee in the course of employment, within five (5) calendar days of receiving written notice of such disobedience; or

  

	 	(H)	any actions or omissions on the part of the Employee constituting gross misconduct or negligence resulting in material harm to the Employer; or 

 

	 	iv.	the Employee dies. 

 Upon any termination under this Section 6(a), the Employee or the Employee’s estate
will not be entitled to receive any further compensation or benefits pursuant to the terms of this Agreement other than those which have accrued up to the date of the Employee’s termination, subject to those death benefits which may be payable
in accordance with applicable insurance policies. For greater certainty, subject to Section 7, the Employee’s entitlement with respect to equity based compensation at the date of the termination of employment under this Section 6(a) shall be
governed by the terms and conditions under which they have been granted. 
  

	b.	Termination Without Cause 

 The employment of the Employee hereunder may be terminated at any time by the
Employer without Cause, or, within 12 months following a Change of Control (as defined in Section 6 (c) below), by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined in Section 6 (d) below), in which event the Employer shall have no further
obligation to the Employee other than the following: 
  

	 	i.	The Employee will receive severance (the “Severance Payment”) equal to: 

  

	 	(A)	Sixteen (16) months’ where the Employee is terminated by the Employer without Cause; or 

  

	 	(B)	Twelve (12) months’ where the Employee is terminated either by the Employer without Cause within twelve (12) months of a Change of Control or by the Employee for Good Reason within twelve (12) months
of a Change of Control. 

 The number of months for which the Severance Payment is paid, as per (i)(A) or (i)(B) above, shall
be referred to as the “Severance Period”. 
  

	 	ii.	For the purposes of subparagraph (i) above, a month’s compensation will be equal to: 

  

	 	(A)	the Employee’s then current monthly base salary, plus 

  

	 	(B)	monthly bonus equal to 1/36th of the total of all Bonuses paid to the Employee during the three (3) most recently completed fiscal years, plus 

 

	 	(C)	the monthly car allowance. 

  

	 	iii.	Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans, Mitel will subsidize the medical and dental COBRA costs for the Severance Period. The elected medical and dental benefits on the date of termination are the
items that Mitel will subsidize. All other benefits, such as disability, life, AD&D and travel accident, will cease effective as of the Termination Date. 

  

	 	iv.	Upon termination under this Section 6(b): 

  

	 	(A)	by the Employer without Cause, any equity based compensation granted to the Employee shall continue to be governed by the terms under which they were granted, or

	 	ii.	the closing of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such company in one or a series of transactions, 

provided however that any such Change in Control event shall also meet the definition of “change in ownership” or “change in
control” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  

	(d)	“Good Reason” shall mean any of the following, unless the Employee gives his express written consent thereto: 

  

	 	i.	a material adverse change in the Employee’s status or position as an employee of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control. Such material adverse change shall include, without limitation,

adversely affect the Employee’s continued participation in any such employee benefit or bonus program on at least as favorable a basis to the Employee as on the date of a Change of Control; 

 

	 	iv.	the Company requiring the Employee to be based anywhere other than within thirty-five (35) miles of where the Employee is based at the time of a Change of Control, except for required travel on the Company’s
business to an extent substantially consistent with the Employee’s business travel obligations in the ordinary course of business immediately prior to the Change of Control; 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee must give notice to the Company within 60 days following the Employee’s knowledge of an event
constituting Good Reason describing the alleged failure or action by the 

  
 - 5 - 

 
Company and advising of the Employee’s intention to terminate the Employee’s employment for Good Reason. The Company shall have 14 business days to correct such failure or action
following the delivery by the Employee of such written notice. If the Employee fails to provide such notice within 60 days, such event shall not constitute Good Reason under this Agreement.

	7.	EMPLOYEE COVENANTS 

  

	 	a.	Acknowledgement: In the course of employment with the Employer, the Employee will maintain close working relationships with the customers, clients, suppliers, distributors, consultants, agents and employees of
both the Employer and its affiliates. Due to the sensitive nature of the Employee’s position and the special access that the Employee will have to both the Employer’s Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) and Intellectual
Property (as hereinafter defined),the Employee will be in a position to irreparably harm the Employer should the Employee (either during the Employee’s term of employment with the Employer, or subsequent to the termination of such employment)
enter into competition with the Employer (directly or indirectly) or otherwise make use of the specialized knowledge, contacts and connections obtained during the Employee’s employment to the detriment of the Employer. The Employee acknowledges
that the unauthorized use or disclosure of such information could irreparably damage the Employer’s interests if made available to a competitor, or if used against the Employer for competitive purposes. 

The Employee agrees that the covenants and restrictions contained in this Section 7 are reasonable and valid in terms of time, scope of
activities and geographical limitations and understands and agrees that they are vital consideration for the purposes of the Employer entering into this Agreement. If the covenants and restrictions contained in this Section 7 are found to be
unreasonable to any extent by a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicating upon the validity of Section 7, whether as to the scope of the restriction, the area of the restriction or the duration of the restriction, then such restriction shall
be reduced to that which is in fact declared reasonable by such court, or a subsequent court of competent jurisdiction, requested to make such a declaration. 
  

	 	b.	 Confidential Information and Intellectual Property: During the course of the Employee’s employment
with the Employer, the Employee will have access to and be entrusted with 

  
 - 6 - 

	 	
confidential information relating to the Employer, its customers, suppliers and employees (the “Confidential Information”), the particulars of which, if disclosed to competitors of the
Employer or to the general public, would be detrimental to the best interests of the Employer. The Employee, therefore, agrees that the Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the Employer, and that while employed by the Employer and
at all times thereafter, the Employee will not, without the prior written consent of the Employer, (i) reveal, disclose or make known any Confidential Information to any person, or (ii) use the Confidential Information for any purpose,
other than for the purpose of the Employer. In addition, all worldwide rights, title and interest in any and all advances, computer programs, concepts, compositions, data, database technologies, designs, discoveries, domain names, drawings,
formulae, ideas, improvements, integrated circuit typographies, inventions, know-how, mask works, sketches, software, practices, processes, research materials, trade-secrets, work methods, patents,
trade-marks, copyright works and any other intellectual property (whether registrable or not) produced, made, composed, written, performed, or designed by the Employee, either alone or jointly with others, in the course of the Employee’s
employment with the Employer and in any way relating to the business of the Employer (the “Intellectual Property”), shall vest in and be the exclusive property of the Employer. The Employer shall have the sole and exclusive ownership of
and right of control over any and all business, customers, and goodwill created or developed by the Employee in the course of the Employee’s employment with the Employer, including all information, records, and documents concerning business and
customer accounts and all other instruments, documents, records, data, and information concerning or relating to the Employer’s business activities, interests and pursuits. 

 

	 	c.	IPR and Confidentiality Agreement: Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Employee shall execute and be bound by the Mitel lntellectual Property Rights and Confidentiality Agreement,
attached hereto as Schedule “A”. 

  

	 	d.	Restrictive Covenants: The Employee agrees that without the express prior written consent of the Employer, during the Employee’s employment with the Employer and for a period of twelve (12) months
thereafter, the Employee will not, anywhere in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom or any other territory where Employee has worked over the last twenty-four months, either alone or in conjunction with any individual, partnership, firm,
association, syndicate, company or other entity, either as an individual or as a partner or joint-venturer or as an employee, principal, consultant, agent, lender, shareholder (other than a passive holding of shares listed on a recognized North
American stock exchange that does not exceed two percent of the outstanding shares so listed), officer, director, or in any other manner, whatsoever, directly or indirectly: 

 

	 	i.	solicit or attempt to obtain the withdrawal from the Employer or any of its affiliates of any of their respective employees, contractors or consultants (provided, however, that any general public recruitment responded
to by such employees, contractors or consultants will not breach this subparagraph); 

  

	 	ii.	approach, solicit or attempt to solicit any customer/client or potential customer/client, wherever situated, of the Employer or any of its affiliates, with whom the Employee had dealings on behalf of the Employer within
the twelve (12) months prior to the cessation of the Employee’s employment with the Employer, in order to attempt to direct any such customer/client or potential customer/client away from the Employer or any of its affiliates;

  

	 	iii.	 engage in any Competitive Business, or in any way be employed by, associated or in any manner connected with any
Competitor, in any position, role or area of responsibility similar to those for which the Employee had responsibilities in his last five (5) years of 

  
 - 7 - 

	 	employment with the Employer. For the purposes of this paragraph, a Competitive Business or a Competitor means any business which engages in or proposes to engage in: (A) the same core business as that which is
carried on by the Employer or by such affiliate; or (B) that business which is the subject of the Employer’s or such affiliate’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development. The Employer may in its absolute discretion
from time to time designate any partnership, firm, association, syndicate, company or other entity as a directly competitive business for purposes of this paragraph 7, upon providing written notice of such designation to the Employee; or

  

	 	iv.	divert, attempt to divert, derive a benefit from or otherwise profit from any maturing business opportunities which to the knowledge of the Employee were pursued or advanced by the Employer or any of its affiliates at
any time within the twelve (12) months prior to the cessation of the Employee’s employment with the Employer. 

  

	 	e.	In the event that the Employee breaches any of the Employee’s ongoing obligations under this Section 7, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the terms under which they were granted or in this
Agreement: 

  

	 	i.	any equity based compensation, including but not limited to stock options or RSUs, granted to the Employee hereunder that are not yet expired, whether or not such equity based compensation has vested or remains
unvested, shall immediately expire; and 

  

	 	ii.	the Employee will immediately forfeit the already paid Severance Payment, and will not be entitled to receive any portion of, any unpaid remainder of the Severance Payment. 

 

	 	f.	Each subparagraph or sub-subparagraph of this Section 7 shall be (and shall be construed as) a separate and distinct covenant, independent of and severable from all other subparagraphs or sub-subparagraphs of this
Section 7. 

  

	 	g.	The provisions of this paragraph 7 shall survive the cessation for any reason whatsoever of the employment relationship between the Employer and the Employee and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the existence of any
claim or cause of action of Employee against the Employer whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise. Any such claim or cause of action will not constitute a defense to any injunction action, application or motion brought against the
Employee by the Employer for purposes of enforcing the provisions of this paragraph 7. 

  

	8.	DISCLOSURE 

 The Employee undertakes and agrees that, for a period of twelve months after the termination
of the Employee’s employment hereunder and prior to entering into any contractual relationship with any other party to serve as an officer, director, employee, partner, advisor, joint-venturer or in any other capacity with any other business,
undertaking, association, partnership, firm, enterprise or venture that competes with Mitel or its affiliates, the Employee shall disclose to such other party the terms of this Agreement. 

 

	9.	RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES 

 Any action or proceeding by either of the parties to enforce this Agreement
shall be brought only in a state or federal court located in the state of Texas, county of Collin. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive the defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
any such action or proceeding in such venue. Both parties knowingly waive the right to a jury to decide any dispute. 

  
 - 8 - 

	10.	U.S.TAX PROVISIONS 

  

	 	a.	Six-month delay: For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “termination”, “cessation of employment”, “cessation of services” and
“termination of employment” mean a separation from service as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the applicable guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”). Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Agreement, if on the date of Employee’s termination, Employee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, and an exception from Section 409A’s requirements is not available as to any one or more payments or
installments under this Agreement or otherwise, Employee shall not receive a distribution of such payment or installment, until six months after the date of termination. If Employee is subject to the restriction described in the previous sentence,
Employee will be paid on the first day of the seventh month after termination an amount equal to the benefit that Employee would have been paid during such six-month period absent such restriction. In
furtherance of the application of all possible exceptions to requirements of Section 409A, each payment or installment shall be treated as a separate payment in order to maximize the application of payments during the “short term deferral
period” under Section 409A. 

  

	 	b.	Expenses: To the extent any indemnification payment, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up payment or the provision of any in-kind
benefit is determined to be subject to Section 409A (and not exempt pursuant to the prior sentence or otherwise), the amount of any such indemnification payment or expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the indemnification payment or provision of in-kind benefits or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other
calendar year (except for any life-time or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), and in no event shall any indemnification payment or expenses be reimbursed or tax gross-up payment made
