The vesting of the Awards shall be subject to performance metrics to be determined by the Board.

7.4.

Acceleration of Equity: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plans, in the event of a Change of Control followed by (i) the termination of this Agreement by the Company without cause pursuant to Section 8.1, or (ii) the resignation of the Consultant for Good Reason pursuant to Section 8.5, any unvested equity awards granted to the Consultant under the Plans shall immediately vest in full upon the occurrence of such termination or resignation.

7.8.

Taxes and Deductions. The Company and the Consultant acknowledge and agree that all payments by the Company under this Agreement (including the Fee) will not include or be subject to any deductions.

the Company agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Consultant from and against any and all liability for tax, assessment, penalty, interest or any other amount of any kind whatsoever imposed by any non-Canadian governmental authority in any jurisdiction in connection with the provision of the Services, to the extent that such liability arises from taxes that are properly the obligation of the Company, including any non-Canadian withholding taxes imposed on payments made to the Consultant under this Agreement that are required by law to be borne by the payor; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not extend to any taxes, assessments, penalties, interest or other amounts that are the Consultant's own obligation pursuant to Section 7.8 or in respect of which the Consultant is required to indemnify the Company pursuant to this Section 7.9.
