For the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on November 9, 2020

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

(the " Corporation ") in connection with the solicitation by management of the Corporation of proxies to be voted at an annual and special meeting (the " Meeting ") of the Shareholders to be held at 11:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on November 9, 2020 by conference call only, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the " Notice of Meeting ") and at any adjournment thereof. Unless otherwise stated, the information provided in this Circular is provided as of October 6, 2020.

As a result of the development of the current coronavirus (“ COVID-19 ”) outbreak and in light of the rapidly evolving public health guidelines related to COVID-19, the Meeting will not be held at a physical location and participation at the Meeting will be by means of conference call only . Shareholders wishing to attend the Meeting by conference call may do so by using the following numbers: Toll-free 1-866-633-0845 in North America, locally in Calgary (403) 537-9609 or Global Toll-free 900-0150-8092, using the Conference ID 8443847.

We strongly recommend you check the Corporation’s profile on the SEDAR website prior to the Meeting for the most current information. In the event of any changes to the Meeting format due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Corporation will not prepare or mail amended meeting materials

All shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote by submitting their completed form of proxy (or voting instruction form) prior to the Meeting by one of the means described on in the Circular accompanying this Notice.

The solicitation of proxies is made on behalf of the management of the Corporation . Such solicitation will be made primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors and officers of the Corporation, who will not be remunerated therefor. The costs incurred in the preparation and mailing of the form of proxy, Notice of Meeting and this Circular will be borne by the Corporation. The cost of the solicitation will be borne by the Corporation.

The board of directors of the Corporation (the “ Board ”) has fixed the close of business on October 6, 2020 as the record date, being the date for the determination of the registered Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting (the “ Record Date ”).

Appointment of Proxyholders

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Corporation. A Shareholder has the right to appoint, as proxyholder or alternate proxyholder, a person, persons or a company (who need not be a Shareholder) to represent such Shareholder at the Meeting, other than any of the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy, and may do so either by inserting the name of his chosen nominee in the space provided for that purpose on the form and striking out the other names on the form, or by completing another proper form of proxy.

1

Deposit of Proxy

An appointment of a proxyholder or alternate proxyholders, by resolution of the directors duly passed, WILL NOT BE VALID FOR THE MEETING OR ANY ADJOURNMENT THEREOF UNLESS IT IS DEPOSITED WITH THE CORPORATION'S TRANSFER AGENT, TSX TRUST COMPANY, SUITE 301, 100 – ADELAIDE STREET WEST, TORONTO, ONTARIO M5H 4H1, ATTENTION PROXY DEPARTMENT, OR DELIVERED BY FAX TO 1-416-595-9593 OR VIA THE INTERNET AT WWW.VOTEPROXYONLINE.COM NOT LATER THAN 48 HOURS (EXCLUDING SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND STATUTORY HOLIDAYS) PRIOR TO THE TIME SET FOR THE MEETING OR ANY ADJOURNMENT THEREOF . A return envelope has been included with the material.

Revocation of Proxies

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke the proxy:

(a) by depositing an instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder's attorney authorized in writing:

(i) with TSX Trust Company not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used;

(ii) at the registered office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used;

(iii) with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof; or

(b) in any other manner provided by law.

A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

Exercise of Discretion

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 Common Shares represented by the proxy submitted by a Shareholder will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions, if any, of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for. If the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the securities will be voted accordingly by the proxy.

In the absence of such direction in respect of a particular matter, such Common Shares will be voted in favour of such matter. 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. As of the date of this Circular, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any such amendments, variations or other matters which are not now known to the management of the Corporation should properly come before the Meeting, the Common Shares represented by the proxies hereby solicited will be voted thereon in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting such proxies.

2

Unless otherwise indicated, all matters to be voted upon as set forth in the Notice of Meeting, require approval by a simple majority of all votes cast by Shareholders, present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

Non-Registered Holders

Only registered holders of Common Shares or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Many Shareholders are "non-registered" Shareholders (" Non-Registered Shareholders ") because the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead either (i) registered in the name of an intermediary (the " Intermediary ") that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Common Shares, such as, among others, brokerage firms, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans, or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators (" NI 54-101 "), the Corporation has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Circular and the enclosed form of proxy (collectively the " Meeting Materials ") to Intermediaries and clearing agencies for onward distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders of Common Shares.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a NonRegistered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the meeting materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. A Non-Registered Shareholder who has not waived the right to receive the Meeting Materials will either:

a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed 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 not otherwise completed. Since the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to vote by proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it as specified above under "Deposit of Proxy"; or

b) more typically, be given a voting instruction form which must be completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the directions accompanying the voting instruction form. A Non-Registered Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote the common shares held by such NonRegistered Shareholder directly at the Meeting.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit the Non-Registered Shareholder to direct the voting of the Common Shares that the Non-Registered Shareholder beneficially owns. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (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 form of proxy and insert his or her name in the space provided for that purpose on the voting instructions form and return it in accordance with the directions of the Intermediary.

The Non-Registered Shareholder should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or voting instructions form is to be delivered.

A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a form of proxy or voting instructions form given to an Intermediary by contacting the Intermediary through which the Non-Registered Shareholder's Common Shares are held and following the instructions of the Intermediary respecting the revocation of proxies. In order to ensure than an Intermediary acts upon a revocation of a proxy form or voting instruction form, the written notice should be received by the Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting.

3

Management of the Corporation does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to objecting beneficial owners (" OBOs ") under NI 54-101 the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 - Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary . An OBO is a Non-Registered Shareholder that objects to their intermediary disclosing their ownership information.

Voting Shares and Principal Holders

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares without nominal or par value. As of the date hereof, the Corporation has issued and outstanding 7,000,000 fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares. Each holder of Common Shares is entitled to one vote for each Common Share shown as registered in such holder's name on the list of Shareholders prepared as of the close of business on the Record Date with respect to all matters to be voted on at the Meeting. A quorum will be present at the Meeting if there are at least two persons present in person, who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, are entitled to vote at the Meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Corporation, other than as set forth below, no person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control over, Common Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the outstanding Common Shares. Mohammad Fazil, the Corporation’s President, Chief Executive Officer, Promoter and a Director of the Corporation, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control 901,000 Common Shares, representing 12.87% of the aggregate issued and outstanding Common Shares.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Corporation’s audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2019 will be placed before Shareholders at the Meeting. These financial statements have been electronically filed with regulators and are available for viewing through the Internet on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (" SEDAR ") at www.sedar.com. Copies of the financial statements will also be available at the Meeting or upon request by any Shareholder who wishes to receive copies. To request copies, please contact Mohammad Fazil, President, Chief Executive Officer, Promoter and Director of the Corporation at (403) 6137310.

2. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Directors of the Corporation are elected for a term of one year. Management of the Corporation proposes that the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting be fixed at four. The term of office of each of the nominees, if elected, will run until the close of the next annual general meeting, unless he or she resigns or otherwise vacates office before that time. We currently have four directors, each of whom is being nominated by management for re-election as a director at the Meeting.

Nominees for Election

The following are the nominees proposed for election as directors of the Corporation, together with the number of shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or over which control or direction is exercised, by each of them. All of the nominees are currently directors of the Corporation. Each of the nominees has agreed to stand for election and we are not aware of any intention of any of them not to do so. If, however, one or more of them should become unable to stand for election, it is likely that one or more other persons would be nominated at the Meeting for election and, in that event, the persons designated in the form of proxy will vote in their discretion for a substitute nominee.

4. APPROVAL OF STOCK OPTION PLAN

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed appropriate, approve with or without variation an ordinary resolution to approve and adopt the Corporation's incentive stock option plan attached hereto as Schedule “B” (the " Stock Option Plan ").

Summary of Stock Option Plan

The number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan at any time is equal to 10% of the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding at any time. Directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan Options granted to these participants shall have an expiry date not exceeding ten years from the date of grant, after which they cease to be exercisable.

Subject to the conditions disclosed herein, the Board determines the manner in which an option shall vest and become exercisable. Options granted to consultants performing investor relations activities shall vest over a minimum of 12 months with no more than 1/4 of such options vesting in any three month period. The Stock Option Plan provides that the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance:

(a) to any one person, within any 12 month period, will not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant;

(b) to any one consultant, within any 12 month period, will not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant;

(c) in aggregate to persons conducting investor relations activities, within any 12 month period, will not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant; and

(d) in aggregate to insiders will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant and in aggregate will not exceed, within any 12 month period, 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant.

Options are exercisable only by the participant to whom they are granted and may not be assigned or transferred. Notwithstanding this restriction, upon the death of a participant, the participant's legal representatives, heirs, executors and administrators may exercise the participant's options for a period ending no later than the earlier of the option expiry date and 12 months after the participant's death.

Subject to the discretion of the Board, where a person ceases to be an eligible participant under the Stock Option Plan, other than by reason of death or in the event of termination for cause, options granted to participants shall cease to be exercisable on the earlier of the expiry date and 90 days after the date of termination or, if the participant was involved in investor relations activities, the options shall cease to be exercisable on the earlier of the expiry date and 30 days after the date of termination. Subject to the discretion of the Board, if a participant is terminated for cause, all options received shall terminate and cease to be exercisable upon such termination. Subject to obtaining any required approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the " Exchange "), shareholders or participants, as the case may be, the Corporation may amend the Stock Option Plan or the terms of any option granted thereunder in accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Plan. Disinterested shareholder approval is required for certain amendments, including any reduction in the exercise price of an option held by a participant.

Management of the Corporation recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve and adopt the Stock Option Plan. Unless you give other instructions, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the approval and adoption of the Stock Option Plan.

5. SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS

In accordance with applicable polices of the Exchange, the Corporation will be required to obtain Shareholder approval of any proposed Qualifying Transaction (as defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange) if such Qualifying Transaction is not a “Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction”. That fact notwithstanding, in order to provide the Board with a degree of flexibility when evaluating and negotiating potential Qualifying Transactions, and for timing and expense considerations, the Corporation has determined to seek shareholder approval for two special resolutions concerning: (i) the potential consolidation of the Common Shares (the " Consolidation ") and (ii) the potential change of the Corporation’s name (the " Name Change "), all as described in greater detail below.

Name Change

At the Meeting Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to approve, with or without variation, a special resolution substantially in the form annexed hereto in Schedule "A" (the " Name Change Resolution ") authorizing the Board to change the name of the Corporation to such name as the Board may, in their sole discretion, determine to be appropriate. To be effective, the Name Change Resolution must be passed by the affirmative vote of 66[2/3] of the votes cast by Shareholders, present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

Management of the Corporation recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Name Change Resolution. Unless you give other instructions, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Name Change Resolution.

Consolidation

At the Meeting the Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to approve, with or without variation, a special resolution substantially in the form annexed hereto in Schedule "A" (the " Consolidation Resolution ") to approve the consolidation of the then outstanding Common Shares on the basis of up to five (5) pre-consolidation Common Shares for every one (1) post-consolidation Common Share, or such other consolidation ratio as the Board may, in their sole discretion, determine to be appropriate. To be effective, the Consolidation Resolution must be passed by the affirmative vote of 66[2/3] of the votes cast by Shareholders, present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

No fractional Common Shares will be issued in connection with the consolidation and the aggregate number of the Common Shares that any Shareholder shall be entitled to receive post-consolidation shall be rounded to the next lowest whole number of Common Shares, and no cash amount shall be payable in respect of such fractional shares.

Management of the Corporation recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Consolidation Resolution. Unless you give other instructions, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Consolidation Resolution.

6. APPROVAL OF PROPOSED FIXED STOCK OPTION PLAN

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed appropriate, approve with or without variation an ordinary resolution to approve the potential implementation of an incentive stock option plan for the Corporation, if as and when deemed appropriate by the Board in its sole discretion, subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (the " Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan "). This will provide the Board with the flexibility to choose a stock option incentive plan that best suits the needs of the Corporation. The Board will be able to choose between keeping the existing Stock Option Plan of the Corporation being approved by Shareholders at this Meeting (see Item 4 – Approval of Stock Option Plan ) or implementing the Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan described below.

7

Summary of Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan, which is attached hereto as Schedule "D":

• The Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan is a “fixed” plan. The number of Shares to be reserved and authorized for issuance pursuant to options granted under the Plan shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares in the Corporation as is fixed by the Corporation from time to time and approved by Shareholders. If the Proposed Fixed Option Plan is adopted by the Board, the number will be fixed at twenty percent (20%) of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation at the time of completion of a Qualifying Transaction by the Corporation.

• Under the Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan, the aggregate number of optioned Shares granted to any one optionee in a 12 month period must not exceed 5% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding shares. The number of optioned Shares granted to any one consultant in a 12 month period must not exceed 2% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding shares. The aggregate number of optioned Shares granted to an optionee who is employed to provide investor relations' services must not exceed 2% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Shares in any 12 month period.

• The exercise price for options granted under the Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan shall not be less than the market price of the Corporation's Shares at the time of the grant, less applicable discounts permitted by the policies of the Exchange.

• Options shall be exercisable for a term of up to five years, subject to earlier termination in the event of the optionee's death or the cessation of the optionee's services to the Corporation.

• Options granted under the Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan are non-assignable, except by shall or by the laws of descent and distribution.

• In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan), all outstanding options, other than those granted for Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan) shall vest immediately.

• Pursuant to the policies of the Corporation respecting restrictions on trading, there are a number of periods each year during which directors, officers and certain employees are precluded from trading in the Corporation's securities. These periods are referred to as "blackout periods". A black out period is designed to prevent a person from trading while in possession of material information that is not yet available to other Shareholders. The Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan includes a provision that should an option expiration date fall within a black out period or immediately following a black out period, the expiration date shall automatically be extended for ten business days following the end of the black out period

Management of the Corporation recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan. Unless you give other instructions, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the approval and adoption of the Proposed Fixed Stock Option Plan.

Audit Committee Oversight

At no time since the commencement of the Corporation's most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, has a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not been adopted by the Board.

Reliance on Exemptions and Exemptive Relief

As the Corporation is a "venture issuer" pursuant to relevant securities legislation, we are relying on the exemption in Section 6.1 of National Instrument 52-110 — Audit Committees (" NI 52-110 ") from the Audit Committee composition requirements of Part 3 and the reporting obligations of Part 5 of NI 52-110.

At no time since the commencement of the Corporation's most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, has the Corporation relied on the exemption in Section 2.4 of NI 52-110 (De Minimis Non-Audit Services) or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of NI 52-110.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

As a Capital Pool Company pursuant to the policies of the Exchange, the Corporation has been in the process of identifying a business or assets to define its operations going forward. The Corporation’s corporate governance policies will be developed and refined after it completes a Qualifying Transaction.

Composition of Board of Directors

The Board of the Corporation facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management by ensuring that there are directors on the Board who are independent of management. The Board, at present, is comprised of four directors, two of whom, Sarshar Ahmad and Jonathan Gilbert are considered to be independent of management. In determining whether a director is independent, the Board considers applicable securities legislation and stock exchange policies. On this basis, Mohammad Fazil, as President and Chief Executive Officer is not considered to be independent.

Board consideration and approval is required for all material contracts, business transactions and all debt and equity financing proposals. The Board delegates to management, through the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, responsibility for meeting corporate objectives.

The directors believe that, at this early stage of the Corporation's development, the current composition of the Board adequately facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management. The Board anticipates that, as the Corporation matures as a business enterprise, it will identify and may add additional qualified candidates that have experience relevant to the Corporation’s needs at such time.

13

Directorships

The following directors currently serve on the board of directors of the reporting issuers (or equivalent) listed below:

Mohammad Fazil Greenstone Capital Corp. TSXV President and Director January 2018 to

Present
Sarshar Ahmad Prospera Energy Inc. TSXV President, Director August 2019 to
Present
Jonathan Gilbert Greenstar Biosciences Corp. CSE Director July 27, 2020 to
Present

Orientation and Continuing Education

Given that the Corporation is a Capital Pool Company pursuant to the policies of the Exchange and does not have, as yet, business operations, as well as the fact that the current directors have prior experience from serving as directors of other public companies, the Corporation has not yet developed an official orientation or training program for new directors. As may be required in the future, new directors will have the opportunity to become familiar with the Corporation by meeting with the Board and with management. It is proposed that orientation activities, as required, will be tailored to the particular needs and experience of each director and the overall needs of the Board in the future.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board monitors the ethical business conduct of the Corporation. The Board believes that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by our governing corporate legislation and the common law, as well as the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on the individual director's participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest, are currently sufficient to promote a culture of ethical business conduct.

Nomination of Directors

As the Corporation progresses as a business enterprise, the Board plans to consider corporate objectives each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to its shareholders for election at annual general meetings, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain diversity of view and experience. The Board has not, as yet, appointed a nominating committee and these functions are expected, in the near term, be performed by the Board as a whole.

Compensation

Since its incorporation and in accordance with Exchange Policy 2.4, the Corporation has not awarded any compensation to any of its executive officers, other than grants of incentive stock options pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. Going forward, the Board, or a committee of the Board, will be responsible for determining all forms of compensation to be awarded to our executive officers and to the directors, and for reviewing such arrangements to reflect the responsibilities, risks and objectives associated with each position.

Committees of the Board of Directors

As of the date of this Circular, our Board has appointed only one committee, the Audit Committee. See: Audit Committee .

14

Assessments

Given that the Corporation is a Capital Pool Company, the Board does not presently formally review the contributions of individual directors; however, it believes that its current size facilitates informal discussion and evaluation of members' contributions within that framework.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Other than as set forth herein or as previously disclosed, the Corporation is not aware of any material interests, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, of any director or executive officer, or any shareholder holding more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the Common Shares or an associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing in any transaction in the preceding financial year or any proposed or ongoing transaction of the Corporation which has or will materially affect the Corporation. There are potential conflicts of interest to which the directors and officers of the Corporation will be subject in connection with the operations of the Corporation. In particular, certain of the directors and officers of the Corporation are involved in managerial and/or director positions with other companies whose operations may, from time to time, be in direct competition with those of the Corporation or with entities which may, from time to time, provide financing to, or make equity investments in, competitors of the Corporation. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies available under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the “ ABCA ”). The ABCA provides that in the event that a director has an interest in a contract or proposed contract or agreement, the director shall disclose his interest in such contract or agreement and shall refrain from voting on any matter in respect of such contract or agreement unless otherwise provided by the ABCA.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

During the most recently completed financial year, no director, executive officer, employee, promoter, member of management, nominee for election as director of the Corporation, or any of their associates or affiliates, is or has been indebted to the Corporation.

18

10. Option Period, Consideration and Payment

(b) An option shall vest and may be exercised (in each case to the nearest full share) during the Option Period in such manner as the board of directors may fix by resolution. Options which have vested may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Option Period.

(c) The exercise of any option shall be contingent upon receipt by the Corporation at its head office of a written notice of exercise, specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the option is being exercised, accompanied by cash payment, certified cheque, bank draft, or such other form of payment as shall be accepted by the Corporation, for the full purchase price of such Shares with respect to which the option is exercised plus payment of any required withholding tax (unless the Corporation has agreed to make alternative arrangements with the Optionee to cover the tax withholding obligation). No Optionee or his legal representatives, legatees or distributees shall be, or shall be deemed to be, a holder of any Shares subject to an option under the Plan, unless and until the certificates for such Shares are issued to him or them under the terms of the Plan.

(d) Should the expiry date of an Option fall within a Black Out Period or within nine business days following the expiration of a Black Out Period, such expiry date of the Option shall be automatically extended without any further act or formality to that date which is the tenth business day after the end of the Black Out Period, such tenth business day to be considered the expiry date for such Option for all purposes under the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Shares of the Company are listed on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange, no Options shall be granted to persons engaged in Investor Relations Activities.

(c) Nothing contained in the Plan, nor in any option granted pursuant to the Plan, shall as such confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuance as a Director, Employee, Consultant or Management Company Employee of the Corporation or of any of its Affiliates.

12. Death of Optionee

In the event of the death of an Optionee, the Optionee's option shall be exercisable only within one year next succeeding such death and then only:

19

(a) by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the option shall pass by the Optionee's will or the laws of descent and distribution; and

(b) to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the option at the date of the Optionee's death.

In the event the Corporation proposes to amalgamate, merge or consolidate with any other corporation (other than with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) or to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up, or in the event an offer to purchase the Shares of the Corporation or any part thereof shall be made to all holders of Shares of the Corporation, the Corporation shall have the right, upon written notice thereof to each Optionee, to require the exercise of the option granted within the thirty (30) day period next following the date of such notice and to determine that upon the expiry of such thirty (30) day period, all rights of the Optionee to exercise same (to the extent not theretofore exercised) shall ipso facto terminate and cease to have any further force or effect whatsoever.
