3.     Termination Within Two Years After a Change of Control.  Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 5(i) hereof, if Employee’s employment by the Company or any subsidiary thereof or successor thereto shall be subject to an Involuntary Termination which occurs within two years after the date upon which a Change of Control occurs, then the Company will, as additional compensation for services rendered to the Company (including its subsidiaries), pay to Employee the following amounts (subject to any applicable payroll or other taxes required to be withheld and any employee benefit premiums) and take the following actions after the last day of Employee’s employment with the Company:

(a)   Pay Employee a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the Severance Amount on the date that is 60 days after the date of Employee’s Involuntary Termination.

5.  General.

(a)  Term.  This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that if the Effective Date has not occurred on or before                     , 2011, then this Agreement shall be void ab initio. Within thirty (30) days after the date that is thirty months after the Effective Date and within thirty (30) days after each successive thirty-month period of time thereafter that this Agreement is in effect, the Company shall have the right to review this Agreement, and in its sole discretion either continue and extend this Agreement, terminate this Agreement, and/or offer Employee a different agreement. The Compensation Committee (excluding any member of the Compensation Committee who is covered by this Agreement or by a similar agreement with the Company) will vote on whether to so extend, terminate, and/or offer Employee a different agreement and will notify Employee of such action within said thirty-day time period mentioned above. This Agreement shall remain in effect until so terminated and/or modified by the Company. Failure of the Compensation Committee to take any action within said thirty days shall be considered as an extension of this Agreement for an additional thirty- month period of time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this “sunset provision,” it is agreed that if a Change of Control occurs while this Agreement is in effect, then this Agreement shall not be subject to termination or modification under this “sunset provision,” and shall remain in force for a period of thirty months after such Change of Control, and if within said thirty months the contingency factors occur which would entitle Employee to the benefits as provided herein, this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms. If, within such thirty months after a Change of Control, the contingency factors that would entitle Employee to said benefits do not occur, thereupon this thirty-month “sunset provision” shall again be applicable with the thirty-day time period for Compensation Committee action to thereafter commence at the expiration of said thirty months after such Change of Control and on each thirty-month anniversary date thereafter.

(b)  Indemnification.  If Employee shall obtain any money judgment or otherwise prevail with respect to any litigation brought by Employee or the Company to enforce or interpret any provision contained herein, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby indemnifies Employee for his reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in such litigation and hereby agrees (i) to pay in full all such fees and disbursements and (ii) to pay prejudgment interest on any money judgment obtained by Employee from the earliest date that payment to him should have been made under this Agreement until such judgment shall have been paid in full, which interest shall be calculated at 10% plus the prime rate of interest for Canadian dollar loans announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch (or any successor thereto), on a non-compounded basis, and shall change when and as any such change in such prime rate shall be announced by such bank.

(c)  Payment Obligations Absolute.  The Company’s obligation to pay (or cause one of its subsidiaries to pay) Employee the amounts and to make the arrangements provided herein shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company (including its subsidiaries) may have against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by the Company (including its subsidiaries hereunder) shall be paid without notice or demand. Employee shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Agreement, and, except as provided in Paragraph 3(b) hereof, the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of the Company’s obligations to make (or cause to be made) the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Agreement.

(d)  Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company, by merger or otherwise. This Agreement shall also be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employee and his estate. If Employee shall die prior to full payment of amounts due pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts shall be payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to his estate.

5

(e)  Severability.  Any provision in this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by reason of applicable law shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating or affecting the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(f)  Non-Alienation.  Employee shall not have any right to pledge, hypothecate, anticipate or assign this Agreement or the rights hereunder, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(g)  Notices.  Any notices or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing. In the case of Employee, such notices or communications shall be effectively delivered if hand-delivered to Employee at his principal place of employment or if sent by registered or certified mail to Employee at the last address he has filed with the Company. In the case of the Company, such notices or communications shall be effectively delivered if sent by registered or certified mail to the Company at its principal executive offices.

(h)  Controlling Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada.

(i)  Release.  As a condition to the receipt of any benefit under Paragraph 3 hereof, Employee shall first execute a release, in the form established by the Company, releasing the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective stockholders, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents from any and all claims and from any and all causes of action of any kind or character, including but not limited to all claims or causes of action arising out of Employee’s employment with the Company or any subsidiary or the termination of such employment. The release described in the preceding sentence must be effective and irrevocable within 55 days after the date of the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company.

(j)  Full Settlement.  If Employee is entitled to and receives the benefits provided hereunder, performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder will constitute full settlement of all claims that Employee might otherwise assert against the Company or any of its subsidiaries on account of the termination of Employee’s employment, whether under contract, common law, statute or otherwise, and Employee shall not have and, subject to receiving the benefits provided hereunder, does hereby waive any entitlement to further or additional severance benefits.

(k)  Unfunded Obligation.  The obligation to pay amounts under this Agreement is an unfunded obligation of the Company (including its subsidiaries), and no such obligation shall create a trust or be deemed to be secured by any pledge or encumbrance on any property of the Company (including its subsidiaries).

(l)  Number and Gender.  Wherever appropriate herein, words used in the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. The masculine gender where appearing herein shall be deemed to include the feminine gender.

Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, all understandings and agreements preceding the date of execution of this Agreement and relating to the subject matter hereof are hereby null and void and of no further force and effect, including, without limitation, all prior Severance Agreements, if any, by and between the Company and Employee. Any modification of this Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by the party to be charged.
