	11.	APPROVAL, TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF PLAN 

 11.1 Shareholder Approval – The
establishment of the Plan shall be subject to approval of the TSXV and the shareholders of the Corporation (the “Shareholders”). In addition, all Options granted pursuant to the Plan prior to the approval thereof by the Shareholders shall
also be subject to approval of the Shareholders provided that all Options granted subsequent to such approval of the Shareholders shall not require approval by the Shareholders unless such approval is required by the regulatory authorities or stock
exchanges having jurisdiction over the affairs of the Corporation. 







 11.2 Effective Date and Duration of Plan – The Plan becomes effective on the date of its
adoption by the Board and Options may be granted immediately thereafter. The Plan shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Board shall terminate the Plan, and for so long thereafter as Options remain outstanding in favour of any
Participant. 
 11.3 No Grant During Suspension of Plan – No Option may be granted during any suspension, or after termination, of
the Plan. Amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option previously granted. 

 

	12.	CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ISSUANCE OF SHARES 

 12.1 Compliance with Laws – Shares shall
not be issued with respect to an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, any applicable United States’ state
securities laws, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations thereunder and the requirements of any Exchange or automated interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association upon which
such Shares may then be listed or quoted, and such issuance shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Corporation with respect to such compliance, including the availability of an exemption from registration for the issuance and
sale of such Shares. The inability of the Corporation to obtain from any regulatory body the authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares under this Plan, or the unavailability of an exemption
from registration for the issuance and sale of any Shares under this Plan, shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of such Shares other than with respect to a
refund of any Option Price paid. 
  

	13.	USE OF PROCEEDS 

 13.1 Use of Proceeds – Proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to

 14.1 Notices – All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or
permitted to be given under this Plan and the Options granted under this Plan shall be in writing and shall be either delivered personally to the party to whom notice is to be given, in which case notice shall be deemed to have been duly given on
the date of such personal delivery; telecopied, in which case notice shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date the telecopy is sent; or mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given, by first class mail, registered or certified, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to the party at his or its most recent known address, in which case such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given on the tenth postal delivery day following the date of such mailing.
