RecycLiCo™
BATTERY MATERIALS

110 – 7858 Hoskins Street, Delta, British Columbia, V4G 1M4

November 15, 2025

Dear Shareholders:

When I wrote to you in January, I said that we began 2025 anticipating new and exciting opportunities in critical mineral sourcing and recovery. In that letter, I laid out the policies the Board of Directors had put in place to build long-term value for our shareholders and achieve our goals for this calendar year. I am pleased to report in this letter that by implementing those policies, we have made substantial progress toward reaching our goals and positioning RecycLiCo to become a key contributor to the reshaping of the supply chains for critical minerals and metals in North America.

The success and implementation of our pending and planned technological, business development and funding initiatives will require a Board of Directors with the combined business and financial skills of the individuals proposed by Management. To ensure we keep our momentum moving forward and further benefit your investment, we ask all Shareholders to vote their shares as soon as possible.

For those of you that follow our press releases or social media posts, much of what you read here you will already know. I think, though, that it bears repeating. A lot has happened in 2025 (and there is still more to come). Taken together, the developments of the last ten months have resulted, we believe, in an improved RecycLiCo, one better-positioned for future success.

Our Expanded Focus (Slow and Steady Wins the Race)

I told you in January about our decision to refrain from investing in speculative, capital-intensive battery upcycling projects and to expand our focus to include additional paths to critical mineral recovery. Events in 2025 have proven that decision to be correct.

This year, two battery upcycling companies (Li-Cycle, which spent close to $1 billion, and Neometals, which spent over AUS 70 million) both exited the industry and disposed of their businesses for less than 5% of their total spend. We, on the other hand, strengthened our in-house scientific, engineering and technical capacity and infrastructure, entered into strategic collaborations with stellar partners and are actively soliciting the grant and cooperative funding opportunities that are emerging almost daily in Canada and the United States. We have done all this while preserving a cash position that will allow us to fund our anticipated cash needs for many years and still take advantage of attractive opportunities.

Personnel and Infrastructure (Doing the Necessary)

This past summer, we welcomed Mohammadali (Mo) Shahsavari as Materials Scientist and Process Engineer and the newest member of our scientific and engineering team. We remain committed to growing that team at a measured pace with only the most highly qualified professionals.

In September, we acquired a 10,047-square-foot building in Delta, B.C., to serve as our corporate headquarters and operations hub. We've retained Rain City Industrial to supervise the design and construction of a state-of-the-art laboratory within the facility, where we will also reassemble and upgrade our demonstration plant. We currently expect the reassembled plant to be commissioned during the second calendar quarter of 2026. Once upgraded, we will be able to use the plant for more than just proving out our legacy technology (that task is accomplished). Our team will be conducting


continuing research and development relevant to critical mineral and metal recovery. They will use the upgraded plant to conduct on-site process tests and product qualification and they will have the equipment necessary to scale innovations from bench to market-ready solutions.

These additions to our personnel and infrastructure have made us an eligible and credible candidate for government assistance in the form of grants and cooperative funding (see the discussion below).

Strategic Partners (It Helps to Have Friends)

In July, we joined with Lucid Motors and others to become a founding member of the Minerals for National Automotive Competitiveness Collaboration (MINAC). It is the goal of the MINAC members to advance our shared commitments to critical minerals and metals recovery and strengthen and secure domestic supply chains. We are honored to be included in this important group.

In September, our wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, RecycLiCo U.S. Mineral Recovery, Inc., entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with another MINAC founder, Alaska Energy Metals Corporation (AEMC) establishing a working relationship to assess the amenability of hydrometallurgical processing to refining of metal concentrates derived from the Nikolai deposit in Alaska. The deposit contains nickel and other critical metals, including copper, cobalt, chromium, and platinum. If successful, this partnership could result in the establishment of a co-located processing facility at the Nikolai site, contributing to a wholly American, secure supply chain for critical and strategic metals and substantial revenues for RecycLiCo.

Government Funding (In This Case, They Are Here to Help)

With the assistance of Penney Capital, we are currently preparing multiple applications for significant financial and logistical support from a number of government agencies including the U.S. Departments of Defense /War and Energy. The commitments of the Canadian and U.S. governments to the creation of circular domestic supply chains for critical minerals and metals are real and are being backed up by both one-off and programmatic funding opportunities. We are optimistic that the potential value of our participation will be recognized as funds are made available.

Current Financial Condition (Where We Stand)

For a detailed review of our financial condition, please see our audited annual financial statements for fiscal 2024, the interim financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2025, and the accompanying Management Discussions and Analyses (all posted on our website). As at September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $13.8 million in cash on hand. Our recurring monthly expenses currently average around $136,835. As I noted in January, our cash on hand would be sufficient to cover our current burn-rate for a considerable period of time, but the creation of real value will require additional investment. We expect to fund a substantial portion of these investments with the proceeds from government grants and cooperative funding, but will continue to leverage our lean structure and to balance the need to invest in growth opportunities with the preservation of our cash resources.

Going Forward (Renewing Our Vows)

We remain firmly focused on creating long-term value for our shareholders. We will continue to expand our participation in the current efforts to rethink and improve the ways critical minerals and metals are sourced, recovered, and reused. We remain excited about the opportunities ahead. As always, we are grateful to our employees for their hard work and to you for your continued support.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

All costs of solicitation by management will be borne by the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies personally, by telephone or facsimile, but will not receive compensation for so doing.

The Company has also retained Laurel Hill Advisory Group as its proxy solicitation agent and shareholder communications advisor to assist it in connection with communication with Shareholders. Shareholders who have questions about the information in this Circular or need assistance with voting may contact Laurel Hill Advisory Group by telephone at 1-877-452-7184 (toll free in North America) or 1-416-304-0211 (collect calls outside North America) or by email at [email protected].

Laurel Hill Advisory Group will assist the Company in its solicitation of proxies from Shareholders and provide additional services including but not limited to strategic securityholder communications and recommending corporate governance best practices. The Company has agreed to pay Laurel Hill Advisory Group a fee of $50,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, for these services.

Appointment of Proxyholder

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") are directors ("Directors") or officers ("Officers") of the Company and were designated by management of the Company (the "Management Proxyholder"). A shareholder wishing to appoint some other person who need not be a shareholder to represent the shareholder at the Meeting has the right to do so, by striking out the names of those persons named in the accompanying form of Proxy and inserting such other person's name in the blank space provided in the form of Proxy or by completing another form of Proxy.

Shareholders may wish to vote by Proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Shareholders electing to submit a Proxy may do so by completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of Proxy and returning it to the Company's transfer agent, Endeavor Trust Corporation by fax at 604-559-8908 or by mail or hand delivery to Endeavor Trust Corporation, #702 - 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4.

A Proxy will not be valid unless the completed, dated and signed form of Proxy is received by Endeavor Trust Corporation not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof.

Revocation of Proxy

A shareholder who has given a Proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing which is:


a) executed by the shareholder or by the shareholder's attorney authorized in writing or, where the shareholder is a company, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the company; and

b) delivered to either:

i) Endeavor Trust Corporation, #702 - 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4 at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or

ii) the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a Proxy. Non-registered holders who wish to change their vote must arrange for their respective Intermediaries (as defined below) to revoke the Proxy on their behalf. A revocation of a Proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxyholders

Shares represented by properly executed Proxies in favour of persons designated in the enclosed form of Proxy will, where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the form of Proxy, be voted in accordance with the specification made. In the absence of any such specification, the Proxy will be voted as recommended by Management. Where directions are given by the shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolution, the proxyholder will do so in accordance with such direction.

The enclosed form of proxy, when properly signed, confers discretionary authority upon the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters which may be properly brought before the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters, which are not now known to Management, should properly come before the Meeting, then the Management designees intend to vote in accordance with the judgment of Management.

Non-Registered Holders

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Company are "non-registered" shareholders ("Non-Registered Holders") because the shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of (a) a brokerage firm, bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or (b) a clearing agency such as CDS & Co. (any of the foregoing, an "Intermediary"). If you are a Non-Registered Holder, your shares can only be voted by the Intermediary in accordance with instructions received from you.

In accordance with securities regulatory policy, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice, this Information Circular and the Proxy (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to the Intermediaries for distribution to Non-Registered Holders. Each Intermediary has its own voting instruction form and mailing procedures. Objecting beneficial owners (as such term is defined under National Instrument 54-101) can expect to be contacted by Broadridge or their brokers or their broker's agents as set out above. The Company intends to pay for intermediaries to deliver the meeting materials to Objecting beneficial owners. Therefore, if you receive the Meeting Materials from an Intermediary, you should carefully review the voting instructions


provided by your Intermediary to ensure that you direct the voting of your shares in accordance with those instructions.

The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Investor Communications ("Broadridge"), who typically sends their own voting instruction form ("VIF") to Non-Registered Shareholders requesting them to provide voting instructions. Please note a Broadridge VIF cannot be used to vote directly at the Meeting. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder with a Broadridge VIF, you must follow the procedures set out by Broadridge, well in advance of the Meeting, for voting directly at the Meeting.

Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote as proxyholder for the registered shareholder should contact their Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting to determine the steps necessary to permit them to indirectly vote their Shares as a proxyholder.

The Company may use the Broadridge QuickVote™ service to assist Shareholders with voting their Company Shares. Certain Non-Registered Shareholders who have not objected to the Company knowing who they are (NOBOs) may be contacted by Laurel Hill Advisory Group, the Company's proxy solicitation agent and shareholder communications advisor, to conveniently obtain a vote directly over the telephone. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides the appropriate instructions with respect to the Company Shares to be represented at the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company's authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value (the "Shares"). As at October 28, 2025 (the "Record Date"), there were 258,994,127 Shares issued and outstanding. Each share carries the right to one vote.

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 specified herein, subject to the provisions described above, shall be entitled to vote or to have such shareholder's shares voted at the Meeting.

To the best of the knowledge of the Directors or executive Officers, no person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Shares.

DIRECTOR AND NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Compensation Governance

The Company has a Compensation Committee that consists of Paul Hildebrand, Kurt Lageschulte and Rod Langtry. All members of the Compensation Committee are independent (as defined in National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices), two are current or former directors and officers of other publicly traded companies and the third has been a director and executive officer of privately held companies, during which tenire they have reviewed and analyzed compensation levels and structures for both the Board and management. This provides them with the necessary experience that is relevant to such committee member's responsibilities in executive compensation to enable them to make decisions on the suitability of the Company's compensation practices and policies during the most recent fiscal year. The Compensation Committee has implemented a written charter outlining its responsibilities, powers and operation which may be found on the Company's website at recyclico.com.


7

Oversight and Determination of Compensation

The Board as a whole has the responsibility of determining compensation for directors and senior management. The Board determines the compensation package for each NEO (defined below) once a year. The Compensation Committee recommends levels of executive compensation that are competitive and motivating, commensurate with the time spent by executive officers in meeting their obligations and reflective of compensation paid by companies similar in size and business to the Company. Although no identifiable "peer group" is used as a compensation benchmark, the Board generally attempts to set each NEO's compensation to be commensurate with industry compensation of a similarly ranked executive. In general, the Company's NEOs (defined below) may receive compensation that is a combination of (i) salary, wages or contractor payments; (ii) stock option grants; and (iii) bonuses, if any. No element of compensation is tied to a specific goal or performance criteria.

Director & NEO Compensation, Excluding Securities

The following table sets forth the particulars of compensation, excluding stock options and other compensation securities, paid to Directors and NEOs for the Company's two most recently completed financial years. NEOs are comprised of:

a) each individual who, in respect of the company, during any part of the most recently completed financial year, served as chief executive officer ("CEO"), including an individual performing functions similar to a CEO;

b) each individual who, in respect of the company, during any part of the most recently completed financial year, served as chief financial officer ("CFO"), including an individual performing functions similar to a CFO;

c) in respect of the Company and its subsidiaries, the most highly compensated executive officer other than the individuals identified in paragraphs (a) and (b) at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was more than $150,000, as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(5) of Form 51-102F6V, for that financial year; and

d) each individual who would be a NEO under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was not an executive officer of the company, and was not acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.

The Board will determine, at the time of granting the particular Option, the period during which the Option is exercisable, commencing on the date such Option is granted to the Eligible Participant and ending as specified in the Omnibus Plan, or in the Option agreement, but in no event will an Option expire on a date which is later than ten (10) years from the date it is granted. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all unexercised Options shall be cancelled at their expiry.

The vesting provisions of Options will be determined by the Board but the Options in a grant to an Investor Relations Service Provider must vest in stages over 12 months with no more than one-quarter of the Options vesting in any three-month period.

The Board determines the exercise price, which: i) may not be less than the discounted market price. If no news release is made, the discounted market price is the last closing price before the grant date less any applicable discount; ii) if Shares were suspended or halted before the grant date, the price is set after 10 trading days once a satisfactory market is established; iii) if the Option is granted within 90 days of a prospectus distribution, the minimum exercise price is the greater of the discounted market price and the public investors' per Share price; and iv) in all other cases, the price follows the applicable Securities Laws and regulatory bodies.


10

Share Units

The Board sets the expiry date for any Share Unit to be granted, provided that the term may not be more than 3 years.

The vesting schedule for Share Units is determined by the Board but may be no earlier than one year after the Share Unit's date of grant. In addition to the vesting schedule, performance conditions for each share unit may be set by the Board and these conditions must be met before the share units can be settled by the Company.

DSUs

The Board may allow Non-Executive Directors to have their director fees, in part or in whole, satisfied with DSUs instead of cash. The expiry date of each DSU will be set by the Board provided that the term may not be more than one year after the participant's termination date. DSUs may not vest until one year after issuance.

SAR

The Board sets the expiry date for SARs, which may not vest until one year after its issuance.

Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant will receive an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise, minus the grant price of the SAR which must not be less its Fair Market Value on the date of grant. At the Board's discretion, payment of a SAR exercise may be made in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or some combination thereof.

Awards may terminate as follows:

(i) immediately in the event of dismissal with cause;

(ii) the earlier of 30 days from date of termination other than for cause or the original expiry date of such Awards in the event of termination other than for cause

(iii) the earlier of 12 months after termination date in the event of termination due to disability or the original expiry date of such Awards in the event of terminalisation due to disability

(iv) the earlier of 12 months from the date of death or the original expiry date of such Awards in the event of death. Any heir, personal representative or administrator of the Participant's estate must make any claim to the Participant's outstanding Awards within 12 months of the Participant's death.

Awards granted under the Omnibus Plan are not transferable or assignable and may only be exercised by the Participant to whom the Award was granted, or upon death by a legal representative, heir or administrator of the Participant. Any Award that has been settled in cash (except for Options exercised using the "net exercise" or "cashless exercise" method), cancelled, terminated, surrendered, forfeited or expired without being exercised, and pursuant to which no securities have been issued, will continue to be issuable under this Omnibus Plan. Each Award issued under the Omnibus Plan must be evidenced by an award agreement which will subject to the applicable provisions of the Omnibus Plan.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

The Board will consist of five Directors, all of whom are independent except for Richard Sadowsky (who is the Company's Interim CEO). None of the other Directors or proposed Directors is: (i) an Officer or employee of the Company; (ii) a party to a material contract with the Company or has a material interest in a transaction involving the Company; or (iii) the recipient of remuneration from the Company other than the compensation disclosed herein.

Directorships

As at the date hereof, the following Directors are also directors of other reporting issuers as set out below:

Director Name of Reporting Issuer
Andris Kikauka MGX Minerals Inc.
Kurt Lageschulte The PMI Group, Inc.
Penn Treaty American Corp.
Rob Chang Ur-Energy Inc.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board provides ad hoc orientation for new directors. All Directors receive a Director's manual containing a record of historical public information about the Company, copies of the Company's charters and other relevant information. The Board also arranges meetings with management to provide a review of the nature and operations of the Company.

The Board provides continuing education for directors on an ad hoc basis in respect of issues that are necessary for them to understand to meet their obligations as directors. All of the Directors are actively involved in their respective areas of expertise, and they are encouraged to keep themselves current with industry trends and changes in legislation by liaising with management and the Company's counsel, attending industry-related events and other educational seminars. The cost of continuing education activities will be borne by the Company.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted and maintains a code of ethics which is applicable to the Company's Directors, Officers and employees. The purpose of the code is to provide guidance and to prohibit unethical behavior with respect to issues such as conflicts of interest, confidentiality, whistleblowing, protection of corporate assets and opportunities, and compliance with laws and regulations. Furthermore, Directors are frequently reminded to consider whether they are in a conflict of interest by virtue of serving as directors or officers in other companies or holding an interest in a transaction or agreement. A Director in such circumstances is advised to disclose his or her interest in a transaction or agreement, and if the Board considers the interest to be material, such Director must abstain from discussing and voting on the matter.

Nomination of Directors

Given the small size of the Company and its stage of development, the Board has not appointed a nomination committee or put in place formal procedure for the identification of potential Board candidates. Since the size of the Board is limited, the functions of such a committee can be served by the Board as a whole.


13

Compensation

The Board as a whole determines the compensation of the Directors and the CEO. In setting compensation, the Board is guided by the nature of the Company's business, the Company's size and stage of development, current industry practices and the resources available to provide compensation. The Board will from time to time seek out the compensation policies of other comparable companies to ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain its directors and officers. Currently, it is the Board's policy to compensate its Directors and CEO with equity options in order to align the interest of Directors with those of the Company's shareholders.

Other Board Committees

The Company has no committees other than its Audit and Compensation Committees at this time.

Assessments

Members of the Board are expected to continually evaluate the effectiveness of the Board, its committees and fellow Directors by considering the accomplishment, or lack thereof, of the Company's goals. Furthermore, the Board is of the view that the Company's shareholders are the most important assessors of Board performance and that they provide the most effective, objective assessment of the Board's performance.

(a) the exercise price shall not be less than the Discounted Market Price, provided that if a news release was not disseminated to announce the grant and the exercise price of an Option, the Discounted Market Price is the last closing price of the Shares before the grant date of the Option less the applicable discount;

(b) if the Shares had been suspended or halted just before the grant date, the exercise price shall not be set until the Exchange has determined that a satisfactory market has been established, which at minimum must be at least 10 Trading Days from the date on which trading in the Issuer's securities resumes;

(c) if the Option is granted within 90 days of a Distribution by a Prospectus, the minimum exercise price per Share shall be the greater of the Discounted Market Price and the per Share price paid by the public investors for Shares acquired under the Distribution; and

(d) in all other cases, the exercise price shall be determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the applicable Securities Laws and regulatory bodies.

1.3 Vesting of Options. The Board may establish a vesting period for each Option, but the Options in a grant to an Investor Relations Service Provider must vest in stages over 12 months with no more than one-quarter of the Options vesting in any three-month period.

1.4 Acceleration of Unvested Options. In the event of a takeover bid or a change of control (as defined by Exchange policies at such time), the Board may in its discretion determine that all outstanding Options, except for those Options granted to Investor Relations Service Providers for which the prior written approval of the Exchange must be obtained, will immediately vest and if not immediately exercised, such Options will be terminated on the tender date for the takeover bid or on the date that the change of control will be completed.

1.5 Manner of Exercise. A Participant who wishes to exercise his Option, in its entirety or any portion thereof, must execute and deliver the notice of exercise contained in his Option agreement, and furnish payment in accordance with the instructions in such Option agreement.

1.6 Net Exercise and Cash Exercise. Subject to the prior approval of the Board, a Participant may elect to exercise an Option by performing:

(a) a "net exercise" procedure in which the Issuer issues to the Participant (which shall not include any Investor Relations Service Provider) that number of Shares equal to the result determined by dividing (i) the product of the number of Options being exercised multiplied by the difference between the VWAP of the underlying Shares and the exercise price of the subject Options by (ii) the VWAP of the underlying Shares; or

26


(b) a broker assisted “cashless exercise” in which the Issuer delivers a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker engaged for such purposes by the Issuer to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Options and to deliver promptly to the Issuer an amount equal to the exercise price and all applicable required withholding obligations as determined by the Issuer against delivery of the Shares to settle the applicable trade.

Participants wishing to perform either the “net exercise” or the “cashless exercise” procedure, set forth above, must deliver to the Issuer (i) a written notice of exercise specifying that the Participant has elected to effect such a cashless exercise of such Option, the method of cashless exercise, and the number of Options to be exercised and (ii) the payment of an amount for any tax withholding or remittance obligations of the Participant or the Issuer arising under applicable law and verified by the Issuer to its satisfaction (or by entering into some other arrangement acceptable to the Issuer in its discretion, if any). Such Participant must also comply with any applicable withholding obligations set out in this Plan, along with such other procedures and policies as the Issuer may prescribe or determine to be necessary or advisable from time to time.

In the event of a “net exercise” or “cashless exercise”, the number of Options exercised, surrendered or converted, and not the number of Shares actually issued by the Issuer, must be included in calculating the limits set forth in sections 3.1, 3.3 and 10.8 of this Plan.

1.7 Option Amendment. Any amendment to the following terms must be approved by the Exchange prior to the exercise of such Options:

(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price of an Option may be amended only if at least six (6) months have elapsed since the later of:

(i) the date of grant; or

(ii) the date of the last amendment of the exercise price.

(b) Term. An Option must be outstanding for at least one year before the Issuer may extend its term. The term of an Option cannot be extended so that the effective term of the Option exceeds 10 years in total. Any extension of the length of the term of the Option is treated as a grant of a new Option, which must comply with pricing and other requirements of this Plan.

Part 5. SHARE UNITS

5.1 Term of Share Unit. The Board shall set the expiry date for any Share Unit to be granted, provided that the term must not be more than 3 years or such other period as may be required to avoid the Share Unit being deemed a “salary deferral arrangement” as defined in section 248(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

5.2 Vesting of Share Units. For each Share Unit being granted, the Board shall establish a vesting schedule which must be no earlier than one year after the Share Unit’s date of grant.

5.3 Performance Conditions. In addition to the vesting schedule, the Board may set conditions (“Performance Conditions”) for each Share Unit which must be met before the Share Unit

27


can be settled. Such Performance Conditions may include achieving business metrics such as a target stock price or target earnings per share, and the Performance Condition may specify that the Participant earns more Share Units if the actual results exceed the target business metric. Performance Conditions need not be uniform amongst Participants. If a Performance Condition requires an objective being met by a certain date, the Share Unit shall be cancelled and nullified if such Performance Condition is not met by the specified date.

5.4 Settlement of Share Units. Provided a Share Unit has vested and all Performance Conditions (if any) for such Share Unit have been met, the Issuer shall settle the Share Unit by issuing the Participant, in the Issuer's sole discretion over which choice, one of the following:

(a) one Share;
(b) Cash Equivalent of one Share; or
(c) combination of Shares and Cash Equivalent, provided that more than one Share Unit is being settled and the Issuer is designating a portion of the aggregated Share Units to be settled with Shares.

Unless specified otherwise in the Share Unit agreement, the settlement date shall be the third Business Day after the date on which all vesting and applicable Performance Conditions have been satisfied.

Part 6. DEFERRED SHARE UNITS

6.1 Grant of DSUs. From time to time, the Board may allow Non-Executive Directors to have their director fees, in part or in whole, satisfied with DSUs instead of cash. On such occasion, the Board shall provide the Participant with a DSU agreement which specifies the maximum amount of director fees that may be satisfied with DSUs, and contains a form whereby the Participant can elect the amount of fees to be satisfied with DSUs. The date of grant for a DSU shall be the date on which the Participant completes and executes the applicable DSU agreement.

6.2 Term of DSUs. The Board shall set the expiry date for any DSU to be granted, provided that the term must not be more than one year after the Participant's Termination Date.

6.3 Vesting. DSUs shall not vest until one year after its issuance.

6.4 Settlement of DSUs. The Issuer shall settle a vested DSU by issuing the Participant, in the Issuer's sole discretion over which choice, one of the following:

(a) one Share;
(b) Cash Equivalent of one Share; or
(c) combination of Shares and Cash Equivalent, provided that more than one DSU is being settled and the Issuer is designating a portion of the aggregated DSUs to be settled with Shares.

28


Unless specified otherwise in the DSU agreement, the settlement date shall be the third Business Day after the Participant's Termination Date.

Part 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

7.1 Term of SARs. The Board shall set the expiry date for any SAR to be granted, provided that the term must be a time period which will not result in the SAR being deemed a "salary deferral arrangement" as such term is defined in section 248(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

7.2 Vesting. SARs shall not vest until one year after its issuance.

7.3 Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant will receive an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise, minus the grant price of the SAR which must not be less its Fair Market Value on the date of grant. At the Board's discretion, payment of a SAR exercise may be made in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or some combination thereof.

Part 8. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

8.1 Issuance of Dividend Equivalents. If the Issuer declares a cash dividend on its Shares, the Board may in its discretion provide each Participant holding Share Units and/or DSUs with dividend equivalents in the form of additional Share Units and DSUs. Such dividend equivalents shall be computed by:

(a) multiplying the amount of the dividend per Share by the aggregate number of Share Units and DSUs held by the Participant on the record date for the payment of such dividend (the "Dividend Payment Date"); and

(b) dividing the amount calculated per subsection (a) above by the Market Price on the Dividend Payment Date, or the first Business Day immediately after if the Dividend Payment Date is not a Trading Day.

Any additional Share Units credited to a Participant's account as a dividend equivalent shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and Performance Conditions) as the Share Units from which the dividend equivalents arise. In the event that the Participant's applicable Share Units do not vest, all dividend equivalents associated with such Share Units will be forfeited by the Participant.

8.2 Cash Settlement. If the issuance of dividend equivalents will cause the Issuer to exceed the permissible number of Awards that can be granted under this Plan, including those contained in section 3.1 or 3.3, the Issuer shall pay out in cash such portion of the dividend equivalents as is necessary to comply with this Plan's limits on the number of Awards that can be granted at a particular time.

8.3 No Obligation. Nothing in this Part 8 should be construed as imposing an obligation on the Board to provide dividend equivalents to a Participant.

29


Part 9. ADJUSTMENTS

9.1 Adjustment for Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, if a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person, the term of the Participant's outstanding Awards, if any, shall be adjusted as follows:

(a) Termination For Cause. If the Issuer terminates the Participant's employment, engagement or directorship for cause, such Participant's outstanding Awards shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled without further act or compensation, and any and all rights of such Participant with respect to and arising from this Plan shall terminate as of the Termination Date without regard to any period of reasonable notice or any salary continuance, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

(b) Termination Without Cause or Resignation. If the Issuer terminates the Participant's employment, engagement or directorship for any reason other than for cause, or if the Participant resigns from the Issuer, such Participant's outstanding Awards must expire on the earlier of (i) 30 days after the Termination Date, and (ii) the original expiry date of such Awards.

(c) Death. If a Participant dies, such Participant's outstanding Awards must expire on the earlier of (i) 12 months after death, and (ii) the original expiry date of such Awards. Any heir, personal representative or administrator of the Participant's estate must make any claim to the Participant's outstanding Awards within 12 months of the Participant's death.

(d) Disability. If a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person due to Disability, such Participant's outstanding Awards must expire on the earlier of (i) 12 months after the Termination Date, and (ii) the original expiry date of such Awards.

9.2 Adjustment for Capital Alterations.

(a) If the Board deems it advisable and equitable in the circumstances, the Board shall, subject to the prior acceptance of the Exchange except in the case of a share consolidation or split, in its sole and absolute discretion make proportional adjustments and/or substitutions to:

(i) the number and kind of Shares or other securities or property to be reserved or allotted for issuance for any outstanding Awards, or

(ii) the exercise price for the Shares issuable for any outstanding Awards,

following a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any share consolidation or split, reclassification or other capital reorganization, or a stock dividend, arrangement, amalgamation, merger or combination, or any other change to, event affecting, exchange of or corporate change or transaction affecting the Shares, including, without limitation, a sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer's assets. Such adjustments shall be made, to the extent possible, proportionately and with a view to preserving the rights of the Participants.

30


9.3 Adjustment for Blackout Period. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, if the expiry date of an Award falls within a Blackout Period, such expiry date will be postponed to a date which is 10 Business Days after the expiry of the Blackout Period, provided:

(a) the Issuer has formally imposed the Blackout Period; and
(b) neither the Participant nor the Issuer is subject to a cease trade order (or similar order under Securities Laws) with respect to the Issuer's securities.

9.4 Adjustments Upon Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan and subject to prior Exchange approval, in the event of a potential or actual Change of Control, the Board may in its sole discretion:

(a) accelerate, conditionally or otherwise, the vesting date of any Award;
(b) permit the conditional redemption or exercise of any Award;
(c) terminate any Award after the successful completion of a Change of Control, provided that such Award was granted before the Change of Control;
(d) otherwise amend or modify the terms of any Awards.

9.5 Uncompleted Change of Control. In the event that the Board has taken action under section 9.4 and the Change of Control does not occur, the Board may in its sole discretion reverse or nullify its actions taken under section 9.4. For greater certainty, such reversal or nullification of actions include cancelling Shares or Share Units, reinstating Awards and nullifying agreements.

9.6 No Fractional Shares. If a fractional Share is issuable upon the exercise or settlement of an Award or as a result of a Capital Alteration Adjustment, such fractional Share shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number at the Board's sole discretion and without compensation to the Participation for such rounding off.

Part 10. ADMINISTRATION AND COMPLIANCE

10.1 Administration of Plan. This Plan will be administered by the Board, who has the sole and complete authority to make and implement all decisions relating to this Plan and any Award granted hereunder, subject to regulatory approval including Exchange acceptance.

10.2 Determination Binding. Except as may be otherwise set forth in any written employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Issuer and the Participant, any decision made or action taken by the Board is final, conclusive and binding on the affected parties.

10.3 Amend or Terminate Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate this Plan or any portion at any time in accordance with applicable Securities Laws, subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approval, but no such amendment, suspension or termination shall alter or impair an Award or a right previously granted to a Participant without the

31


consent of such Participant. If this Plan is terminated, the provisions of this Plan and any administration guidelines, rules and regulations adopted by the Board and in force prior to the termination of this Plan, shall continue in effect during such time as the Award or rights previously granted to Participants remain outstanding.

10.4 Applicable Laws. This Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards hereunder and the Issuer's obligation to issue and deliver Shares upon exercise or settlement of Awards, shall be subject to all applicable Securities Laws and all applicable federal, state, provincial and foreign laws, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may, in the opinion of Issuer's counsel, be required. The Issuer shall not be obliged to issue, deliver or sell Shares in violation of such laws, rules and regulations or any condition of such approvals aforementioned.

10.5 No Registration. No Award shall be granted and no Share shall be issued or delivered upon exercise or settlement of an Award where such grant, issue or delivery would require registration (under the securities laws of any foreign jurisdiction) of this Plan, any Award or any Share. Any purported grant of Award or issue or delivery of Share in violation of this provision shall be void.

10.6 Resale Restrictions. The Shares issued to Participants upon exercise of Options may be subject to Resale Restrictions under applicable Securities Laws, and the Board shall ensure that all matters pertaining to the Options and the Shares issued thereunder shall be made in compliance with applicable Securities Laws, including but not limited to the placing of legends on Shares. If any of the conditions stated in the definition of Exchange Hold Period is met, the Option certificate and any share certificates issued pursuant to the exercise of such Option (before the expiry of the Exchange Hold Period) must be legended with the prescribed legend set out in Policy 3.2 of the Manual.

10.7 Tax Compliance.

(a) The Issuer is authorized to perform any act required to ensure that the Participant and the Issuer is in compliance with all Applicable Laws relating to tax which is payable in connection with the grant, exercise or settlement of an Award, including but not limited to the following:

(i) deduct or withhold amounts from a Participant's remuneration or from a cash settlement;

(ii) withhold Share Units or DSUs during settlement;

(iii) sell some of the Shares that were to be issued to the Participant, and remit the proceeds to the appropriate tax authority;

(iv) require Participants to deliver undertakings or indemnities in favour of the Issuer with respect to the payment of taxes.

(b) If the Issuer decides, for tax compliance purposes, to sell Shares that were to be issued to a Participant in a settlement, such Participant is deemed to have consented to such sale and to have granted the Issuer an irrevocable power of attorney to effect the sale. The Issuer shall have sole discretion over the timing and manner of sale,

32


and shall not be obliged to seek or obtain a minimum price. All selling costs will be borne by the Participant and shall be deducted from the gross proceeds. The Issuer will not be liable for any loss whatsoever arising out of such sale of the Shares, including any loss relating to the pricing, manner or timing of the sale or any delay in transferring any Shares to a Participant or otherwise.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer assumes no responsibility for any taxes owing by the Participant.

10.8 Disinterested Shareholder Approval:

(a) If any provision of this Plan requires “disinterested shareholder approval”, the grant, issue or amendment must be approved by majority of the votes cast by Shareholders at the Shareholder meeting, excluding votes attached to Shares beneficially owned by:

(i)
(A) the Persons that hold or will hold the Award in question; or
(B) Insiders to whom Award may be granted under the Security Based Compensation Plan;

(ii) Associates and Affiliates of the Persons referenced in subsection (i)(A) or (i)(B) above, as the case may be.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Part 6 of Policy 4.4 in the Manual, the Issuer must obtain disinterested shareholder approval for:

(i) a Security Based Compensation Plan, if such plan, together with all of the Issuer’s other previously established and outstanding Security Based Compensation Plans and grants or issuances of Awards (excluding grants or issuances under Part 6), could result at any time in:

(A) the aggregate number of Shares that are issuable pursuant to all Awards granted or issued to Insiders (as a group) exceeding 10% of issued and outstanding Shares at any point in time;
(B) the aggregate number of Shares that are issuable pursuant to all Awards granted or issued in any 12-month period to Insiders (as a group) exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares, calculated as at the date any Award is granted or issued to any Insider; or
(C) the aggregate number of Shares that are issuable pursuant to all Awards granted or issued in any 12-month period to any one Eligible Person exceeding 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares, calculated as at the date any Award is granted or issued to the Eligible Person;

(ii) any individual Award grant or issue that would result in any of the limits set forth in section 10.8(b)(i) being exceeded;

(iii) any amendment to Options held by Insiders that would have the effect of decreasing the exercise price or extending the exercise term of such Options;

33


(iv) any amendment to an Award that results in a benefit to an Insider, and for further clarity, "amendment" includes the cancellation of an Award and the re-issuance of the same or similar Award to the same Person within a year.

(c) If the Issuer proposes to grant stock options which are exercisable into a class of non-voting or subordinate voting securities, the holders of that class of securities must be given full voting rights on a resolution that requires disinterested shareholder approval with respect to a proposed stock option plan, grant or amendment.

Part 11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Superseding Plan. This Plan supersedes and replaces any previous Securities Based Compensation Plan of the Issuer. Any Award granted by the Issuer before the effective date of this Plan shall remain a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, but governed by this Plan.

11.2 No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Plan nor in any Option granted hereunder shall be deemed to give any Participant any interest or title in or to any Shares or any right as a shareholder of the Issuer or any other legal or equitable right against the Issuer whatsoever, other than as set out in this Plan and upon exercise of any Option.

11.3 No Right to Employment or Office. Nothing contained in the Plan will confer upon or imply in favour of any Participant any right with respect to office, employment or provision of services with the Issuer, or interfere in any way with the right of the Issuer to lawfully terminate the Participant's office, employment or service at any time pursuant to the arrangements pertaining to same.

11.4 Exclusion from Severance Allowance, Retirement Allowance or Termination Settlement. The loss or limitation of any right or interest provided by this Plan shall not give rise to any right to damages and shall not be included in the calculation of nor form any part of any severance allowance, retiring allowance or termination settlement of any kind whatsoever in respect of such Participant.

11.5 No Representation or Warranty. The Issuer makes no representation or warranty as to the future market value of Shares issued in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or to the tax consequences to a Participant in connection with the grant or exercise of an Award. Compliance with Securities Laws as to the disclosure and resale obligations of each Participant is the responsibility of such Participant and not the Issuer.

11.6 Other Arrangements. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to any required approval.

11.7 Paramountcy of Plan. Subject to specific variations approved by the Board, all terms and conditions set out herein will be deemed to be incorporated into and form part of any Award agreement between the Issuer and a Participant. In the event of any discrepancy between this Plan and an Award agreement, the provisions of this Plan shall govern.
