In the event of the death of an Optionee, the Optionee’s Option must be exercised only by the person or persons to whom the Optionee’s rights under the Option will pass by the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.

• (b) Options for fractional Option Shares resulting from any adjustment in Options pursuant to this Section 8 will be terminated. Any adjustment will be effective and binding on each Optionee for all purposes of the Plan.

9. CHANGE OF CONTROL

In the event of:

• (a) a merger, arrangement, amalgamation, or business combination in which the Corporation is not the surviving Company;

• (b) the Shares being converted into securities of another entity or exchanged for other consideration; or

• (c) an offer for 50% or more of the Shares being made by a third party that constitutes a take-over bid as that term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 62-104 of the Canadian Securities Administrators (“ MI 62-104 ”) or would constitute a take-over bid as that term is defined in the MI 62-104 but for the fact that the offeree is not in British Columbia,

all outstanding Options will immediately vest, provided that the acceleration of vesting provisions required by the Exchange is subject to the prior written consent of the Exchange (as applicable), and provided that if such transaction does not close, all such Options which remain unexercised will be deemed not to have vested.

10. PAYMENT

• (a) Subject as hereinafter provided, the full purchase price for each of the Option Shares will be paid by money wire, certified cheque or bank draft in favour of the Corporation upon exercise thereof. An Optionee will have none of the rights of a shareholder in respect of the Option Shares until the shares are issued to such Optionee.

• (b) Upon exercise of an Option, the Optionee will, upon notification of the amount due and prior to the delivery of the certificates representing the Option Shares, pay to the Corporation by money wire, certified cheque or bank draft, such amount as the Corporation will determine is required to be withheld and remitted to Canada Revenue Agency (the “ CRA ”) to satisfy applicable federal and provincial tax and, if applicable, Canada Pension Plan (“ CPP ”) withholding and remittance requirements, or will make alternative arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation (acting in its sole discretion) in respect of such requirements. Such alternative arrangements for satisfying the withholding and remittance requirements may include, but will not be limited to, the following:

• (i) the Corporation may retain and withhold from any payment of cash due or to become due from the Corporation to the Optionee, whether under this Plan or otherwise, the amount of taxes and, if applicable, CPP contributions, required to be withheld or otherwise deducted and remitted by the Corporation to the CRA in respect of such payment, and will remit the amount so withheld to the CRA, as source deductions withheld by it in respect of the issue of the Option Shares; and

• 9 -

• (ii) the Corporation may deduct from the Option Shares to be issued to the Optionee, a number of Option Shares (the “ Cashed-Out Shares ”) having a market value of not less than the amount of taxes and, if applicable, CPP contributions, required to be withheld or otherwise deducted and remitted by the Corporation to the CRA in respect of such payment and will remit to the CRA the amount (the “ Cash-Out Amount ”) that is equal to the market value of the Cashed-Out Shares, as source deductions withheld by it in respect of the issue of the Option Shares. The Cashed-Out Shares may be retained or sold by the Corporation. In such cases, the Corporation may, at its sole discretion, elect under s. 110(1.1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) not to deduct the Cash-Out Amount in computing its income for any taxation year.

11. SECURITIES LAW AND EXCHANGE REQUIREMENTS

• (a) No Option will be exercisable in whole or in part, nor will the Corporation be obligated to issue any Option Shares pursuant to the exercise of any such Option, if such exercise and issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, constitute a breach of any applicable laws from time to time, or the rules from time to time of the Exchange, as applicable. Each Option will be subject to the further requirement that if at any time the Board determines that the listing or qualification of the Option Shares under any securities legislation or other applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or other regulatory body (including the Exchange, applicable), is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issue of the Option Shares hereunder, such Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.

• (b) By accepting and not returning an Option Certificate within five (5) days of receiving it in connection with a grant of Options, an Optionee is deemed to have expressly consented to the disclosure by the Corporation of personal and other information regarding the Optionee to any governmental or other regulatory body (including the Exchange or such other self-regulatory body or stock exchange having jurisdiction over the Corporation, as applicable). In addition, the Optionee is deemed to have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of personal or other information by such governmental or other regulatory body (including the Exchange or such other self-regulatory body or stock exchange having jurisdiction over the Corporation, as applicable) for such purposes as may be identified by such governmental or other regulatory body, from time to time.

12. EFFECTIVENESS AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

• (a) The Plan will be effective upon the later of:

• (ii) approval of the Board;

• (iii) where necessary, acceptance by the Exchange; and

• (iv) acceptance by any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Corporation’s securities, if required.

• (b) The Board may terminate the Plan at any time provided that the Corporation adopts a new stock option plan. Upon termination of the Plan, previously granted Options will be governed by the provisions of the Corporation’s stock option plan adopted by the Corporation from time to time.

• 10 -

13. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

• (a) The Board may from time to time amend the Plan and the terms and conditions of any Option granted thereunder, provided that any amendment, modification or change to the provisions of the Plan will:

• (i) not adversely alter or impair any Option previously granted, except as permitted by Section 8 or 9;

• (ii) be subject to any regulatory approvals, where required, including, where necessary, the approval of the Exchange;

• (iii) be subject to shareholder approval where required by the rules of the Exchange;

• (iv) not be subject to shareholder approval in circumstances where the amendment, modification or change of the Plan would:

  • (A) be of a “housekeeping nature”, including any amendment to the Plan or an Option that is necessary to comply with applicable laws, tax or accounting provisions or the requirements of any regulatory authority or the Exchange (as applicable), and any amendment to the Plan or an Option to correct or rectify any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission therein, including amendment to any definitions;

  • (B) clarify existing provisions of the Plan that do not have the effect of altering the scope, nature and intent of such provisions;

  • (C) be necessary for the Option to qualify for favourable treatment under applicable tax laws;

  • (D) alter, extend or accelerate any vesting terms or conditions in the Plan or any Option;

  • (E) change any termination provision in the Plan or any Option (for example, relating to termination of employment, resignation, retirement or death) provided that such change does not entail an extension beyond the end of the Option Period; or

  • (F) amend Section 8 or 9 of the Plan;

• (b) Subject to shareholder approval, the Board may from time to time retroactively amend the Plan and, with the consent of the affected Optionee, retroactively amend the terms and conditions of any Options which have previously been granted.

14. UNITED STATES REQUIREMENTS

• (a) No Option will be granted and issued unless the grant and issuance of such Option shall comply with all relevant provisions of applicable United States federal and state securities laws, including the availability of an exemption from registration for the issuance and sale of such Shares. The Company has no obligation to undertake registration under any United States federal or state laws of Options or the Shares issuable upon the exercise of Options.

• 11 -

• (b) As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Board may require the Optionee to make representations and warranties in writing at the time of such exercise in order to establish, to the satisfaction of the Company and its legal counsel, that the Shares to be issued on such exercise may legally be issued in compliance with all applicable United States federal and state securities laws. If required by applicable United States federal and state securities laws, a stop-transfer order against such Shares shall be placed on the share ledger books and records of the Company, and a legend indicating that the Shares may not be pledged, sold or otherwise transferred unless an opinion of counsel is provided stating that such transfer is not in violation of any applicable law or regulation, shall be stamped on the certificates representing such shares. The Board also may require such other documentation as they, in their sole discretion, may from time to time determine to be necessary to comply with United States federal and state securities laws.

• (c) The Option Certificate in respect of the grant of any Options to persons who are U.S. Persons, as that term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S, will include the following statement:

This Option has not been registered under any U.S. federal or state law and may not be exercised except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable U.S. state securities laws, or pursuant to available exemptions from such registration requirements. In addition, shares issued on exercise of this Option by a U.S. resident will bear a U.S. form of restrictive legend and may not be resold except in compliance with such legend.

• (d) No Option granted under the Plan will constitute an Incentive Stock Option as described in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
