Mr. Keith Santorelli 
45 A Street, Unit #3 
Boston, MA  02127

Dear Keith:
As expected, the Board decided during the Special Meeting that was just concluded to start a search for a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).  When a replacement is hired and after a brief transition period, your position will be eliminated.  I cannot predict how long this process will take.  In the meantime, you will remain a very valued member of the management team and I look forward to continuing to work with you.  Because of the uncertainty surrounding the timing, I will not announce this decision to our colleagues until we have hired a replacement CFO. 
I appreciate the uncertainty you face as a result of this situation.  I acknowledge that you need to start your own job search and to resume your career somewhere else as soon as possible.  However, I trust that you appreciate the importance of your role to the Company during the transition period.  I would like to offer the following financial and other incentives as a way to improve both of our situations:
		
	1.
	Your employment with the Company will continue indefinitely.  Once we find a replacement CFO, you will be asked to serve for another 30 days, after which time, your employment will be terminated.  We will waive the non-competition covenant set forth in your employment agreement upon the termination of your employment.

		
	2.
	If you find another position before we find a replacement CFO, we will waive the 60-day notice period and the non-competition covenant set forth in your employment agreement.  We will retain a contract CFO and will ask you to assist him or her during a 30-day transition period before your employment terminates.  Furthermore, we would expect you to secure permission from your new employer to be able to consult with our contract CFO as necessary to effect a smooth transition of duties.  Such consultation would not require your absence from your new place of employment nor consume more than five hours of your time per week nor extend for more than 60 days beyond the contract CFO’s start date. 

		
	3.
	Following the termination of your employment under the circumstances described in either paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 above, we will pay to you in cash in a lump sum (less applicable tax withholdings) an amount equal to US $244,800 plus a bonus pro-rated on the following basis:  

		
	a.
	In the case of the termination of your employment on or before December 31, 2015, an amount equal to US$73,440; plus

		
	b.
	In the case of the termination of your employment after December 31, 2015 and on or before March 31, 2016, an additional amount equal to US$18,360; plus

In the case of the termination of your employment after March 31, 2016, an additional amount equal to $18,360 for each quarter of service pro-rated based on the number of days during the quarter that you are employed.
		
	c.
	Such amounts will be paid within 20 business days after the termination of your employment or, if later, when the release described in paragraph 6 below is irrevocable.  

		
	4.
	After the termination of your employment under the circumstances described in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, we will reimburse you for your premiums to purchase for your benefit of up to eighteen (18) months of the coverage available as a result of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (COBRA). 

		
	5.
	Upon the termination of your employment under the circumstances described in either paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 above, your right to exercise any and all outstanding employee stock options previously granted to you will immediately vest.  

		
	6.
	Certain customary conditions will apply to the termination of your employment, including your execution of a release of any and all claims you may have against the Company.  

		
	7.
	You agree (1) to the amendment of your employment agreement to make clear that the payments described in paragraph 3 and 4 above and the benefit described in paragraph 5 above will only be made or made available if your resign for good reason or we terminate your employment without cause, in which event we stipulate that the termination of your employment pursuant to paragraphs 1 or 2 above will be a termination without cause and (2) that the payments described in paragraphs 3 and 4 above and the benefit described in paragraph 5 above will be in lieu of any payments or benefits under your employment agreement for a termination without cause or a resignation for good reason.  

If the foregoing proposal is satisfactory to you, please sign a counterpart of this letter in the place provided below and return it to me. 
Sincerely,
Aeterna Zentaris, Inc.

Exhibit 10.13

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED AIRCRAFT TIME SHARING AGREEMENT 

This Amended and Restated Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into this 29th day of March, 2016 (“Effective Date”) by and between Restoration Hardware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lessor”), and Gary G. Friedman, an individual (“Lessee”). Lessor and Lessee are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as “Party” and also collectively as “Parties”. 

RECITALS 

WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee are parties to that certain Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement dated March 27, 2015 (the “Original Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement in order to allow the Original Agreement to cover all corporate aircraft that Lessor operates from time to time as set forth on Exhibit A hereto (currently such aircraft, individually or collectively, as the context may require, the “Aircraft”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and based on the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein, the Parties agree that the Original Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

ARTICLE 1 

LEASE OF AIRCRAFT 

1.1 Lease of Aircraft. Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Federal Aviation Regulations (“FAR”) Section 91.501(c)(l), Lessor hereby agrees to lease the Aircraft from time to time to Lessee on a time sharing, non-continuous and non-exclusive basis, and Lessee hereby agrees to lease the Aircraft from time to time from Lessor on a time sharing, non-continuous and non-exclusive basis, during the Term (as defined in Article 2) and subject to the terms and conditions herein contained. 

1.2 Delivery and Redelivery of Aircraft. Upon the request of Lessee, subject to the availability of the Aircraft as determined by Lessor in accordance with Section 1.3, Lessor shall make the Aircraft available to Lessee at such location as Lessee may reasonably request. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor currently bases the Aircraft at Oakland International Airport (KOAK), Oakland, CA (“Home Base”). The repositioning, ferry or dead head flights of the Aircraft required in connection with Lessee’s flights of the Aircraft under this Agreement, including delivery and/or redelivery of the Aircraft to the Home Base or to such other location as determined by Lessor’s specific schedule of the Aircraft usage for its intended business or as the Parties may otherwise agree, shall be deemed to be use of the Aircraft by Lessee and at Lessee’s expense subject to the FAA Maximum (as defined and set forth in Section 1.4). 

1.3 Availability, Scheduling, and Use of Aircraft Flights. Lessee shall advise Lessor of his request for flight time and use of the Aircraft under this Agreement by giving Lessor advance notice by telephone, email and/or facsimile. Lessee’s notice shall provide the customary information required by Lessor and its flight crew for each proposed flight. Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall have final authority over the scheduling of the Aircraft and in the event of a scheduling conflict, Lessor’s plans and decisions shall control. 

1.4 Rent. For each flight (including the repositioning, ferry or dead head flights set forth under Section 1.2) conducted under this Agreement, Lessee shall pay to Lessor rent (“Rent”) equal to the Variable Costs (as defined below) of the flight; provided, however, that in no case shall the Rent for a flight exceed the FAA Maximum. The amount of Rent for a particular flight shall be estimated by Lessor (or its delegate) in advance of a particular flight and shall be finally determined after the particular flight. With respect to a particular flight, the “FAA Maximum” shall equal the aggregate amount of the expenses incurred for such flight as authorized and listed by FAR Section 91.501(d), consisting of the following enumerated expenses: 

 

			
	
 
	
(1)
	
Fuel, oil, lubricants, and other additives; 

 

			
	
 
	
(2)
	
Travel expenses of the crew, including food, lodging, and ground transportation; 

 

			
	
 
	
(3)
	
Hangar and tie-down costs away from the Aircraft’s base of operations; 

1

 

 

			
	
 
	
(4)
	
Insurance obtained for the specific flight; 

 

			
	
 
	
(5)
	
Landing fees, airport taxes, and similar assessments (including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, reimbursement of the taxes referred to in Section 1.6); 

 

			
	
 
	
(6)
	
Customs, foreign permit, and similar fees directly related to the flight; 

 

			
	
 
	
(7)
	
In flight food and beverages; 

 

			
	
 
	
(8)
	
Passenger ground transportation; 

 

			
	
 
	
(9)
	
Flight planning and weather contract services; and 

 

			
	
 
	
(10)
	
An additional charge equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the expenses listed in paragraph (1) of this Section 1.4. 

The “Variable Costs” of a particular flight shall equal the FAA Maximum with respect to that flight, modified by (a) subtracting the amount set forth in paragraph (10) of this Section 1.4, and (b) adding any variable maintenance and other variable costs of the flight not otherwise included in paragraphs (1) through (9) of this Section 1.4. (e.g., the Rolls Royce Corporate Care program with respect to the engines of the Aircraft and the Honeywell Maintenance Service Plan (MSP) with respect to the auxiliary power unit of the Aircraft, to the extent Lessor has enrolled in such programs which Lessor shall determine in its sole discretion). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a particular trip is comprised of both business purpose flight legs and personal use flight legs, Rent for such trip shall be determined as follows: 

 

				
	
 
	
•
	
 
	
The basic principle shall be that Variable Costs shall be calculated for all flight legs of such trip and shall be compared to the hypothetical Variable Costs that would have been incurred had the trip itinerary been conducted solely as a business purpose flight. The excess, if any, of such Variable Costs shall be the amount of Rent imposed upon Lessee for such trip consisting of mixed purpose flight segments; provided, however, that in no case shall the Rent for a flight exceed the FAA Maximum. Any personal use attributable to a specific flight leg of a trip comprising multi-leg flights shall render that specific flight leg, in its entirety, a personal use flight leg of the trip. 

 

				
	
 
	
•
	
 
	
For purposes of clarity, assume that Lessee is traveling on the Aircraft from San Francisco to New York for business reasons and is scheduled to return from New York to San Francisco as part of the same business trip. If, instead of returning to San Francisco from New York, Lessee adds a new leg to the flight from New York to Miami for personal reasons and then travels back to San Francisco from Miami, Lessee shall pay Rent on the New York-to-Miami and the Miami- to-San Francisco legs of the trip, but the amount of such Rent shall not exceed the positive difference (if any) between the Variable Costs of such flight legs less hypothetical Variable Costs that would have been incurred had the return trip been completed via a nonstop flight from New York-to-San Francisco as a business purpose flight. Accordingly, in such example, if the Variable Costs of the New York-to-San Francisco return flight segment for business purposes would have been $10,000 and the Variable Costs with respect to the New York-to-Miami and the Miami-to-San Francisco flight legs totaled $15,000, the Rent for the two personal legs of the flight would be $5,000 (but subject to the FAA Maximum limitation). 

 

				
	
 
	
•
	
 
	
As another example, assume that a flight is necessary from San Francisco to New York for business reasons and would otherwise be scheduled to return from New York to San Francisco as part of the same business trip. If, for personal reasons, Lessee makes a stop in Chicago on the way to New York from San Francisco and, on the return flight, stops in Denver for personal reasons, Lessee shall pay Rent on the entire trip (all four flight legs), but the amount of such Rent shall be equal to the positive difference (if any) between the Variable Costs of all four flight legs of such trip less the hypothetical Variable Costs that would have been incurred had the two business-intended flight legs of the trip (San Francisco-to-New York and New York-to-San Francisco) been completed for business purposes (subject in all events to the FAA Maximum limitation). 

1.5 Taxation. In the event that the SIFL Value (as defined below) with respect to a specific flight should exceed Rent for a particular flight, then such excess difference shall be imputed as taxable compensation to Lessee includable in Lessee’s gross income in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), and Treasury 

2

 

Regulations promulgated thereunder and correctly treated and documented for income tax and employment tax and reporting purposes. To the extent any such income results in tax withholding obligations for Restoration Hardware, Inc., Lessor, or any of their respective affiliates, Lessee agrees that such entity may withhold the amount of such taxes from any other compensation otherwise payable to Lessee or may require Lessee to provide for such payment. The “SIFL Value” of a particular flight shall equal the valuation of such flight using the special non-commercial flight valuation rule for employees determined under the base aircraft valuation formula (also known as the Standard Industry Fare Level formula), in accordance with the applicable provisions of federal income tax regulations Section l.61-21(g). 

1.6 Federal Excise Tax on Transportation by Air. Lessee agrees and accepts that Lessee shall be responsible for paying to Lessor the federal excise tax under IRC Section 4261 on the Rent paid to Lessor in accordance with Section 1.4. 

1.7 Method of Payment. Lessee shall provide Lessor from time to time a deposit in an amount reasonably estimated by the Parties to cover the anticipated level of Rent for personal use by Lessee of the Aircraft (the minimum deposit shall be maintained at level of not less than $100,000.00); provided, that Lessor may request an increase in the deposit amount at any time based on anticipated use of the Aircraft. Lessor is permitted to deduct from the deposit at any time the amount of Rent that is incurred under this Agreement from time to time and in such event Lessee agrees promptly to replenish the deposit account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in any event to the minimum level of $100,000.00. Lessor shall provide Lessee a periodic statement of Rent incurred. 

ARTICLE 2 

TERM 

The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for one year after said date. This Agreement shall automatically be renewed for additional one (1) year periods upon the same terms and conditions in the event neither Party gives the other Party a written notice of termination thirty (30) days prior to the end of the initial term or any extensions (the initial term and any extensions thereof are hereinafter referred to as “Term”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days’ written notice or this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon (i) the sale of the Aircraft, or (ii) Lessee ceasing to be an executive officer of Lessor.  

ARTICLE 3 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES 

3.1 Operational Control and Crew. With respect to each flight undertaken under this Agreement, Lessor shall have and retain operational control of the Aircraft as provided in the applicable FAR (as defined in FAR Section 1.1 “operational control,” with respect to a flight, means the exercise of authority over initiating, conducting, or terminating a flight); and, for federal tax purposes, shall have and retain “possession, command and control” of the Aircraft, as determined under IRC and the Regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder. Lessor shall employ, pay for and provide to Lessee a qualified flight crew for each flight undertaken under this Agreement. 

3.2 Duties and Responsibilities of Crew. In accordance with applicable FAR, the qualified flight crew provided or contracted for by Lessor will exercise all of its duties and responsibilities in regard to the safety of each flight conducted hereunder. Lessee specifically agrees that the flight crew, in its sole discretion, may terminate any flight, refuse to commence any flight, or take other action which in the considered judgment of the pilot in command is necessitated by considerations of safety. The pilot in command shall have final and complete authority to cancel any flight for any reason or condition, which in the judgment of such pilot in command would compromise the safety of the flight. No such action of the pilot in command shall create or support any liability for loss, injury, damage or delay to Lessee or any other person. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor shall not be liable under any circumstances for delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft and the flight crew pursuant to this Agreement, except in the event of willful misconduct by Lessor. 

3.3 Maintenance. Lessor shall be solely responsible for securing maintenance, preventive maintenance and required or otherwise necessary inspections on the Aircraft, and shall take such requirements into account in scheduling the Aircraft. No period of maintenance, preventive maintenance or inspection shall be delayed or postponed for the purpose of scheduling the Aircraft, unless said maintenance or inspection can be safely conducted at a later time in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and within the sound discretion of the pilot in command. 

3

 

3.4 Exercise of Authority and Rights on Behalf of Lessor. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Board of Directors of Lessor shall have the authority on behalf of Lessor to take all actions with respect to this Agreement. Inasmuch as this Agreement constitutes a related party transaction between Lessor and Lessee, the Board of Directors of Lessor has also granted the Audit Committee of Lessor’s Board of Directors with plenary authority to act on behalf of the Board of Directors with respect to any matter under this Agreement. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee may further authorize the Chief Financial Officer of Lessor or the Chief Legal Officer of Lessor to act by delegated authority on behalf of Lessor with respect to any issues arising under this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 4 

INSURANCE 

4.1 Insurance by Lessor. Lessor, at its sole cost, shall maintain in effect during the Term of this Agreement its present liability insurance covering public liability, property damage, including passenger legal liability and its all-risk hull and engine insurance. Lessor’s insurance shall be primary and without right of contribution from any other insurance. Lessor shall cause Lessee to be an additional named insured with respect to the liability coverage. 

4.2 Further Insurance. Lessor will provide such additional insurance coverage as Lessee shall request or require, provided, however, that the cost of such additional insurance shall be borne by Lessee as set forth in paragraph (4) of the definition of FAA Maximum (and the corresponding inclusion of such amount in the definition of Variable Expenses) in Section 1.4 of this Agreement. 

 

ARTICLE 5

5.2.3 Lessee shall refrain from incurring any mechanics or other lien in connection with inspection, preventative maintenance, maintenance or storage of the Aircraft, whether permissible or impermissible under this Agreement, nor shall there be any attempt by Lessee to convey, mortgage, assign, lease or any way alienate the Aircraft or create any kind of lien or security interest involving the Aircraft or do anything to take or fail to take any action that might mature into such a lien or security interest attaching to the Aircraft; and 

5.2.4 During the term of this Agreement, Lessee shall abide by and conform to all such laws, governmental and airport orders, rules and regulations, as shall from time to time be in effect relating in any way to the operation and use of the Aircraft by a time sharing lessee.
