Article 16



Effects of Alteration of Share Capital



In the event that the outstanding Shares of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company or of another corporation, whether through an arrangement, amalgamation or other similar statutory procedure, or a share recapitalization, subdivision or consolidation, then there shall be substituted for each Share subject to any such Option, for each Share authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan but not yet covered by an Option and the maximum number of Shares issuable, the number and kind of securities into which each outstanding Share shall be so changed or for which each Share shall be exchanged.



In the event there shall be any change, other than as specified about in this Article, in the number or kind of outstanding Shares of the Company or of any securities into which such Shares shall have been changed or for which it shall be been exchanged, then an equitable adjustment shall be made in the number or kind of shares theretofor authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan but not yet covered by an Option, of the Shares then subject to any Option or Options, and in the maximum number of Shares issuable, such adjustment to be reasonably determined by the Board and to be effective and binding for all purposes.



In the case of any such substitution or adjustment as provided for in this Article, the Option Price in each Option agreement for each Share covered thereby prior to such substitution or adjustment will be proportionately and appropriately varied. Such variation shall generally require that the number of securities covered by the Option after the relevant event multiplied by the revised Option Price shall equal the number of Shares covered by the Option prior to the relevant event multiplied by the original Option Price. No adjustment or substitution provided for in this Article shall require the Company in any Option agreement to issue a fractional Share and the I total substitution or adjustment with respect to each Option agreement shall be limited accordingly.



Article 17



Options to United States Persons



If Options are granted to any resident or citizen of the United States, the Board and the Company will use their best efforts to ensure that all matters pertaining to such Options shall be made in compliance with applicable United States securities laws.
