VISIONARY METALS CORP.

ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

INFORMATION CIRCULAR

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Information Circular is furnished to the holders (the "Shareholders") of common shares (the "Common Shares") of Visionary Metals Corp. (formerly Visionary Gold Corp.) (the "Company") by management of the Company in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the annual general meeting (the "Meeting") of the Shareholders to be at Socium Law at #1900, 700 – 2nd Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, on January 15, 2026 and at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

Important details about the Meeting and how Shareholders can participate are set out in this Management Information Circular and the accompanying proxy materials.

PROXIES

Solicitation of Proxies

The enclosed Proxy is solicited by and on behalf of management of the Company. The persons named in the enclosed Proxy form are management-designated proxyholders. A registered Shareholder desiring to appoint some other person (who need not be a Shareholder) to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting may do so either by inserting such other person's name in the blank space provided in the Proxy form or by completing another form of proxy. To be used at the Meeting, proxies must be received by Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or received by the chair of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. Alternatively, you can vote by telephone at 1-866-732-8683 (Toll-free); 312-588-4290 (International) or online www.investorvote.com. To do so you will need to provide your control number, holder account number and access number, which are provided on the form of Proxy accompanying this Information Circular. Solicitation will be primarily by mail, but some proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by regular employees or directors of the Company at a nominal cost. The cost of solicitation by management of the Company will be borne by the Company.

Non-Registered Holders

Only registered holders of Common Shares or the persons they appoint as their proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. In many cases, however, Common Shares beneficially owned by a holder (a "Non-Registered Shareholder") are registered either:

(a) in the name of an Intermediary (an "Intermediary") through which the Non-Registered Shareholder owns the Common Shares. Intermediaries include banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans, or

(b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant.


Non-Registered Shareholders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "NOBOs". Those Non-Registered Shareholders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "OBOs".

Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 ("NI 54-101") of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company is distributing copies of proxy-related materials in connection with this Meeting (including this Information Circular) indirectly to Non-Registered Holders.

The Company is not relying on the notice and access delivery procedures outlined in NI 54-101 to distribute copies of proxy-related materials in connection with the Meeting.

Intermediaries which receive the proxy-related materials are required to forward the proxy-related materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the proxy-related materials to Non-Registered Shareholders.

The Company will not be paying for Intermediaries to deliver to OBOs (who have not otherwise waived their right to receive proxy-related materials) copies of the proxy-related materials and related documents. Accordingly, an OBO will not receive copies of the proxy-related materials and related documents unless the OBO's Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive proxy-related materials (including OBO's who have made the necessary arrangements with their Intermediary for the payment of delivery and receipt of such proxy-related materials) will be sent a voting instruction form which must be completed, signed and returned by the Non-Registered Shareholder in accordance with the Intermediary's directions on the voting instruction form. In some cases, such Non-Registered Shareholders will instead be given a proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder, but which is otherwise not completed. This form of proxy does not need to be signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder but, to be used at the Meeting, needs to be properly completed and deposited with Computershare Trust Company of Canada as described under "Solicitation of Proxies".

The purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the Common Shares that they beneficially own. 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 insert the Non-Registered Shareholder's (or such other person's) name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a voting instruction form, follow the corresponding instructions on the form.

Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries and their service companies, including instructions regarding when and where the voting instruction form or Proxy form is to be delivered.

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


Revocability of Proxies

A registered Shareholder who has given a Proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing:

(a) executed by the Shareholder giving same or by the Shareholder's attorney authorized in writing or, where the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation, and

(b) delivered either at the registered office of the Company (Suite 407 – 325 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1Z7) at any time up to and including the last business day before the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or to the chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof before any vote in respect of which the Proxy is to be used shall have been taken,

or in any other manner provided by law.

Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to revoke a voting instruction form or a waiver of the right to receive proxy-related materials should contact their Intermediaries for instructions.

Voting of Proxies

Common Shares represented by a Shareholder's Proxy form will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the Shareholder's instructions on any ballot that may be called for at the Meeting and, if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Common Shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of any instructions, the management-designated proxy agent named on the Proxy form will cast the Shareholder's votes in favour of the passage of the resolutions set forth herein and in the Notice of Meeting.

The enclosed Proxy form confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to (a) amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and (b) other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. At the time of printing of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting.

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

Other than as set forth herein, management of the Company is not aware of any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, of any person who has been a director or an executive officer of the Company at any time since the beginning of the Company's last financial year, any person who is a proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, or of any associate or affiliate of any such persons, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors. The foregoing persons may be eligible to be granted options to acquire Common Shares of the Company (an "Option") pursuant to the stock option plan of the Company (the "Option Plan").

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company has an authorized capital of an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. Each Common Share carries the right to one vote at the Meeting. The board of directors of the Company ("Board of Directors" or "Board") has December 9, 2025, as the record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof, and only Shareholders of record at the close of business on that date are entitled

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


to receive such notice and to vote at the Meeting. As of December 9, 2025 there were [175,678,690] Common Shares issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable shares. The Company has no preferred shares outstanding. A complete list of the Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting will be open to examination by any Shareholder for any purpose germane to the Meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of 10 days prior to the Meeting, at the office of Computershare Trust Company of Canada, at 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3B9.

To the knowledge of the directors or executive officers of the Company, as of December 9, 2025, no person beneficially owned, controlled or directed Common Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares, except for the following:

Name Number of Common Shares Percentage of Outstanding Common Shares
Wesley J. Adams 30,403,289 17.31%

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

None of the proposed directors is as at the date of this Information Circular, or has been within the ten years preceding the date of this Information Circular, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including the Company) that (a) was subject to a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days (collectively, an "Order"), when such Order was issued while the person was acting in the capacity of a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the relevant company, or (b) was subject to an Order that was issued after such person ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the relevant company, and which resulted from an event that occurred while the person was acting in the capacity of a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the relevant company.

No proposed director is as at the date of this Information Circular, or has been within the ten years preceding the date of this Information Circular, a director or executive officer of any company (including the Company) that, while that person was acting in that capacity or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

No proposed director has, within the ten years preceding the date of this Information Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of that person.

No proposed director has been subject to (a) any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority, or (b) any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable securityholder in deciding whether to vote for a proposed director.

The following description of the corporate governance practices of the Company is provided further to National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") and the disclosure prescribed for "Venture Issuers" such as the Company.

Board of Directors

As of the date hereof, the Board consists of five directors: John Kanderka, Wesley J. Adams, Darren Lindsay, Drew Clark, and David Miller. Currently, Darren Lindsay, Drew Clark and David Miller are deemed independent. Wesley J. Adams, as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and John Kanderka, as the Company's former interim Chief Executive Officer, are not independent.

The Board considers that management is effectively supervised by the independent directors on an informal basis, as the independent directors are regularly involved in reviewing and supervising the operations of the Company and have regular and full access to management. Currently, the Board believes that the knowledge, experience and qualifications of its independent directors are sufficient to ensure that the Board can function independently of management and discharge its responsibilities.

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


Directorships

The current and proposed directors of the Company are presently directors of other reporting issuers in Canada or elsewhere as set out below:

Director Reporting Issuer
John Kanderka Orestone Mining Corp.
Wesley J. Adams none
Darren Lindsay none
Drew Clark Summit Royalties Ltd.
David Miller ALX Resources Corp.
Rush Rare Metals Corp.
Nuclear Fuels Inc.

Orientation and Continuing Education

While the Company does not have formal orientation and training programs, new Board members are provided with:

  1. information respecting the functioning of the Board of Directors, committees and copies of the Company's policies;
  2. access to recent, publicly filed documents of the Company; and
  3. access to management.

Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, the auditor and technical consultants to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation with management's assistance and to attend related industry seminars. Board members have full access to the Company's records.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board views good corporate governance and ethical business conduct as an integral component to the success of the Company and to meet responsibilities to Shareholders. Due to the size of the Company and its present level of activity, the Company has not adopted a formal Code of Conduct.

The Board expects that fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and applicable law, as well as provisions under corporate legislation for required disclosures by directors and senior officers to the Company of transactions with the Company in which they may have an interest and of any other conflicts of duties and interests, are sufficient to ensure that these persons conduct themselves in the best interests of the Company. The Board will consider the need to implement a formal Code of Conduct as the Company's operational activities continue to grow.

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5

Nomination of Directors

The Board has responsibility for identifying potential Board candidates. The Board assesses potential Board candidates to fill perceived needs on the Board for required skills, expertise, independence and other factors. The Board determines new nominees to the Board through recommendations of current members of the Board and management, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members and the Chief Executive Officer.

Compensation

The independent directors have the responsibility for determining compensation for the directors and senior management based on recommendations received from the Board and management.

Other Board Committees

The Board has no committees other than the audit committee (the "Audit Committee").

Assessments

The Board annually (and at such other times as it deems appropriate) reviews the performance and effectiveness of the Board, the directors and its committees to determine whether changes in size, personnel or responsibilities are warranted.

Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans

The Company has in place the Option Plan, which was adopted by the Board of Directors on May 2, 2022, and first approved by the Shareholders of the Company on May 31, 2022. As the Option Plan is a "rolling percentage plan", the Option Plan must be re-approved on an annual basis by the Shareholders at each annual meeting of the Company as required by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). Further, the Option Plan was amended by the Board of Directors on November 3, 2023, and such amendment must be approved by the Shareholders.

In determining the number of Options to be granted to the executive officers, the directors take into account the number of Options, if any, previously granted to each executive officer, and the exercise price of any outstanding Options to ensure that such grants are in accordance with the policies of the Exchange and closely align the interests of the executive officers with the interests of Shareholders.

The Board of Directors reviews and approves grants of Options on annual basis and periodically during a financial year.

The following is a summary of the key provisions of the Option Plan. The following summary is qualified in all respects by the full text of the Option Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix B. All capitalized terms in the following section have the meanings ascribed to them in the Option Plan.

  • The number of Common Shares reserved and authorized for issuance pursuant to Options granted under the Option Plan and all other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements is 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and with respect to Insiders (as defined in the Option Plan), as a group shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval if and as may be required by the Exchange;

  • The number of Common Shares granted to Insiders in any 12-month period must not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares listed on the Exchange on the Grant Date (as defined in the Option Plan), together with all of the Company's other previously established or proposed share compensation agreements, on a non-diluted basis, unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval if and as may be required by the Exchange;

  • The number of Common Shares granted to any one Participant (as defined in the Option Plan), in any 12-month period must not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, together with all of the Company's other previously established or proposed share compensation agreements, unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval if and as may be required by the Exchange;

  • The number of Common Shares granted to any one Consultant (as defined in the Option Plan) in a 12-month period must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis;

  • The number of Common Shares granted to all Eligible Persons (as defined in the Option Plan) who undertake Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the Option Plan) in a 12-month period must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis;

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


  • Options may be exercised by delivering to the Company a notice specifying the number of Common Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised together with payment in full of the Option Price for each Common Share;

  • With the approval of the Board, which may be withheld, a Participant may exercise their Option, excluding any Consultant (as defined in the Option Plan) performing Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the Option Plan), in whole or in part, without payment (the "Net Cashless Exercise") by providing written notice to the Company (the "Net Cashless Exercise Notice"). Upon receipt of the notice, the Company shall calculate and issue to the Participant that number of Common Shares as determined by the following formula, after deduction of any withholding obligations:

$$
X = [Y(A-B)]/A
$$

Where:

X = the aggregate number of Common Shares to be issued to the Participant

Y = the aggregate number of Common Shares underlying the Option(s) being exercised

A = the VWAP (as defined in the Option Plan), if greater than the Option Price

B = the Option Price of the Option(s) being exercised

  • If the number of Common Shares to be issued to a Participant in a Net Cashless Exercise would otherwise include a fraction of a Common Share, the Company will pay a cash amount to the Participant equal to: (i) the fraction of a Common Share otherwise issuable multiplied by (ii) the fair market value as of the date of the receipt by the Company of the Net Cashless Exercise Notice.

  • With the approval of the Board (which may be withheld), a Participant may elect to exercise Options in whole or in part, by (i) providing irrevocable instructions to the Company to deliver the aggregate number of Common Shares to be issued to the Participant promptly to a broker and (ii) irrevocable instructions to the broker to sell the Common Shares sufficient to pay the aggregate Option price of the Option being exercised and upon such sale to deliver the Option price of the Option being exercised to the Company.

  • The Board may, from time to time (subject to applicable law and prior approval if required) terminate or revise the Option Plan, provided that such termination or revision does not adversely affect the terms or conditions of any Option granted to a Participant without the consent of that Participant. Subject to the foregoing, the Board may make amendments to the Option Plan that it is entitled to make, subject to any regulatory or stock exchange requirements or approval at the time of such amendment or termination.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

Compensation for Wesley J. Adams as Chief Executive Officer was determined by the Board to be nil through to June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024. Compensation for Pacific Opportunity Capital Ltd. of which Robert Doyle, Chief Financial Officer, is a shareholder, was determined by the Board to be $67,000 through to June 20, 2023, and $64,500 through to June 30, 2024.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

The independent directors are responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation of directors and NEOs. The independent directors carry out the

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


function of monitoring executive compensation levels, evaluating the performance of NEOs and directors in light of corporate goals and objectives, and determining (or making recommendations to the Board with respect to) the level of compensation arrangements for the executive, officers and directors. See "Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements" for compensation arrangements for the Company's NEOs.

At no time since the completion of the Company's financial years ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, did the Company retain a compensation consultant or advisor to assist the Board of Directors or the independent directors in determining compensation for any of the Company's directors or executive officers.

The Company does not have a formal compensation program with set benchmarks. Individual compensation is not directly tied to performance goals which are based on any specific objective and identifiable measure, such as the Company's share price or earnings per share. However, the Company does have a compensation program which seeks to reward an executive officer's current and future expected performance. Individual performance is reviewed for all executive officers based largely on a qualitative evaluation of the Company's achievement of corporate milestones and objectives. The general objectives of the Company's compensation strategy are to:

(a) compensate management in a manner that encourages and rewards a high level of performance and outstanding results with a view to increasing long-term Shareholder value;

(b) align management's interests with the long-term interest of Shareholders;

(c) provide a compensation package that is commensurate with other junior natural resource companies to enable the Company to attract and retain talent; and

(d) to ensure that the total compensation package is designed in a manner that considers the constraints that the Company is under by virtue of the fact that it is a junior natural resource company without a history of earnings.

The independent directors ensure that total compensation paid to all Named Executive Officers, as defined herein, is fair and reasonable. The independent directors rely on the experience of its members as officers and directors with other junior natural resource companies in assessing compensation levels.

Base salary provides the Named Executive Officers a set amount of money during the year with the expectation that each Named Executive Officer will perform his responsibilities to the best of his ability and in the best interests of the Company.

The Company considers the granting of Options to be a significant component of executive compensation as it allows the Company to reward each Named Executive Officer's efforts to increase value for Shareholders without requiring the Company to use cash from its treasury. Options are generally awarded to directors, officers, consultants and employees at the commencement of employment and periodically thereafter. The terms and conditions of the Company's Option grants, including vesting provisions and exercise prices, are governed by the terms of the Company's Option Plan.

Pension Disclosure

The Company does not provide a pension to any director or NEO.

In this Plan, words imparting the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa and words imparting the masculine shall include the feminine.

3. GRANT OF OPTIONS

3.1 OPTION TERMS

(a) The Board may from time to time authorize the issue of Options to Participants who are Eligible Persons. Any Participant to whom an Option is granted under the Plan who subsequently ceases to hold the position in which he or she received such Option shall continue to be eligible to hold such Option as a Participant as long as he or she otherwise falls within the definition of "Eligible Person" in any capacity.

(b) The Option Price under each Option shall be determined by the Board and shall not be less than the Discounted Market Price on the Grant Date. The Exercise Price of any Option granted hereunder shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

(c) The Board may determine and impose terms upon which each Option shall become Vested. If the Board does not otherwise specify the vesting provisions of an Option at time of the grant of such Option, and subject to the other limits on Option grants set out in Section 3.2 hereof, Options granted under the Plan shall vest and become exercisable in full as to one-third thereof on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date. Options granted to Consultants performing Investor Relations Activities must vest, at minimum, in

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


stages over twelve months with no more than one-quarter of the Options vesting in any three month period but may have longer vesting provisions as set by the Board on the Grant Date.

(d) The Expiry Date for each Option shall be set by the Board at the time of issue of the Option and shall not be more than ten years after the Grant Date. If the Board does not set an Expiry Date for an Option granted at the time of the grant of the Option, such Option shall have an Expiry Date which is five years from the Grant Date.

(e) Subject to the provisions of this Section, Options shall be non-assignable and non-transferable by the Participants otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by the Participant and after death only by the Participant's legal representative (subject to the limitation that Options may be not be exercised later than the Expiry Date). Notwithstanding the above, Options may, with the prior approval of the Board, be assigned by an Eligible Person to whom an Option has been granted to a Permitted Assign of such Eligible Person, following which such Options shall be non-assignable and non-transferable by such Permitted Assign, except, with the prior approval of the Board, to another Permitted Assign, otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of such Permitted Assign only by such Permitted Assign and after death only by such Permitted Assign's legal representative (subject to the limitation that Options may not be exercised later than the Expiry Date). For greater certainty, the Board shall be only permitted to grant Options to an Eligible Person and shall not be permitted to grant Options directly to any Permitted Assign.

3.2 Limits on Shares Issuable on Exercise of Options

(a) The number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and all of the Company's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements:

(i) in aggregate shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares listed on the Exchange on a non-diluted basis at any point in time (unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval pursuant to Policy 4.4 of the Exchange); and

(ii) to Insiders as a group shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares listed on the Exchange on a non-diluted basis at any point in time (unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval pursuant to Policy 4.4 of the Exchange).

(b) The number of Shares which may be issuable under the Plan and all of the Company's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, within a 12-month period:

(i) to any one Participant, shall not exceed 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares listed on the Exchange on the Grant Date on a non-diluted basis (unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval pursuant to Policy 4.4 of the Exchange);

(ii) to Insiders as a group shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares listed on the Exchange on the Grant Date on a non-diluted basis (unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


pursuant to Policy 4.4 of the Exchange);

(iii) to any one Consultant shall not exceed 2% in the aggregate of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares on the Grant Date on a non-diluted basis; and

(iv) to all Eligible Persons who undertake Investor Relations Activities shall not exceed 2% in the aggregate of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares on the Grant Date on a non-diluted basis.

3.3 Hold Periods

For so long as the Shares are listed on the Exchange, any Share issued pursuant to the exercise of Options that:

(a) are granted to a Participant who is a director, officer, promoter, Consultant or significant shareholder of the Company; or

(b) had an Option Price per Share that is less than the market price at the time of exercise,

will be subject to a four-month hold period commencing on the Grant Date of the Option.

3.4 Option Agreements

Each Option shall be confirmed by the execution of an Option Agreement executed by the Company and by the Participant to whom such Option is granted. Each Participant shall have the option to purchase from the Company the Option Shares at the time and in the manner set out in the Plan and in the Option Agreement applicable to that Participant. For stock options to Employees, Consultants, Consultant Companies or Management Company Employees, the Company is representing herein and in the applicable Option Agreement that the Participant is a bona fide Employee, Consultant, Consultant Company or Management Company Employee, as the case may be, of the Company or its Affiliates. The execution of an Option Agreement shall constitute conclusive evidence that it has been completed in compliance with this Plan. Subject to specific variations approved by the Board in respect of any Options, such variations not to be inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, all terms and conditions set out in the Plan are incorporated by reference into and form part of any Option granted under the Plan.

4. EXERCISE OF OPTION

4.1. When Options May be Exercised

Subject to Sections 4.3 and 4.4, an Option may be exercised to purchase any number of Shares up to the number of Vested Unissued Option Shares at any time after the Grant Date up to 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the Expiry Date and shall not be exercisable thereafter. Notwithstanding this Section of the Plan or the term of any Option fixed by the Board hereunder, in the event that the Expiry Date of any Option granted hereunder (other than an Expiry Date arising as a result of the termination of the employment of the Participant for cause) occurs during a period when the Participant is restricted from exercising such Option as a result of a "black-out period" imposed by the Company pursuant to its own black-out policies, or within 3 days of the expiry of any such "black-out period", then the term of any such Option shall automatically, and without any further action by the Board, be extended by a period of 10 business days from the expiry of such "black-out period".

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


4.2. Manner of Exercise

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the related Option Agreement, an Option may be exercised from time to time by delivering to the Company a notice specifying the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised together with payment in full of the Option Price for each such Share by certified cheque, or in another manner deemed acceptable to the Company at the time of such exercise. Upon notice and payment there will be a binding contract for the issue of the Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised, upon and subject to the provisions of the Plan. Delivery of the Participant's cheque payable to the Company in the amount of the Option Price shall constitute payment of the Option Price unless the cheque is not honoured upon presentation in which case the Option shall not have been validly exercised. Upon receipt of payment in full, but subject to the terms of the Plan and the related Option Agreement, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable;

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a) and Section 4.20, with the approval of the Board (which may be withheld entirely in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board), a Participant, excluding any Consultant performing Investor Relations Activities, may elect to exercise Option(s), in whole or in part, without payment of the aggregate Option Price due on such exercise (any such exercise, a "Net Cashless Exercise") by providing written notice of such election to the Company (a "Net Cashless Exercise Notice"). Upon actual receipt by the Company of a Net Cashless Exercise Notice from a Participant, the Company shall calculate and issue to such Participant that number of Shares as is determined by application of the following formula, after deduction of any withholding obligations:

$$
X = [Y(A-B)]/A
$$

Where:

  • X = the aggregate number of Shares to be issued to the Participant upon such Net Cashless Exercise
  • Y = the aggregate number of Shares underlying the Option(s) being exercised
  • A = the VWAP, if greater than the Option Price
  • B = the Option Price of the Option(s) being exercised

If the number of Shares to be issued to the Participant in the event of a Net Cashless Exercise would otherwise include a fraction of a Share, the Company will pay a cash amount to such Participant equal to: (i) the fraction of a Share otherwise issuable multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value as of the date of the receipt by the Company of such Net Cashless Exercise Notice. Upon a Net Cashless Exercise by a Participant pursuant to this Section 4.2(a), the number of Shares underlying the Option(s) being exercised shall be deemed to have been issued and counted against the maximum number of authorized but unissued Shares available for issue under this Plan.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a) and Section 4.2(a), with the approval of the Board (which may be withheld entirely in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board), a Participant may elect to exercise Option(s) (any such exercise, a "Broker-Assisted Cashless Exercise"), in whole or in part, by providing (i) irrevocable instructions to the Company to deliver the aggregate number of Shares to be issued to the Participant upon such Broker-Assisted Cashless Exercise promptly to a broker (acceptable to the Company) for the Participant's account, and (ii) irrevocable instructions to the broker to sell the Shares sufficient to pay the aggregate Option Price of the Option(s) being exercised (plus any amount required for any

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


withholding obligations) and upon such sale to deliver the Option Price of the Option(s) being exercised (plus any amount required for any withholding obligations) to the Company.

4.3. Termination as Eligible Person

If a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person, his or her Option shall be exercisable as follows:

(a) If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person due to his or her death or Disability or, in the case of a Participant that is a company, the death or Disability of the person who provides management or consulting services to the Company or to any entity controlled by the Company, the Option then held by the Participant shall be exercisable by the legal representative of the Participant to acquire Vested Unissued Option Shares at any time up to but not after the earlier of (i) 365 days after the date of death or Disability; and (ii) the Expiry Date (such period referred to herein as the "Exercise Period"). For greater clarity, Options outstanding on the date of death or Disability of the Participant will continue to Vest during the Exercise Period until such Options are exercised in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.

(b) If the Participant, or in the case of a Management Company Employee or a Consultant Company, the Participant's employer, ceases to be an Eligible Person as a result of termination for cause, as that term is interpreted by the courts of the jurisdiction in which the Participant, or, in the case of a Management Company Employee or a Consultant Company, of the Participant's employer, is employed or engaged; any outstanding Option held by such Participant on the Termination Date, whether in respect of Option Shares that are Vested or not, shall cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination on the Termination Date and shall be cancelled as of such date, subject to the provisions of any employment, consulting or settlement agreement between such Participant and the Company.

(c) If the Participant or, in the case of a Management Company Employee or a Consultant Company, the Participant's employer, ceases to be an Eligible Person due to his or her retirement at the request of his or her employer earlier than the normal retirement date under the Company's retirement policy then in force, or due to his or her termination by the Company other than for cause, or due to his or her voluntary resignation, subject to the provisions of any employment, consulting or settlement agreement between such Participant and the Company, the Options then held by the Participant shall be exercisable to acquire Vested Unissued Option Shares at any time up to but not after the earlier of the Expiry Date and the date which is 90 days (30 days if the Participant was engaged in Investor Relations Activities) after the Termination Date (such period referred to herein as the "Notice Period Date"). If any portion of an Option is not vested by the Termination Date, that portion of the Option may continue to Vest until the Notice Period Date subject to any employment, consulting or settlement agreement between the Participant and the Company. If any portion of an Option is not vested by the Notice Period Date, that portion of the Option may not, under any circumstances, be exercised by the Participant. Without limitation, and for greater certainty only, this provision will apply regardless of whether the Participant received compensation in respect of dismissal or payment in lieu of notice in respect of such Termination and, for all purposes of the Plan, a Participant's employment or consulting services shall conclusively be deemed to have been terminated on the date that such Participant received notice of termination from the Company.

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


4.4. Exclusion From Severance Allowance, Retirement Allowance or Termination Settlement

If the Participant, or, in the case of a Management Company Employee or a Consultant Company, the Participant's employer, retires, resigns or is terminated from employment or engagement with the Company or any Affiliate, the loss or limitation, if any, pursuant to the Option Agreement with respect to the right to purchase Option Shares which were not Vested at that time or which, if Vested, were cancelled, 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 under any applicable statute or common law.

4.5. Effect of a Change of Control

(a) In the event of a proposed Change of Control (as determined by the Board), the Board may, in its discretion, conditionally or otherwise and on such terms as it sees fit, accelerate the vesting of all of a Participant's unvested Options to a date determined by the Board, such that all of a Participant's Options will immediately vest at such time. In such event, all Options so Vested will be exercisable, conditionally or otherwise, from such date until their respective Expiry Dates so as to permit the Participant to participate in such Change of Control.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, in the event of a proposed Change of Control (as determined by the Board), the Board will have the power exercisable in its discretion (i) to terminate, conditionally or otherwise and on such terms as it sees fit, the Options not exercised prior to the effective time of such Change of Control, and/or (ii) to modify the terms of the Options, conditionally or otherwise and on such terms as it sees fit, in order to assist the Participants to participate in the Change of Control, including for greater certainty permitting such Participants to exercise their Options on a "cashless" basis. For greater certainty, in the event that a Change of Control is effected, the Board will have the power, if determined appropriate, to terminate all Options not exercised prior to the effective time of such Change of Control.

(c) If a proposed Change of Control is not completed, the Options that Vested pursuant to subsection (a) above (if any) must be returned by the Participant to the Company and will be reinstated as unvested Options and the original terms applicable to such Options will apply. If any of the Options that Vested pursuant to subsection (a) above were exercised, such Shares must be returned to the Company for cancellation and replacement with the original underlying Options. The determination of the Board with respect to any such event will for the purposes of this Plan be final, conclusive and binding.

4.6. Shares Not Acquired

To the extent any Option granted under the Plan expires or is cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in whole or in part, the Unissued Option Shares in respect of which such Option expired or was cancelled or terminated shall be considered to be part of the reserved Shares available for Options under the Plan and may be made the subject of a further Option or Options granted pursuant to the Plan.

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5

5. ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION PRICE AND NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES

5.1. Share Reorganization

Whenever the Company issues Shares to all or substantially all holders of Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution, or subdivides all outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, or combines or consolidates all outstanding Shares into a lesser number of Shares (each of such events being herein called a "Share Reorganization") then effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or other distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or consolidation, for each Option:

(a) the Option Price will be adjusted to a price per Share which is the product of:

(i) the Option Price in effect immediately before that effective date or record date; and
(ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares outstanding on that effective date or record date before giving effect to the Share Reorganization, and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares that are or would be outstanding immediately after such effective date or record date after giving effect to the Share Reorganization; and

(b) the number of Unissued Option Shares will be adjusted by multiplying

(i) the number of Unissued Option Shares immediately before such effective date or record date by a fraction which is the reciprocal of the fraction described in subsection (a)(ii) above.

5.2. Special Distribution

Subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, whenever the Company issues by way of a dividend or otherwise distributes to allor substantially all holders of Shares;

(a) shares of the Company, other than the Shares;
(b) evidence of indebtedness;
(c) any cash or other assets, excluding cash dividends (other than cash dividends which the Board has determined to be outside the normal course); or
(d) rights, options or warrants;

then to the extent that such dividend or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a "Special Distribution"), and effective immediately after the record date at which holders of Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution, for each Option the Option Price may be reduced, and the number of Unissued Option Shares may be correspondingly increased, by such amount, if any, as is determined by the Board in its sole and unfettered discretion to be appropriate in order to properly reflect any diminution in value of the Option Shares as a result of such Special Distribution.

5.3. Corporate Organization

Whenever there is:


(a) a reclassification of outstanding Shares, a change of Shares into other shares or securities, or any other capital reorganization of the Company, other than as described in Sections 5.1 or 5.2;

(b) a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into another company resulting in a reclassification of outstanding Shares into other shares or securities or a change of Shares into other shares or securities; or

(c) a transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Company's undertaking and assets become the property of another company;

(any such event being herein called a "Corporate Reorganization") the Participant will have an option to purchase (at the times, for the consideration, and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Plan) and will accept on the exercise of such option, in lieu of the Unissued Option Shares which the Participant would otherwise have been entitled to purchase, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property that the Participant would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Corporate Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Participant had been the holder of all Unissued Option Shares or if appropriate, as otherwise determined by the Board.

5.4. Determination of Option Price and Number of Unissued Option Shares

If any questions arise at any time with respect to the Option Price or number of Unissued Option Shares deliverable upon exercise of an Option following a Share Reorganization, Special Distribution or Corporate Reorganization, such questions shall be conclusively determined by the Company's auditor, or, if they decline to so act, any other firm of Chartered or Certified Public Accountants that the Board may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records and such determination will be binding upon the Company and all Participants.

5.5. Regulatory Approval

Any adjustment to the Option Price or the number of Unissued Option Shares purchasable under the Plan pursuant to the operation of any one of Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 is subject to the approval of the Exchange and any other governmental authority having jurisdiction.

6. U.S. SECURITIES LAWS AND TAXES

6.1 U.S. Securities Laws

Neither the options which may be granted pursuant to the provisions of the Plan nor the Shares which may be purchased 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 option holder who is a "U.S. person" (as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) or who is holding or exercising options in the United States (collectively, "U.S. Option Holders") or becomes a U.S. Option Holder, who is granted an option in the United States, who is a resident of the United States or who is otherwise subject to the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States shall by acceptance of the options be deemed to represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that:

(a) The option holder is acquiring the options and any Shares acquired upon the exercise of such options as principal and for the account of the option holder.

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


(b) In granting the options and issuing the Shares to the option holder upon the exercise of such options, the Company is relying on the representations and warranties of the option holder contained in this Plan relating to the options to support the conclusion of the Company that the granting of the options and the issue of Shares upon the exercise of such options 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 Shares issued upon the exercise of such options to a U.S. Option Holder shall bear the following legend:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "U.S. SECURITIES ACT"). THESE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, (C) IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE OFFER AND SALE OF SECURITIES, AND THE HOLDER HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, FURNISHED TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION, IN EITHER CASE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY. DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE "GOOD DELIVERY" IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA."

provided that if the Company is a "foreign private issuer" (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act) and such 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, the foregoing legends may be removed by providing a written declaration by the holder to the registrar and transfer agent for the Shares in a customary form to be provided by such transfer agent.

(d) Other than as contemplated by subsection (b) of this Section 6, prior to making any disposition of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such options, the U.S. Option Holder shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner of the proposed disposition and containing such other information as is necessary to enable counsel for the Company 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 subsection (b) of this Section 6.1, the U.S. Option Holder will not attempt to effect any disposition of the Shares owned by the U.S. Option Holder and acquired pursuant to the exercise of such options or of any interest therein 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 Company that such disposition would not

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


constitute a violation of the U.S. Securities Act or any securities laws of any state of the United States of America and then will only dispose of such Shares in the manner so proposed.

(f) The Company may place a notation on the records of the Company to the effect that none of the Shares acquired by the U.S. Option Holder pursuant to the exercise of such options shall be transferred unless the provisions of the Plan have been complied with.

(g) The effect of these restrictions on the disposition of the Shares acquired by the U.S. Option Holder pursuant to the exercise of such options is such that the U.S. Option Holder may not be able to sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares for a considerable length of time other than as contemplated by subsection (b) of this Section 6.1.

6.2 U.S. Taxes

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any option granted under this Plan to an optionee who is a citizen or resident of the United States of America, including its territories, possessions, and all areas subject to jurisdiction (a "U.S. Optionee") shall have a purchase price of the Shares subject to the option not less than the fair market value of such Shares at the time the option is granted (whether the option is an option granted under this Plan that is intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option" in accordance with the terms of section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Code") or any successor provision (an "Incentive Stock Option") or an option granted under this Plan that is not an Incentive Stock Option (a "Non-Qualified Stock Option")), unless the option is granted in substitution for a stock option previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company, in which case any such substituted option shall be adjusted as required to comply with sections 409A and 424 of the Code. The purchase price of options granted to a U.S. Optionee may not be amended to reduce such purchase price below the fair market value of the underlying Shares at the time the option was granted, except as in a manner that complies with section 409A of the Code. The option agreement for any option granted to a U.S. Optionee will designate whether the option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option and, in the absence of any designation, an option will be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to each Incentive Stock Option:

(i) the option shall be an Incentive Stock Option to the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which options are exercisable for the first time by such U.S. Optionee during any calendar year under this Plan and all other incentive stock option plans, within the meaning of section 422 of the Code, of the Company and any "parent" or "subsidiary" of the Corporation (as defined in section 424 of the Code) does not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars in U.S. funds ($100,000 USD);

(ii) to the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options (determined without reference to this subsection) are exercisable for the first time by a U.S. Optionee during any calendar year under this Plan and all other incentive stock option plans, within the meaning

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


of section 422 of the Code, of the Company and any "parent" or "subsidiary" of the Company (as defined in section 424 of the Code) exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars in U.S. funds (US$100,000), such options will be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options in accordance with section 422(d) of the Code;

(c) Incentive Stock Options shall only be available to employees of the Company or any "parent" or "subsidiary" of the Company (as defined in section 424 of the Code) and not available to non-employee service providers;

(i) no Incentive Stock Option may be granted following the expiry of 10 years after the date on which this Plan is adopted by the Board and no Incentive Stock Option may be exercisable following the expiry of 10 years after the date of grant (notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary);

(ii) if any U.S. Optionee to whom an Incentive Stock Option is to be granted under this Plan is at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option the owner of shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the shares of the Company or any "parent" or "subsidiary" of the Corporation (as defined in section 424 of the Code), then the following special provisions shall be applicable to the option granted to that U.S. Optionee:

(1) the purchase price of the Shares subject to such Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of one Share at the time of the grant; and
(2) the term of such option shall in no event exceed five years from the date of the grant;
(3) the total number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan as Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed 3,900,000, subject to adjustment as provided herein and subject to the maximum number of Shares reserved under the Plan as set out herein;
(4) no Incentive Stock Option granted under this Plan shall become exercisable until this Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company;
(5) any Incentive Stock Option may be exercised during the U.S. Optionee's lifetime only by the U.S. Optionee;
(6) the determination of the option exercise price and the number of shares subject to the option after any adjustment provided for herein shall be made in accordance with the rules set forth in sections 409A and 424 of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder; and
(7) each of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2 is intended to qualify any option as an Incentive Stock Option to the greatest extent possible, and such provisions shall be interpreted consistently with such intent. No provision of this Plan, as it may be applied to an Incentive Stock Option, shall be construed so as to be inconsistent with any provision of section 422 of the Code.

(d) Unless otherwise approved by the Board, the aggregate value of Shares issued to all Optionees within any consecutive 12-month period pursuant to the exercise of options granted under this

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


Plan and any of the Company's other security-based compensation arrangements shall not exceed the greatest of:

(i) $1,000,000 USD;
(ii) 15% of the total assets of the Company, measured at its most recent annual balance sheet date; or
(iii) 15% of the outstanding Shares, measured at the Company's most recent annual balance sheet date.

For purposes of this Section 6.2, the method of calculating the aggregate value of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of options shall be made in compliance with Rule 701 of the U.S. Securities Act.

Subject to the terms of any employment, consulting or settlement agreement between the Company and a Participant, neither this Plan nor any of the provisions hereof shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to employment, engagement or continued employment or engagement with the Company or any Affiliate or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate such employment or engagement at any time; nor shall anything in the Plan or any Option be deemed or construed to constitute an agreement, or an expression of intent, on the part of the Company or any Affiliate to extend the employment or engagement of any Participant beyond the date on which the Participant would normally be retired pursuant to the provisions of any present or future retirement plan of the Company or any Affiliate, or beyond the date on which his relationship with the Company or any Affiliate would otherwise be terminated pursuant to the provisions of any employment, consulting or other contract for services with the Company or any Affiliate.

A Participant shall not have any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any of the Unissued Option Shares covered by such Option until such holder shall have exercised such Option in accordance with the terms of the Plan (including tendering payment in full of the Option exercise price of the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised) and such underlying Shares have been issued.

7.2 Necessary Approvals

(a) The Plan shall be effective only upon the approval of the shareholders of the Company given by way of an ordinary resolution. Any Options granted under this Plan prior to such approval shall only be exercised upon the receipt of such approval. Disinterested shareholder approval (as required by the Exchange) will be obtained for any reduction in the exercise price or extending the term of any Option granted under this Plan if the Participant is an Insider of the Company at the time of the proposed amendment. The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Shares in accordance with the Plan is subject to the approval of the Exchange and any governmental authority having jurisdiction. If any Shares cannot be issued to any Participant for any reason, including, without limitation, the failure to obtain such approval, then the obligation of the Company to issue such Shares shall terminate and

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


any Option Price paid by a Participant to the Company shall be immediately refunded to the Participant by the Company.

(b) The Company will obtain disinterested shareholder approval (as required by the Exchange) if stock options under the Plan, together with all of the Company's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, could result in the number of shares reserved for issuance at the time of grant (i) to Insiders (as a group) exceeding 10% of the issued shares at any point in time; (ii) to Insiders (as a group) exceeding 10% of the issued shares within any 12 month period; or (iii) to any one Participant exceeding 5% of the issued shares within any 12 month period.

7.3 Administration of the Plan

The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a committee of the Board duly appointed for this purpose by the Board. If a committee is appointed for this purpose, all references herein to the Board will be deemed to be references to this committee of the Board. Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Board shall have the authority to (i) grant Options; (ii) determine the terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions respecting such grants; (iii) interpret the Plan and adopt, amend and rescind such administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable; and (iv) make all other determinations and take all other actions in connection with the implementation and administration of the Plan. The Board shall, without limitation, have full and final authority in its discretion, but subject to the express provisions of the Plan, to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable in respect of the Plan. Except as set forth in Section 5.4, the interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan by the Board shall be final and conclusive. The Board may delegate to the appropriate employees or officers of the Company such administrative duties and powers as it may see fit. All administration costs of the Plan shall be paid by the Company. No member of the Board or any person acting pursuant to the authority delegated by it hereunder shall be liable for any action or determination in connection with the Plan made or taken in good faith.

7.4 Income Taxes

(a) If the Company or any Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that it is required under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any other applicable law to make any source or income tax deductions in respect of employee stock option benefits (including, without limitation, income and payroll withholding taxes imposed by any jurisdiction) and to remit to the applicable governmental authority an amount on account of tax on the value of the taxable benefit associated with the issuance of Options or Shares under this Plan, the Company or any Affiliate may implement any appropriate procedures at its sole discretion to ensure that such tax withholding obligations are met. These procedures may include, without limitation, (i) a requirement that the Participant pay to the Company or any Affiliate, in addition to the exercise price for the Options, sufficient cash as is reasonably determined by the Company or the Affiliate to be the amount necessary to permit the required tax remittance; (ii) the issuance of Shares by the Company or the Affiliate upon exercise of the Options to an agent on behalf of the Participant, with such agent being authorized to sell in the market, on behalf of the Participant, on such terms and at such time or times as the Company or the Affiliate determines, a portion of the Shares issued with any cash proceeds

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


realized on such sale to be remitted to, and used by, the Company or the Affiliate to satisfy the required tax remittance; or (iii) other arrangements acceptable to the Company or the Affiliate to fund the required tax remittance.

(b) Each Participant (or their beneficiaries) shall be responsible for all taxes with respect to any Options granted to such Participant under this Plan, whether as a result of the grant or exercise of Options or otherwise. The Company makes no guarantee to any person regarding the tax treatment of Options and none of the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to any Participant with respect thereto.

7.5 Amendments to the Plan

(a) The Board may from time to time, subject to applicable law and to the prior approval, if required, of the Exchange or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company or the Plan, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Plan at any time, or amend or revise the terms of the Plan or of any Option granted under the Plan and the Option Agreement relating thereto, provided that no such amendment, revision, suspension, termination or discontinuance shall materially adversely affect the terms or conditions of any Option previously granted to a Participant under the Plan without the consent of that Participant or materially and adversely impair any right of any Participant under any Option granted prior to the date of any such amendment or termination without the consent of such Participant. If this Plan is terminated, the provisions of this Plan and any administrative guidelines, and other rules adopted by the Board and in force at the time of this Plan, will continue in effect as long as any Options under the Plan or any rights pursuant thereto remain outstanding. However, notwithstanding the termination of the Plan, the Board may make any amendments to the Plan or Options it would be entitled to make if the Plan were still in effect.

(b) Subject to subsection (c) below, the Board may at any time, and from time to time, and without shareholder approval, amend any provision of the Plan, or any Options granted hereunder, or terminate the Plan, subject to any applicable regulatory or stock exchange requirements or approval at the time of such amendment or termination, including, without limitation:

(i) amendments relating to the exercise of Options, including by the inclusion of a cashless exercise feature whereby payment is in cash or Shares or otherwise;

(ii) amendments relating to the expiry of outstanding Options;

(iii) amendments deemed by the Board to be necessary or advisable because of any change in applicable securities laws or other laws;

(iv) amendments relating to the assignability or transferability of Options;

(v) amendments to the definitions set out in Section 2;

(vi) amendments to the change of control provisions;

(vii) amendments relating to the administration of the Plan;

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


(viii) amendments to the vesting provisions of any outstanding Option(s);
(ix) amendments to the class of participants eligible to participate under the Plan;
(x) any other amendment, fundamental or otherwise, not requiring shareholder approval under applicable laws or the rules of the Exchange, including amendments of a "clerical" or "housekeeping" nature.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, the Board shall not be permitted to amend:

(i) the Plan in order to increase the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan so as to increase or remove the Insider participation limits;
(ii) the amending provisions of Section 7.5;
(iii) the exercise price of any Option issued under the Plan to an Insider where such amendment reduces the exercise price of such Option; or
(iv) the term of any Option issued under the Plan to an Insider where such amendment extends the term of such Option;

in each case without first having obtained the approval required by the Exchange, if any.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to the Plan shall be subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals including, without limitation, the approval of the Exchange.

7.6 Form of Notice

A notice given to the Company shall be in writing, signed by the Participant and delivered to the head business office of the Company.

7.7 No Representation or Warranty

The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the future market value of any Shares issued in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

7.8 Compliance with Applicable Law

The Plan, the grant and exercise of Options hereunder and the Company's obligation to sell and deliver Shares upon exercise of Options shall be subject to all applicable federal, provincial and foreign laws, rules and regulations, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange(s) on which the Shares are listed for trading and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be required. The Company shall not be obligated by any provision of the Plan or the grant of any Option hereunder to issue or sell Shares in violation of such laws, rules and regulations or any condition of such approvals. In addition, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any Shares pursuant to the Plan unless such Shares shall have been duly listed, upon official notice of issuance, with all stock exchanges on which the Shares are listed for trading.

1391-5680-7194, v. 8.5


In this connection the Company shall, to the extent necessary, take all reasonable steps to obtain such approvals, registrations and qualifications as may be necessary for issuances of such Shares in compliance with applicable laws and for the admission to listing of such Shares on any stock exchange on which the Shares are then listed. Shares issued and sold to Participants pursuant to the exercise of Options may be subject to limitations on sale or resale under applicable securities laws.

7.9 No Assignment

No Participant may assign any of his or her rights under the Plan or any option granted thereunder other than in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

7.10 Securities Laws of the United States of America

Neither the Options which may be granted pursuant to the provisions of the Plan nor the Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options have been registered under 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 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 make certain representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements as counsel to the Company may advise and may be subject to restrictions on the disposition of the Shares.
