Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans

Stock Option Plan

The Board adopted a stock option plan (the “Plan”) on February 24, 2020. The purpose of the Plan is to: (i) attract and retain directors, officers, employees and consultants and to motivate them to advance the interests of the Company by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through stock options (each, an “Option”) granted under the Plan and (ii) recognize contributions made by eligible persons and to create an incentive for their continuing assistance to the Company and its affiliates. The Plan is administered by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), which has full and final authority with respect to the granting of all Options thereunder.

Under the Plan, the aggregate number of optioned shares that may be issued may not exceed 10% of the number of issued and outstanding Shares at the time of granting of Options.

The Board has the discretion to grant Options pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Options may be granted to eligible persons, being: directors, executive officers, employees or consultants.

Pursuant to the Plan, the exercise price at the time each Option is granted, is subject to the following conditions: (a) if the Shares are listed on a stock exchange, then the exercise price for the Options granted will not be less than the minimum prevailing price permitted by such stock exchange; (b) if the Shares are not listed, posted and trading on any stock exchange or quoted on any quotation system, then the exercise price for the Options granted will be determined by the Board at the time of granting; and (c) in all other cases, the exercise price shall be determined in accordance with the applicable securities laws and policies of any applicable stock exchange.

The Board shall establish the expiry date for each Option at the time such Option is granted, subject to the following conditions: (a) the Option will expire upon the occurrence of any termination event set out in the Plan; and (b) the expiry date cannot be longer than the maximum exercise period as determined by the applicable securities laws and policies of any applicable stock exchange.

All Options granted under the Plan are non-transferable and non-assignable.


4

Options will expire immediately upon the optionee leaving his or her employment/office except that:

(a) in the case of death of an optionee, any vested Options held by the deceased at the date of death will become exercisable by the optionee's estate until the earlier of one year after the date of death and the date of expiration of the term otherwise applicable to such Option;

(b) Options granted to an optionee may be exercised in whole or in part by the optionee for a period of 30 days after the optionee ceases to be employed/provide services but only to the extent that such optionee was vested in the Option at the date the optionee ceased to be employed/provide services; and

(c) in the case of an optionee dismissed from employment/service for cause, such Options, whether vested or not, will immediately terminate without right to exercise same.

As at December 31 2024, there were 1,950,000 Options outstanding under the Plan. A copy of the Plan is attached as Schedule "B" to the Information Circular dated May 31, 2021 and filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

A copy of the Plan is also available free of charge at the office of the Company, 1680 - 355 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2G8, and the registered offices of the Company, at Suite 2501 - 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2B5 during normal business hours.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

The purpose of the long-term incentive plan (the "LTIP") is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of shareholder value by: (i) encouraging the attraction and retention of directors, key employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) encouraging such directors, key employees and consultants to focus on critical long-term objectives; and (iii) promoting greater alignment of the interests of such directors, key employees and consultants with the interests of the Company.

The following is a summary of the LTIP and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the LTIP, a current copy of which is attached as Schedule "C" to the Information Circular dated May 31, 2021 and filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. A copy of the LTIP also is available for review at the offices of the Company at 1680 - 355 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2G8, and the registered offices of the Company, at Suite 2501 - 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2B5 during normal business hours.

Description of the LTIP

The LTIP is available to directors, key employees and consultants of the Company, as determined by the Board. The maximum number of Shares available for issuance under


5

the LTIP in respect of awards, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company (calculated on a non-diluted basis) at the time an Award is granted.

So long as it is required by the rules and policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange or such other exchange upon which the Shares may be come listed for trading, the total number of Shares issuable to persons performing investor relations activities on behalf of the Company pursuant to the LTIP, together with Shares issuable to all persons performing investor relations activities under all of the Company's other security-based compensation arrangements, shall not exceed one (1%) percent of the issued and outstanding Shares in any twelve-month period. Except as otherwise provided in an applicable award agreement or as determined by the Board, neither awards nor any rights under any such awards shall be assignable or transferable other than pursuant to a will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

The LTIP provides for the issuance of restricted share units, performance share units and deferred share units.

Restricted Share Units. The LTIP provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, grant awards of restricted share units (each, an "RSU") to directors, key employees and consultants. Each RSU shall represent one Share on vesting. RSUs shall be subject to such restrictions as the Board may establish in the applicable award agreement. The typical restriction for RSUs is time based (i.e. vesting after a fixed period of time). All RSUs will vest and become payable by the issuance of Shares at the end of the applicable restriction period if all applicable restrictions have lapsed.

Restrictions on any RSUs shall lapse immediately and become fully vested to the participant upon a change of control. Upon the death of a participant, subject to the applicable award agreement, any RSUs that have not vested will be immediately and automatically forfeited and cancelled without action and without any cost or payment, provided that any RSUs granted to such participant that had vested prior to the participant's death will accrue to the participant's estate in accordance with the LTIP. If a participant's employment is terminated for cause, any RSUs granted to the participant will immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled as of the termination date. If a participant's employment is terminated without cause, is voluntarily terminated by the participant or termination is due to the participant's retirement or disability, any RSUs granted to the participant will, subject to the applicable award agreement, immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled as of the termination date, provided, however, that any RSUs granted to such participant that had vested prior to the participant's termination without cause, voluntary termination, retirement or disability will accrue to the participant in accordance with the LTIP. In the case of directors, if a participant ceases to be a director for any reason, subject to the applicable award agreement, all RSUs granted to such participant will immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled, provided, however, that any RSUs granted to such participant that had vested prior to the participant ceasing to be a director will accrue to the participant in accordance with the LTIP. Where a consultant's service to the Company terminates for any reason, subject to the applicable award agreement and any other contractual commitments between the participant and the Company, all RSUs granted to


6

such participant will immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled, provided, however, that any RSUs granted to such participant that had vested prior to the termination of the participant's service to the Company will accrue to the participant in accordance with the LTIP.

Performance Share Units. The LTIP provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, grant awards of performance share units (each, a "PSU") to key employees and consultants. Each PSU shall, contingent upon the attainment of the performance criteria within the applicable performance cycle, represent one Share, unless otherwise specified in the applicable award agreement. The performance criteria will be established by the Board which, without limitation, may include criteria based on the participant's individual performance and/or financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. Typical performance criteria could include gross revenues, EBITDA, share price performance, the attainment of a specified amount of financing or satisfaction of a participant's key performance indicators. The applicable award agreement may provide the Board with the right to revise the performance criteria during a performance cycle or after it has ended, if unforeseen events occur, including, without limitation, changes in capitalization, equity restructuring, acquisitions or divestitures, if such events have a substantial effect on the financial results of the Company and make the application of the performance criteria unfair absent a revision.

All PSUs will vest and become payable to the extent that the performance criteria are satisfied in the sole determination of the Board. PSUs granted to a participant shall become fully vested and payable to such participant within 95 days after the last day of the performance cycle or upon a change of control. Upon the death of a participant, subject to the applicable award agreement, all PSUs granted to the participant which, prior to the participant's death, had not vested, will immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment, provided, however, that the Board may determine, in its discretion, the number of the participant's PSUs that will vest based upon the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied in that portion of the performance cycle that has lapsed. If a participant's employment is terminated for cause, any PSUs granted to the participant will immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled as of the termination date. If a participant's employment is terminated without cause, by voluntary termination, or if the participant's employment terminates due to retirement or disability, all PSUs granted to the participant which, prior to such termination without cause, voluntary termination, retirement or disability, had not vested, will immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment, provided, however, that the Board may determine, in its discretion, the number of the participant's PSUs that will vest based upon the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied in that portion of the performance cycle that has lapsed. Where a consultant's service to the Company terminates for any reason, subject to the applicable award agreement and any other contractual commitments between the participant and the Company, all PSUs granted to such participant will immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment, provided, however, that the Board may determine, in its discretion, the number of the participant's PSUs that will vest based upon the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied in that portion of the performance cycle that has lapsed.


7

Deferred Share Units. The LTIP provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, grant awards of deferred share units (each, a "DSU") to directors in lieu of director fees (but not to key employees or consultants). Directors become participants effective as of the date each is first appointed or elected as a director and cease to be participants at the time they cease to be a director for any reason. The number of DSUs to be granted to a participant shall be calculated by dividing the amount of fees selected by the director by the market price on the grant date. The market price is defined in the LTIP as the five-day weighted average closing price of the Shares on the immediately preceding five trading days prior to the grant date.

Each participant shall be entitled to receive, subsequent to the effective date that the participant ceases to be a director for any reason or any earlier vesting period(s) set forth in the applicable award agreement, either (a) that number of Shares equal to the number of DSUs granted to such participant, or (b) a cash payment in an amount equal to the market price of the DSUs granted to such participant on the trading day following the day that the participant ceases to be a director, net of applicable withholdings, and subject to adjustments if the value of a DSU is determined during applicable black-out periods. Upon the death of a participant, such participant's estate shall be entitled to receive, within 120 days, a cash payment or Shares that would otherwise have been payable upon such participant ceasing to be a director

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

The objectives of the Company’s compensation policies and procedures are to align the interests of the Company’s directors and NEOs with the interests of its shareholders. The Company intends to rely on Board discussion without a formal agenda for objectives, criteria and analysis, when determining compensation for the Company’s directors and NEOs. Compensation is not tied to performance criteria or goals such as milestones, agreements or transactions, and the Company does not use a “peer group” to determine compensation.

At present the Board does not have a compensation committee or a nominating committee. As such, all tasks related to developing and monitoring the Company’s approach with respect to the compensation of the directors and officers of the Company and to developing and monitoring the Company’s approach to the nomination of directors to the Board are performed by the members of the Board. Compensation for the Company’s directors and NEOs is reviewed, recommended and approved by the Board as a whole, including the independent directors. The Company may form a compensation committee which will oversee compensation matters and may also form a nomination committee to oversee the nomination of directors in the future.

Pension Plan Benefits

The Company does not have any pension, defined benefit, defined contribution or deferred compensation plans in place.
