Option until such Shares have been paid for in full and issued.

11.7 No Participant or other person shall have any claim or right to be
granted Options under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall interfere with the right of the employer of a Participant to terminate that Participants employment at any time. Neither any period of notice nor any
payment in lieu thereof upon termination of employment shall be considered as extending the period of employment for the purposes of the Plan.

appropriate under the Plan in respect of any leave of absence or disability of any Participant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board shall be entitled to determine (i) whether or not any such leave of absence shall

limitation, whether or not such leave of absence shall cause any Options to expire and the impact upon the time or times such Options shall become exercisable).

11.9 This Plan and any Options granted hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
