|------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 6.1   | The number of Shares under an Option shall be determined by the Board or Committee, in its discretion, at the time such Option is granted, taking into consideration the Optionee’s present and potential contribution to the success of the Company and taking into account all other Options then held by such Optionee, but subject always to the limitations set forth in subsection 5.1. |

|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 9.2   | If and for so long as the Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (excluding any senior stock exchange), Options issued to Consultants who perform Investor Relations Activities will be subject to a vesting schedule whereby no more than 25% of the options granted may be vested in any three month period. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 9.3   | If there is a takeover bid made for all or any of the issued and outstanding Shares, then all outstanding Options, whether fully vested and exercisable or remaining subject to vesting provisions or other limitations on exercise, shall be exercisable in full to enable the Shares subject to such Options to be issued and tendered to such bid. |
|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 11.1   | An outstanding Option shall remain in full force and effect and exercisable according to its terms for the Option Period until the Optionee ceases to be a Director, Employee, Non-Employee Director, Management Company Employee, Senior Officer or Consultant of the Company for any reason, excluding death or termination for cause, after which time the Option will expire within 90 days or, for those Optionees engaged in Investor Relations Activities, the Options will expire within 30 days of the cessation date, unless, the Board or Committee, at its own discretion, agrees to extend the period. |
|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 11.2   | In the event that the Optionee, shall cease to be a Director, Senior Officer, Employee, Management Company Employee, or Consultant of the Company for termination for cause, the Option shall terminate and shall cease to be exercisable upon such termination for cause. |

| 12.1   | Following the date an Option is granted, the exercise price for and the number of Shares which are subject to an Option will be adjusted, with respect to the then unexercised portion thereof, in the events and in accordance with the provisions and rules set out in this section 12, with the intent that the rights of Optionees under their Options are, to the extent possible, preserved and maintained notwithstanding the occurrence of such events.  Any dispute that arises at any time with respect to any adjustment pursuant to such provisions and rules will be conclusively determined by the Board or Committee, and any such determination will be binding on the Company, the Optionee and all other affected parties. |
|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 12.2   | If the outstanding Shares are changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or into or for other securities of the Company or securities of another company or entity, whether through an arrangement, amalgamation, merger, business combination, sale or other similar procedure or otherwise, or a share recapitalization, subdivision or consolidation, then on each exercise of the Option which occurs following such events, for each Optioned Share for which the Option is exercised, the Optionee shall instead receive the number and kind of shares or other securities of the Company or other company into which such Share would have been changed or for which such Share would have been exchanged if it had been outstanding on the date of such event and the exercise price will be similarly adjusted so that the aggregate price to exercise the Option is preserved, and if the Company undertakes an arrangement or is amalgamated, merged or combined with another company, the Board shall make such other provision for the protection of the rights of Optionees as it shall deem advisable. |
|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----

| 12.3   | If the outstanding Shares are changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or into or for other securities of the Company or securities of another company or entity, in a manner other than as specified in subsection 12.2, then the Board or Committee, in its sole discretion, may make such adjustment to the securities to be issued pursuant to any exercise of the Option and the exercise price to be paid for each such security following such event as the Board or Committee in its sole and absolute discretion determines to be equitable to give effect to the principle described in subsection 12.1, and such adjustments shall be effective and binding upon the Company and the Optionee and all the other parties for all purposes. |
|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 12.4   | No adjustment or substitution provided for in this section 12 shall require the Company to issue a fractional share in respect of any Option.  Fractional shares shall be eliminated. |
|------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 12.5   | The grant or existence of an Option shall not in any way limit or restrict the right or power of the Company to effect adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, arrangements or changes of its capital or business structure, or to amalgamate, merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. |
|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 15.2   | The obligation of the Company to issue and deliver Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Options granted under the Plan is subject to the acceptance of the Plan for filing by the TSXV.

The Board or Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed upon any certificates for the Shares to make appropriate reference to applicable resale restrictions, and the Optionee or recipient shall be bound by such restrictions.  The Board or Committee also may take such other action or require such other action or agreement by such Optionee or proposed recipient as may from time to time be necessary to comply with applicable securities laws.  This provision shall in no way obligate the Company to undertake the registration or qualification of any Options or the Shares under any securities laws applicable to the securities of the Company. |
|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 16.3   | The Company may withhold from any amount payable to a participant (a “Participant”), either under the Plan or otherwise, such amount as may be necessary to enable the Company to comply with the applicable requirements of any federal, provincial, state or local law, or any administrative policy of any applicable tax authority, relating to the withholding of tax or any other required deductions with respect to awards hereunder (“Withholding Obligations”). The Company shall also have the right in its discretion to satisfy any liability for any Withholding Obligations by selling, or causing a broker to sell, on behalf of any Participant such number of Shares issued to the Participant pursuant to an exercise of Options hereunder as is sufficient to fund the Withholding Obligations (after deducting commissions payable to the broker), or retaining any amount payable which would otherwise be delivered, provided or paid to the Participant hereunder. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition to the exercise of an Option to make such arrangements as the Company may require so that the Company can satisfy applicable Withholding Obligations, including, without limitation, requiring the Participant to (i) remit the amount of any such Withholding Obligations to the Company in advance; (ii) reimburse the Company for any such Withholding Obligations; or (iii) cause a broker who sells shares acquired by the Participant under the Plan on behalf of the Participant to withhold from the proceeds realized from such sale the amount required to satisfy any such Withholding Obligations and to remit such amount directly to the Company. |

| 16.4   | Any Shares of a Participant that are sold by the Company, or by a broker engaged by the Company (the “Broker”), to fund Withholding Obligations will be sold as soon as practicable in transactions effected on the exchange on which the common shares of the Company are then listed for trading. In effecting the sale of any such Shares, the Company or the Broker will exercise its sole judgment as to the timing and manner of sale and will not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price. Neither the Company nor the Broker will be liable for any loss arising |
