The cost of soliciting proxies in connection with the Meeting will be borne directly by the Corporation.

The board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board") has fixed the close of business on May 15, 2023 as the Record Date, being the date for the determination of the registered shareholders (the "Registered Shareholders") entitled to receive notice of, and to vote.

(Attention: Proxy Department), 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, fax number 1-866-249-7775, not later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 26, 2023, subject to adjournments or postponements of the date or time set for the Meeting.

Appointment of Proxies

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers and/or directors of the Corporation. A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person, other than the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy, to attend and act for them on their behalf at the Meeting. To exercise this right, a shareholder must insert such person's name in the blank space provided in the enclosed form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, depositing the completed and executed proxy at the offices of Computershare Investor Services Inc., at the address provided herein, not later than the Proxy Deadline.

A Shareholder forwarding the enclosed form of proxy may indicate the manner in which the appointee is to vote with respect to any specific item by checking the appropriate space. If the Shareholder giving the proxy wishes to confer a discretionary authority with respect to any item of business, then the space opposite the item is to be left blank. The Shares represented by the form of proxy submitted by a Shareholder will be voted in accordance with the directions, if any, given in the form of proxy. To be valid, a form of proxy must be executed by a Shareholder or a Shareholder's attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a body corporate, under its corporate seal or, by a duly authorized officer or attorney.

Voting of Proxies

The Shares represented by the accompanying form of proxy (if properly executed and received at the offices of Computershare Investor Services Inc. at the address provided herein, not later than the Proxy Deadline), will be voted at the Meeting and, where a choice is specified in respect of any matter to be acted upon, will be voted or withheld from voting or voted in favour or against, as applicable, in accordance with the specification made on any ballot that may be called for. In the absence of such specification, proxies in favour of management will be voted in favour of the resolutions described below. The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this Circular, management knows of no such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if anyother matters that are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the form of proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.

Revocation of Proxies

A proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked at any time prior to its use. A Shareholder who has given

a proxy may revoke the proxy by: (a) completing and signing a proxy bearing a later date and depositing it at the offices of Computershare Investor Services Inc. (Attention: Proxy Department), 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, fax number 1-866-249-7775; (b) depositing an instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder's attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a body corporate, under its corporate seal or, by a duly authorized officer or attorney either with Computershare Investor Services Inc. (Attention: Proxy Department), 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, fax number 1-866-249- 7775, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof or with the Chairman of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof; or (c) in any other manner permitted by law. Such instrument will not be effective in respect to any matter on which a vote has already been cast pursuant to such proxy.

Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders

Only Registered Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders are "non-registered" Shareholders ("Non-Registered Shareholders") because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name ofthe brokerage firm, bank, ortrust company through which they purchased the Shares.Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary ("Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Shares; or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS") of which the Intermediary is a participant. Non-registered shareholders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain beneficial ownership information about themselves to the Corporation are referred to as "NOBOs". Nonregistered shareholders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing the ownership information about themselves to the Corporation are referred to as "OBOs". National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators permits the Corporation to send copies of the Circular and the accompanying Notice of Meeting together with the form of proxy (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") directly to the NOBOs. In accordance with National Instrument 54-101, the Corporation has elected to send the Meeting Materials directly to NOBOs and has distributed copies of the Meeting Materials to Intermediaries for distribution to OBOs. The Corporation will pay for an Intermediary to deliver the Meeting Materials to non-registered shareholders who are OBOs, including a voting instruction form (as described further below).

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either: (a) be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a "voting instruction form") which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the voting instruction form will consist of a one-page pre-printed form. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") in Canada. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to Non-Registered Shareholders and asks Non-Registered Shareholders to return the forms to Broadridge or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the Internet or telephone, for example). Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of the shares to be represented at the Meeting. Sometimes, the voting instruction form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions which contains a removable label with a barcode and other information. In order for this form of proxy to validly constitute a voting instruction form, the Non-Registered Shareholder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company. A Non-Registered Shareholder who receives a voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote his, her or its Shares at the Meeting; or (b) be given a form of proxy which has already beensigned by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder, but which is otherwise not completed by the Intermediary. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by theNon-Registered Shareholder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes tosubmit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with Computershare Investor Services Inc.(Attention: Proxy Department), 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, fax: 1-866- 249-7775.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the

Shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at this Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the persons named in the voting instruction form and insert the Non-Registered Shareholder or such other person's name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Shareholders should follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the voting instruction form is to be delivered. A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a voting instruction form or a waiver of the right to receive Meeting Materials and to vote which has been given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary provided that an Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a voting instruction form or of a waiver of the right to receive Meeting Materials and to vote, which is not received by the Intermediary at least seven (7) days prior to the Meeting.

Vikas Ranjan, the President and a director of the Corporation, and Yongbiao (Winfield) Ding, the Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Corporation, are parties to the transaction to be approved by the Shareholders under the Debt to Equity Conversion Resolution (as more particularly described below) at the Meeting.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE STOCK OPTION PLAN RESOLUTION.

Unless otherwise directed, it is the intention of the management designees to vote proxies in the accompanying form FOR the Stock Option Plan Resolution.

Approval

The Stock Option Plan Resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders present at the Meeting in person or by proxy in order to become effective.

E. APPROVAL OF DEBT TO EQUITY CONVERSION

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution (the "Debt to Equity Conversion Resolution"), to authorize the proposed conversion of certain existing debt for Shares of the Corporation at \$0.05 per Share.

Over the past several years, the Corporation has been primarily financed by shareholder loans, and incurred outstanding debts to certain creditors and service providers. Recognizing the Corporation's ongoing need for working capital and financial resources while conserving capital and improving the Corporation's balance sheet, the Corporation and certain debtholders have agreed to convert approximately \$211,994 of certain existing debt for up to 4,239,880 Shares at \$0.05 per Share (the "Debt to Equity Conversion"). The Corporation expects to close the Debt to Equity Conversion upon approval of the Shareholders and the CSE. All of the Shares issuable in connection with the Debt to Equity Conversion will be subject to a hold period ending four months and one day after the closing date.

Certain related party of the Corporation are expected to participate in the Debt to Equity Conversion, including:

(a) Mr. Vikas Ranjan, the President and a director of the Corporation: For the past years, Mr. Ranjan has been funding the Corporation by making loans to the Corporation to pay operating expenses, including legal and audit expenses. In addition, Mr. Ranjan has been providing management and consulting services for the Corporation. As of the date of this Circular, the Corporation owes more than \$126,594 to Mr. Ranjan (the "Ranjan Indebtedness"). As part of the Debt to Equity Conversion, Mr. Ranjan will convert \$100,000 of the Ranjan Indebtedness into 2,000,000 Shares at \$0.05 per Share (the "Ranjan Debt to Equity Conversion"). Mr. Ranjan currently holds approximately 14.05% of the Shares of the Corporation. Upon completion of the Debt to Equity Conversion Mr. Ranjan will beneficially own or have control and direction over approximately 33.71% of the Shares of the Corporation; and

(b) Mr. Winfield Ding, the Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Corporation: For the past years, Oriental Sources Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Ding, has been providing management and consulting services for the Corporation. As of the date of this Circular, the Corporation owes more than \$120,345 to Oriental Sources Inc. (the "Ding Indebtedness"). As part of the Debt to Equity Conversion, Oriental Sources Inc. will convert \$60,000 of the Ding Indebtedness into 1,200,000 Shares at \$0.05 per Share (the "Ding Debt to Equity Conversion"). Mr. Ding currently does not hold any Shares of the Corporation. Upon completion of the Debt to Equity Conversion Mr. Ding will beneficially own or have control and direction over approximately 16.80% of the Shares of the Corporation.

The Ranjan Debt to Equity Conversion and the Ding Debt to Equity Conversion constitute "related party transaction" as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") under applicable securities laws (the "Related Party Transactions") due to the fact that each of Mr. Ranjan and Mr. Ding is a director and officer of the Corporation. Pursuant to MI 61-101, the Related Party Transactions require the approval of a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders present at the Meeting excluding interested or related parties.

While the Related Party Transactions constitute "related party transaction" under MI 61-101, it is not subject to the requirement to obtain a formal valuation. The Corporation is relying on exemptions from the MI 61-101 formal valuation as the Shares are not listed on are not listed on any of the "specified markets" in Section 5.5 of MI 61-101. There were no prior valuations in respect of the Corporation that relate to or are otherwise relevant to the Related Party Transactions.

The Ranjan Debt to Equity Conversion will "materially affect control" of the Corporation as such term is defined by policies of the CSE due to the fact that Mr. Ranjan will hold more than 20% of the voting securities of the Corporation upon completion of the Debt to Equity Conversion. Pursuant to the policies of the CSE, the Ranjan Debt to Equity Conversion require the approval of a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders present at the Meeting.

The number of Shares issuable in the Debt to Equity Conversion is more than 50% of the total number of Shares of the Corporation outstanding (calculated on a non-diluted basis) accompanied by a new "control person" (as such term is defined in the policies of the CSE) or 100% of the total number Shares outstanding. Accordingly, the Debt to Equity Conversion shall be approved by the Shareholders pursuant to the policies of the CSE.

The Debt to Equity Conversion constitutes a "private placement" as such term is defined by the policies of the CSE. Since the Corporation has been designated inactive by the CSE, the Debt to Equity Conversion shall be approved by the CSE prior to closing pursuant to the policies of the CSE. The Debt to Equity Conversion has been conditionally approved by the CSE, subject to minority shareholder approval.

The Board unanimously approved the Debt to Equity Conversion (with Mr. Ranjan and Mr. Ding (i) having declared and fully disclosed the nature and extent of their interests, (ii) having refrained from attending or participating in that part of the meeting in which the proposed transaction was discussed, and (iii) having not voted thereon) on May 22, 2023.

Resolution to Approve the Debt to Equity Conversion

Shareholders are being asked to pass the following Debt to Equity Conversion Resolution:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT, as an ordinary resolution of the disinterested shareholders that:

    1. the Corporation be and is hereby authorized to issue up to an aggregate of 4,239,880 Common Shares of the Corporation, in lieu of up to an aggregate of \$211,994 of cash consideration in settlement of debts at a rate of \$0.05 per Common Share, including, inter alia, the following related party transactions:
  • (a) the issuance to Vikas Ranjan, at such time as the directors of the Corporation may, in their sole

  • (b) the issuance to Oriental Sources Inc., at such time as the directors of the Corporation may, in their sole discretion determine, up to an aggregate of 1,200,000 Common Shares of the Corporation, in lieu of up to an aggregate of \$60,000 of cash consideration in settlement of debts at a rate of \$0.05 per Common Share;
    1. any one director or officer of the Corporation be and they are hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute and deliver all documents and instruments and take such other actions as such director or officer may determine to be necessary or desirable to implement this ordinary resolution and the matters authorized hereby, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of any such documents or instruments and the taking of any such actions; and
    1. notwithstanding that this ordinary resolution has been duly passed by shareholders of the Corporation, the directors are hereby authorized in their sole discretion to revoke this ordinary resolution before it is acted on without further approval of the shareholders.".

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE DEBT TO EQUITY CONVERSION RESOLUTION.

Unless otherwise directed, it is the intention of the management designees to vote proxies in the accompanying form FOR the Debt to Equity Conversion Resolution.

Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities

As of December 31, 2022, no compensation securities were granted or issued to any of the NEOs or directors of the Corporation. There are no outstanding compensation securities as at December 31, 2022.

Stock Option Plan and other Incentive Plans

The Corporation implemented a new stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan") which was adopted by the Board on February 9, 2018 and approved by Shareholders on April 5, 2018, replacing its 2012 Stock Option Plan.

Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, the Board may, from time to time and at its discretion, grant to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation (the "Beneficiaries") options to acquire Shares of the Corporation for a maximum of 10% of the number of outstanding Shares of the Corporation at the time of the grant.

Options are not transferable and subject to any accelerated termination as set forth in the Stock Option Plan, options must expire no later than ten years after the date of grant or such lesser period as applicable regulatory authorities or applicable law may require. The vesting of each option, if any, shall be determined by the Board. The exercise price per Share is fixed by the Board but cannot be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares, defined to be (a) in the event the Shares are not listed or quoted for trading on any stock exchange or quotation system, an amount, determinedby the Board in its sole discretion, to be reflective of the cash price which would be obtained as at the relevant date if the Shares which are the subject of a transaction of purchase and sale were sold without compulsion to a willing and knowledgeable purchaser acting at arm's length (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)); or (b) the greater of the closing market price of such Shares on the CSE (i) the trading day prior to the date of grant of the Option, and (ii) the date of grant of the Option. Options granted to a Beneficiary who is no longer eligible under the 2012 Stock Option Plan will expire three months following the date such person ceases to be a Beneficiary for the purposes of the 2012 Stock Option Plan.

The number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan to any one person may not exceed 2% of the aggregate issued and outstanding Shares (calculated as at the time of grant of such option) in any 12-month period unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained. No consultant nor any employee conducting investor relations activities may be granted options to acquire more than 2% of the issued and outstanding Shares (calculated as at the time of grant of such option) in any 12-month period.

Options are not transferable except by will or the laws of succession and distribution. If the optionholder (a) dies, or (b) ceases to be eligible under the Plan (for any reason other than termination without cause or resignation or failure to be re-elected as a Director or termination for cause), then generally, options that are entitled to be exercised may be

exercised (subject to certain entitlements to exercise options at the discretion of the Board) until the earlier of (i) 180 days, respectively, of the applicable date, or (ii) the expiry date of the option, provided that any options granted to such optionee that were not exercisable at the date of the applicable date shall immediately expire and be cancelled on such date. In the event where the optionholder is terminated without cause, resigns or fails to be re-elected as a Director, then generally, options that are entitled to be exercised may be exercised (subject to certain entitlements to exercise options at the discretion of the Board) until the earlier of (i) 90 days, respectively, of the applicable date, or (ii) the expiry date of the option, provided that any options granted to such optionee that were not exercisable at the date of the applicable date shall immediately expire and be cancelled on such date. Where an optionholder isterminated for cause, all options granted to such optionholder, whether or not exercisable at the applicable date, shall immediately expire and be cancelled on such date contemporaneously with such termination.

If the Corporation or its Shareholders receive and accept an offer to acquire all of the Shares or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (the "Sale Transaction"), the Plan Committee may, in its sole discretion, deal with the options issued under the Plan in the manner it deems fair and reasonable, including accelerating the expiry date of the options, providing for cash compensation or exchanging options for options to acquire shares in the capital of the acquirer or resulting corporation in connection with the Sale Transaction.

In the event that (a) the Corporation accepts an offer to amalgamate, merge or consolidate with any other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary) or in the event that holders of greater than 50% of the Corporation's outstanding Shares accept an offer made to all or substantially all of the holders of the Shares of the Corporation to purchase in excess of 50.1% of the current issued and outstanding Shares, or (b) the sale by the Corporation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, either as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, so that the Corporation shall cease to operate as an active business, the Board may, in its discretion accelerate the vesting of all unvested options. Each optionholder shall thereafter be entitled to exercise all of such options at any time up to and including, but not after the earlier of: (i) the close of business on that date which is 30 days following the date of acceptance by the Corporation of such transaction; and (ii) the close of business on the expiration date of the option.

The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate any provision of the Stock Option Plan in accordance with applicable law and subject to obtaining any necessary approval of the applicable regulatory authorities, provided that any such amendment, suspension or termination shall not alter or impair any options, or any rights related to options previously granted to an optionee under the Stock Option Plan, without its consent.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may, from time to time, delegate to a committee (the "Plan Committee") of the Board all or any of the powers conferred on the Board under the Stock Option Plan. In such event, the Plan Committee will exercise the powers delegated to it by the Board in the manner and on the terms authorized by the Board. Any decision made or action taken by the Plan Committee arising out of or in connection with the administration or interpretation of the Plan in this context is final and conclusive.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

Mr. Ranjan has a consulting agreement in place with the Corporation, whereby he is entitled to a base compensation of \$78,000 per annum plus a discretionary bonus to be determined by the Board. The accrual of the Mr. Ranjan's base compensation under such consulting agreement was discontinued effective July 2022.

Mr. Ding has a consulting agreement in place with the Corporation, whereby he is entitled to a base compensation of \$48,000 per annum plus a discretionary bonus.

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

The Corporation does not have any contract, agreement or plan or arrangement that provides for payments to a NEO at, following or in connection with any termination (whether voluntary, involuntary or constructive), resignation, a change in control of the Corporation or a change in the NEO's responsibilities.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

Directors

Each of the non-employee directors of the Corporation is currently not receiving compensation on serving as a member of the Board. Non-employee Directors are reimbursed for all reasonable travel and ancillary expenses. Directors who are also officers of the Corporation are not entitled to any compensation for their services as a director.

Named Executive Officers

The Board has overall responsibility for determining and implementing the Corporation's philosophy with respect to executive compensation. The Board makes all compensation decisions for the NEOs, which currently consists of basecash compensation. The base cash compensation for each NEO is based on the position held, the individual's demonstrated ability to perform the role, skill requirements, level of responsibility and market value of the role. The base cash compensation review of each NEO takes into consideration the current competitive market conditions, experience, proven or expected performance, and the particular skills of the NEO. Base compensation is not evaluatedagainst a "peer group" and the Corporation does not use benchmarking or performance goals in determining executive compensation. The Corporation has not retained compensation consultants to advise on executive compensation but instead relies on the general experience of its members in setting base compensation amounts. The Corporation does not anticipate making any significant changes to its compensation policies and practices in the next financial year.

Pension Disclosure

The Corporation does not have any pension plans.

Other than as previously disclosed in this Circular, no informed persons of the Corporation, any proposed director of the Corporation, or any associate or affiliate of anyinformed person or proposed director has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the beginningof the Corporation's most recently completed financial year, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

None of the management functions of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries are to any substantial degree performed other than by the directors or executive officers of the Corporation or a subsidiary.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices and National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines set out a series of guidelines for effective corporate governance. The guidelines address matters such as the composition and independence of corporate boards, the functions to be performed by boards and their committees, and the effectiveness and education of board members. Each reporting issuer, such as the Corporation, must disclose on an annual basis and in prescribed form, the corporate governance practices that it has adopted. The following is the Corporation's required annual disclosure of its corporate governance practices.

Board of Directors

Currently, one of the Corporation's four Board members is an individual who qualifies as independent. Notwithstanding that Mr. Xing's share ownership exceeds 10%, Mr. Xing is deemed independent since in the Board's opinion, he is unrelated to management and free of all interests, business dealings or other relationships, which could or could conceivably be perceived as being able to significantly interfere with the ability of such directors to act in the best interests of the Corporation, other than the interest and relationship that arises from stock ownership. Mr. Karamadam, Mr. Ranjan and Mr. Ding are deemed directors who are "not independent" since they are part of the senior management of the Corporation. The Corporation continues to search for one or more qualified independent directors to add to its board following the Meeting.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The directors keep up to date and receive copies of all the necessary and latest information during meetings of the Board or the Audit Committee. In addition, all directors have an office, or access to an office, at the Corporation's primary place of business allowing them to remain up to date on the Corporation's events. On account of the limited number of directors and the venture nature of the Corporation, no formal training system has been created.

Board Diversity

The Corporation does not currently have a formal diversity policy in place regarding gender representation on the Board or in executive officer positions. The Corporation believes in retaining the most qualified candidate for any position irrespective of gender, and recruitment efforts will continue to be governed by the principles set forth below.

The Corporation is committed to upholding the principles of equity, inclusivity, and affirmative action in accordance

with all applicable federal and provincial laws and guidelines, refraining from discrimination based on factors such as race, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, gender, age, or mental or physical disability. The retention of directors and officers is grounded in their relevant experience, education, skills, and potential to contribute to the Corporation's success, while also actively seeking to ensure a diverse and representative workforce. Moreover, the Board assesses candidates for directorship based on their independence, qualifications, and other attributes deemed necessary for effective operation, while also valuing the advantages of a diverse composition and promoting equal opportunity. Candidates for Board membership, selected for nomination by the Board or any designated committee, will be presented to shareholders for consideration without any form of discrimination.

Currently, four of four, or 100 per cent of the Board is composed of members of visible minorities. There are no persons with disabilities or Aboriginal peoples or female serving on the Board. After the Meeting, if all the nominated directors are elected, four of four, or 100 per cent of the Board is composed of members of visible minorities, and there will not be persons with disabilities or Aboriginal peoples or female serving on the Board.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board acknowledges that it shall take on the responsibility of overseeing the competent and ethical operation of the Corporation. In order to guarantee that the directors exercise their judgment in an independent fashion when examining operations and contracts in which a director or a member of senior management has a significant interest, such transactions shall be reviewed and approved only by directors assembled together in a committee of the Board, where the director who has such an interest shall refrain from participating in the discussions and from voting on the matter. In addition, the Corporation shall take steps to ensure that directors do not undertake any transactions involving the Corporation's stock when important information is about to be communicated.

Nomination of Directors and Compensation

The President of the Corporation will propose qualified candidates to fill vacant positions on the Board. In order to determine the compensation of the directors, the Board shall notably take into account the contribution made by the directors to the Corporation.

Board Committees

There is one committee of the Board, the Audit Committee.

Assessments

Given the small size of the Corporation, it has limited human and financial resources, the Board, as a whole, is not subject to a formal evaluation. The members of the Board can always freely express their opinion and suggest changes if the contribution of a member is judged unsatisfactory.

SCHEDULE "A"

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Purpose

The audit committee is a standing committee of the board of directors. Its primary duty is to assist the board of directors in fulfilling its supervisory role with regard to the following:

    1. The completeness of the consolidated financial statements and the information provided to shareholders and to other persons concerned.
    1. The Corporation's compliance with financial regulatory requirements.
    1. The accuracy and effectiveness of the internal control mechanisms implemented and maintained by management.
    1. The competency, independence and performance of the external auditor who must report to the audit committee, to the board of directors and to the shareholders.

Composition

The audit committee is comprised of at least three directors, including one chairman, who are named by the board of directors every year after the annual meeting. The majority of the committee members must not be officers or other employees of the Corporation or of an affiliate.

Each committee member must meet the requirements in matters of independence, financial knowledge and experience, the requirements of the applicable laws that govern the Corporation and the rules of the Stock Exchanges on which the Corporation's shares are listed as well as the requirements of competent securities authorities.

The board of directors may, at any time, terminate a committee member's duties or replace him or her and it must fill vacant positions on the committee.

Structure and functioning

The chairman of the board, the chairman of the committee or two members of the committee may call a committee meeting at any time. The committee meets as required but not less than four times per year. Quorum is reached where two members are present at committee meetings, irrespective of their status, and the composition thereof must comply with the requirements of the Canada Business Corporations Act.

The chairman of the committee, in cooperation with the chairman of the board, draws up the agenda for each committee meeting taking into account the items appearing in the committee's activity program which is approved each year by the board of directors. At each meeting, the committee may also sit privately with only the committee members in attendance.

The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any agreement relating thereto in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary to effectuate the purpose and intent of the Plan. The Committee may adopt special guidelines and provisions for Persons who are residing in, or subject to, the taxes of, any jurisdiction outside of Canada (including, without limitation, countries, states, provinces and localities) to comply with applicable tax, and securities and other laws and may impose any limitations and restrictions that it deems necessary to comply with the applicable tax, securities and other laws of such jurisdiction outside of Canada.

The day-to-day administration of the Plan may be delegated to such officers and employees of the Corporation or of an Affiliated Corporation as the Board may in its sole discretion determine.

(c) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Board may, from time to time, delegate to a committee (the "Committee") of the Board all or any of the powers conferred on the Board under the Plan.

3.3 Eligibility

Participation in the Plan shall be limited to Eligible Persons. Participation shall be voluntary and the extent to which any Eligible Person shall be entitled to participate in the Plan shall be, subject to the terms of the Plan and Applicable Law, determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board.

4.3 Term of Options

Subject to any accelerated termination as set forth in the Plan, Options must expire no later than ten (10) years after the Date of Grant or such lesser period as applicable regulatory authorities or Applicable Law may require.

4.4 Vesting of Options

(a) The Board may determine, in its sole discretion, in respect of an Option, when an Option will become exercisable and the extent to which an Option will vest or will be exercisable in instalments (the "Vesting Schedule") and such Vesting Schedule shall be set forth in the applicable Option Agreement. For example, the Board may, in its sole discretion, provide that the vesting of an Option be dependent on the passage of time and/or on the achievement of specified milestones or thresholds. Options will generally vest and therefore be exercisable as to one-third of the Shares under such Option on each of the first, second and third year anniversary of the Date of Grant of the Option. The Board may accelerate the date upon which an Option or any instalment thereof becomes exercisable.

(b) Once a portion of an Option vests and becomes exercisable, it shall remain exercisable until expiration or termination of such Option in accordance with, among other sections, Section 4.6, unless otherwise specified by the Board in connection with the grant of such Option.

4.5 Option Agreements

Each Option must be confirmed by an agreement (an "Option Agreement"), in the form of the option agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (as may be amended by the Board from time to time, and with such changes thereto as may be necessary for any particular Option to a particular Optionee), signed by the Corporation and by the Optionee.

4.6 Exercise of Option

  • (a) Each Option grant or any part thereof may be exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, for up to the total number of Shares with respect to which it is then exercisable.
  • (b) In order to exercise an Option, an Optionee shall deliver to the Corporation at its registered office (or other office designated in writing by the Corporation to the Optionee), a completed Notice of Exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B". Such notice shall specify the number of Shares the Optionee desires to purchase and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price for such Shares. Subject to the provisions of the immediately following sentence, payment may be made by bank draft or certified cheque payable to the order of the Corporation at the time of exercise. Upon receipt of payment in full, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised will be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable.

4.7 Misconduct of Optionee

In the event that the Board determines in good faith that an Optionee has:

  • (b) materially breached any contract with or materially violated any fiduciary obligation to the Corporation or become involved with a competitor of the Corporation; or
  • (c) engaged in any illegal insider trading or other unlawful activity in relation to the Corporation;

then, effective as of the date notice of such misconduct is given by the Corporation to such Optionee, any further rights to exercise the Options granted to such Optionee shall be forfeited, unless the Board shall determine otherwise.

4.8 Prohibition on Transfer of Options and Shares

  • (a) An Option is personal to the Optionee and is non-assignable and non-transferable, and subject to Section 4.9, such Option shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee to which such Option has been granted. No Optionee may deal with any Option or any interest in it now or hereafter held by the Optionee except in accordance with the Plan. A purported transfer of any Option will not be valid and the Corporation will not be required to issue any Shares upon the attempted exercise thereof.
  • (b) Shares issued upon exercise of Options are subject to transfer and resale restrictions pursuant to the constating documents of the Corporation, any existing shareholders agreement and Applicable Law. The Optionee is responsible for obtaining such legal advice as may be appropriate in connection with any transfer or resale of Options and Shares issued upon the exercise thereof.

  • If,
  • (a) an Employee Optionee or an Executive Optionee dies or becomes Disabled while an employee, director or officer of the Corporation or an Affiliated Corporation, as the case may be;
  • (b) a Consultant Optionee's consulting agreement or arrangement with the Corporation or an Affiliated Corporation, as the case may be, is terminated by reason of the death or Disability of such Optionee; or
  • (c) the employment or term of office of an Employee Optionee or an Executive Optionee with the Corporation or an Affiliated Corporation, as the case may be, terminates due to Retirement,

then

(d) the executor, administrator or other legal representative of such Optionee's estate or such Optionee, as the case may be, may exercise any Options granted to such Optionee to the extent that such Options were exercisable

at the date of such death, Disability or Retirement and the right to exercise such Options shall terminate on the earlier of:

  • (i) the date that is 180 days from the date of such Optionee's death, Disability or Retirement; and
  • (ii) the date of expiration specified in the Option Agreement or in the resolution of the Board granting such Option, as the case may be,

provided that any Options granted to such Optionee that were not exercisable at the date of the death, Disability or Retirement shall immediately expire and be cancelled on such date; and

then any Options granted to such Optionee that are exercisable at the Termination Date shall continue to be exercisable until the earlier of: (A) the date that is 90 days following the Termination Date (which date may be extended by the Board at any time prior to the Termination Date to the date that is 12 months following the Termination Date); and (B) the date of expiration specified in the Option Agreement or in the resolution of the Board granting such Option, as the case may be. Any Options granted to such Optionee that are not exercisable at the Termination Date shall immediately expire and be cancelled on the Termination Date.

  • (c) Where, in the case of an Employee Optionee or Executive Optionee, such Optionee's employment or term of office with the Corporation or an Affiliated Corporation is terminated by the Corporation or an Affiliated Corporation for Cause, then any Options granted to such Optionee, whether or not exercisable at the Termination Date, shall immediately expire and be cancelled on the Termination Date contemporaneously with such termination.
  • (d) Where, in the case of a Consultant Optionee, such Optionee's consulting agreement or arrangement terminates by reason of:

then any Options granted to such Optionee that are exercisable at the Termination Date shall continue to be exercisable until the earlier of: (A) the date that is 90 days following the Termination Date (which date may be extended by the Board at any time prior to the Termination Date to the date that is 12 months following the Termination Date); and (B) the date of expiration specified in the Option Agreement or in the resolution of the Board granting such Option, as the case may be.

contained in such Optionee's consulting agreement or arrangement), then any Options granted to such Optionee, whether or not such Options are exercisable at the Termination Date, shall immediately expire and be cancelled on the Termination Date contemporaneously with such termination.

(f) Unless the Board, in its discretion, otherwise determines at any time and from time to time, Options shall not be affected by any change of employment or consulting arrangement within or among the Corporation or an Affiliated Corporation for so long as an Employee Optionee continues to be an employee of the Corporation or an Affiliated Corporation, or for so long as the Executive Optionee continues to be a director or officer of the Corporation or an Affiliated Corporation, or for so long as the Consultant Optionee continues to be engaged as a consultant to the Corporation or an Affiliated Corporation, as the case may be. For greater certainty, if an Optionee ceases to be an Executive Optionee but remains an Employee Optionee, the Options granted to such Optionee shall not be affected by such change.

4.11 Change of Control

Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Plan, the Board may, at the time of issuance of the Option or at any time prior to the exercise of the Option, amend the Option to provide that in the event that:

  • (a) the Corporation accepts an offer to amalgamate, merge or consolidate with any other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary) or in the event that holders of greater than 50% of the Corporation's outstanding Shares accept an offer made to all or substantially all of the holders of the Shares of the Corporation to purchase in excess of 50.1% of the current issued and outstanding Shares, or
  • (b) the sale by the Corporation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, either as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, so that the Corporation shall cease to operate as an active business,

then all of the unvested Options shall, without any further action on behalf of the Corporation, be automatically vested. Each Optionee shall thereafter be entitled to exercise all of such Options at any time up to and including, but not after the earlier of: (i) the close of business on that date which is thirty (30) days following the date of acceptance by the Corporation of such transaction; and (ii) the close of business on the expiration date of the Option. Upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, all rights of the Optionee to such Options or to the exercise of same (to the extent not theretofore exercised) shall ipso facto terminate and have no further force or effect whatsoever.

4.12 Discretion to Permit Exercise

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.9 and 4.10, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to or following the events contemplated in such Sections, permit the exercise of any or all Options held by an Optionee in the manner and on the terms authorized by the Board, provided that the Board shall not, in any case, authorize the execution of an Option pursuant to this Section beyond the date of expiration specified in the Option Agreement or in the resolution of the Board granting such Option, as the case may be.

4.13 Limits on Grants

No Options shall be issued to any Eligible Person if such issuance could result, at any time, in:

  • (a) the aggregate number of Options granted under this Plan, together with any securities issued or granted pursuant to any of the Corporation's other share compensation arrangements, to any one Consultant Optionee in a 12 month period exceeding 2% of Outstanding Shares, calculated at the date an Option is granted to such Consultant; or
  • (b) the aggregate number of Options granted under this Plan, together with any securities issued or granted pursuant to any of the Corporation's other share compensation arrangement, to all Eligible Persons retained to provide investor relation services in any 12-month period exceeding 2% of Outstanding Shares, calculated at the date an Option is granted to any such Eligible Person.

4.14 Terms or Amendments Requiring Disinterested Shareholder Approval

The Corporation will be required to obtain Disinterested Shareholder Approval prior to any of the following actions becoming effective:

  • (a) the Plan, together with all of the Corporation's other share compensation arrangements, could result at any time in the aggregate number of Options granted to any one Optionee in a 12-month period exceeding 5% of Outstanding Shares, calculated on the date an Option is granted to such Optionee; or
  • (b) any reduction in the Exercise Price of an Option previously granted to an Insider.

ARTICLE V GENERAL

5.1 Capital Adjustments

  • (a) The existence of any Options shall not affect in any way the right and power of the Corporation or its shareholders to make, authorize or determine any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization, or any other change in the Corporation's capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation involving the Corporation, to create or issue any bonds, debentures, Shares or other securities of the Corporation or to determine the rights and conditions attaching thereto, to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or to effect any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise, whether or not any such action referred to in this Section 5.1(a) would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Option granted hereunder.
  • (b) If there is any change in the outstanding Shares by reason of a stock dividend, or split, recapitalization, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, subject to any prior approval required of applicable regulatory authorities, the Board will make appropriate substitution or adjustment in:
  • (i) the Exercise Price of unexercised Options;
  • (ii) the number or kind of shares or other securities reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan; and
  • (iii) the number and kind of shares subject to unexercised Options theretofore granted and in the Exercise Price of those shares,

provided, however, that no substitution or adjustment will obligate the Corporation to issue or sell fractional shares. The determination of the Board as to any adjustment, or as to there being no need for adjustment, will be final and binding on all parties concerned.

5.2 Conditions of Exercise

The Plan and Options are subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board determines that: (a) the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to such Option upon any stock exchange or quotation system or under any provincial, state or federal law, or that the consent or approval of any governmental body, stock exchange or quotation system or of the holders of the Shares generally, is necessary or desirable, as a condition of, or in connection with the granting of such Option or the issuance of Shares upon the exercise thereof; or (b) the grant of an Option or the issuance of Shares upon the exercise thereof is in conflict with or is inconsistent with Applicable Law, no such Option may be granted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained or such conflict or inconsistency is no longer outstanding, each free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. The Optionees shall, to the extent applicable, co-operate with the Corporation in relation to such registration, qualification or other approval and shall have no claim or cause of action against the Corporation or any of its officers or directors as a result of any failure by the Corporation to obtain or to take any steps to obtain any such registration, qualification, or approval.

5.3 Amendment and Termination

  • (a) The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion of it at any time in accordance with Applicable Law and subject to any required regulatory, Exchange or shareholder approval. However, subject to the terms hereof, unless consent is obtained from the Optionee affected, no amendment, suspension or termination may alter or impair any Options, or any rights related to Options, that were granted to that Optionee prior to the amendment, suspension or termination.
  • (b) If the Plan is terminated, the provisions of the Plan and any administrative guidelines and other rules adopted by the Board and in force at the time of termination of the Plan will continue in effect as long as any Option remains outstanding. However, notwithstanding the termination of the Plan, the Board may make any amendments to the Plan or to any outstanding Option that the Board would have been entitled to make if the Plan were still in effect.
  • (c) Subject to Applicable Law and to any necessary prior approval of applicable regulatory authorities and with the consent of the affected Optionee, the Board may amend or modify any outstanding Option in any manner, including, without limitation, by changing the date or dates as of which, or the price at which, an Option becomes exercisable, so long as the Board would have had the authority to grant initially the Option as so modified or amended. The Board shall not, in the event of any such advancement or extension, be under any obligation to advance or extend the date on or by which Options may be exercised by any other Optionee.

5.4 Status as Shareholder

Optionees shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares until:

  • (a) full payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares has been made to the Corporation; and
  • (b) the Optionee becomes a party to any existing shareholders agreement by executing and delivering to the Corporation an assumption agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation whereby the Optionee agrees to be bound by any existing shareholders agreement.

Upon becoming a shareholder of the Corporation, an Optionee may only transfer Shares in accordance with and subject to Applicable Law and the constating documents of the Corporation.

5.5 Withholding Taxes

The exercise of each Option granted under the Plan is subject to the condition that if at any time the Corporation determines, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities is necessary or desirable in respect of such exercise, such exercise is not effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Corporation. In such circumstances, the Corporation may require that an Optionee pay to the Corporation, in addition to and in the same manner as the Exercise Price for the Shares, such amount as the Corporation is obliged to remit to the relevant taxing authority in respect of the exercise of the Option. Any such additional payment is due no later than the date as of which any amount with respect to the Option exercised first becomes includable in the gross income of the Optionee for tax purposes.

5.6 Non-Exclusivity and Corporate Action

  • (a) Subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approval, nothing contained herein will prevent the Board from adopting other additional compensation arrangements for the benefit of any Optionee.
  • (b) Nothing contained in the Plan or in the Options shall be construed so as to prevent the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation from taking corporate action which is deemed by the Corporation or the subsidiary to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan.

5.7 Employment and Board of Directors Position Non-Contractual

The granting of an Option to an Optionee under the Plan does not confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employment of the Corporation or any Affiliated Corporation or as a member of the Board, as the case may be, nor does it interfere in any way with the rights of the Optionee or of the Corporation's rights to terminate the Optionee's employment or consulting arrangements at any time or of the shareholders' right to elect one or more directors of the Corporation.

5.8 Indemnification

Every member of the Board will at all times be indemnified and saved harmless by the Corporation from and against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever including any income tax liability arising from any such indemnification, that such Board member may sustain or incur by reason of any action, suit or proceeding, taken or threatened against the Board member, otherwise by the Corporation, for or in respect of any act done or omitted by the Board member in respect of the Plan, such costs, charges and expenses to include any amount paid to settle such action, suite or proceeding or in satisfaction of any judgement rendered therein.

5.9 Notices

All written notices to be delivered by the Optionee to the Corporation may be delivered personally, by facsimile or by registered mail, addressed as follows: 333 Bay Street, Suite 1700, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2R2, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

Any notice delivered by the Optionee pursuant to the terms of the Option shall not be effective until actually received by the Corporation at the above address. Any notice to be delivered to the Optionee shall be effective when delivered personally (effective at the time of delivery), by facsimile transmission (effective one day after transmission) or by registered mail to the last address of the Optionee on the records of the Corporation (which shall be deemed effective the third Business Day after mailing).
