INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(As at October 28, 2025, except as indicated)

Badger Capital Corp. (the "Company") is providing this information circular (the "Information Circular") and a form of proxy in connection with management's solicitation of proxies for use at the annual general meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") to be held on Friday, November 28, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) and at any adjournments and postponements thereof. The Company will conduct its solicitation by mail and officers and employees of the Company may, without receiving special compensation, also telephone or make other personal contact. The Company will pay the cost of solicitation.

All dollar amounts referenced herein are expressed in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a Shareholder's behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the Shareholder in the proxy. The persons whose names are printed in the enclosed form of proxy are officers or directors of the Company (the "Management Proxyholders").

A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than a Management Proxyholder, to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders and by inserting the desired person's name in the blank space provided or by executing a proxy in a form similar to the enclosed form. A proxyholder need not be a Shareholder.

VOTING BY PROXY

Only registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Common shares of the Company ("Shares") represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted or be withheld from voting on each matter referred to in the Notice of Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.

If a Shareholder does not specify a choice and the Shareholder has appointed one of the Management Proxyholders as proxyholder, the Management Proxyholder will vote in favour of the matters specified in the Notice of Meeting and in favour of all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.

The enclosed form of proxy also gives discretionary authority to the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the


  • 2 -

date of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

COMPLETION AND RETURN OF PROXY

Proxies to be used at the Meeting must be deposited with the Company, c/o the Company's transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company, 350 - 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1T2, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on November 26, 2025, or no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) prior to the date on which the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof is held. See also the form of proxy for instructions as to the use of internet voting.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only registered Shareholders or persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Registered Shareholders are holders of the Company whose names appear on the Share register of the Company and are not held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased Shares. Whether or not you are able to attend the Meeting, Shareholders are requested to vote their proxy in accordance with the instructions on the proxy. Most Shareholders are "non-registered" Shareholders ("Non-Registered Shareholders") because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but instead registered in the name of a nominee (a "Nominee") such as a brokerage firm through which they purchased the Shares. The Company's Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of their Shares of the Company (Intermediaries include, among others, 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 or The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

There are two kinds of beneficial owners: those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called "OBOs" for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object (called "NOBOs" for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners).

The Company is not sending the Meeting materials directly to NOBOs in connection with the Meeting, but rather has distributed copies of the Meeting materials to the Nominees for distribution to NOBOs. The Company does not intend to pay for Nominees to deliver the Meeting materials and Form 54-101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary to OBOs. As a result, OBOs will not receive the Meeting materials unless their Nominee assumes the costs of delivery.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

The Company is not sending the Meeting materials to Shareholders using "notice-and-access", as defined under National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer.


  • 3 -

REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Shareholder, his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, a corporation under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, may revoke a proxy by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company is authorized to issue unlimited Shares without par value, of which 12,000,100 Shares are issued and outstanding as at the record date of October 28, 2025 (the "Record Date"). Persons who are registered Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting and will be entitled to one vote for each Share held.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, no person beneficially owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, voting securities of the Company carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of the Company, except the following:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

Corporate governance relates to the activities of 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 charged with the day to day management of the Company. The Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") have adopted National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition, the CSA have implemented National Instrument 58-101- Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101"), which prescribes certain disclosure by the Company of its corporate governance practices. This disclosure is presented below.

Board of Directors

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company's management through frequent meetings of the Board.

Benjamin Curry and James A. Currie are "independent" in that each are independent and free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act with the best interests of the Company, other than the interests and relationships arising from being shareholders of the Company. Neil Currie is the President, CEO, CFO, and Corporate Secretary of the Company. John Arlen Hansen holds, directly and indirectly, more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board briefs all new directors with respect to the policies of the Board and other relevant corporate and business information. The Board does not provide any continuing education.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Nomination of Directors

The Company does not have a formal process or committee for proposing new nominees for election to the Board. The nominees proposed are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the members of the Board, including both formal and informal discussions among the members of the Board.

Compensation

The Board has not created or appointed a compensation committee given the Company’s current size and stage of development. All tasks related to developing and monitoring the Company’s approach to the compensation of the Company’s NEOs and directors are performed by the members of the Board. The compensation of the NEOs, directors and the Company’s employees or consultants, if any, is reviewed, recommended and approved by the Board without reference to any specific formula or criteria.

Other Board Committees

The Board has no other committees other than the Audit Committee.

Assessments

The Board regularly monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communications between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and its committees.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

ARTICLE THREE

STOCK OPTION PLAN

Section 3.01 The Stock Option Plan and Participants. This Stock Option Plan is hereby established for Participants.

Section 3.02 Option Notice or Agreement. Each Option granted to a Participant may be evidenced by a stock option notice or stock option agreement setting out terms and conditions consistent with the


provisions of this Stock Option Plan, which terms and conditions need not be the same in each case and which terms and conditions may be changed from time to time.

Section 3.03 Exercise Price. The price per share (the "Exercise Price") at which any Common Share which is the subject of an Option may be purchased shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted, provided that, if the Common Shares are then listed on a Stock Exchange, the Exercise Price shall be not less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the Stock Exchange on the last trading day immediately preceding the date of the grant of such Option less the maximum discount, if any, permitted by the Stock Exchange or, if the Common Shares are not then listed on any stock exchange, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Common Shares as may be determined by the Directors on the day immediately preceding the date of the grant of such Option. If the Common Shares are then listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, disinterested shareholder approval shall be required for any reduction in the Exercise Price of any Option if the Optionee is an Insider of the Corporation at the time of the proposed amendment to the Exercise Price.

Section 3.04 Term of Option. The Option Period for each Option shall be such period of time as shall be determined by the Committee, provided that in no event shall an Option Period exceed ten years. Notwithstanding the definition of Option Period contained herein or the foregoing, the expiration date of an Option will be the date fixed by the Directors with respect to such Option unless such expiration date falls within a Blackout Period in which case the expiration date of the Option will be the date which is ten Business Days after the Blackout Period Expiry Date provided that neither the Optionee nor the Corporation is subject to a cease trade order or similar order in respect of the Corporation's securities. If the Common Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, disinterested shareholder approval shall be required for the extension of any Option Period if the Optionee is an Insider of the Corporation at the time of the proposed amendment to the Option Period.

Section 3.05 Lapsed Options. If Options granted under this Stock Option Plan are surrendered, terminate or expire without being exercised in whole or in part, new Options may be granted covering the Common Shares not purchased under such lapsed Options (or such lapsed stock options).

Section 3.06 Limit on Options to be Exercised. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein Options may be exercised by the Optionee in whole at any time, or in part from time to time (in each case to the nearest full Common Share), during the Option Period only in accordance with the vesting schedule, if any, determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to the applicable requirements of the Stock Exchange, at the time of the grant of the Option, which vesting schedule may include performance vesting or acceleration of vesting in certain circumstances and which may be amended or changed by the Committee from time to time with respect to a particular Option. If the Committee does not determine a vesting schedule at the time of the grant of any particular Option, such Option shall be exercisable in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, during the Option Period, subject to the applicable requirements of the Stock Exchange. In the event that the Common Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, Options granted to Insiders or Consultants or with an Exercise Price based on the Discounted Market Price (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange), and the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, shall be subject to the restricted period and legending requirements imposed by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange of a four month hold period commending on the date of grant.

Section 3.07 Participants on Exercise. An Option may be exercised by the Optionee in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, during the Option Period, provided however that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3.10 or Section 3.11 thereof, no Option may be exercised unless the Optionee at the time of exercise thereof is a Participant.


Section 3.08 Payment of Exercise Price. The issue of Common Shares on the exercise of any Option shall be contingent upon receipt by the Corporation of payment of the aggregate purchase price for the Common Shares in respect of which the Option has been exercised delivering to the registered office of the Corporation a completed notice of exercise together with payment in the form of:

(a) by cash or certified cheque; or
(b) whereby the Corporation has an arrangement with a brokerage firm pursuant to which the broker will loan the Participant to purchase the underlying Common Shares (the "Cashless Exercise") and the broker will then sell the number of Common Shares to cover the Exercise Price to repay the loan made to the Participant. The brokerage firm receives an equivalent number of Common Shares from the Exercise of the Option and the Participant receives the balance of the Common Shares or cash proceeds from the balance of such Common Shares; or
(c) whereby Options excluding Options held by Investor Services Providers are exercised without the Participant making any cash payment to the Corporation ("Net Exercise") and the Participant receives only the number of Common Shares that are equal to the quotient calculated by dividing:

(i) the number of Options being exercised multiplied by the difference between the VWAP of the underlying Common Shares and the Exercise Price of the Options by;
(ii) the VWAP of the underlying Common Shares.

Example

(iii)

$$
# \text{Common Shares} \times (\text{VWAP} - \text{Exercise Price}) = # \text{Common Shares}
$$

In the event of a Cashless Exercise or Net Exercise, the number of Options exercised, surrendered or converted, and not the number of Common Shares actually issued by the Corporation, must be included in calculating the limits of the Stock Option Plan. No Optionee or legal representative, legatee or distributee of any Optionee will be, or will be deemed to be, a holder of any Common Shares with respect to which such Optionee was granted an Option, unless and until certificates for such Common Shares are issued to such Optionee, or them, under the terms of this Stock Option Plan. Subject to Section 3.12 hereof, upon an Optionee exercising an Option and paying the Corporation the aggregate purchase price for the Common Shares in respect of which the Option has been exercised, including a Cashless Exercise or Net Exercise, the Corporation shall as soon as practicable thereafter issue and deliver a certificate representing the Common Shares so purchased.

Section 3.09 Acceleration on Take-over Bid, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In the event that:

(a) the Corporation seeks or intends to seek approval from the shareholders of the Corporation for a transaction which, if completed, would constitute an Acceleration Event (as defined below); or


(b) a person makes a bona fide offer or proposal to the Corporation or the shareholders of the Corporation which, if accepted or completed, would constitute an Acceleration Event,

the Corporation may send notice to all Optionees of such transaction, offer or proposal and, provided that the Committee has determined that no adjustment will be made pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof, (i) the Committee may, by resolution and notwithstanding any vesting schedule applicable to any Option or Section 3.06 hereof, permit all Options outstanding (except in the case of an Investor Relations Service Provider wherein written approval from the TSX Venture Exchange must be obtained) which have restrictions on their exercise to become immediately exercisable during the period specified in the notice (but in no event later than the applicable expiry date of an Option), so that the Optionee may participate in such transaction, offer or proposal, and (ii) the Committee may accelerate the expiry date of such Options and the time for the fulfillment of any conditions or restrictions on such exercise to an earlier date chosen by the Committee in their unfettered discretion.

In this Section 3.09, an Acceleration Event means:

(a) the acquisition by any "offeror" (as defined in National Instrument 62-104 Takeover Bids and Issuer Bids) of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the votes attached to the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation, by means of a take-over bid or otherwise;

(b) any consolidation, merger, statutory amalgamation or arrangement involving the Corporation and pursuant to which the Corporation will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which the Common Shares will be converted into cash or securities or property of another entity, other than a transaction involving the Corporation and in which the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to the completion of the transaction will have the same proportionate ownership of the surviving corporation immediately after the completion of the transaction;

(c) a separation of the business of the Corporation into two or more entities;

(d) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another entity; or

(e) the approval by the shareholders of the Corporation of any plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation.

Section 3.10 Effect of Death. If a Participant shall die, any outstanding Option held by such Participant at the date of such death shall become immediately exercisable notwithstanding Section 3.06 hereof, and shall be exercisable in whole or in part only by the person or persons to whom the rights of the Optionee under the Option shall pass by the will of the Optionee or the laws of descent and distribution for a period of 12 months after the date of death of the Optionee or prior to the expiration of the Option Period in respect of the Option, whichever is earlier, and then only to the extent that such Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of the death of such Optionee in accordance with Sections 3.06, 3.07 and 3.11 thereof.

Section 3.11 Effect of Termination of Engagement. If a Participant shall:

(a) cease to be a Director, Officer, Employee, Consultant or Management Company Employee of the Corporation or of a Affiliate, as the case may be (and is not or does not continue to be an employee thereof), for any reason (other than death); (referred to herein as a "Termination"), such Participant may, but only within the 90 days succeeding such Termination, exercise the Options to the extent that such Participant was entitled to


exercise such Options at the date of such Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing in no event shall such right extend beyond the Option Period or one year from the date of Termination.

Section 3.12 Eligible Charitable Organizations. If the Participant ceases to be an eligible Participant due to no longer being an Eligible Charitable Organization, the vested Options then held by that Participant shall be exercisable at any time up to but not after the earlier of the expiration of the Option Period and the date which is 90 days after the date the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Charitable Organization.

Section 3.13 Necessary Approvals. The obligation of the Corporation to issue and deliver any Common Shares in accordance with this Stock Option Plan shall be subject to any necessary approval of any stock exchange or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the securities of the Corporation. If any Common Shares cannot be issued to any Participant upon the exercise of an Option for whatever reason, the obligation of the Corporation to issue such Common Shares shall terminate and any exercise price paid to the Corporation in respect of the exercise of such Option shall be returned to the Participant.

ARTICLE FOUR

WITHHOLDING TAXES AND SECURITIES LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Section 4.01 Withholding Taxes. The Corporation or any Affiliate may take such steps as are considered necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which the Corporation or any Affiliate is required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority whatsoever to withhold in connection with any Option or Common Share including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the withholding of all or any portion of any payment or the withholding of the issue of Common Shares to be issued upon the exercise of any Option, until such time as the Participant has paid the Corporation or any Affiliate for any amount which the Corporation or the Affiliate is required to withhold with respect to such taxes.

Section 4.02 Securities Laws of the United States of America. Neither the Options which may be granted pursuant to this Stock Option Plan nor the Common Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options have been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or under any securities law of any state of the United States of America. Accordingly, any Participant who is issued Common Shares or granted an Option in a transaction which is subject to the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States of America may be required to represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that:

(a) the Participant is acquiring the Option and/or any Common Shares as principal and for the account of the Participant;
(b) in granting the Option and/or issuing the Common Shares to the Participant, the Corporation is relying on the representations and warranties of the Participant to support the conclusion of the Corporation that the granting of the Option and/or the issue of Common Shares do not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or to be qualified under the securities laws of any state of the United States of America;
(c) each certificate representing Common Shares so issued may be required to have the following legend:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "U.S. SECURITIES ACT") OR UNDER ANY STATE


SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, (C) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144

OR 144A UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, IF APPLICABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE U.S. STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (D) WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE CORPORATION (WHICH WILL BE DELIVERED PROMPTLY AND WILL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD, BUT WHICH MAY BE CONDITIONAL ON DELIVERY OF A LEGAL OPINION IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION), PURSUANT TO ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THE PRESENCE OF THIS LEGEND MAY IMPAIR THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER HEREOF TO EFFECT "GOOD DELIVERY" OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ON A CANADIAN STOCK EXCHANGE. A CERTIFICATE WITHOUT A LEGEND MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT OF THE CORPORATION IN CONNECTION WITH A SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY AT A TIME WHEN THE CORPORATION IS A "FOREIGN ISSUER" AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, UPON DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND A DULY EXECUTED DECLARATION, IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT AND THE CORPORATION, TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.";

provided that if such Common Shares are being sold outside the United States of America in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act and provided that the Corporation is a "foreign issuer" within the meaning of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act at the time of such sale, such legend may be removed by providing a written declaration signed by the holder to the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares to the following effect:

"The undersigned (A) represents and warrants that the sale of the securities of Badger Capital Corp. (the "Corporation") to which this declaration relates is being made in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and (B) certifies that (1) the undersigned is not an affiliate of the Corporation as that term is defined in the U.S. Securities Act, (2) the offer of such securities was not made to a person in the United States and either (A) at the time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside the United States, or the undersigned and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside the United States or (B) the transaction was executed on or through the facilities of a Designated Offshore Securities Market and neither the undersigned nor any person acting on behalf thereof knows or has any reason to believe that the transaction has been


prearranged with a buyer in the United States, (3) neither the seller nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person acting on any of their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts in the United States in connection with the offer and sale of such securities, (4) the sale is bona fide and not for the purpose of "washing off" the resale restrictions imposed because the securities are "restricted securities" (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act), (5) the seller does not intend to replace the securities sold in reliance on Rule 904 of the U.S. Securities Act with fungible unrestricted securities and (6) the contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a series of transactions which, although in technical compliance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the U.S. Securities Act. Terms used herein have the meanings given to them by Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.";

(d) other than as contemplated by paragraph 4.02(c) hereof, prior to making any disposition of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to this Stock Option Plan which might be subject to the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, the Participant shall give written notice to the Corporation describing the manner of the proposed disposition and containing such other information as is necessary to enable counsel for the Corporation to determine whether registration under the U.S. Securities Act or qualification under any securities laws of any state of the United States of America is required in connection with the proposed disposition and whether the proposed disposition is otherwise in compliance with such legislation and the regulations thereto;

(e) other than as contemplated by paragraph 4.02(c) hereof, the Participant will not attempt to effect any disposition of the Common Shares owned by the Participant and acquired pursuant to this Stock Option Plan or of any interest therein which might be subject to the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act in the absence of an effective registration statement relating thereto under the U.S. Securities Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for the Corporation that such disposition would not constitute a violation of the U.S. Securities Act and then will only dispose of such Common Shares in the manner so proposed;

(f) the Corporation may place a notation on the records of the Corporation to the effect that none of the Common Shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to this Stock Option Plan shall be transferred unless the provisions of the Plan have been complied with; and

(g) the effect of these restrictions on the disposition of the Common Shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to this Stock Option Plan is such that the Participant may not be able to sell or otherwise dispose of such Common Shares for a considerable length of time in a transaction which is subject to the provisions of the U.S. Securities Act other than as contemplated by paragraph 4.02(c) hereof.

Section 5.07 Adjustment in Number of Common Shares Subject to the Plan.

Section 5.10 Participation through RRSPs and Holding Companies.

For the purposes of this Section 5.10, a personal holding corporation shall be deemed to be controlled by a Director, Officer or Employee if (i) voting securities carrying 100% of the votes for the election of directors of such corporation are held, otherwise than by way of security only, by or for the benefit of such Director, Officer or Employee and the votes carried by such voting securities are entitled, if exercised, to elect a majority of the board of directors of such corporation,
