 Exhibit 10.4 
  
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made as of July 1, 2004 (this
“Agreement”), by and between Bear Creek Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Stephen V. O’Connell, an individual residing at 440 Scottsdale Circle, Medford, Oregon 97504
(“Executive”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 The Company and Executive wish to enter into a formal employment contract
that will govern the terms and conditions applicable to Executive’s employment with the Company; 
  
 Accordingly, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 I. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT 
  
 1.1 Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Commencing on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) and terminating on the
earlier of the fourth anniversary (each such anniversary, an “Anniversary”) of the Effective Date and any earlier date of termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Article II (the “Employment Period”),
Executive will serve as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of the Company and will in such capacity report directly to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company. 

 
 (b) Executive will perform and undertake in good faith
and to the best of his ability the customary duties and responsibilities of a chief financial officer and chief administrative officer relative to the Company and as may be assigned to him from time to time by the CEO. 
  
 (c) During the Employment Period, Executive will devote his
full working time and attention during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the foregoing will not preclude Executive from being involved in civic or charitable
activities, as long as such activities do not interfere with his ability to perform his duties and obligations hereunder. 
  
 (d) As long as Executive serves as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, he will be entitled to serve on the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”) and the Board of Directors of Bear Creek Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), the parent of the Company. 
  
 1.2 Compensation. (a) During the Employment Period, Executive will be paid a base salary at the initial annual rate of $500,000 (such
salary at any time being referred to as “Base Salary”). After the Second Anniversary, the Base Salary will be subject to review by the Board (or a committee thereof) not less frequently than annually and may be adjusted annually in
the sole discretion of the Board (or a committee thereof) by such amount, if any, as the Board (or a committee thereof) determines in its sole discretion. In making any such determination, the 

  

 
Board (or a committee thereof) will take into account, among other things, Executive’s performance; the historical business practices of the Company;
salary adjustments for key executives in other comparable companies as determined by the Board (or a committee thereof) or the Company’s compensation consultants; and the Company’s financial performance, condition and prospects. Base
Salary will be paid in substantially equal installments at periodic intervals in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices for salaried employees, but not less frequently than semi-monthly or bi-weekly as determined by the Company in its
sole discretion. 
  
 (b) Executive will
participate in the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan on the terms and conditions then applicable generally to other executives of the Company. However, Executive’s target bonus will be 40% of Base Salary, with the actual bonus ranging from
0% to 80% of Base Salary, depending upon the performance of the Company and Executive, or such higher percentages as may from time to time be determined by the Board (or a committee thereof) in its sole discretion. The Company’s and
Executive’s performance goals shall be established by the Board (or a committee thereof) in its sole discretion after Executive shall have been afforded an opportunity to provide his input to the Board (or such committee). Within the foregoing
parameters and except as provided below, the Board (or a committee thereof) will determine in its sole discretion the exact amount of the Annual Incentive Plan bonus to be paid each year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each of the fiscal years
ending March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, Executive will be entitled to receive a bonus under the Annual Incentive Plan equal to 40% of the Base Salary in effect on the date hereof. Any bonus to which Executive is entitled as provided above will be
paid in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices for salaried employees and the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan after the end of the fiscal year as to which such bonus relates. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, if any time during the Employment Period the sum of the Base Salary and Executive’s bonus for any fiscal year of the Company is less than (such difference being referred to as a “Shortfall”) 75% of the total cash
compensation package, including any deferred compensation, paid to the Company’s most-highly compensated employee (other than William H. Williams) for such fiscal year, Executive’s Base Salary or Executive’s bonus (whichever the Board
(or a committee thereof) elects), will be increased by the amount of any Shortfall, provided that the total of Executive’s Base Salary and bonus for such fiscal year (after giving effect to any adjustment required hereby) will not exceed
$900,000. For purposes of this Section 1.2(c), the Company includes the Company’s Subsidiaries and its Affiliates. 
  
 (d) If the Company changes its fiscal year, the provisions of this Section 1.2 will be adjusted in such manner as shall be equitable to
the Company and Executive. 
  
 1.3 Equity
Compensation. (a) Executive will be entitled to participate in Bear Creek Holdings Inc.’s 2004 Stock Option Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any
related option agreement contemplated by the Plan. The Board (or a committee thereof) may, from time to time and upon the terms and conditions adopted thereby, recommend that Executive be granted stock options under the Plan in addition to the
options provided for herein. Except as provided in Section 1.3(b), the granting of any such options will be at the sole discretion of the board of directors of Holdings (or a committee thereof) and Holdings will have no obligation to grant any such
options. 
  

 2 

 (b) As of the Effective Date, Executive will be granted options
(“Options”) under the Plan to purchase 22,973 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Holdings (“Common Stock”), representing 2.125% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the
Effective Date, after giving effect to the exercise of the Options and all other options issuable under the Plan as if all of the options contemplated on June 17, 2004 to be issued have been issued. It is understood that any subsequent issuances of
options shall dilute all shareholders and option holders pro rata. The Options will be granted pursuant to and be governed by an option agreement and the Plan and will have the following terms in addition to those contained in such option
agreement: 
  

	 	(i)	20% of the Options will vest and become exercisable on June 17, 2005 and June 17, 2006, and 5.0% will vest and become exercisable on September 17, 2006 and the 17th day of each third calendar month thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Executive’s Involuntary
Termination before June 17, 2006, those Options that would have become vested as provided above through June 17, 2006 (i.e., 40% of the Options), to the extent not already vested as provided above, will become immediately vested as of the date of
such Involuntary Termination; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Options will have an exercise price of $82.60 per share of Common Stock; 

  

	 	(iii)	in the event of any resignation by Executive or in the event of any termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, the Options that are vested on the date of such resignation
or termination must be exercised within 30 days after the date of such resignation or termination; provided, however, that in the event of Executive’s death or Involuntary Termination, such vested Options must be exercised within
120 days after death or such Involuntary Termination; 

  

	 	(iv)	in the event of a Change in Control, the Options that have not become vested as provided above before such Change in Control will become immediately vested and exercisable as of the
date of such Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), will not constitute a Change in
Control; 

  

	 	(v)	as a condition to exercising any Options that are or become vested as provided above (other than as a result of a Change in Control), Executive will become a party to and be bound
by that certain Stockholders Agreement dated as of June 17, 2004 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), among Holdings, U.S. Equity Partners II, LP, U.S. Equity Partners II (U.S. Parallel), LP, U.S. Equity Partners (Offshore) II, LP,
Highfields Capital I LP, Highfields Capital II LP and Highfields Capital Ltd.; 

  

 3 

	 	(vi)	upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason, all of Executive’s Options which are not then vested will be forfeited and deemed canceled; and

  

	 	(vii)	prior to an IPO, the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the exercise of the Options will be subject to the Company’s Repurchase Right as provided in the Plan
and the option agreement relating to the grant of Options. 

  
 (c) If the Company consummates an initial public offering of its common stock under the Act prior to Holdings doing so, Executive will have the right to convert (without payment of any consideration) any or all of the
Options into options to acquire such shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, and the terms and conditions regarding such options will be the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Options. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of
Executive’s death, the number of Options that will be exercisable subsequent to such death as provided in Section 1.3(b)(iii) above will be calculated as if 25% of the Options vest and become exercisable on June 17, 2005 and June 17, 2006 and
6.25% vest and become exercisable on September 17, 2006 and the 17th day of each third calendar month thereafter.

  
 1.4 Participation in Employee Benefits
Plans. (a) Executive and his family will be eligible to participate in the plans of the Company generally available to other senior executives relating to pension, cash or deferred arrangements under Section 401(k) of the Code, life
insurance, disability, medical coverage, education or other retirement or employee benefits that the Company has or may adopt for the benefit of its employees, as they may be in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will
not be entitled to receive benefits under any severance plan, program or arrangement of the Company, including, but not limited to, the Bear Creek Corporation Severance Pay Plan since such severance benefits are provided for in this Agreement.

  
 (b) Executive will accrue paid vacation
benefits during the Employment Period in accordance with the Company’s paid time off practices for salaried employees. 
  
 1.5 Fringe Benefits. In addition to the benefit plans referred to above, Executive will be entitled to participate in any other
fringe benefits that are now or may become applicable to the Company’s executive employees, including any supplemental life insurance benefit for executives of the Company, pursuant to the Company’s policy for its executive officers.

  
 1.6 Reimbursement of Business and Other
Expenses. (a) Executive will be entitled to receive reimbursement from the Company for reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policies
in effect from time to time. 
  
 (b) From the
Effective Date until August 31, 2004, the Company will provide to, or reimburse Executive for, temporary housing in the Medford, Oregon area and reimburse Executive for coach airfare for Executive for weekend travel to New Jersey or for the
reasonable travel and relocation expenses of his spouse and children to Medford, Oregon. 
  

 4 

 (c) The Company will reimburse Executive for (i) reasonable moving expenses that are
documented in writing and are consistent with Company policy; and (ii) reasonable travel expenses incurred by Executive’s spouse and children for the purpose of searching for a permanent residence in the Medford, Oregon area. 
  
 (d) During each of the first three years of the Employment
Period, the Company will reimburse Executive for coach airfare for, and reasonable incidental travel expenses of, Executive, his spouse and their children in connection with one trip to New Jersey during each such year. 
  
 (e) The Company will reimburse Executive for
“breakage costs” of private schools for Executive’s children in the amount of approximately $5,500, after receipt by the Company of reasonable substantiating documentation. 
  
 (f) The Company will reimburse Executive for the reasonable
costs and expenses of one attorney selected by Executive that are incurred by Executive in respect of the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement. 
  
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company’s obligation to reimburse
Executive as provided above in this Section 1.6 is conditioned upon receipt by the Company of reasonable substantiating documentation in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policies in effect from time to time. 
  
 (h) Executive will be entitled to be fully grossed up for
certain taxes incurred by Executive as a result of the reimbursements provided under clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 1.6 as provided in the Company’s executive relocation program. 
  
 1.7 Changes in Benefits. The Company in its sole
discretion reserves the right to change all aspects of the Annual Incentive Plan and to change or terminate all practices, programs and benefits (including employee benefit and executive fringe benefit plans and programs), provided that any
such changes or terminations are made generally with respect to all employees or executives who are similarly situated to Executive and are not targeted with respect to Executive alone. 
  
 II. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 
  

2.1 Involuntary Termination. (a) The Company may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time for any
reason, with or without Cause, by giving prior notice of such termination to Executive. If such termination notice is given to Executive, the Company may, if it so desires, immediately relieve Executive of some or all of his duties. 
  
 (b) In the event of an Involuntary Termination of Executive,
Executive will be entitled to receive: 
  

	 	(i)	 salary continuation payments equal to 100% of Executive’s then applicable Base Salary for a period of (A) two years if such Involuntary Termination occurs
before the Second Anniversary, (B) 18 months if such Involuntary Termination occurs on or after the Second Anniversary but 

  

 5 

	 	 
before the Third Anniversary or (C) 12 months if such Involuntary Termination occurs on or after the Third Anniversary; 

  

	 	(ii)	the applicable Bonus Severance Amount. “Bonus Severance Amount” means an amount equal to the Target Bonus multiplied by (A) 2.0 if such Involuntary Termination
occurs before the Second Anniversary, (B) 1.5 if such Involuntary Termination occurs on or after the Second Anniversary but before the Third Anniversary or (C) 1.0 if such Involuntary Termination occurs on or after the Third Anniversary.
“Target Bonus” means the target bonus payable under Section 1.2(b) for the year in which an Involuntary Termination occurs, calculated as if Executive had remained employed by the Company through the end of such year and had fully
earned and been awarded such bonus; 

  

	 	(iii)	payment of the dollar value (determined based upon Base Salary) for any vacation time accrued during the calendar year in which such Involuntary Termination occurs but that is
unused as of the date of such termination; 

  

	 	(iv)	to the extent eligible on the date of termination, and to the extent permissible under the terms of the applicable plans, continued participation for Executive and his family in all
welfare plans, subject to the same employee contribution levels as in effect from time to time for similarly situated executives, until the earliest to occur of (i) (A) two years after the date of any such Involuntary Termination that occurs before
the Second Anniversary, (B) 18 months after the date of any such Involuntary Termination that occurs on or after the Second Anniversary but before the Third Anniversary and (C) 12 months after the date of any such Involuntary Termination that occurs
after the Third Anniversary, and (ii) the first date that Executive is covered under a health benefit program that provides substantially the same level of benefits without exclusion for pre-existing medical conditions. To the extent such coverage
cannot be provided under the Company’s welfare benefit plans without jeopardizing the tax status of such plans, for underwriting reasons or because of the tax impact on Executive, the Company will reimburse Executive for the portion of the
costs of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) that exceeds Executive’s group health plan contribution from time to time, and to the extent that COBRA coverage is not
available, the Company will pay Executive an amount such that Executive can purchase such benefits separately at no greater after tax cost (net of Executive’s contributions) to Executive had Executive been covered under the plans as set forth
above. Any benefit participation described in this subsection will be offset against the requirements of COBRA; 

  

	 	(v)	reimbursement of previously incurred expenses; and 

  

 6 

	 	(vi)	any other amounts due and payable to Executive that have not previously been paid. 

  
 (c) The payments contemplated by Section 2.1(b) will be made in accordance with the Company’s normal
payroll practices; provided, however, that any Bonus Severance Amount payable hereunder will be paid at periodic intervals (and not in a lump sum), unless the Board determines otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Executive will not be entitled to receive any payments under Section 2.1(b) unless Executive executes and delivers to the Company a mutual release in the form of Exhibit A, with all periods of revocation thereof having expired;
provided, however, that Executive will have no obligation to execute and deliver such release if the Company and Holdings do not execute and deliver such release. 
  
 2.2 Voluntary Resignation by Executive. (a) Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any
time by giving the Company at least 60 days’ prior notice of such termination. If such notice is given by the Executive to the Company, the Company may, if it so desires, immediately relieve Executive of some or all of his duties.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no action by the Company following such notice will be deemed to be an Involuntary Termination. 
  
 (b) Upon the termination of Executive’s employment by reason of a voluntary resignation by Executive which does not constitute an
Involuntary Termination, Executive will be entitled to receive: 
  

	 	(i)	any unpaid Base Salary accrued for services rendered through the date of termination and the dollar value (determined based upon Base Salary) for vacation time accrued during the
current calendar year but unused as of the date of termination; 

  

	 	(ii)	reimbursement of previously incurred expenses; and 

  

	 	(iii)	any other amounts due and payable to Executive that have not previously been paid. 

  
 2.3 Termination by the Company for Cause. (a) The Company may terminate Executive’s employment
hereunder for Cause by written notice. 
  
 (b)
Should Executive’s employment hereunder be terminated by the Company for Cause, Executive will be entitled to receive: 
  

	 	(i)	any unpaid Base Salary accrued for services rendered through the date of termination and the dollar value (determined based upon Base Salary) for vacation time accrued during the
current calendar year but unused as of the date of termination; 

  

	 	(ii)	reimbursement of previously incurred expenses; and 

  

 7 

	 	(iii)	any other amounts due and payable to Executive that have not previously been paid. 

  
 2.4 Death or Disability. (a) The Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for
Disability by written notice. The date of termination for Disability under this Section 2.4 will be the first day following the disability period specified in clause (c) below. 
  
 (b) In the event Executive’s employment hereunder terminates by reason of Executive’s death or
Disability, the Company will be required to pay Executive or Executive’s estate (i) any unpaid Base Salary accrued for services rendered through the date of Executive’s death or date of termination for Disability and through the end of the
calendar month next succeeding such date of death or date of termination for Disability; (ii) the dollar value (determined based upon the annual rate of Base Salary in effect for Executive at the time of his death or Disability) of all vacation time
accrued during the current calendar year but unused as of the date of death or date of termination for Disability; (iii) reimbursement of previously incurred expenses; and (iv) any other amounts due and payable to Executive that have not previously
been paid. 
  
 (c) During any period that
Executive fails to perform his duties as a result of a Disability (“disability period”), Executive will continue to receive his full Base Salary at the rate then in effect for such period until his employment is terminated pursuant
to Section 2.4(a), provided that payment so made to Executive during the disability period will be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, payable to Executive at or prior to the time of any such payment under the disability benefit plans
of the Company or under the Social Security disability insurance program. 
  
 2.5 Termination of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all payments and benefits under this Article II will immediately terminate in the event Executive fails to
abide by the restrictive covenants in Article III. 
  
 2.6
Cooperation in Claims or Litigation. For a period of two years after any termination or resignation of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive will meet with the Company upon request, at dates and times mutually agreeable
to Executive and the Company, to discuss any claim or litigation involving the Company or its Subsidiaries which involves issues of which he has knowledge and will use reasonable efforts to cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such matters,
provided that such meetings and cooperation do not materially interfere with Executive’s then current employment. Executive will, if permitted by applicable law, notify the Company as promptly as practicable if he is subpoenaed or
otherwise served with legal process in any lawsuit involving the Company or its Subsidiaries and will testify truthfully and honestly in any such proceeding. Executive will notify the Company if any attorney who is not representing the Company
contacts or attempts to contact Executive to obtain information that in any way relates to the Company or its Subsidiaries, and Executive will not discuss any of these matters with any such attorney without first so notifying the Company and
providing the Company with an opportunity to have its attorney present during any meeting or conversation with any such attorney. The Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with performing
the activities provided for in this Section 2.6, 

  

 8 

 
subject to receiving reasonable substantiating documentation relating to such expenses. No compensation will be paid to Executive in connection with his
obligations under this Section 2.6. 
  
 2.7 Survival
of Contractual Provisions. All accrued but unpaid obligations of the Company to Executive with respect to compensation, expense reimbursement, accrued vacation and the like, due and payable as of the date of the termination of
Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason, will survive such termination. 
  
 2.8 Full Settlement; No Duty to Mitigate. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated under this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, Executive is not required to seek
other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to Executive by the Company. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement will not be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive or benefit
provided to Executive as the result of employment by another employer or otherwise. 
  
 2.9 Certain Tax Matters. (a) If it is determined (as hereafter provided) that any payment or distribution by the Company or any of its affiliates to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid
or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation any stock option, restricted stock,
performance share, performance unit, stock appreciation right or similar right, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on, or the vesting or exercisability of, any of the foregoing (a “Payment”), would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) by reason of being considered “contingent on a change in ownership or control” of the Company, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any
successor provision thereto) or to any similar tax imposed by state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such tax (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, being hereafter collectively referred to as
the “Excise Tax”), but for the application of this sentence, then the payments and benefits to be paid or provided under this Agreement will be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (but in no event to less than zero) so that no
portion of any such payment or benefit, as so reduced, will constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; provided, however, that the foregoing reduction will be made only if and to the extent
that such reduction would result in an increase in the aggregate payment and benefits to be provided, determined on an after-tax basis (taking into account the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision
thereto, any tax imposed by any comparable provision of state law, and any applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes). The determination of whether any reduction in such payments or benefits to be provided under this Agreement
or otherwise is required pursuant to the preceding sentence will be made at the expense of the Company, if requested by Executive or the Company, by the Company’s independent accountants. The fact that Executive’s right to payments or
benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this Section 2.9 will not of itself limit or otherwise affect any other rights of Executive other than pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that any payment or benefit intended to
be provided under this Agreement or otherwise is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 2.9, Executive will be entitled to designate the payments and/or benefits to be so reduced in order to give effect to this Section 2.9. The Company will
provide Executive with all information reasonably requested by Executive to permit Executive to make such designation. In the event that Executive fails to make such designation within 10 business 

  

 9 

 
days of the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment or other event giving rise to a potential Excise Tax, the Company may effect such
reduction in any manner it deems appropriate. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 2.9(a), if no stock in the Company is readily tradable on an established securities market or otherwise, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) at the time of
any change in ownership or control of the Company, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), then the Board and Executive may submit each Payment considered “contingent on a change in ownership or
control” of the Company, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), for approval by all voting shareholders of the Company as of the proposed effective date of such change in ownership or control, and
provide all voting shareholders of the Company the disclosure information required under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) for purposes of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. Within a reasonable time after such
disclosure, such shareholders will approve or not approve the Payments. Such Payments will not be effective and binding on the parties hereto unless and until more than 75% of the voting shareholders approve such Payments and the amounts payable
thereunder. In the event that the Board and Executive cannot agree on which Payments will be submitted to shareholders as described above or the shareholders of the Company do not approve any such Payment, the provisions of Section 2.9(a) will
apply. 
  
 III. NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION,

 NON-DISPARAGEMENT, ETC. 
  
 3.1 Non-Compete. Commencing on the Effective Date and ending (a) on the second anniversary of any termination or resignation of
employment hereunder other than under Section 2.1 or (b) if such termination constitutes Involuntary Termination, on the last day of the salary continuation period provided in Section 2.1(b)(i) (the “Non-Compete Period”), Executive
will not, directly or indirectly, engage in, be employed by or act as a consultant to any Person directly or indirectly engaged in, or maintain any interest in or provide or arrange financing for any Person (whether as a director, officer, agent,
representative, security holder, equity owner, partner, member or otherwise) directly or indirectly engaged in, the Business (a “Competing Business”); provided, however, that Executive may own not more than 5% of any
class of publicly-traded securities of any legal entity engaged in a Competing Business and that any Person whose consolidated gross sales from the Business as of its then most recently completed fiscal year are less than $10,000,000 for such fiscal
year shall be deemed not to be a Competing Business. “Business” means the growing, marketing and distribution of fruit, food products, plants and plant products and the sale of such products through direct mail, internet
distribution or retail stores, and any other business or activity in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged on (or have taken substantial steps to engage on or before) the date of Executive’s termination of employment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in any year after the Second Anniversary, the sum of Base Salary and bonus for such year is less than $400,000 and Executive voluntarily resigns and such resignation does not constitute an Involuntary Termination,
the Non-Compete Period will end on the 180th day after such resignation. 
  

 10 

 3.2 Non-Solicitation. Without limiting the generality of Section 3.1, during the
Non-Compete Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or in any manner encourage (i) any independent contractor (including any member of the Company’s sales force), producer, agent or business partner of the Company or
any Subsidiary or any present employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or such an employee during the Non-Compete Period, to leave the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or otherwise terminate his or her relationship with the Company or any
Subsidiary or to sell products of any other direct selling company, cease selling any products of the Company or any Subsidiary or withdraw in any way from any existing relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, or (ii) any
manufacturer, vendor or customer of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate its relationship or reduce its level of business with the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. The foregoing will not prohibit Executive from placing
advertisements in publications of general circulation or from soliciting or employing any individual who has received notice of termination from, or ceases to be employed by, the Company or any Subsidiary. 
  
 3.3 Non-Disparagement. Without limiting the generality
of Sections 3.1 and 3.2, during the Non-Compete Period, neither party will, directly or indirectly, make any oral or written statement or publication with respect to the other, or with regard to the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their
stockholders, directors, officers, employees, lenders or their respective Affiliates, which disparages or denigrates, or could reasonably be interpreted as, disparaging or denigrating, the other party, or such Subsidiary or other Persons, except in
connection with enforcement of its rights hereunder. 
  
 3.4
Standstill. Except as requested by the Company in writing, Executive will not as a principal, or agent of another Person, (i) propose or publicly announce or otherwise disclose an intent to propose, or enter into or agree to enter
into, singly or with any other Person or directly or indirectly, (A) any form of business combination, acquisition, or other transaction relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates, (B) any form of restructuring, recapitalization or similar
transaction with respect to the Company or any such Affiliate or (C) any demand, request or proposal to amend, waive or terminate any provision of this Section 3.4 or (ii) make, or in any way participate in, any solicitation of proxies with respect
to any Voting Securities of the Company, become a participant in any election contest with respect to the Company, seek to influence any Person with respect to any Voting Securities or demand a copy of the Company’s list of its shareholders or
other books and records; participate in or encourage the formation of any partnership, syndicate, or other group which owns or seeks or offers to acquire beneficial ownership of any Voting Securities or which seeks to affect control of the Company
or for the purpose of circumventing any provision of this Agreement; or otherwise act, alone or in concert with others (including by providing financing for another Person), to seek or to offer to control or influence, in any manner, the management,
Board or policies of the Company. 
  
 3.5 Proprietary
Information. (a) Executive hereby acknowledges that the Company may from time to time during the Employment Period disclose, to Executive confidential information pertaining to the Company’s business and affairs, technology, research
and development projects and customer and vendor base, including financial information concerning customers and prospective business opportunities. All information and data, whether or not in writing, of a private or confidential nature concerning

upon any termination of Executive’s employment hereunder or any resignation by Executive or upon any earlier request by the Company, without Executive retaining any copies, notes or excerpts thereof.

Executive in connection with the Company’s business operations. 
  
 (e) Executive’s obligations under this Section 3.5 will continue in effect after any termination of his employment hereunder, whatever the reason or reasons for such termination, and the Company will have the
right to communicate with any future or prospective employer of Executive concerning Executive’s continuing obligations under this Section 3.5. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 3.5, Executive may disclose Proprietary
Information as and only to the extent required by action or order of any governmental authority or court, provided Executive notifies the Company of the substance of such disclosure and the reasons therefor at least 10 business days prior to
such disclosure or such lesser period of time as is mandated by such action or order. 
  
 (f) Nothing contained herein shall in any way restrict or impair Executive’s right to use, disclose, or otherwise deal with any
Proprietary Information which: 
  

 12 

	 	(i)	at the time of the disclosure, use or dealing is generally available to the public by publication or otherwise through no breach of any obligation herein occasioned by any act or
omission on the part of Executive; or 

  

	 	(ii)	made available to Executive by a third party who has no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. 

  
 3.6 Certain Matters Relating to Inventions, Etc. (a) All of the following which Executive may conceive,

deliver to the Company any and all documents necessary to obtain patents for the products described in Section 3.6(a), including but not limited to, assignments, affidavits and depositions; all or any of these documents to be used by the Company in
any manner necessary to protect the interest of the Company. 
  
 3.7 Certain Matters Relating to Arbitration and Termination. (a) Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Company will require expeditious review by and relief from a court of equity for any violation by
Executive of this Article III. Accordingly, Executive acknowledges and agrees that disputes arising out of Executive’s failure to comply with this Article III are not subject to Section 5.9. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the provisions of this Article III will survive any termination or resignation of Executive’s employment under this Agreement.

meanings specified below when used in this Agreement with initial capital letters:

 13 

 
functions and responsibilities of Executive’s position after notice from the Company identifying the deficiencies in Executive’s performance or (d)
a breach by Executive of any provision of Article III. 
  
 “Change in Control” means the occurrence of an event where or as a result of which (i) Affiliates of Wasserstein & Co., LP or of Highfields Capital Management LP collectively (A) own, directly or indirectly, less than a
majority of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities and (B) do not have the power through contract or otherwise to elect or appoint a majority of the members of the Board of their own choosing;
(ii) the Company sells or disposes of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person other than an Affiliate of Wasserstein & Co., LP or of Highfields Capital Management LP; or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
liquidation of the Company. 
  
 “Code” means the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
  
 “Disability” means Executive’s inability, with reasonable accommodation, to perform the normal and usual duties of Executive’s position with the Company as determined by a physician mutually acceptable to

Executive’s employment terminates by reason of Executive’s death or Disability or a termination for Cause. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment in Executive’s Base Salary after the Second Anniversary will not in and of itself be

Person to take any action, or fail to take any action, if to do so would violate any applicable law.

Agreement. 
  
 V. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  
 5.1 Death. Should Executive die before all payments (if
any) under Section 2.1 have been made, then such payments will be made, on the due dates hereunder had Executive survived, to the executors or administrators of Executive’s estate. 
  
 5.2 Indemnification. The Company will, the to fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and
hold Executive harmless from and against any expenses, including, reasonable attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, action, lawsuit, or other claim
(whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) which is threatened against him or to which he is made a party by reason of being an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company will advance to
Executive any expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred in connection thereof to the fullest extent permitted by law. Executive will be covered by “director and officer liability insurance” if the Company

Company, its successors and permitted assigns, and Executive, the personal representative of his estate and his heirs and legatees. This Agreement and any rights or obligations hereunder may not be assigned by the Company without Executive’s
prior written consent, and any such purported assignment without such consent will be null and void; provided, however, that the Company may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Company without
Executive’s prior written consent. Executive 

  

 15 

 
will not assign any of his obligations hereunder without the Company’s prior written consent, and any such purported assignment without such consent
will be null and void. 
  
 No right, benefit or
interest of Executive hereunder will be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, hypothecation, or set-off in respect of any claim, debt or obligation, or to execution, attachment, levy or similar process,
or assignment by operation of law. Any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any action specified in the immediately preceding sentence will, to the full extent permitted by law, be null, void and of no effect.

 Any
party hereto may change its address for the purpose of receiving notices, demands and other communications as herein provided by a written notice given in the manner aforesaid to the other party hereto. 
  
 5.5 Governing Document. This Agreement, the Side
Letter dated of even date herewith (the “Side Letter”) and any stock option agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the Company and Executive with respect to the
terms and conditions of Executive’s employment with the Company and the payment of severance benefits and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous written or verbal 

  

 16 

 
agreements and understandings between Executive and the Company relating to such subject matter. Without limiting the foregoing, all rights and benefits of
Executive under the Bear Creek Corporation Severance Pay plan will terminate effective on the Effective Date, and none of the Company and its Affiliates will have any liability or other obligation thereunder to Executive. 
  
 5.6 Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be
amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such amendment, waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company other than Executive. No waiver by either party hereto at
any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party will be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any
prior or subsequent time. 
  
 5.7 Governing
Law. The provisions of this Agreement and the Side Letter will be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements executed and to be wholly performed within the State of New York. If any
provision of this Agreement as applied to any party or to any circumstance should be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity of that provision will in no way affect (to the maximum
extent permissible by law) the application of such provision under circumstances different from those adjudicated by the court, the application of any other provision of this Agreement or the enforceability or invalidity of this Agreement as a
whole. Should any provision of this Agreement become or be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage, then such provision will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to
conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, then such provision will be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement will continue
in full force and effect. 
  
 5.8 Remedies.
All rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement or by law will be cumulative, and no such right or remedy will be exclusive of any other. A party may pursue any one or more rights or remedies hereunder or may seek damages or
specific performance in the event of another party’s breach hereunder or may pursue any other remedy by law or equity, whether or not stated in this Agreement. 
  
 5.9 Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all disputes between Executive
and the Company that arise out of Executive’s employment under the terms of this Agreement will be resolved through final and binding arbitration. This will include, without limitation, disputes relating to this Agreement, Executive’s
employment by the Company or the termination thereof, claims for breach of contract or breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and any claims of discrimination or other claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act, or any other federal, state or local law or regulation now in existence or hereinafter enacted and as amended from time to time
concerning in any way the subject of Executive’s employment with the Company or its termination. The only claims not covered by this Agreement are claims for benefits under the workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance laws, which
will be resolved pursuant to those laws. Binding arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York in accordance with 

  

 17 

 
the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association. The nonprevailing party will pay the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, and
the cost of the arbitrator; each side will bear its own attorneys’ fees, that is, the arbitrator will not have authority to award attorneys’ fees unless a statutory section at issue in the dispute authorizes the award of attorneys’
fees to the prevailing party, in which case the arbitrator has authority to make such award as permitted by the statute in question. Executive understands and agrees that the arbitration will be instead of any civil litigation and that this will
mean that he is waiving his right to a jury trial as to such claims. The parties further understand and agree that the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law and enforceable by any court having
jurisdiction thereof. 
  
 5.10 Withholding.
The Company will deduct and withhold from all amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement any and all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment withholding taxes and any other amounts required to be deducted or withheld by the
Company under applicable statutes, regulations, ordinances or orders governing or requiring the withholding or deduction of amounts otherwise payable as compensation or wages to employees. 
  
 5.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in more than one counterpart, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute but one and the same instrument.

 Executive and the Company desire to settle fully any and all matters between them, including, but not limited to, any

Agreement”), and the termination of Executive’s employment. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, Executive
and the Company agree as follows: 
  
 1. Termination of Employment.
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated effective __________ (“Termination Date”). Executive waives and releases any claim that he has or may have to reemployment with the Company, or any of its parent companies,
subsidiary companies, affiliates, successors or assigns. 
  
 2.
Employment Agreement. The Company will provide severance payments and benefits as provided in the Employment Agreement and comply with its other continuing obligations to Executive under the Agreement. Executive agrees to comply with all

affiliates, successors or assigns, except as expressly provided in the Employment Agreement. 
  
 3. No Authority. Executive agrees that effective on the Termination Date, Executive is no longer authorized to, and will not under any circumstances, incur any expenses, obligations or liabilities on
behalf of the Company. 
  
 4. Protection of Company Property. On or
as soon as practicable after the Termination Date, Executive agrees to deliver to the Company any and all files, memoranda, notes, records, reports, photographs, drawings, plans, papers or other documents (whether paper or electronic), intellectual
property, physical or personal property, obtained or developed by Executive during the course of his employment with the Company. 
  
 5. Release. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into the Employment Agreement and to receive the severance payments and benefits set forth in
the Employment Agreement, Executive hereby forever releases and discharges the Company, its parent, subsidiaries, owners, affiliates, divisions, shareholders, directors, officers, members, partners, business associations, agents, current and former
employees, attorneys, related companies, predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively “Released Parties”), and each of them, of and 

  

 
from any and all charges, complaints, claims or liabilities (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred) of any nature whatsoever, known or
unknown, suspected or unsuspected, including, but not limited to, rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, or any state law tort claim, or any federal, state, or other governmental statute, regulation, or
ordinance, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621-634, which Executive now has or claims to have, or which Executive at any time
heretofore had or claimed to have, or which Executive at any time hereinafter may have or claim to have, against each or any of the Released Parties in connection with or relating to his employment with the Company; provided, however, Executive
specifically does not release any rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act arising after the Effective Date of this Release, any claims to enforce this Release or any claims which Executive is precluded from waiving by operation of law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that any continuing obligations under the Employment Agreement remain in full force and effect. 
  
 6. No Claims. Executive hereby represents and warrants that Executive has not filed any complaints, charges, or lawsuits with any local, state, or federal
agency or court against the Company or any of the Released Parties, and Executive hereby agrees that Executive will not make, or consent to or authorize, any such filing at any time based upon any matter that he released in Paragraph 5 above that
arose on or before the execution of this Release, and that if any such agency or court assumes jurisdiction of any such charge, complaint, or lawsuit against the Company or any of the Released Parties on behalf of Executive, Executive will promptly
request that such agency or court withdraw from the matter.

irrevocable. If Executive does exercise his

	 	•	 	Upon reasonable request, making available to Entrust advice, assistance and information related to your former job duties, including, but not limited to, offering and explaining
evidence and providing sworn statements, deposition testimony and trial testimony as may be deemed necessary by Entrust for the preparation of its position in any legal proceedings(s) involving issues brought against or initiated by Entrust of which
you have knowledge. 

  

	  	In the event it is necessary for you to provide the aforementioned services, you will be entitled to no additional compensation beyond that provided for in this Agreement, except
that Entrust shall reimburse you for authorized, reasonable and documented travel expenses including, but not limited to, transportation, lodging and meals. At the end of the Severance Period your employment relationship with Entrust will be ended
and will not resume. 

  

	3.	During the Severance Period you will not have authority to act on behalf of Entrust, nor bind Entrust, nor to incur any expenses or seek reimbursement for any expense incurred,
without prior written authority. 

  

	4.	(a) Subject to your compliance with the Preconditions, Entrust will continue during the Severance Period to pay your current base salary of $20,000 US per month, Entrust will allow
you to continue to be eligible for those Company-provided benefit and insurance programs in which you are participating as of the date of this letter under the terms of the controlling plans, programs or policies, and Entrust will allow you to
continue to vest in current stock options pursuant to the terms of controlling stock option plans and agreements (collectively the “Severance Benefits”); provided however, that all common stock of Entrust, Inc. granted to you under the
Amended and Restated 1996 

	  	Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (“Common Stock”) shall cease vesting on the End Date pursuant to the terms of your applicable Restricted Stock Agreement(s), and any
unvested Common Stock shall be forfeited. During the Severance Period you will not accrue additional vacation time or other paid time off, nor will you be eligible for any bonuses, nor will you be eligible for salary increases, or new stock option
grants. 

  

	  	(b) Whether you execute this Agreement or not, you will receive compensation in the amount of $7,874.99 on the next regularly scheduled payroll date, which compensates you for 68.25
hours of earned but unused vacation accrued through May 20, 2005. 

  

	  	(c) All amounts to be paid under paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b) shall be subject to legally required and other authorized deductions and withholdings and will be paid at such time and in
such manner as is consistent with the Company’s normal payroll practices. 

  

	5.	You acknowledge and represent that Entrust has provided you a time period of twenty-one (21) calendar days for you to consider the subject matter of this Agreement and that the
Company has advised you to consult with an attorney of your choice prior to signing this Agreement. In addition, the parties agree that you have seven (7) calendar days following the execution of this Agreement to revoke your waiver and release of
claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, but not any other claims, by written notice. For any such revocation to be valid, Mr. Jay Kendry, Vice President, Chief Governance Officer
and Secretary, Entrust, Inc., 16633 North Dallas Parkway, Addison, TX 75001, must receive the letter of revocation not later than the close of business seven (7) calendar days after you sign this Agreement. If you revoke such waiver and release, you
will be deemed to have terminated your employment and you will cease to be employee on the date of revocation, and the Company’s obligations set forth in paragraph 4 shall cease and become null and void. 

  

	6.	All Entrust company provided benefits not expressly extended to you pursuant to this Agreement shall be terminated at 11:59 p.m. on the End Date. Following termination of your
coverage under Entrust’s group health benefit plans, continued health coverage will be offered as required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), for the period required by law.

  

	7.	You shall reconcile and settle, as soon as possible, and in no event later than 45 days after the End Date, any expenses incurred by you in connection with Entrust business for
which you may be entitled to reimbursement. 

  

	8.	You agree that you will not act in any manner that might damage the business of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that you
will make no statement that would disparage Entrust or any director, officer or other employee. You agree that you will not counsel or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances,
claims, charges, or complaints by any non-governmental third party against the Company and/or any officer, director, employee, agent, representative, shareholder or attorney of the Company, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so. You
further agree both to immediately notify the Company upon receipt of any court order, subpoena, or any legal discovery device that seeks or might require the disclosure or production of the existence or terms of this Agreement or the Company’s
confidential information (defined below), and to furnish, within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or legal discovery device to the Company. The Parties also agree not to defame, disparage, libel or slander the other
Party or to tortiously interfere with the contracts and relationships of the other Party. 

  

	9.	You agree that this Agreement is a confidential document as are all the terms and conditions expressed herein. Accordingly, you agree that you will not directly or indirectly
disclose, publicize or discuss this Agreement, including its terms and/or conditions, with any employee and/or former employee of Entrust or any other person except your immediate family members, attorney, accountant, financial advisor, and/or
outplacement advisor, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so. In the event that you discuss this Agreement with any of the aforementioned individuals, it shall be your duty, responsibility and obligation to advise said individual(s)
of the confidential nature of this Agreement and to direct them not to discuss the terms and/or conditions of this Agreement with any other person. This Agreement may be disclosed, in whole or in part, or appended as an exhibit to any securities
filing required to be made by the Company; however, if the Agreement has been appended in any public filing, you shall have no further duty of confidentiality concerning this Agreement, as set forth in this paragraph. 

  

	10.	You hereby agree and acknowledge that: 

  

	 	(a)	during your employment with Entrust you have received and become acquainted with confidential, proprietary, and trade secret information (collectively, “confidential
information”) including, but not limited to, information regarding Company investments, programs, plans, and strategies; capital sources; customer and prospective customers; technical data; business/marketing plans or results; prospect lists;
sales funnels, personnel matters regarding Company employees, officers, and directors; manners of operation and services provided; negotiating positions and strategies; and other information regarding potential strategic alliances and customer
information. You hereby acknowledge that such information has been and will be developed or acquired by the Company through the expenditure of substantial time, effort, and money, that such information provides the Company with strategic and
business advantages over others who do not know or use such information, and that the Company has implemented specific policies and practices to keep such information secret. Accordingly, you agree that during the term of this Agreement and for a
period of one year, you will not directly or indirectly use or disclose any such information obtained through your association with the Entrust, except as expressly authorized by the Entrust in conducting the business of the Company or as required
by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

	 	(b)	the nature of the Entrust confidential information described in the preceding paragraph, and your Senior Vice President position with Entrust, makes it extremely unlikely that, even
using complete good faith, you could provide services in a similar capacity for a competitor of Entrust without drawing upon and utilizing and/or disclosing such information. Accordingly, you agree that during your employment with Entrust (including
throughout the Severance Period), and until the date one (1) year following the Effective Date of this Agreement, you will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, (i) serve as a partner, employee, consultant, officer, director,
manager, agent, associate, investor, or (ii) directly or indirectly, own, purchase, organize or take preparatory steps for the organization of, or (iii) build, design, finance, acquire, lease, operate, manage, invest in, work or consult for or
otherwise affiliate yourself with any of the following businesses: VeriSign, Baltimore, RSA, Netegrity, Certicom, Entegrity, Arcot, Valicert, Computer Associates, Oblix, Access 360, Network Associates, Zixcorp, AOL/Netscape/iPlanet, 2Init,
Tumbleweed and Waveset (“collectively, Competitors”). You acknowledge that your fulfillment of the obligations contained in this provision is necessary to protect the Company’s confidential information and, consequently, to preserve
the value and goodwill of the Company. You further acknowledge the time, Competitor, geographic and scope limitations of this obligation are reasonable, especially in light of the Company’s desire to protect its confidential information, and
that you will not be precluded from gainful employment if you are obligated not to compete with the Company during the period, with the Competitors as described above. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate
covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event the
provisions above are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by Texas law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, then permitted by such law.

  

	 	(c)	any attempt on your part to induce other employees to leave Entrust or any effort to interfere with Entrust’s relationships with its other employees would be harmful and
damaging to Entrust. Accordingly, you agree that for a period of one (1) year following the Effective Date of this Agreement you will not in any way, directly or indirectly, (a) induce, attempt to induce, or assist others in inducing any individual
providing services to Entrust to cease providing such services; (b) otherwise interfere with or disrupt Entrust’s relationship with its employees and contractors; (c) solicit, entice, or hire away any employee or contractor of Entrust; or (d)
hire, engage, or cause to be hired or engaged any current or former employee or contractor of Entrust whose relationship with Entrust ceased less than one year before the date of such hiring or engagement, without written consent of Entrust.

  

	11.	On or before the End Date you shall return to Entrust any and all property of Entrust and/or affiliates currently in your possession and/or subject to your control including, but
not limited to, any and all computer equipment, facsimile machine, credit cards, identification cards, files, memoranda, correspondence, compensation surveys, drawings, designs, financial records, customer lists, personnel files, personnel lists or
the like, whether such materials shall be written instruments or tapes in electronic and/or recorded format. 

  

	12.	You agree that the foregoing consideration represents settlement in full of all outstanding obligations owed to you by the Company. You, on your own behalf, and on behalf of your
respective heirs, family members, executors, and assigns, hereby fully and forever release Entrust and its officers, directors, employees, investors, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor
corporations, and assigns, from, and agree not to sue concerning, any claim, duty, obligation or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that you may possess arising from any
omissions, acts or facts that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement including, without limitation: any and all claims relating to or arising from your employment relationship with the Company and the termination
of that relationship; any and all claims relating to, or arising from, your right to purchase, or actual purchase of shares of stock of the Company, including, without limitation, any claims for fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty,
breach of duty under applicable state corporate law, and securities fraud under any state or federal law; any and all claims under the common law of any jurisdiction applicable to employment relationships including, but not limited to, wrongful
discharge of employment; constructive discharge from employment; termination in violation of public policy; discrimination; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied;
promissory estoppel; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage; unfair business practices; defamation;
libel; slander; negligence; personal injury; assault; battery; invasion of privacy; false imprisonment; and conversion; any and all claims for violation of any federal, state or municipal statute, including, but not limited to, Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; and the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act; any and all claims for violation of the federal, or any state, constitution; any
claim for any loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of any dispute over the non-withholding or other tax treatment of any of the proceeds received by you as a result of this Agreement; and any and all claims for attorneys’ fees and costs.
This Agreement does not interfere with your right to file a charge or participate in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other appropriate agency. 

  
 The Company and you agree that the release set forth in this section shall
be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that any breach of any provision of this
Agreement by you shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Company immediately to (a) cease all remaining Severance Benefits due under the Agreement, and (b) recover the Severance Benefits provided to you under this
Agreement. You shall also be responsible to the Company for all costs, attorneys’ fees and any and all damages incurred by the Company in (a) enforcing the obligation, including the bringing of any suit to recover the monetary consideration,
and (b) defending against a claim or suit brought or pursued by you in violation of this provision. 

	13.	You understand and agree that, in the event of any breach by you of the terms of this Agreement, your right to any further payments or benefits will immediately end. The cessation
of further payments and benefits on account of such breach will not, however, relieve you of your obligations under this Agreement, nor will it limit Entrust’s right to any other relief it may be entitled to seek. 

  

	14.	Entrust releases you from any and all claims, causes of action, losses, obligations, liabilities, damages, judgments, costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees) which arise
out of actions taken by you while employed by the Company and for which you were acting in good faith, and for which you had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful, improper, illegal or fraudulent, including, but not limited to,
claims under federal, state or local law, constitution, statute, ordinance, or regulation. However, Entrust does not release its right to enforce the terms of this Agreement. In the event of a material breach by Entrust, Entrust shall be responsible
to you for all costs, attorneys’ fees and any and all damages incurred by you in (a) enforcing the obligation, including the bringing of any suit to recover the monetary consideration, and (b) defending against a claim or suit brought or
pursued by Entrust in violation of this provision. 

  

	15.	YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT / RELEASE AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND ALL OF ITS TERMS AND EXECUTE IT VOLUNTARILY WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ITS SIGNIFICANCE
AND THE CONSEQUENCES THEREOF. FURTHER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE HAD AN ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND CONSIDER THE TERMS OF THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE, INCLUDING, AT YOUR DISCRETION, THE RIGHT TO DISCUSS THIS DOCUMENT WITH LEGAL
COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE. FINALLY, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU INTEND TO GRANT TO COMPANY A FULL AND FINAL RELEASE AS SET FORTH HEREIN. 

  

	16.	The Parties understand and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of disputed claims. No action taken by the Parties hereto, or either of them,
either previously or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be an admission of the truth or falsity of any claims heretofore made or an acknowledgment or admission by either party of any fault or liability whatsoever to
the other party or to any third party. 

  

	17.	Except as expressly provided to the contrary or as precluded by operation of law, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, you and your heirs,
administrators, representative, executors, successors, and assigns and its enforceability shall not be challenged by such individuals. 

  

	18.	The terms and conditions of this Agreement will be open for your review and consideration through the close of business on June 10, 2005 (“Expiry Date”). If you have not
returned an executed copy of this Agreement by facsimile or an original to Mr. Jay Kendry, at the address referenced in paragraph 5 of this Agreement, by the close of business by or on the Expiry Date, then the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement shall be withdrawn as of that time and date. 

  

	19.	This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, understandings or representations other than
those set forth herein. This Agreement may be modified only with a written instrument duly executed by each of the parties. This agreement supercedes all other agreements or understanding with respect to your employment with respect to the subject
matter hereof. For greater certainty, the Parties hereby agree that the Executive Severance Agreement dated October 15, 2004 is hereby terminated without the survival of any provisions thereof. 

  

	20.	The Parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement, their interpretation, and any of the matters herein released, shall be subject to binding
arbitration in Collin County, Texas before the American Arbitration Association under its Employment Dispute Resolution Rules, or by a judge to be mutually agreed upon. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled
to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The Parties hereby agree to
waive their right to have any dispute between them resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury. This paragraph 19 will not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction
over the parties and the subject matter of their dispute relating to Employee’s obligations under this Agreement and the agreements incorporated herein by reference. 

  

	21.	This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the State of Texas, and it shall be construed, interpreted, governed, and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the State of Texas, without regard to choice of law principles. Any judicial proceeding related to any provision of this Agreement (to the extent permitted under the preceding paragraph) shall be instituted only in courts with venue in the
State of Texas, except that the Company may seek injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction for any claim relating to the alleged misuse or misappropriation of the Company’s trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information.
Subject to the requirements of paragraph 19, you hereby expressly consent to venue and personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Texas for any lawsuit filed there against you by the Company arising from or relating to
this Agreement. 

  

	22.	If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, neither the validity of the remaining parts of such provision
nor the validity of any other provision of this Agreement shall in any way be affected thereby. In 

 lieu of such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision, this Agreement shall be automatically reformed and construed
to include provisions as similar in terms to such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision as may be possible so as to be valid, legal, and enforceable. 
  

	23.	This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile, each of which when executed and delivered (which deliveries may be by facsimile) shall be deemed an original and all
of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, intending to be legally bound, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year as set forth below.
