4.1 Termination Without Cause

4.1.1 General. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.1.2, 4.1.3 and 6, if, prior to the expiration of the Employment Term, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company Without Cause, the Company shall pay the Termination Payment to be paid within 30 days of the date of termination and shall continue to pay the Executive the Base Salary and automobile allowance for the remainder of the Employment Term (such period being referred to hereinafter as the “Severance Period”), either at such intervals as the same would have been paid had the Executive remained in the active service of the Company or, at the option of the Company, by immediate payment to the Executive, provided however that the Severance Period shall be a minimum of six (6) months in duration in the normal course and twelve (12) months in duration following a Change of Control. It is understood that the Executive shall also be entitled to receive his Target Bonus during the Severance Period following a termination arising as a result of a Change of Control. For purposes of this agreement, a “Change of Control” of the Company will be deemed to occur if (i) there is a sale of more than 50% of the assets of the Company to a third party (other than to a person or group including Brad Wechsler or Rich Gelfond); or (ii) any person or group (other than a person or group including Brad Wechsler or Rich Gelfond) acquires 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company or the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to any corporate transaction cease to own at least 50% of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the surviving entity. Upon any termination, the Executive shall also be entitled to continue to receive his employment benefits referred to in Section 3.1 at the Company’s expense (to the extent paid for by the Company as at the date of termination) and subject to the consent of the applicable insurers.

The Executive agrees that the Company may deduct from any payment of Base Salary to be made during the Severance Period the benefit plan contributions which are to be made by the

Executive during the Severance Period in accordance with the terms of all benefit plans for the minimum period prescribed by law. The Executive shall have no further right to receive any other compensation or benefits after such termination of employment except as are necessary under the terms of the Executive benefit plans or programs of the Company or as required by applicable law. Payment of the Termination Payment, Base Salary and automobile allowance during the Severance Period and the continuation of the aforementioned Executive benefits during the Severance Period as outlined above shall be deemed to include all termination and severance pay to which the Executive is entitled pursuant to applicable statute law and common law. The date of termination of employment Without Cause shall be the date specified in a written notice of termination to the Executive and does not include the Severance Period.

4.1.2 Fair and Reasonable The parties confirm that notice and pay in lieu of notice provisions contained in Subsection 4.1.1 are fair and reasonable and the parties agree that upon any termination of this Agreement Without Cause, the Executive shall have no action, cause of action, claim or demand against the Company or any other person as a consequence of such termination other than to enforce Section 4.1.1.

4.1.3 Conditions Applicable to the Severance Period. If, during the Severance Period, the Executive breaches his obligations under Article 7 of this Agreement, the Company may, upon written notice to the Executive, terminate the Severance Period and cease to make any further payments or provide further benefits as described in Section 4.1.1.

4.2 Termination for Cause; Resignation. At any time prior to the expiration of the Employment Term the Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company immediately upon notice for Cause.

The Executive shall have no further right to receive any other compensation or benefits after such termination or resignation of employment, except as determined in accordance with the terms of the Executive benefit plans or programs of the Company. The date of termination for Cause shall be the date specified in a written notice of termination to the Executive, which notice shall set forth the basis for the termination. The date of resignation shall be sixty (60) days following the date or receipt of notice of resignation from the Executive to the Company.

4.3 Cause. Termination for “Cause” shall mean termination of the Executive’s employment because of:

	(i)		the cessation of the Executive’s ability to work legally in the United States or Canada other than for reasons not within the Executive’s reasonable control;
	(ii)		any act or omission that constitutes a material breach by the Executive of any of his obligations under this Agreement, which breach has not been remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such breach has been given to the Executive by the Company;
	(iii)		the continued failure or refusal of the Executive to perform the duties reasonably required of him as Chief Financial Officer, which failure or refusal has not been remedied within 30 days after written notice specifying such failure or refusal has been given to the Executive
	(iv)		any material violation by the Executive of any Canadian or United States federal, provincial, state or local law or regulation applicable to the business of the Company, which violation is injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of the Company or the Executive’s conviction of a felony or commission of an indictable offense for which he is not pardoned, or any perpetration by the Executive of a common law fraud;
	(v)		any other action by the Executive which is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of, or is otherwise materially injurious to, the Company, or which results in a violation by the Company of any Canadian or United States federal, provincial, state or local law or regulation applicable to the business of the Company, which violation is injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of the Company.

5. DEATH OR DISABILITY

          In the event of termination of employment by reason of death or Permanent Disability (as hereinafter defined), the Executive (or his estate, as applicable) shall be paid the Termination Payment then due to be paid within 30 days of the date of such termination of employment. Both the employment of the Executive and the entitlement of the Executive to be paid amounts under Section 4.1.1, in respect of the Severance Period, shall terminate immediately and without notice upon his death or upon his Permanent Disability (as hereinafter defined). Any benefits thereafter shall be determined in accordance with the benefit plans maintained by the Company, and the Company shall have no further obligation hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permanent Disability” means a physical or mental disability or infirmity of the Executive that prevents the normal performance of substantially all his duties under this Agreement as an Executive of the Company, which disability or infirmity shall exist for any continuous period of 180 days. The parties agree that such Permanent Disability cannot be accommodated short of undue hardship.

6. MITIGATION

          Subject to Section 7.1 and 7.2, the Executive shall be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in Section 4.1.1 by seeking other employment or remunerative activity reasonably comparable to his duties hereunder. Upon the date of the Executive’s obtaining such other employment or remunerative activity any payment of the remaining portion of the Executive’s Base Salary, and Target Bonus in the event of a termination following a Change of Control, to be made by the Company under Section 4.1.1 will be reduced by a total of one half (1/2). The Executive shall be required as a condition of any payment under Section 4.1.1 (other than the Termination Payment) promptly to disclose to the Company any such mitigation compensation.

7.2 Non-Competition For so long as the Executive is employed by the Company and continuing for a period of two years after the date of the termination of the employment of the Executive with the Company, notwithstanding whether the Executive’s employment is terminated with or Without Cause or whether the Executive resigns, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly anywhere within Canada, the United States, Europe or Asia, as a sole proprietor, member of a partnership, stockholder or investor (other than a stockholder or investor owning not more than a 5% interest), officer or director of a corporation, or as a trustee, Executive, associate, consultant, principal or agent of any person, partnership, corporation or other business organization or entity other than the Company, render any service to or in any way be affiliated with a competitor (or any person or entity that is, at the time the Executive would otherwise commence rendering services to or become, affiliated with such person or entity, reasonably anticipated to become a competitor) of the Company (a “Competitor”), which is engaged or reasonably anticipated to become engaged in designing or supplying large format theatres, designing or distributing projection or sound systems for large format theatres, designing or supplying digital or other electronic film projection systems (regardless of image delivery system used) or sound technology. The Executive confirms that all restrictions in this Section are reasonable and valid and waives all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof.

7.3 Confidentiality. The Executive covenants and agrees that he will not at any time during employment hereunder or thereafter, except in performance of his obligations to the Company hereunder or with the prior written consent of the senior operating officer of the Company, directly or indirectly, disclose or use any secret or confidential information that he may learn or has learned by reason of his association with the Company. The term “confidential information” includes information not previously disclosed to the public or to the trade by the Company’s management, or otherwise in the public domain, with respect to the Company’s products, facilities, applications and methods, trade secrets and other intellectual property, systems, procedures, manuals, confidential reports, product price lists, customer lists, technical information, financial information, business plans, prospects or opportunities, but shall exclude any information which (i) is or becomes available to the public or is generally known in the industry or industries in which the Company operates other than as a result of disclosure by the Executive in violation of his agreements under this Section 7.3 or (ii) the Executive is required to disclose under any applicable laws, regulations or directives of any government agency, tribunal or authority having jurisdiction in the matter or under subpoena or other process of law.

7.4 Exclusive Property. The Executive confirms that all confidential information is and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company.

7.5 Injunctive Relief. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Company, the Executive acknowledges that a material breach of any of the covenants contained in Article 7 will result in material and irreparable injury to the Company for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary, interim or permanent injunction restraining the Executive from engaging in activities prohibited by Article 7 or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in Article 7. The Executive waives any defences to the strict enforcement by the Company of the covenants contained in Article 7. If for any reason it is held that the restrictions under Article 7 are not reasonable or that consideration therefor is inadequate, such restrictions shall be interpreted or modified to include as much of the duration and scope identified in Article 7 as will render such restrictions valid and enforceable.

7.6 Representation. The Executive represents and warrants that he is not subject to any non-competition covenant or any other agreement with any party which would in any manner restrict or limit his ability to render the services required of him hereunder.
