Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination for Just Cause or upon the resignation of the Executive without Good Reason, the 60 day period shall be reduced to 30 days and the Executive shall only be entitled to exercise those Options that have vested at the date of such termination and the vesting of Options will not be accelerated in such circumstance. For greater certainty, such Rights include all Time Based and Performance Based Options throughout the Term and for any year in the Term not yet completed shall assume that all performance criteria have been met at the 100% to 105% level and with all completed years being based on the actual performance in such year.

(d)                                                                     Upon a Control Change, the Executive shall automatically be entitled to the severance payments described below:

(i)                                                                                                                                    the Corporation shall pay to the order of the Executive (a) an amount equal to twice the Annual Salary and the Cash Award based on achieving 100 to 105% of the applicable EBITDA and Gross Revenue Budgets and (b) the pro-rated Cash Award for the year in which the Control Change occurs that would be payable based on the actual year to date Gross Revenue and EBITDA performance compared to the year to date agreed upon Gross Revenue and EBITDA Budgets as set forth in the Approved Budget, up to and including the last full calendar month prior to the Control Change;

(ii)                                                                                                                                 the Corporation shall pay to the Executive all outstanding and accrued regular and vacation pay and expenses to the Date of Termination; and

(iii)                                                                                                                              the foregoing payments are payable and to be paid to the Executive upon the date of the Control Change without any obligation on the part of the Executive to mitigate his damages flowing from the termination of his employment.

(e)                                                                      All severance payments in this Article shall be made to the Executive upon the Control Change unless otherwise agreed to with the company or person that has control over the Corporation.

4.4 Termination Claims

Upon any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Corporation in compliance with this Agreement, subject always to the Executive being free to object that his employment was not terminated for Just Cause, or upon any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Executive in compliance with this Agreement, the Executive will have no action, cause of action, claim or demand against the Corporation, any related or associated corporations or any other person under the Ontario Human Rights Code, Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997, Ontario Pay Equity Act, and any other applicable statute or law or the common law which creates rights and obligations as between an employer and employee, and the Executive will be required to sign an appropriate release releasing the Corporation, its subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents from any and all such actions, causes of action, claims and demands.

4.5 Resignation as Director and Officer

Upon any termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the Executive will execute forms of resignation indicating his resignation as a director and officer of the Corporation, if applicable.

ARTICLE 5

CONFIDENTIALITY

5.1 Confidentiality

The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)                                                                   in the course of performing his duties and responsibilities as an officer and director of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, he will have access to and will be entrusted with Confidential Information, the disclosure of any of which to competitors of the Corporation or to the general public, or the use of same by the Executive or any competitor of the Corporation, would be highly detrimental to the interests of the Corporation;

(b)                                                                   in the course of performing his duties and responsibilities for the Corporation and its subsidiaries, the Executive will be a representative of the Corporation to its shareholders, potential investors in the Corporation and service providers and as such will have significant responsibility for maintaining and enhancing the goodwill of the Corporation and its subsidiaries with such persons;

(c)                                                                    the Executive, as a director and an officer of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, owes fiduciary duties to the Corporation and its subsidiaries, including the duty to act in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders; and

(d)                                                                   the right to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, and the right to preserve the goodwill of the Corporation constitute proprietary rights of the Corporation, which the Corporation is entitled to protect.

In acknowledgement of the matters described above and in consideration of the payments to be received by the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive hereby agrees that, in the event that the employment of the Executive with the Corporation is terminated for any reason whatsoever (including termination by the Executive for Good Reason or termination by the Corporation other than for Just Cause), he will not, at any time, directly or indirectly disclose to any person or in any way make use of (other than for the benefit of the Corporation and its subsidiaries), in any manner, any of the Confidential Information.

15

5.2 Disclosure

During the term of employment of the Executive with the Corporation, the Executive shall promptly disclose to the Board full information concerning any interest, direct or indirect, of the Executive (as owner, shareholder, partner, lender or other investor, directors, officer, employee, consultant or otherwise) or any member of his family in any business that is reasonably known to the Executive to purchase or otherwise obtain services, property or products from, or to sell or otherwise provide services, property or products to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or to any of their suppliers.

5.3 Return of Materials

On termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason whatsoever (including termination by the Executive for Good Reason or termination by the Corporation other than for Just Cause), the Executive agrees to deliver promptly to the Corporation all files, forms, books, materials, written correspondence, memoranda, documents, software products and lists of any nature whatsoever pertaining to the business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in the possession of the Executive or directly or indirectly under the control of the Executive and not to make for his personal or business use or that of any other person, reproductions or copies of any such property or other property of the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

5.4 Enforceability

The Executive hereby confirms and agrees that the covenants and restrictions pertaining to the Executive contained in this Agreement, including those contained in this Article 5, are reasonable and valid and hereby further acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation would suffer irreparable injury in the event of any breach by the Executive of his obligations under any such covenant or restriction. Accordingly, the Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that damages would be an inadequate remedy at law in connection with any such breach and that the Corporation shall therefore be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief enjoining and restraining the Executive from any such breach.

ARTICLE 6

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION

6.1 Non-Competition

(a)                                                                                 During the Term, or following the termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, either individually or in partnership or jointly or in conjunction with any person as principal, agent, employee, shareholder (other than a holding of shares listed on a recognized stock exchange that does not exceed 10% of the outstanding shares so listed) or in any other manner whatsoever carry on or be engaged in or be concerned with or interested in or advise, lend money to, guarantee the debts or obligations of or permit his name or any part of his name to be used or employed by any person engaged in or concerned with or interested in within Canada in any Competing Business (as defined below).

16

A “Competing Business” means a business which sells, markets and distributes any product owned or licensed by such business where such product is for the same indication as (i) a product that is owned, licensed, developed or is being developed by the Corporation at the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, or (ii) a product in respect of which the Corporation has signed a letter of intent at the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to which such product is purchased or licensed within one (1) year of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment.

(b)                                                                                 The foregoing restriction shall apply to the Executive:

(i)                                                                                                                                   for a period of two years following the Date of Termination where the Executive’s employment was terminated by the Corporation with Just Cause, due to the Executive’s Disability or by the Executive without Good Reason; and

(ii)                                                                                                                                during such period in respect of which payments are being made to the Executive pursuant to the applicable provision of Section 4.3 of this Agreement where the Executive’s employment was terminated by the Corporation without Just Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, it being understood that, to the extent that the period for which any such payments are being made is less than two years, the Corporation has the option to extend such payments to ensure that the non-competition provisions apply for the entire two year period.

(c)                                                                                  The Executive confirms that all restrictions in Section 6.1(a) are reasonable and valid and that the Executive waives all defences to the strict enforcement of such restrictions by the Corporation.

6.2 Non-Solicitation

(a)                                                                                 The Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, (i) during the Term of this Agreement or (ii) at any time during which the non-competition provisions in Section 6.1 apply to the Executive, either individually, or in partnership, or jointly, or in conjunction with any person as principal, agent, employee or shareholder (other than a holding of shares listed on a recognized stock exchange that does not exceed 10% of the outstanding shares so listed) or in any other manner whatsoever on behalf of the Competing Business or on behalf of anyone involved in a Competing Business, directly or indirectly solicit, or gain the custom of, interfere with or endeavour to entice away from the Corporation any person that:

(i)                                                                                                                                     is a client/customer of the Corporation at the Date of Termination for whatever reason of this Agreement and with whom the Executive dealt during the Executive’s employment;

17

(ii)                                                                                                                                was a client/customer of the Corporation at any time during the last two years of the Executive’s employment at the Corporation and with whom the Executive dealt during the Executive’s employment; or

(iii)                                                                                                                             has been pursued as a prospective client/customer by or on behalf of the Corporation at any time within one year prior to the Date of Termination of this Agreement for whatever reason and in respect of whom the Corporation has not determined to cease all such pursuit;

(iv)                                                                                                                            nor will the Executive interfere with or entice away any person who is an officer or employee of the Corporation at the Date of Termination for whatever reason.

(b)                                                                                 The Executive confirms that all restrictions in Section 6.2(a) are reasonable and valid and that the Executive waives all defences to the strict enforcement of such restrictions in Section 6.2(a) by the Corporation.

(c)                                                                                  Sections 6.2(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) are each separate and distinct covenants, severable one from the other and if any such covenant or covenants are determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will attach only to the covenant or covenants as determined and all other such covenants will continue in full force and effect.

6.3 Breach

Any breach of the provisions of Sections 6.1(a) or 6.2(a) by the Executive will result in material and irreparable harm to the Corporation although it may be difficult for the Corporation to establish the monetary value flowing from such harm. The Executive therefore agrees that the Corporation, in addition to being entitled to the monetary damages which flow from the breach, will be entitled to injunctive relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of Sections 6.1(a) or 6.2(a). In addition, the Corporation will be relieved of any further obligations to make any payments to the Executive or provide him with any benefits as outlined in Section 4.3, except those in Sections 4.3(c)(iii) or 4.3(e)(iii)(B), in the event of a breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of Sections 6.1(a) or 6.2(a).

ARTICLE 7

ARBITRATION

7.1 Submission to Arbitration

The Executive and the Corporation agree that any dispute or controversy in connection with this Agreement, including its interpretation, will be conclusively settled by submission to arbitration (the “Arbitration”) in accordance with the rules of arbitration of the Arbitration Act (Ontario) as amended from time to time. The Arbitration will be conducted in the City of Toronto, Ontario before a single arbitrator mutually agreeable to the parties (the “Arbitrator”). If the Arbitrator cannot be agreed upon then either the Executive or the Corporation may apply to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to appoint an arbitrator. The initial costs of the Arbitrator will be born equally by the parties. The Arbitrator shall have the power to award costs in his or her discretion in making his or her award or decision. Nothing in this clause prohibits the Corporation from seeking injunctive relief in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Executive as referenced in this Agreement. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding and without any right of appeal.
