The Company reserves the right to take any additional precautionary measures in relation to the Meeting in response to further developments in respect of the COVID-19 outbreak that the Company considers necessary or advisable including changing the time, date or location of the Meeting. Changes to the Meeting, time, date or location and/or means of holding the Meeting may be announced by way of news release. The Company does not intend to prepare or mail an amended Circular in the event of changes to the Meeting format.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the enclosed proxy (the " Proxy ") are directors and/or officers of the Company. A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Shareholder) to attend and act for and on behalf of the Shareholder at the Meeting other than the persons named in the enclosed Proxy. To exercise this right, a Shareholder shall strike out the names of the persons named in the enclosed Proxy and insert the name of the Shareholder’s nominee in the blank space provided, or complete another instrument of proxy.

A proxy must be signed by the Shareholder or by his attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer. A proxy will not be valid unless it is deposited with the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (" Computershare "), at 9[th] Floor - 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, or by fax within North America at 1-866-249-7775 or outside North America at 1-416-263-9524, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of the Meeting or adjournment thereof.

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer, and

2

deposited with Computershare at the address or fax numbers indicated in the preceding paragraph, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of it, at which the proxy is to be used, or to the Chairperson of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment of it. A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

VIRTUAL MEETING VOTING PROCESS

As noted above, in light of ongoing concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19, the Company will hold its Meeting this year in a virtual format. The Company is strongly encouraging Shareholders to attend the Meeting through the use of the virtual platform.

Only Shareholders whose names appear on the certificate(s) (a " Registered Shareholder ") representing the Company’s common shares and duly appointed proxyholders may attend and vote at the Meeting. Registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders who participate at the virtual Meeting will be able to listen to the Meeting, ask questions and vote, all in real time, provided they are connected to the conference line and comply with all of the requirements set out in this Circular. A Registered Shareholder or a Beneficial Shareholder (as defined below) who has appointed themselves or a third-party proxyholder to represent them at the Meeting, will appear on a list of Shareholders prepared by Computershare. To have their common shares (" Common Shares ") voted at the Meeting, each Registered Shareholder or duly appointed proxyholder will be required to enter their control number or other passcode prior to the start of the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholders may attend the Meeting as guests. Guests will be able to listen to the Meeting, but will not be able to vote or ask questions at the Meeting. This is because the transfer agent, Computershare, does not have a record of Beneficial Shareholders of and, as a result, will have no knowledge of shareholdings or entitlement to vote, unless the Beneficial Shareholder appoints itself as proxyholder.

If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and wish to vote at the Meeting, you must (i) appoint yourself as proxyholder by inserting your own name in the space provided for appointing a proxyholder on the voting instruction form sent to you and follow all of the applicable instructions, including the deadline, provided by the intermediary.

In order to streamline the virtual Meeting process, the Company encourages Shareholders to vote in advance of the Meeting using the proxy or voting instruction form mailed to them with the Meeting materials. Shareholders wishing to attend the virtual Meeting may do so by calling the number provided above and instructions will be provided as to how shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting may participate and vote at the Meeting. If you attend the virtual Meeting, it is important that you remain connected to the conference line for the duration of the Meeting in order to vote when balloting commences. It is your responsibility to ensure that you remain connected. The Meeting will begin promptly at 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on April 29, 2021, unless otherwise adjourned or postponed. You should allow ample time for the virtual check-in procedures prior to the start of the Meeting.

A summary of the information Shareholders will need to attend the virtual Meeting is provided below:

  • Registered Shareholders must call in prior to the start of the Meeting, and provide the control number located on the form of proxy.

  • Duly appointed proxyholders will obtain from Computershare a passcode after the proxy voting deadline has passed and the duly appointed proxyholder has been duly appointed.

  • Guests, including Beneficial Shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder can listen to the Meeting, but will not able to vote or ask questions.

If a Registered Shareholder calls into the virtual Meeting, they must notify the operator if they wish to revoke any previously submitted proxies. In such a case, the Registered Shareholder will be provided the opportunity to vote by ballot or poll on the matters put forth at the Meeting.

United States Beneficial Shareholders : To attend and vote at the Meeting, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent and then register in advance to attend the Meeting. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a legal proxy form. After first obtaining a valid legal proxy

3

from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to attend the Meeting, you must submit a copy of your valid legal proxy to Computershare. Requests for registration should be directed to:

Computershare 100 University Avenue 8th Floor Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1

OR

Email at [email protected]

Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on April 27, 2021. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials. You may attend the Meeting and vote during the Meeting.

VOTING OF SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION OF PROXIES

On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed. Where directions are given by the Shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolution, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy will do so in accordance with such direction. In the absence of any instruction in a proxy, it is intended that such shares will be voted in favour of the motions proposed to be made at the Meeting, as stated under the headings in this Circular.

The enclosed Proxy, when properly signed, confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters which may properly be brought before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Circular, Management is not aware that any such amendments, variations or other matters are to be presented for action at the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to the Management should properly come before the Meeting, the enclosed Proxies hereby solicited will be exercised on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the nominee.

In order to approve a motion proposed at the Meeting, a majority of greater than 50% of the votes cast will be required (an " Ordinary Resolution ") unless the motion requires a " Special Resolution ", in which case a majority of not less than two thirds (66 2/3%) of the votes cast will be required. In the event a motion proposed at the Meeting requires disinterested Shareholder approval, common shares held by Shareholders of the Company who are also "insiders", as such term is defined under applicable securities laws, will be excluded from the count of votes cast on such motion.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to in this Circular as " Beneficial Shareholders ") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting.

If shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then, in almost all cases, those shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Such shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depositary for Securities, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). The shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, a broker and its agents are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their shares are communicated to the appropriate person.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered Shareholders.

4

However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholders how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (" Broadridge "). Broadridge typically applies a decal to the proxy forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the proxy forms to Broadridge. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a proxy with a Broadridge decal on it cannot use that proxy to vote shares directly at the Meeting. The proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the shares voted.

Since the Company does not have access to the names of its non-registered Shareholders, if a Beneficial Shareholder attends the Meeting the Company will have no record of the Beneficial Shareholder's shareholdings or of its entitlement to vote unless the Beneficial Shareholder's nominee has appointed the Beneficial Shareholder as proxyholder. Therefore, a Beneficial Shareholder who wishes to vote in person at the Meeting must insert its own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to the Beneficial Shareholder by its nominee, and sign and return the voting instruction form by following the signing and returning instructions provided by its nominee. By doing so, the Beneficial Shareholder will be instructing its nominee to appoint the Beneficial Shareholder as proxyholder. The Beneficial Shareholder should not otherwise complete the voting instruction form as its vote will be taken at the Meeting.

These security holder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the shares of the Company. If you are a non-registered owner and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. In this event, by choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you; and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions. In accordance with the provisions of NI 54-101, the Company has elected not to pay for mailing to objecting beneficial owner's under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (" OBOs "). As a result, OBOs will only receive paper copies of proxy-related materials if the OBO's intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, none of:

  • (a) the directors or executive officers of the Company at any time since November 1, 2018;

  • (b) the proposed nominees for election as a director of the Company; or

  • (c) any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons,

has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matters to be acted upon at the Meeting.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company's authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares (" Common Shares "), each share carrying the right to one vote, of which 233,549,647 Common Shares are issued and outstanding as at March 26, 2021 (the " Record Date "). The Company has no other class of shares.

Any Shareholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either personally attends the Meeting or who has completed and delivered a proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above, shall be entitled to vote or to have such Shareholder's shares voted at the Meeting.

Other than as set forth below, to the best of the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, no person holds, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction, over more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

NEO Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The objective of the Company's compensation strategy is to provide adequate levels of base compensation for its NEOs as well as discretionary bonuses to act as incentive mechanisms for achieving corporate goals and objectives. Each NEO receives a base salary in recognition of the position's day-to-day duties and responsibilities. The Company's board of directors (the " Board ") reviews each NEO's base salary on an annual basis, and may also consider a NEO's qualifications, experience, length of service and past contributions in determining an NEO's base salary.

The Board may also set, throughout the year, discretionary bonuses to serve as incentive mechanisms for the meeting of particular corporate goals and objectives, or for the Company's financial performance. NEOs are also eligible to participate in the Company's stock option plan (the " Option Plan ") and receive grants of stock options thereunder.

The Company relies on Board discussion, without formal objectives, criteria and analysis, when determining executive compensation. There are currently no formal performance goals or similar conditions that must be satisfied in connection with the payment of executive compensation. The NEOs’ performances and salaries or fees are to be reviewed periodically. Increases in management fees are to be evaluated on an individual basis and are performance and market-based. 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.

Option-Based Awards

The Option Plan is used to attract, retain and incentivize qualified and experienced personnel. The Option Plan is an important part of the Company's long-term incentive strategy for its NEOs, as well as for its other directors, officers, other management, employees and consultants (collectively, " eligible persons "), permitting them to participate in any appreciation of the market value of the Company's common shares over a stated period of time. The Option Plan is designed to foster a proprietary interest in stock ownership, and to reinforce a commitment to the Company's long-term growth, performance and success as well as increase shareholder value. The Board reviews the grant of stock options to NEOs from time to time, based on various factors such as the NEO's level of responsibility and role and importance in the Company achieving its corporate goals, objectives and prospects. Previous grants of options are taken into account when considering new grants of stock options to NEOs.

The Company has no equity compensation plans other than the Option Plan.

Use of Financial Instruments

The Company does not have a policy that would prohibit a NEO or director from purchasing financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director. However, management is not aware of any NEO or director purchasing such an instrument.

The compensation information provided in this Circular is provided for each of the most recently completed full financial years of the Company ended October 31. The Company recently changed its year end to December 31 and had a stub year of two months for the period between November 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Compensation disclosure has not been provided for such two month period but the Company confirms that there were no material changes in compensation practices during this period.

Under the policies of the TSXV, a rolling stock option plan must be re-approved on a yearly basis by Shareholders. The following information is intended as a brief description of the

14

Stock Option Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Stock Option Plan, which is attached as Schedule "D" to the Company's management information circular dated May 10, 2016, which was filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR on May 12, 2016 and is available at www.sedar.com:

  1. The number of Common Shares that may be the subject of options granted shall be determined by the Board, or if appointed, by a committee of directors appointed from time to time by the Board, provided, at the time the options are granted, that:

  2. (a) the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to insiders (as a group) at any point in time exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares;

  3. (b) the grant to insiders (as a group), within a 12 month period, of an aggregate number of options exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant of the options;

  4. (c) the issuance to any one optionee, within any 12 month period, of an aggregate number of options exceeding 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant of the options;

  5. (d) any individual option grant that would result in any of the limitations set out in sections (a), (b) or (c) being exceeded; or

  6. (e) any amendment to options held by insiders that would have the effect of decreasing the exercise price of such options.

  7. Subject to the policies of the Exchange, the exercise price shall not be less than the discounted market price permitted by the Exchange, provided that (i) if the Company has just been recalled for trading following a suspension or halt, the Company must wait until a satisfactory market has been established before setting the exercise price for and granting of the options (generally ten days from the date of resumption of trading); (ii) a minimum price cannot be established unless the options are allocated to particular optionees; and (ii) if options are granted within 90 days of a distribution of securities by way of a prospectus, the minimum exercise price of those options will be the greater of the discounted market price permitted by the Exchange and the prospectus offering price (the 90 day period to be calculated from the date a final receipt is issued for the prospectus).

  8. Options may be exercisable for a period of up to 10 years, as determined by the Board, or if appointed, by a committee of directors appointed from time to time by the Board.

  9. All options are non-assignable and non-transferable and, if granted at an exercise price less than market, will be legended with a four month Exchange hold period commencing on the date the stock options are granted.

  10. Options shall be subject to such vesting requirements, if any, as may be determined by the Board, or if appointed, by a committee of directors appointed from time to time by the Board, from time to time, provided that options granted to consultants performing "investor relations activities" must vest in stages over 12 months with no more than 1/4 of the options vesting in any three month period.

  11. Options can only be exercised by the applicable optionee and only so long as the optionee is a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed one year, after the optionee ceases to be in at least one of such positions to the extent that the optionee was entitled to exercise the options at the date of such cessation.

  12. In the event of death of an optionee, the options previously granted to it shall be exercisable as to all or any of the Common Shares in respect of which such options had not previously been exercised at the date of the optionee’s death (including in respect of the right to purchase Common Shares not otherwise vested at such time), by the legal representatives of the optionee at any time up to and including (but not after) a date six months following the date of death of the optionee or the expiry time of the options, whichever occurs first.

  13. Option agreements may provide that, in the event of the sale by the Company of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or in the event of a take-over bid is made for the Common Shares, the optionees shall be entitled,

15

for a stated period of time thereafter, to exercise and acquire all Common Shares under their options, including in respect of Shares available under the options that are not otherwise vested at that time.

  1. Disinterested shareholder approval for any reduction in the exercise price of previously granted options shall be obtained prior to the exercise of such options if the optionee is an "insider" of the Company at the time of the proposed reduction.

The Plan provides that other terms and conditions may be attached to a particular stock option grant at the discretion of the Board, or if appointed, by a committee of directors appointed from time to time by the Board.

As of March 26, 2021, there were 150,000 stock options outstanding.

Shareholders of the Company will be asked at the Meeting to approve an ordinary resolution in the form below to approve the ratification of the Stock Option Plan.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT, as an ordinary resolution:

  1. the Company's stock option plan as described in the Company's management information circular prepared in connection with the 2021 annual and special meeting of Shareholders, be hereby ratified and approved; and

  2. any director or officer of the Company be and he or she is hereby authorized and directed, on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver all such documents and to do all such other acts or things as he or she may determine to be necessary or advisable to give effect to this resolution, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination.

In the event that the Stock Option Plan is not so ratified no further options may be granted under the Stock Option Plan but those currently outstanding shall remain in place in accordance with their terms until their expiry.

Such resolution must be approved by a majority of the Company’s Shareholders.

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote the common shares represented by such proxy in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the ratification of the Stock Option Plan, unless the Shareholder who has given such proxy has directed that the common shares be voted against such resolution.

IV. Continuance to Ontario

Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve a special resolution (the " Continuance Resolution ") authorizing the Board, in its sole discretion, to apply for continuance (the " Continuance ") out of the Province of British Columbia under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the " BCBCA ") into the Province of Ontario under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the " OBCA "), as set out further below.

Introduction

The Company is currently incorporated under the BCBCA. The Board is of the view that it may be appropriate to continue the Company as an Ontario company for corporate and administrative reasons.

The Continuance, if approved, will effect a change in the legal domicile of the Company as of the effective date and time thereof and will affect certain of the rights of Shareholders as they currently exist under the BCBCA. Management of the Company is of the view that the OBCA will provide to Shareholders substantively the same rights as are available to Shareholders under the BCBCA, including rights of dissent and appraisal and rights to bring derivative actions and oppression actions, and is consistent with corporate legislation in most other Canadian jurisdictions and that shareholders will not be adversely affected by the Continuance. Shareholders should consult their legal advisors regarding implications of the Continuance which may be of particular importance to them.

Upon the Continuance becoming effective, Shareholders will continue to hold one common share of the Company for each Common Share currently held. The principal attributes of the Common Shares after Continuance will be identical to the corresponding shares of the Company prior to the Continuance other than differences in shareholders’ rights under the OBCA and the BCBCA, a summary of which is provided below.

16

The directors and officers of the Company immediately following the Continuance will be identical to the directors and officers of the Company immediately prior to the Continuance. As of the effective date of the Continuance, the election, duties, resignations and removal of the Company’s directors and officers shall be governed by the OBCA and the Articles of Continuance and by-laws.

Procedure

Under the BCBCA, in order to effect the Continuance of the Company from British Columbia into Ontario, the Company must obtain the approval of the Shareholders by way of special resolution under the BCBCA, being a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting. The Company must also make a written application to the Registrar of Companies appointed under the BCBCA (the " Registrar of Companies ") for consent to continue.

If the Continuance Resolution is approved at the Meeting, it is proposed the Company may apply to and file all necessary documentation with the Registrar of Companies for authorization to continue into Ontario. Immediately following receipt of the authorization of the Registrar of Companies, it is proposed that the Company would apply for a Certificate of Continuance and file Articles of Continuance under the OBCA to continue the Company into Ontario.

Upon the issuance of a Certificate of Continuance by the Director appointed under the OBCA (the " Director "), the Continuance will become effective, whereupon the Company will become subject to the OBCA, as if it had been incorporated under the OBCA, and the Articles of Continuance will be deemed to be the articles of incorporation of the Company.

The Articles of Continuance will constitute the governing instrument of the continued Company under the OBCA and the Certificate of Continuance issued by the Director will be deemed to be the certificate of incorporation of the continued Company. Upon the Articles of Continuance becoming effective, the Company becomes a corporation to which the OBCA applies as if it had been incorporated under the OBCA.

Notwithstanding the Continuance of the Company from British Columbia into Ontario, the BCBCA and the OBCA provide that all the rights of creditors of the Company against the Company’s property, rights and assets and all liens on the Company’s property, rights and assets are unimpaired by the Continuance. All debts, contracts, liabilities and duties of the Company continue to attach to the Company upon being continued under the OBCA and continue to be enforceable against it as if the Company had remained incorporated under the BCBCA as well as any existing cause of action, claim or legal proceeding against the Company.

Notwithstanding the approval of the Continuance by special resolution of the Shareholders of the Company, the Board may, without further approval by the Company’s Shareholders, abandon the application for the Continuance of the Company under the OBCA at any time prior to the issue of a Certificate of Continuance.

Corporate Governance Differences

In general terms, the OBCA provides to shareholders substantively the same rights as are available to shareholders under the BCBCA, including rights of dissent and appraisal and rights to bring derivative actions and oppression actions, and is consistent with corporate legislation in most other Canadian jurisdictions. There are, however, important differences concerning the qualifications of directors, location of shareholder meetings and certain shareholder remedies. The following is a summary comparison of certain provisions and the highlights of the BCBCA and the OBCA which pertain to rights of Shareholders. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and Shareholders should consult their legal advisers regarding all of the implications of the Continuance.

Charter Documents

Under the OBCA, the charter documents will consist of a Certificate and Articles of Continuance, which set forth, among other things, the name of the corporation and the amount and type of authorized capital, and by-laws, which govern the management of the Company following the Continuance. The Articles and the by-laws are kept at the Company’s registered office, or such other place in Ontario designated by the directors.

Under the BCBCA, the charter documents consist of a Certificate of Incorporation and Notice of Articles, which sets forth the name of the corporation, its directors and the amount and authorized share structure, and Articles, which govern the management of the Company. The Notice of Articles is filed with the Registrar of Companies while the Articles are kept at the Company’s records office.

17

A Continuance to Ontario and the adoption of the Articles of Continuance and by-laws will not result in any substantive changes to the constitution, powers or management of the Company, except as otherwise described herein.

Amendments to Charter Documents

Under the OBCA, certain fundamental changes require a special resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders voting on the resolution authorizing the alteration at a special meeting of shareholders, and, in certain instances, where the rights of the holders of a class or series of shares are affected differently by the alteration than those of the holders of other classes or series of shares, a special resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of shares of each class or series so affected, whether or not they are otherwise entitled to vote. Authorization to amalgamate an OBCA corporation requires that a special resolution in respect of the amalgamation be passed by the holders of each class or series of shares entitled to vote thereon. The holders of a class or series of shares of an amalgamating corporation, whether or not they are otherwise entitled to vote, are entitled to vote separately as a class or series in respect of an amalgamation if the amalgamation agreement contains a provision that, if contained in a proposed amendment to the Articles, would entitle such holders to vote separately as a class or series under Section 170 of the OBCA.

Any substantive change to the charter documents of a company under the BCBCA, such as an alteration of the restrictions, if any, on the business carried on by a company, a change in the name of a company, an increase, reduction or elimination of the maximum number of shares that the company is authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares, an alteration of the special rights and restrictions attached to issued shares or continuance of a company out of the jurisdiction requires a resolution of the type specified in its Articles. If the Articles do not specify the type of resolution, a special resolution passed by the majority of votes that the Articles of the company specify is required, if that specified majority is at least two thirds and not more than three quarters of the votes cast on the resolution or, if the Articles do not contain such a provision, a special resolution passed by at least two thirds of the votes cast on the resolution. Other fundamental changes such as a proposed amalgamation or arrangement require a similar special resolution passed by holders of shares of each class or series entitled to vote at a general meeting of the company and the holders of all classes or series of shares adversely affected by such changes.

Sale of Undertaking

The OBCA requires approval by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast upon a special resolution at a duly called special meeting for a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation other than in the ordinary course of business of the corporation. If a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation other than in the ordinary course of business of the corporation would affect a particular class or series of shares of the corporation in a manner different from the shares of another class or series of the corporation entitled to vote on the sale, lease or exchange at the meeting, the holders thereof are entitled to vote separately as a class or series in respect to such sale, lease or exchange.

Under the BCBCA, a company may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the undertaking (as opposed to ‘property’ under the OBCA) of the company if it does so in the ordinary course of its business or if it has been authorized to do so by a special resolution passed by the majority of votes that the Articles of the company specify is required, if that specified majority is at least two-thirds and not more than three-quarters of the votes cast on the resolution or, if the Articles do not contain such a provision, a special resolution passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast on the resolution.

Rights of Dissent and Appraisal

The OBCA provides a holder of shares of any class or series entitled to vote on a resolution may dissent to certain actions being taken by a company and require the company to purchase the shares held by such shareholder at the fair value of such shares, determined as of the close of business on the day before the resolution was adopted. The dissent right is applicable in respect of a resolution:

  • (a) to amend its Articles to add, remove or change restrictions on the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of a class or series of the shares of the corporation;

  • (b) to amend its Articles to add, remove or change any restriction upon the business or businesses that the corporation may carry on or upon the powers that the corporation may exercise;

  • (c) to amalgamate with another corporation;

18

  • (d) to be continued under the laws of another jurisdiction; or

  • (e) to sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all the corporation’s property.

Although the procedure under BCBCA for exercising rights of dissent differs from the procedure under the OBCA, the BCBCA also provides that shareholders of a company, whether or not such shareholder’s shares carry the right to vote, are entitled to dissent to certain actions being taken by the company and require the company to purchase the shares held by such shareholder at the fair value of such shares, determined immediately before the passing of the resolution. A shareholder is entitled to dissent pursuant to the BCBCA in respect of:

  • (a) a resolution to alter the company’s Articles to alter restrictions on the powers of the company or on the business that the company is permitted to carry on;

  • (b) a resolution to adopt an amalgamation agreement;

  • (c) a resolution to approve an amalgamation into a foreign jurisdiction;

  • (d) a resolution to approve an arrangement, the terms of which arrangement permit dissent;

  • (e) a resolution to authorize or ratify the sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of a company’s undertaking;

  • (f) a resolution to continue into a jurisdiction other than British Columbia;

  • (g) any other resolution, if dissent is authorized by the resolution; or

  • (h) any court order that permits dissent.

See "Shareholders’ Rights of Dissent in Respect of the Continuance".

Oppression Remedies

Under the OBCA, a registered security holder, former registered security holder, beneficial security holder, former beneficial security holder, director, former director, officer, former officer of a corporation or any of its affiliates, or any other person who, in the discretion of a court, is a proper person to seek an oppression remedy may apply to a court for an order to rectify the matters complained of where, in respect of a corporation or any of its affiliates:

  • (a) any act or omission of the corporation or its affiliates effects, or threatens to effect, a result;

  • (b) the business or affairs of the corporation or its affiliates are, or have been or are threatened to be carried on or conducted in a manner; or

  • (c) the powers of the directors of the corporation or any of its affiliates are, have been or are threatened to be exercised in a manner, that is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to or that unfairly disregards the interests of, any security holder, creditor, director or officer of the corporation.

The OBCA contains rights that are substantially broader in that they are available to a larger class of complainants than the BCBCA. Under the BCBCA, a shareholder of a company has the right to apply to court on the ground that:

  • (a) the affairs of the company are being or have been conducted, or that the powers of the directors are being or have been exercised, in a manner oppressive to one or more of the shareholders, including the applicant, or

  • (b) some act of the company has been done or is threatened, or that some resolution of the shareholders or of the shareholders holding shares of a class or series of shares has been passed or is proposed, that is unfairly prejudicial to one or more of the shareholders, including the applicant.

19

On such an application, the court may make such order as it sees fit, including an order to prohibit any act proposed by the company.

Shareholder Derivative Actions

Under the BCBCA, a shareholder or director of a company may, with leave of the court, bring an action in the name and on behalf of the company to enforce a right, duty or obligation owed to the company that could be enforced by the company itself or to obtain damages for any breach of such a right, duty or obligation.

A broader right to bring a derivative action is contained in the OBCA, and this right extends also to registered security holders, former registered security holders, beneficial security holders, former beneficial security holders, directors, former directors, officers and former officers of a corporation or any of its affiliates, and any other person who, in the discretion of the court, is a proper person to make an application to court to bring a derivative action. In addition, the OBCA permits derivative actions to be commenced in the name and on behalf of a corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or to intervene in an action to which any such body corporate is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of the body corporate.

Shareholder Proposals

Both the OBCA and the BCBCA contain provisions with respect to shareholder proposals.

Under the OBCA, a registered holder of shares entitled to vote or a beneficial owner of shares that are entitled to be voted at a meeting of shareholders may: (i) submit to the corporation notice of a proposal; and (ii) discuss at the meeting any matter in respect of which such shareholder would have been entitled to submit a proposal. A corporation that solicits proxies shall set out the proposal in the management information circular or attach the proposal to the circular. If requested by the shareholder, management must also include in the management information circular a statement by the shareholder in support of the proposal provided such statement meets certain criteria. A shareholder proposal may include nominations for the election of directors if the proposal is signed by one or more holders of shares representing in the aggregate not less than 5% of the shares or 5% of the shares of a class or series of shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting to which the proposal is to be presented.

A corporation is not required to set out the proposal or statement in support of the proposal in a management information circular where:

  • (a) notice of the proposal is submitted to the corporation less than 60 days before: (i) the anniversary date of the previous annual meeting, if the matter is proposed to be raised at an annual meeting; or (ii) the date of a meeting other than the annual meeting, if the matter is proposed to be raised at a meeting other than the annual meeting;

  • (b) it clearly appears that the primary purpose of the proposal is to enforce a personal claim or redress a personal grievance against the corporation or its directors, officers or security holders;

  • (c) it clearly appears that the proposal does not relate in a significant way to the business or affairs of the corporation;

  • (d) within two years before the receipt by the corporation of a person's notice of proposal, the person failed to present, in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the corporation's shareholders, a proposal which had been submitted by the person and had been included in a management information circular or a notice of meeting relating to that shareholders' meeting; or

  • (e) substantially the same proposal was submitted to shareholders in a management information circular, dissident's information circular, or notice of a meeting relating to a previous meeting of shareholders, such previous meeting was held within five years before the receipt by the corporation of the person's current notice of proposal, and at that previous meeting, the proposal did not receive the minimum amount of support.

Pursuant to the BCBCA, a proposal may only be submitted by qualified shareholders, which means a person who:

  • (a) is a registered owner or beneficial owner of one or more shares of the company that carry the right to vote at general meetings; and

  • (b) has been a registered owner or beneficial owner of one or more such shares for an uninterrupted period of at least two years before the date of the signing of the proposal;

20

provided that such shareholder has not, within two years before the date of the signing of the proposal, failed to present, in person or by proxy, at any annual general meeting, an earlier proposal submitted by such shareholder in respect of which the corporation complied with its obligations under the BCBCA.

A proposal pursuant to the BCBCA is valid if:

  • (a) the proposal is signed by a submitter who is a qualified shareholder;

  • (b) the proposal is signed by qualified shareholders who, together with the submitter, are, at the time of signing, registered owners or beneficial owners of shares that, in the aggregate: (i) constitute at least 1/100 of the issued shares of the company that carry the right to vote at general meetings, or (ii) have a fair market value in excess of $2,000;

  • (c) the proposal, and the declarations referred to in paragraph (d) below, are received at the registered office of the company at least three months before the anniversary of the previous year's annual reference date; and

  • (d) the proposal is accompanied by a declaration from the submitter and each supporter, signed by the submitter or supporter, as the case may be, or, in the case of a submitter or supporter that is a corporation, by a director or senior officer of the signatory: (i) providing the name of and a mailing address for that signatory; (ii) declaring the number and class or series of shares carrying the right to vote at general meetings that are owned by that signatory as a registered owner or beneficial owner; and (iii) unless the name of the registered owner has already been provided under subparagraph (i), providing the name of the registered owner of those shares.

A corporation that receives a valid proposal must send the text of the proposal, the names and mailing addresses of the submitter and supporting shareholders, and the text of any supporting statement accompanying the proposal to all persons who are entitled to notice of the annual general meeting in relation to which the proposal is made. Such information must be sent in, or within the time for sending of, the notice of the applicable annual general meeting, or in the corporation's information circular, if any, sent in respect of the applicable annual general meeting. If the submitter is a qualified shareholder at the time of the annual general meeting to which its proposal relates, the corporation must allow the submitter to present the proposal, in person or by proxy, at such meeting. If two or more proposals received by the corporation in relation to the same annual general meeting are substantially the same, the corporation needs to comply with such requirements only in relation to the first proposal received and not any others.

Requisition of Meetings

Both the BCBCA and the OBCA provide that shareholders of a company holding not less than 5% of the issued voting shares of a company may give notice to the directors requiring them to call and hold a meeting.

Place of Meetings

Subject to the Articles or any unanimous shareholder agreement, the OBCA permits meetings of shareholders to be held inside or outside Ontario as the directors determine, or in the absence of such a determination, at the place where the registered office of the corporation is located.

Under the BCBCA, meetings of shareholders are required to be held in British Columbia unless:

  • (a) a location outside of British Columbia is provided for in the Articles;

  • (b) the Articles do not restrict the company from approving a location outside of British Columbia, the location is approved by the resolution required by the Articles for that purpose (in the case of the Company, the location may be approved by directors’ resolution), or if no resolution is specified then approved by ordinary resolution before the meeting is held; or

  • (c) the location for the meeting is approved in writing by the Registrar of Companies before the meeting is held.

21

Directors

The OBCA and BCBCA both provide that a public company must have a minimum of three directors. The OBCA does not have a provincial residency requirement for directors (although at least 25% must be resident Canadians) and the BCBCA has neither Canadian nor provincial residency requirements for directors.

Shareholders’ Rights of Dissent in Respect of the Continuance

The following is a summary of the operation of the provisions of the BCBCA relating to a registered Shareholder’s dissent and appraisal rights in respect of the Continuance. Such summary is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Shareholder who seeks such dissent and appraisal rights and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Part 8, Division 2 of the BCBCA which is attached to this Information Circular as Schedule "C".

Any registered Shareholder considering the exercise of the right of dissent should seek legal advice, since failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the BCBCA may prejudice the registered Shareholder’s right of dissent. Persons who are beneficial owners of Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only the registered holders of such shares are entitled to dissent. Accordingly, a beneficial owner of Shares desiring to exercise the right of dissent must make arrangements for the Shares beneficially owned to be registered in their name prior to the time the written objection to the Continuance Resolution is required to be received by the Company or, alternatively, make arrangements for the registered holder of such shares to dissent on their behalf.

Pursuant to Section 238 of the BCBCA, any Shareholder who dissents to the Continuance Resolution (a " Continuance Dissenting Shareholder ") in compliance with Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA will be entitled to be paid by the Company the fair value of the Common Shares held by such Continuance Dissenting Shareholder determined as at the point in time immediately before the passing of the Continuance Resolution. A Continuance Dissenting Shareholder must dissent with respect to all Common Shares in which the holder owns a beneficial interest.

The filing of a notice of dissent deprives a Continuance Dissenting Shareholder of the right to vote at the Meeting, except if such Continuance Dissenting Shareholder ceases to be a Continuance Dissenting Shareholder in accordance with the Continuance Dissent Rights. For greater certainty, a Shareholder who wishes to exercise the Continuance Dissent Rights may not vote in favour of the Continuance.

A Shareholder who wishes to dissent must deliver written notice of dissent to the Company at its registered office, which is 666 Burrard Street, Suite 500, Vancouver, B.C., V6C 2X8, at least two days before the date on which the Continuance Resolution is to be voted upon and such notice of dissent must strictly comply with the requirements of Section 242 of the BCBCA.

In particular, the written notice of dissent must set out the number of Shares in respect of which the notice of dissent is to be sent and:

  • (a) if such Common Shares constitute all of the Common Shares of which the Shareholder is the registered and beneficial owner, a statement to that effect;

  • (b) if such Common Shares constitute all of the Common Shares of which the Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner but if the Shareholder owns additional Common Shares beneficially, a statement to that effect and the names of the Registered Shareholders, the number of Common Shares held by such registered owners and a statement that written notices of dissent have or will be sent with respect to such Common Shares; or

  • (c) if the dissent rights are being exercised by a registered owner who is not the beneficial owner of such Common Shares, a statement to that effect and the name of the beneficial owner and a statement that the registered owner is dissenting with respect to all Common Shares of the beneficial owner registered in such registered owner’s name.

The Company is required promptly after the later of (i) the date on which the Company forms the intention to proceed with the Continuance; and (ii) the date on which the written notice of dissent was received, to notify each Continuance Dissenting Shareholder of its intention to act on the Continuance. Upon receipt of such notification, each Continuance Dissenting Shareholder is then required, if the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder wishes to proceed with the dissent, within one month after the date of such notice to send to the Company (a) a written statement that the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder requires the Company to purchase all of its Common Shares; (b) the certificates representing such Common Shares; and (c) if the dissent right is being

22

exercised by the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial owner who is not the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder, a statement signed by the beneficial owner which sets out whether the beneficial owner is the beneficial owner of other Common Shares, and if so, (i) the names of the registered owners of such Common Shares; (ii) the number of such Common Shares; and (iii) that dissent is being exercised in respect of such Common Shares. A Shareholder who fails to send the Company, within the required time frame, the written statements described above and the certificates representing the Common Shares in respect of which the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder dissents, forfeits the Shareholder’s right to dissent.

On sending the required documentation to the Company, the fair value for a Continuance Dissenting Shareholder’s Common Shares will be determined as follows:

  • (a) if the Company and a Continuance Dissenting Shareholder agree on the fair value of the Common Shares, then the Company must promptly pay that amount to the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder or promptly send notice to the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder that the Company is lawfully unable to pay the Continuance Dissenting Shareholders for their Common Shares; or

  • (b) if a Continuance Dissenting Shareholder and the Company are unable to agree on a fair value, the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder may apply to the Supreme Court of British Columbia to determine the fair value of the Common Shares, and the Company must pay to the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder the fair value determined by such Court or promptly send notice to the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder that the Company is lawfully unable to pay the Continuance Dissenting Shareholders for their Common Shares.

The Company will be lawfully unable to pay the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder the fair value of their Shares if the Company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by making the payment to the Continuance Dissenting Shareholder. In such event, Continuance Dissenting Shareholders will have 30 days to elect to either (a) withdraw their dissent or (b) retain their status as a claimant and be paid as soon as the Company is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, be ranked subordinate to its creditors but in priority to its shareholders.

If the Continuance is not implemented for any reason, Continuance Dissenting Shareholders will not be entitled to be paid the fair value for their Shares and the Continuance Dissenting Shareholders will be entitled to the return of any Share certificates delivered to the Company in connection with the exercise of the Continuance Dissent Rights.

The discussion above is only a summary of the Continuance dissent rights which are technical and complex. A Shareholder who intends to exercise Continuance dissent rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA. Persons who are beneficial owners of Shares registered in the name of an intermediary such as a broker, custodian, nominee, other intermediary, or in some other name, who wish to dissent should be aware that only the registered owner of such shares is entitled to dissent. It is suggested that any Shareholder wishing to avail himself or herself of the Continuance dissent rights seek his or her own legal advice as failure to comply strictly with the applicable provisions of the BCBCA may prejudice the availability of such dissent rights. Continuance Dissenting Shareholders should note that the exercise of dissent rights can be a complex, time-consuming and expensive process.

Continuance Resolution

Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to approve with or without variation the Continuance Resolution as follows:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT as a special resolution:

  1. the continuance of Parkit Enterprise Inc. (the "Company") from the Province of British Columbia to the Province of Ontario, pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA") and the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA") is hereby authorized and approved;

  2. the Company is hereby authorized to make an application to the Registrar of Companies appointed under the BCBCA, for authorization to continue out of British Columbia into Ontario;

  3. the Company is hereby authorized to make an application to the Director appointed under the OBCA, pursuant to section 180 of the OBCA, for a Certificate of Continuance continuing the Company into Ontario under the OBCA;

  4. subject to the issuance of such Certificate of Continuance and without affecting the validity of the Company and the existence of the Company by or under its Notice of Articles and Articles and any act done thereunder, effective upon

23

issuance of the Certificate of Continuance, the Company adopt the Articles of Continuance forming part of the said application for continuance and such bylaws as the directors of the Company may approve in substitution for the existing Notice of Articles and Articles of the Company;

  1. the directors of the Company are hereby authorized, without further approval of the shareholders of the Company, to abandon the application for continuance of the Company under the OBCA at any time prior to the issue of a certificate of continuance by the Director appointed under the OBCA; and

  2. any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the Company to execute and deliver all documents and instruments and take such other actions, including making all necessary filings with applicable regulatory bodies and stock exchanges, as such director or officer may determine to be necessary or desirable to implement this special resolution and the matter authorized hereby, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of any such document or instrument and the taking of any such action."

The Board has concluded that the Continuance is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that the Shareholders approve the Continuance Resolution, by voting FOR the Continuance Resolution at the Meeting.

V. Other Matters

As of the date of this Circular, Management knows of no other matters to be acted upon at this Meeting. However, should any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by Proxy solicited hereby will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the persons voting the shares represented by the proxy.

Purpose of the Committee

The primary function of the audit committee (the "Committee") is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to regulatory authorities and shareholders, the Company’s systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting, and the Company’s auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes. Consistent with this function, the Committee will encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster adherence to, the Company’s policies, procedures and practices at all levels.

All members of the Committee must be financially literate (having the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can presumably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements).

SCHEDULE "B"

NI 58-101 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

PARKIT ENTERPRISE INC.

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board of Directors (the " Board "), the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the Shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day-to-day management of the Company. National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines (" NP 58-201 ") establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. These guidelines are not intended to be prescriptive but to be used by issuers in developing their own corporate governance practices. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its Shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.

Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (" NI 58-101 "), the Company is required to disclose its corporate governance practices, as summarized below. The Board will continue to monitor such practices on an ongoing basis and, when necessary, implement such additional practices as it deems appropriate.

ITEM 1. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board is responsible for supervising the management of the business and affairs of the Company and is currently comprised of six (6) directors two (2) of whom are independent. The independent directors are Julie Neault and Brad Dunkley. If elected, nominee Blair Tamblyn, will be a third independent director for the Company. Mr. Geller is not independent as a result of his position as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Delaney is not independent as a result of his prior role as Executive Chairman of the Company and Mr. Scott and Mr. Khan are not independent because of their roles as shareholders and directors of Access Results Management Inc., an entity which has signed a property management contract with the Company that has a term of five (5) years and provides for industry standard compensation payable to the manager.

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management by ensuring that the Board members who are independent of the Company, as such term is defined in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (" NI 52-110 ") meet independently of the non-independent members when required.

ITEM 2. DIRECTORSHIPS

The following current and proposed directors are also directors of the following other reporting issuers (or equivalent) in Canada or a foreign jurisdiction.

Name **Name of Reporting Issuer ** Name of Exchange or Market

ITEM 3. ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

The Board does not have a formal orientation policy. New directors, when elected or appointed, are and will be provided with access to information, including sufficient historical data, to become familiar with the Company and its operations and to familiarize themselves with the procedures of the Board.

The skills and knowledge of the Board, as a whole is such that no formal continuing education process is currently deemed required. The Board is comprised of individuals with varying backgrounds and have years of collective experience in managing and maintaining operations of companies in various sectors. Board members are encouraged to take courses that will continue to update their knowledge of any changes in regulatory and reporting requirements,

2

as well as communicate with management, auditors and technical consultants to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation, with management’s assistance. Board members have full access to the Company’s records. Reference is made to the table under the heading "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – Election of Directors" for a description of the current principal occupations of Board members and proposed nominees.

ITEM 4. ETHICAL BUSINESS CONDUCT

The Board expects management to comply with all statutes, regulations and administrative policies applicable to the Company, avoid conflicts of interest between work and personal affairs, declare any direct or indirect interest in a matter or proposed matter with the Company and refrain from voting thereon at meetings of the Board, refrain from insider trading, respect the rights of, and deal fairly with, the Company’s customers, suppliers, competitors and employees, and not take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other intentional unfair-dealing practice. The Board also expects management to avoid any discrimination or harassment against any group or individual, to strive to create a safe workplace and to protect the environment; promote honest and accurate recording and reporting of information in order to make responsible business decisions, maintain the confidentiality of confidential information, protect and preserve the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use, and cooperate in internal investigations of misconduct.

The Board has not yet instituted written policies with respect to all of the above nor adopted written codes of conduct for directors, officers and employees.

ITEM 5. NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

The Board determines new nominees to the Board. Given the size of the Company and the Board, no formal process has been adopted for this purpose. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members and the President and CEO.

At the Meeting, seven (7) members are to be elected to the Board (see " Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – Election of Directors "). The Board must have a sufficient number of directors to carry out it its duties efficiently, presenting a diversity of views and experience. The Board believes that the proposed number will be sufficient given the Company’s current state of development.

ITEM 6. COMPENSATION

The Board has not yet created or appointed a compensation committee given the Company’s current size and stage of development but it is anticipated that one will be created following the Meeting. See Item 7 below . To date all tasks related to developing and monitoring the Company’s approach to the compensation of the Company’s NEOs and directors have been performed by the members of the Board. The compensation of the NEOs, directors and the Company’s employees or consultants, if any, has been reviewed, recommended and approved by the Board without reference to any specific formula or criteria. See " Information Concerning the Company – Statement of Executive Compensation ".

The Board as a whole periodically reviews directors' compensation. In reviewing directors' compensation, the Board takes into account the types of compensation and the amounts paid to directors of comparable publicly traded Canadian companies, and the particular circumstances of the Company.

ITEM 7. OTHER BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board intends to form a Governance and Compensation Committee following the Meeting. It is anticipated that the Governance and Compensation Committee's mandate will include reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Company's senior executives (other than Mr. Geller's whose compensation will be reviewed by the full board), reviewing and approving the responsibilities of, and related performance criteria for, the senior executives as well as their long-term and short-term incentive compensation targets and assessing their performance against such criteria and targets. In addition, the committee will develop and make recommendations to the Board with respect to corporate governance matters, including preparing and reviewing the Company’s disclosure with respect to human resources and compensation matters before such disclosure is submitted to the Board for approval. The Governance and

3

Compensation Committee will also be responsible for the review and periodic update of the Company’s corporate governance mandates, policies and procedures which govern the conduct of the Company’s directors, officers and other employees. Moreover, the Governance and Compensation Committee will be mandated to examine, on an annual basis, the size and composition of the Board and, if appropriate, make recommendations in that regard in order to ensure the composition of the Board facilitates effective decision making.

ITEM 8. ASSESSMENTS

The Board does not, at present, have a formal process in place for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors, but will consider implementing one in the future should circumstances warrant. Based on the Company’s size, its stage of development and the limited number of individuals on the Board, the Board considers a formal assessment process to be inappropriate at this time. The Board plans to continue evaluating its own effectiveness on an ad hoc basis. The current size of the Board is such that the entire Board takes responsibility for selecting new directors and assessing current directors.
