10.1 Unless an annual general meeting is deferred or waived in
accordance with the Act, the Company must hold an annual general meeting at
least once in each calendar year and not more than 15 months after its last
annual reference date.

Resolution Instead of Annual General Meeting

10.2 If all the shareholders who are entitled to vote at an
annual general meeting consent in writing by a unanimous resolution under the
Act to all of the business that is required to be transacted at that annual
general meeting, the annual general meeting is deemed to have been held on the
date of the unanimous resolution. The shareholders must, in any unanimous
resolution passed under this §10.2, select as the Companys annual reference
date a date that would be appropriate for the holding of the applicable annual
general meeting.

Calling of Meetings of Shareholders

10.3 The directors may, whenever they think fit, call a meeting
of shareholders.

Notice for Meetings of Shareholders

10.4 The Company must send notice of the date, time and
location of any meeting of shareholders, in the manner provided in these
Articles, or in such other manner, if any, as may be prescribed by ordinary
resolution (whether previous notice of the resolution has been given or not), to
each shareholder entitled to attend the meeting, to each director and to the
auditor of the Company, unless these Articles otherwise provide, at least the
following number of days before the meeting:

(a) if the Company is a public company, 21 days;

(b) otherwise, 10 days.

Record Date for Notice

10.5 The directors may set a date as the record date for the
purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting of
shareholders. The record date must not precede the date on which the meeting is
to be held by more than two months or, in the case of a general meeting
requisitioned by shareholders under the Act, by more than four months. The
record date must not precede the date on which the meeting is held by fewer
than:

(a) if the Company is a public company, 21 days;

(b) otherwise, 10 days.

---

- 11 -

If no record date is set, the record date is 5 p.m. on the day
immediately preceding the first date on which the notice is sent or, if no
notice is sent, the beginning of the meeting.

Record Date for Voting

10.6 The directors may set a date as the record date for the
purpose of determining shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders. The record date must not precede the date on which the meeting is
to be held by more than two months or, in the case of a general meeting
requisitioned by shareholders under the Act, by more than four months. If no
record date is set, the record date is 5 p.m. on the day immediately preceding
the first date on which the notice is sent or, if no notice is sent, the
beginning of the meeting.

Failure to Give Notice and Waiver of Notice

10.7 The accidental omission to send notice of any meeting to,
or the non-receipt of any notice by, any of the persons entitled to notice does
not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting. Any person entitled to notice of
a meeting of shareholders may, in writing or otherwise, waive or reduce the
period of notice of such meeting.

Notice of Special Business at Meetings of
Shareholders

10.8 If a meeting of shareholders is to consider special
business within the meaning of §11.1, the notice of meeting must:

special business; and

(b) if the special business includes
considering, approving, ratifying, adopting or authorizing any document or the

the document or state that a copy of the document will be available for
inspection by shareholders:

(i) at the Companys records office,
or at such other reasonably accessible location in British Columbia as is
specified in the notice; and

(ii) during statutory business hours
on any one or more specified days before the day set for the holding of the
meeting.

commencement of the meeting, but such quorum need not be present throughout the
meeting.

or of any committee of the directors in person or by telephone if all directors
participating in the meeting, whether in person or by telephone , are able to
communicate with each other. A director may participate in a meeting of the
directors or of any committee of the directors by a communications medium other
than telephone if all directors participating in the meeting, whether in person
or by telephone or other communications medium, are able to communicate with
each other and if all directors who wish to participate in the meeting agree to
such participation. A director who participates in a meeting in a manner
contemplated by this §18.4 is deemed for all purposes of the Act and these
Articles to be present at the meeting and to have agreed to participate in that
manner.

secretary of the Company, if any, on the request of a director must, call a
meeting of the directors at any time.

of the directors, specifying the place, day and time of that meeting must be
given to each of the directors by any method set out in §24.1 or orally or by

When Notice Not Required

18.7 It is not necessary to give notice of a meeting of the
directors to a director if:

immediately following a meeting of shareholders at which that director was
elected or appointed, or is the meeting of the directors at which that director
is appointed; or

(b) the director has waived notice of
the meeting.

Meeting Valid Despite Failure to Give Notice

18.8 The accidental omission to give notice of any meeting of
directors to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any director, does not
invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.

Waiver of Notice of Meetings

18.9 Any director may send to the Company a document signed by
him or her waiving notice of any past, present or future meeting or meetings of
the directors and may at any time withdraw that waiver with respect to meetings
held after that withdrawal. After sending a waiver with respect to all future
meetings and until that waiver is withdrawn, no notice of any meeting

of the directors need be given to that director and all
meetings of the directors so held are deemed not to be improperly called or
constituted by reason of notice not having been given to such director.

Quorum

18.10 The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business
of the directors may be set by the directors and, if not so set, is deemed to be
a majority of the directors or, if the number of directors is set at one, is
deemed to be set at one director, and that director may constitute a
meeting.

Validity of Acts Where Appointment Defective

18.11 Subject to the Act, an act of a director or officer is
not invalid merely because of an irregularity in the election or appointment or
a defect in the qualification of that director or officer.

Consent Resolutions in Writing

18.12 A resolution of the directors or of any committee of the
directors may be passed without a meeting:

(a) in all cases, if each of the
directors entitled to vote on the resolution consents to it in writing; or

(b) in the case of a resolution to
approve a contract or transaction in respect of which a director has disclosed
that he or she has or may have a disclosable interest, if each of the other
directors who are entitled to vote on the resolution consents to it in
writing.

18.13 A consent in writing under this Article may be by signed
document, fax, email or any other method of transmitting legibly recorded
messages. A consent in writing may be in two or more counterparts which together
are deemed to constitute one consent in writing. A resolution of the directors
or of any committee of the directors passed in accordance with this §18.12 is
effective on the date stated in the consent in writing or on the latest date
stated on any counterpart and is deemed to be a proceeding at a meeting of
directors or of the committee of the directors and to be as valid and effective
as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors or of the committee of
the directors that satisfies all the requirements of the Act and all the
requirements of these Articles relating to meetings of the directors or of a
committee of the directors.
