Gold Reserve Inc. 

 

2012 Equity Incentive Plan

(as amended and restated hereby) 

SECTION 1.ESTABLISHMENT, PURPOSE,
AND EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN

Establishment. Gold Reserve Inc.,
an Alberta corporation (the “Company”), the parent company of Gold Reserve Corporation, a Montana corporation, has previously
adopted and assumed the “1997 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN” originally established by Gold Reserve Corporation, as amended and restated
(the “1997 Plan”). The Company has also previously adopted and assumed the “VENEZUELAN EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN”
as amended and restated (the “Venezuelan Plan”). The 1997 Plan and the Venezuelan Plan were both for the employees, officers,
directors and Consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and both plans permit the grant of stock options, which are exercisable
for Class A Common Shares of the Company, as well as the grant of restricted Class A Common Shares of the Company.

Effective as of the 2012 Plan Approval Date
(defined below), all stock options issued and outstanding pursuant to the 1997 Plan and the Venezuelan Plan (collectively the “Retired
Plans”) became governed by this 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “2012 Plan”)
and the Retired Plans were terminated. The Company and the Retired Plan participants have taken all steps necessary and made all filings
required to give effect to this termination. For certainty, after the 2012 Plan Approval Date, no new issuances pursuant to the Retired
Plans will be made and until such times as the shareholders of the Company decide otherwise, all stock options will be issued pursuant
to the terms of this 2012 Plan.

Purpose. The purpose of the 2012 Plan,
as amended and restated hereby, is to advance the interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and promote continuity of management by
encouraging and providing employees, officers, directors and Consultants with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company
and to participate in the increase in shareholder value as reflected in the growth in the price of the Stock and by enabling the Company
and its Subsidiaries to attract and retain the services of employees, officers, directors, and Consultants upon whose judgment, interest,
skills, and special effort the successful conduct of its operations is largely dependent.

Effective Date and Amendments. The
2012 Plan became effective on May 17, 2012 (the “2012 Plan Approval Date”). The 2012 Plan was approved by the shareholders
of the Company on June 27, 2012 and re-approved on June 11, 2013. In 2014, the Board (as defined below) approved an amendment and restatement
of the 2012 Plan from a 10% “rolling” incentive stock option plan to a “fixed” plan with the maximum number of
shares issuable thereunder fixed at 7,550,000, representing less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares of the Company
at the relevant date. On September 19, 2016, the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the 2012 Plan to increase the maximum
number of shares issuable thereunder to 8,750,000, representing less than 10% of the issued and outstanding
Class A Common Shares of the Company at such date. Such amendment was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange on October
6, 2016. On May 18, 2021, the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the 2012 Plan to increase the maximum number of shares
thereunder to 9,939,500, representing less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares of the Company at such date. Such
amendment was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange on June 21, 2021.

and to its long-term financial success.

In the case of Options granted to employees,
Consultants or Management Company Employees, the Company and the Optionee will represent in all Option Agreements that the Optionee is

SECTION 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

Stock subject to issuance under the 2012 Plan, under all security based compensation arrangements including the 2012 Plan and the Retired
Plans, shall not exceed 9,939,500.

In addition to other restrictions set out in

shares of Stock, subject to adjustment in the event of a Change in Capitalization as provided below.

The Company must obtain disinterested Stockholder
approval of Options if:

		(i)	the number of Class A Common Shares reserved for issuance under Options granted to Insiders exceeding

month period.

The Committee shall have the full authority
to determine the number of shares of Stock available for Awards. In its discretion the Committee may include (without limitation), as
available for distribution: (a) Stock subject to any Award that has been previously forfeited; (b) Stock under an Award that otherwise
terminates, expires, or lapses without the issuance of Stock being made to a Participant; (c) Stock subject to any Award that settles

Adjustment in Capitalization.

		a)	In the event of a Change in Capitalization, the Committee shall conclusively determine, in its sole discretion,
the appropriate adjustments, if any, to (i) the maximum number and class of shares of Stock or other securities with respect to which
Options may be granted under the 2012 Plan; (ii) the number and class of shares of Stock or other securities which are subject to outstanding

457A and the regulations and other governmental guidance issued thereunder.

		c)	If, by reason of a Change in Capitalization, an Optionee shall be entitled to exercise an Option with
respect to new, additional or different shares of Stock or securities, such new, additional or different shares shall thereupon be subject
to all of the conditions, restrictions and performance criteria which were applicable to the Stock subject to the Option, as the case
may be, prior to such Change in Capitalization.

SECTION 5. DURATION OF 2012 PLAN

SECTION 6. OPTION GRANTS

Grant of Options. Subject to Sections
4 and 5, Options may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as determined by the Committee. The Committee shall
have complete discretion consistent with the terms of the 2012 Plan in determining whether to grant Options, and the number of Options
to be granted. Only an employee, officer, director or Consultant of the Company or its Subsidiaries on the date of grant shall be eligible
to be granted an Option.

Option Agreement. Each Option shall
be evidenced by an Option Agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the Option Price, the duration of the Option, the number
of shares of Stock to which the Option pertains and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine, it being understood that if
the expiry date of an Option falls during a Blackout Period, such Option will expire no later than the 10th business day after
the expiry of the Blackout Period.

Option Price. The Option Price for each
Option shall be determined by, or in the manner specified by, the Committee provided that no Option shall have an Option Price that is,
on the date the Option is granted, less than Fair Market Value. In the case of a proposed reduction in exercise price of any Option, disinterested
Stockholder approval will be obtained if the Optionee is an Insider of the Company at the time of the proposed amendment;

Duration of Options. Each Option shall
have a maximum duration of ten years from the time it is granted.

Exercise of Options. Each Option
granted under the 2012 Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall
in each instance approve. Such restrictions and conditions need not be the same for each Participant.

SECTION 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
APPLICABLE TO ALL OPTIONS

Payment. The Committee
shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment, at the time of grant.
Subject to applicable laws, such consideration may consist entirely of cash or check.

Restrictions on Stock Transferability.
The Committee may impose such restrictions on any shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option under the 2012 Plan as
it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable provincial securities law, under applicable U.S. federal
and state securities law, under requirements of any Exchange and under any U.S. blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such shares.

Termination Due to Retirement. If the
employment of the Optionee is terminated due to the Retirement (as hereinafter defined) of the Optionee, or if the directorship of the
Optionee expires, any then outstanding options under the 2012 Plan may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration
date of the Options or twelve (12) months after the date of retirement. For purposes of the 2012 Plan, retirement shall mean any termination
of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary occurring after the completion of 10 years of service with the Company and the attainment
of age 60 by the Optionee.

Termination Due to Death or Disability.
The rights of an Optionee under any then outstanding Option granted to the Optionee pursuant to the 2012 Plan if the employment, officer
role or directorship of the Optionee is terminated by reason of death or Disability shall survive for up to the earlier of the expiration
date of the Options or one year after such death or Disability.

Termination of Employment for Cause.
Anything contained herein or an Award agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the termination of an Optionee’s employment
with the Company or a Subsidiary is as a

    	6 

    	 

    

result of or caused by the Optionee’s
theft or embezzlement from the Company or a Subsidiary, the violation of a material term or condition of his or her employment, the disclosure
by the Optionee of confidential information of the Company or a Subsidiary, conviction of the Optionee of a crime of moral turpitude,
the Optionee’s stealing trade secrets or intellectual property owned by the Company or a Subsidiary, any act by the Optionee in
competition with the Company or a Subsidiary, or any other act, activity or conduct of the Optionee which in the opinion of the Committee
is adverse to the best interests of the Company or a Subsidiary, then any Options and any and all rights granted to such Optionee thereunder,
to the extent not yet effectively exercised, shall become null and void effective as of the date of the occurrence of the event which
results in the Optionee ceasing to be an employee, officer or director of the Company or a Subsidiary, and any purported exercise of an
Option by or on behalf of said Optionee following such date shall be of no effect.

Involuntary Termination of Employment. Options
granted under the 2012 Plan after the 2012 Plan Approval Date may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration date
of the Options or within thirty (30) days after the involuntary termination of employment (as hereinafter defined) of the Optionee with
the Company, or applicable Subsidiary, but the Options may not be exercised for more than the number of shares, if any, as to which the
Options were exercisable by the Optionee immediately prior to such termination of employment, as determined by reference to the terms
and conditions specified at the time such Options were granted. For purposes of the 2012 Plan, “involuntary termination of employment”
shall mean any termination of an Optionee’s employment with the Company or applicable Subsidiary, by reason of the discharge, firing
or other involuntary termination of an Optionee’s employment by action of the Company or applicable Subsidiary other than an involuntary
termination for cause as described in the paragraph above, or if the employee otherwise continued in the employment of another Subsidiary
of the Company.

Voluntary Termination of Employment. Options
granted under the 2012 Plan after the 2012 Plan Approval Date may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration date
of the Options or within ninety (90) days after the voluntary termination of employment (as hereinafter defined) of the Optionee with
the Company, or applicable Subsidiary, but the options may not be exercised for more than the number of shares, if any, as to which the
Options were exercisable by the Optionee immediately prior to such termination of employment, as determined by reference to the terms
and conditions specified at the time such options were granted. For purposes of the 2012 Plan “voluntary termination of employment”
shall mean any voluntary termination of employment by reason of the Optionee’s quitting or otherwise voluntarily leaving the Company’s,
or Subsidiary’s, employ other than a (a) voluntary termination of employment by reason of Retirement, (b) voluntary termination
of employment for cause or (c) termination of employment as described above. 

Cease to be a Director, Officer, Consultant
or Management Company Employee. Unless otherwise set out in the 2012 Plan, any Options granted to any
Optionee who is a director, officer, employee, Consultant or Management Company Employee shall expire within a reasonable period following
the date the Optionee ceases to be in that role, such period to be determined by the Board or Committee at the time such Option is granted.

Transferability and Exercisability of Options.

No Option shall be transferable or assignable
by the Optionee other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) by a qualified domestic relations order (as
defined in the Code or Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder). All
Options shall be exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee or by the guardian or legal representative of
the Optionee or its alternate payee pursuant to such qualified domestic relations order, it being understood that the terms “holder”
and “optionee” include the guardian and legal representative of the Optionee named in the Option Agreement and any person
to whom an Option is transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order
permitted by the 2012 Plan. In all cases of such a transfer, unless otherwise set out in this 2012 Plan, the Option in question shall
expire on the date that is the first anniversary of such transfer.

SECTION 10. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

Beneficiary Designation. Subject
to Sections 7 and 9, each Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or
successively) to whom any benefit under the 2012 Plan is to be paid in case of the Participant’s death before he or she receives
any or all of such benefit. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed
by the Committee and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Committee during the life time of the Participant.
In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the estate of the
Participant.

SECTION 11. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS

Employment. Nothing in the 2012 Plan
shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment, directorship,
officer role or service at any time nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service or as a director or
officer of the Company or any Subsidiary. No person shall have a right to be selected as a Participant or, having been so selected, to
be selected again as an Optionee. The preceding sentence shall not be construed or applied so as to deny a person any participation in
the 2012 Plan solely because he or she was a Participant in connection with a prior grant of benefits under the 2012 Plan.

SECTION 12. ADMINISTRATION; POWERS
AND DUTIES OF THE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD

Administration.

		(a)	The Committee shall be responsible for the administration of the 2012 Plan

made or taken in good faith with respect to the 2012 Plan, and all members of the Committee shall be fully indemnified by the Company
with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation.

the terms and conditions, not inconsistent
with the terms of the 2012 Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise
price, the time or times when Options may be exercised or other Awards vest (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting
acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the shares of Stock relating

the terms of the 2012 Plan and Awards; (viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2012 Plan or the Retired

foreign tax laws; (ix) to modify or amend each Award (subject to this Section), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination
exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise provided for in the 2012 Plan; (x) to authorize any person to execute on behalf
of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted under the 2012 Plan; (xi) to allow Participants
to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Stock or cash to be issued upon exercise or vesting
of an Award that number of shares of Stock or cash having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld (but
no more). The Fair Market Value of any Stock to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to
be determined. All elections by a Participant to have Stock or cash withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such
conditions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable; (xii) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to Awards; (xiii)
to determine whether Awards will be adjusted for changes in capitalization (including dividends); (xiv) to impose such restrictions, conditions
or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant or other subsequent transfers
by a Participant of any Stock issued as a result of or under an Award, including without limitation, (A) restrictions under an insider
trading policy, and (B) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers; and (xv) to make
all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the 2012 Plan.

Change in Control.

Committee as provided herein, the Committee, either at the time an Award is granted, or at any time thereafter, shall have the authority
to take such actions as it deems advisable, including the right to accelerate in whole or in part the exercisability of Options upon a
Change in Control. Nothing herein shall obligate the Committee to take any action upon a Change in Control.

 

(b) “Change in Control”
means the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

		i.	The acquisition by any individual entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2)
of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of equity securities
of the Company representing more than 25 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding equity securities of the Company entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”), provided, however, that for
purposes of this subsection (i) the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) any acquisition by the Company,
(B) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled
by the Company, and (C) an acquisition pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (A), (B), and (C) of subsection (iii); or

 

		ii.	A change in the composition of the Board as of the 2012 Plan Approval Date (the “Incumbent Board”)
that causes less than a majority of the directors of the Company then in office to be members of the Incumbent Board provided, however,
that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the 2012 Plan Approval Date, whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s
shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as
though such individual were a member

    	9 

    	 

    

of the Incumbent Board, but excluding,
for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest
with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf
of a person other than the Board; or

 

		iii.	Consummation of a reorganization, merger, or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company or the purchase of assets or stock of another entity (a “Business Combination”), in each
case, unless immediately following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination will beneficially own, directly
or indirectly, more than 50 percent of the then outstanding combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors (or equivalent governing body, if applicable) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination
(including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all of substantially all of the Company’s
assets directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such
Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, (B) no person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than a majority
of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such entity except to the extent that such ownership of the
Company existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or equivalent
governing body, if applicable) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination will have been members of the Incumbent Board at
the time of the initial agreement, or action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

 

		iv.	Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

 

		v.	Any other event or series of events which the Board reasonably determines should constitute a Change in
Control.

 

Nothing in this Section 12 prevents the Committee
from providing for an alternative definition of “Change in Control” in any Award agreement or related employment, change of
control or other agreement that sets forth the rights with respect to any Award. In the event of any conflict between this definition
and the definition in any such agreement, the more permissive “Change in Control” language shall prevail.

 

Amendment, Modification and Termination of Plan. The Board may,
at any time and from time to time, modify, amend, suspend or terminate the 2012 Plan in any respect. Amendments to the 2012 Plan shall
be subject to approval to the extent required to comply with any exemption to the short swing-profit provisions of Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, with the exclusion for performance-based compensation under Code
Section 162(m), or with the rules and regulations of any Exchange. The Board may also modify or amend the terms and conditions of any
outstanding Option, subject to the consent of the holder and consistent with the provisions of the 2012 Plan.

 

The Board may, without shareholder approval:

 

(i)       amend
the 2012 Plan to correct typographical, grammatical or clerical errors;

 

(ii)       change
the vesting provisions of an Option granted under the 2012 Plan;

 

		(iii)	change the termination provision of an Option granted under the 2012 Plan if it does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry
date of such Option;

 

		(iv)	make such amendments to the 2012 Plan as are necessary or desirable to reflect changes to securities laws applicable to the Company;

    	10 

    	 

    

 

		(v)	make such amendments as may otherwise be permitted by the Exchange, if applicable; and

 

(vi)       amend
the Plan to reduce the benefits that may be granted to Participants.

 

Interpretation. Unless otherwise
expressly stated in the relevant Agreement, any grant of Options is intended to be performance-based compensation and therefore not subject
to the deduction limitation set forth in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.

Date of Grant. The date of grant
of an Award shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Committee makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later
date as is determined by the Committee; provided, however, the date of grant of an Option shall be the date when the Option is granted
and its exercise price is set, consistent with applicable law and applicable financial accounting rules. Notice of the determination shall
be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

SECTION 13. TAX WITHHOLDING

Tax Withholding. At such times as
a Participant recognizes taxable income in connection with the receipt of shares, securities, cash or property hereunder (a “Taxable
Event”), the Participant shall pay to the Company or, if instructed by the Committee or its delegate, the Subsidiary that employs
the Participant an amount equal to the applicable taxes and other amounts as may be required by law to be withheld by the Company or,
if instructed by the Committee or its delegate, the Subsidiary that employs the Participant in connection with the Taxable Event. This
provision is not intended to (a) supersede the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange, (b) result in an alteration of the exercise price
of an Option or (c) result in the cashless exercise of an Option.

SECTION 14. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

Requirements of Law. The granting of
Options, and the issuance of shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations,
and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or Exchanges as may be required.

Governing Law. The 2012 Plan, and all
agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario without giving effect
to the choice of law principles thereof.

Listing, etc. Each Option is subject
to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of
Stock issuable pursuant to the 2012 Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval
of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Option or the
issuance of Stock, no Options shall be granted or payment made or shares of Stock issued, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions which are unacceptable to the Committee or the
Board, acting in good faith.

Code Sections 409A and 457A. The 2012
Plan and the Awards granted hereunder are intended to qualify for an exemption from Code Section 409A and from Code Section 457A, provided,
however, that if any Award granted under the 2012 Plan is not so exempt, such Award is intended to comply with Code Sections 409A and
457A to the extent applicable thereto. Notwithstanding any provision of the 2012 Plan to the contrary, the 2012 Plan shall be interpreted
and construed consistent with this intent. Notwithstanding the expressed intent to qualify for exemption from Code Section 409A and from
Code Section 457A or otherwise to comply with Code Sections 409A and 457A, the Company shall not be required to assume any increased economic
burden in connection therewith. Although the Company and the Committee intend to administer

    	11 

    	 

    

the 2012 Plan so that the 2012 Plan and the
Awards granted hereunder qualify for an exemption from Code Section 409A and from Code Section 457A, if the 2012 Plan and any Award granted
under the 2012 Plan are not so exempt, neither the Company nor the Committee represents or warrants that the 2012 Plan or such Award granted
hereunder will comply with Code Sections 409A and 457A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. Neither
the Company, its subsidiaries, nor its respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to any Participant (or any
other individual claiming a benefit through the Participant) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Participant may owe as a result of
participation in the 2012 Plan, and the Company and its subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect any Participant
from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Sections 409A or 457A.

Restriction on Transfer. Notwithstanding
anything contained in the 2012 Plan or any Agreement to the contrary, if the disposition of Stock acquired pursuant to the 2012 Plan is
not covered by a then current registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is not otherwise exempt from
such registration, such Stock shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by said Act, and Rule 144 or other regulations
thereunder. The Committee may require anyone receiving Stock pursuant to an Option granted under the 2012 Plan, as a condition precedent
to receiving such Stock, to represent and warrant to the Company in writing that such Stock is being acquired without a view to any distribution
thereof and will not be sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration thereof under said Act or pursuant to an
exemption applicable under said Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The certificates evidencing any shares of such
Stock shall have the appropriate legend to reflect their status as restricted securities.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the 2012 Plan or any agreement to
the contrary, Stock issued pursuant to the 2012 Plan in reliance on an exemption from the prospectus requirements of the securities legislation
of a province of Canada may be subject to restrictions on transfer.
