and other contractual warranty claims which relate solely to periods following the Closing; 
 (b) Liabilities Not Assumed.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except for the Assumed Liabilities, Tandy shall not assume or in any manner become liable or responsible for any liability, obligation, commitment or expense of any kind, known or
unknown, now existing or hereafter arising, of or related to Chambers, or the Acquired Assets and 

  

 -7- 

 
Chambers shall retain responsibility for all of its liabilities, payments or obligations other than the Assumed Liabilities (the “Retained
Liabilities”). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither Tandy nor any of its Affiliates shall assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any known or unknown debt, claim, obligation or other liability of Chambers
or any of its Affiliates whatsoever (other than the Assumed Liabilities), including, but not limited to (i) any environmental costs or liabilities for any act, omission, condition, event or circumstance, including the handling, storage,
transportation or disposal of hazardous materials or contaminants, (ii) any liabilities in respect of taxes of any nature whatsoever, (iii) any brokers’ or finders’ fees arising by reason of this Agreement, (iv) any

obligations related to the Retained Assets, or (vii) warranties, rebates, allowances, deductions and/or price discrepancies relating in any manner to products or services sold by Chambers prior to or after the Closing Date. 
 ARTICLE III 
 PURCHASE PRICE AND
CLOSING 
 Section 3.1 Purchase Price. 
 (a) Purchase Price. In consideration of the sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of all the Acquired Assets, on the Closing Date, Tandy
shall assume the Assumed Liabilities and as the purchase price pay to Wells Fargo for the benefit of Chambers so long as any monies are owed under the Credit and Security Agreement dated June 16, 2008 and thereafter to Chambers, the sum of the
following (the “Purchase Price”) (i) $500,000, plus (ii) the Acquired Inventory Price plus (iii) the Earn-Out Amount (as defined herein at Section 3.1(d)(i)), including the Earn-Out Minimum Amount. Wells Fargo
shall deliver written notice to Tandy in the event payments are no longer required to be remitted to Wells Fargo. Tandy will have fulfilled its obligation with respect to the payment of any portion of the Purchase Price to the extent such payment is
made to Wells Fargo until such written notice is delivered to Tandy. 
 (b) Payment of Purchase Price. At Closing, as payment
against the Purchase Price due Chambers, Tandy shall deliver to Chambers by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the following (A) $500,000, (B) $430,000 (the “Earn-Out Initial
Payment”), and (C) the Acquired Inventory Price. Following the Closing, Tandy shall pay the Earn-Out Monthly Payments which are due as provided in Section 3.1(d) below by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Except for
the circumstances specifically provided for in Sections 9.7(a)(i) and (ii) below, the Earn-Out Monthly Payments shall not be subject to any right of offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. 
 (c) Determination of Accepted Inventory Styles and Acquired Inventory Price. 
 (i) On or before June 1, 2009, Tandy, upon reasonable advance notice, may (but shall not be required to) inspect at Chamber’s facilities all of
Chambers’ on-hand inventory. On or before June 1, 2009, Tandy shall deliver to Chambers a written notice (the “Rejected Inventory Styles Notice”) specifically identifying the product style numbers included in
Chambers’ inventory which it irrevocably elects not to purchase (which may only be on the basis that they are slow moving or are part of a discontinued customer 

  

 -8- 

 
program). All product styles included in Chambers’ inventory not identified in the Rejected Inventory Styles Notice (the “Accepted Inventory
Styles”) will be included in the Acquired Inventory. If the Rejected Inventory Styles Notice is not timely delivered to Chambers, then Tandy shall be deemed to have accepted all product styles included in Chambers’ inventory and all
such product styles shall be included in the Accepted Inventory Styles. After the execution and delivery hereof, Chambers shall not order from vendors or manufacturers/factories any Accepted Inventory Styles unless it is to fill a specific order
received from a customer or it is otherwise approved in writing by Tandy. 
 (ii) At least 30 days prior to Closing, Tandy shall be entitled
to receive Chambers’ perpetual inventory records and Inventory Cost for the Accepted Inventory Styles. In addition, after delivery of the Rejected Inventory Styles Notice, Tandy shall be entitled to conduct reviews and verification of the
Acquired Inventory quantities and landed cost of such perpetual inventory records. After delivery of the Rejected Inventory Styles Notice, Tandy will be entitled to receive weekly sales and quantities reports prior to the Closing Date for
inventories of each Accepted Inventory Style, as well as copies of receipts for such inventories with quantities and the Inventory Cost from the date of the perpetual inventory report through the Closing Date. 
 (iii) Immediately prior to Closing, Tandy and Chambers shall jointly conduct a physical count and inspection of the Acquired Inventory held by Chambers
which shall be observed by representatives of mutually agreeable independent accountants of if the Parties can not agree, then representatives from their respective independent accounting firms (the “Accountants”). Upon completion
of the count, the Parties shall execute a certificate certifying the product styles and quantity thereof included in the Acquired Inventory (the “Inventory Count Certificate”). The Accountants shall determine any dispute between the
Parties concerning the physical count which shall be final and binding on the Parties. Chambers shall then determine the Acquired Inventory Price using the information set forth in the Inventory Count Certificate and the Inventory Cost as reflected
in its books and records and deliver to Tandy a certificate setting forth the amount of the Acquired Inventory Price and supporting calculations (the “Preliminary Inventory Certificate”). 
 (iv) At the Closing, Tandy shall pay to Chambers the sum due for the Acquired Inventory Price based on the Preliminary Inventory Certificate. During the
30 days following Closing, Tandy may review the Preliminary Inventory Certificate. If during such 30-day period Tandy notifies Chambers of any dispute (other than with respect to the information contained in the Inventory Count Certificate) with
respect to the calculations set forth in the Preliminary Inventory Certificate, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve their differences, any remaining disputes will be resolved in
accordance with Section 3.1(e) below and the determination of the Arbitrator pursuant thereto shall become the Final Inventory Certificate. If Tandy does not notify Chambers in writing of a dispute with the Preliminary Inventory Certificate
within such 30 day period, the Preliminary Inventory Certificate shall be deemed to be final and binding on the Parties for purposes of determining the Acquired Inventory Cost and thereby become the “Final Inventory Certificate.” In
the event the Final Inventory Certificate reflects an amount greater than or less than the amount reflected in the Preliminary Inventory Certificate, either Tandy or Chambers, as appropriate, shall, within five (5) days of the determination of
the Final Inventory Certificate, pay to the other such difference. 
  

 -9- 

 (d) Earn-Out Amount. 
 (i) As part of the Purchase Price due for the acquisition of the Acquired Assets, Tandy shall pay Chambers an amount (the “Earn-Out
Amount”) equal to (A) 21.5% of the Net Sales of all Chambers Products sold by Tandy and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates during the 12 months ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earn-Out Measurement
Period”), less $150,000; provided, however, that in no event shall such amount be less than the “Earn-Out Minimum Amount.” 
 (ii) Prior to the end of the Earn-Out Measurement Period, Tandy shall (A) not sell, transfer, assign, license or otherwise convey any of the Acquired Assets (or any rights with respect thereto) other than Acquired Inventory in the
Ordinary Course of Business, (B)exercise commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the Business in a manner consistent with prudent business practices that seek to maximize its sales of Chambers Products and (C) have no less than three
personnel dedicated on a full-time basis to the marketing, promotion and sale of Chambers Products to customers and who have a substantial portion of their personal compensation during the Earn-Out Measurement Period based upon sales of Chambers
Products during the Earn-Out Measurement Period. Upon request by Chambers (which shall not be more than four times during the Earn-Out Measurement Period), Tandy shall provide written information to Chambers which evidences its compliance with its
obligations under this Paragraph 3.1(d)(ii), and such information shall be provided within 20 days of the written request by Chambers. 
 (iii) The Earn-Out Amount shall be payable in arrears on the 15th day of the month (each such payment being an “Earn-Out Monthly Payment”) with the first eleven (11)) such Earn-Out Monthly Payments in
an amount (the “Earn-Out Monthly Amount”) equal to 21.5% of the Net Sales of the Chambers Products in the immediately preceding calendar month. Concurrently with each Earn-Out Monthly Payment, Tandy shall submit to Chambers a
certificate signed by Tandy’s Chief Financial Officer in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Earn-Out Monthly Certificate”). The Earn-Out Monthly Payments shall commence on August 15, 2009 and shall continue
on the 15th day of each of the next 10 calendar months thereafter. On July 15, 2010 a final Earn-Out Monthly Payment shall be payable in an
amount equal to the greater of (A) 21.5% of the cumulative Net Sales of Chambers Products for the Earn-Out Measurement Period, less $150,000 and less the sum of all Earn-Out Payments previously paid by Tandy to Chambers (or Wells Fargo for
Chambers’ benefit), or (B) the Earn-Out Minimum Amount less the sum of all Earn-Out Payments previously paid by Tandy to Chambers (or Wells Fargo for Chambers’ benefit). In the event the final Earn-Out Monthly Payment would be less
than zero dollars as a result of the credits described in subsection (A) of the immediately preceding sentence or otherwise, Chambers shall, by July 20, 2010, pay to Tandy by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to
the amount by which Tandy had overpaid the Earn-Out Payments. 
 (iv) Tandy shall at all times maintain complete, true and correct books of
account in accordance with GAAP for the sale of Chambers Products during the Earn-Out Measurement Period and the matters contemplated by Section 3.1(d)(ii), which books 

  

 -10- 

 
of account shall be in sufficient detail to enable the Earn-Out Amount and Earn-Out Monthly Payments to be readily computed and verified, including all
information pertaining to the Net Sales of Chambers Products. Tandy shall permit Chambers, its agents and/or independent public accountants, to inspect and audit Tandy’s books and records relating to Net Sales of Chambers Products during the
Earn-Out Measurement Period (including the right to make copies thereof) during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to Tandy. In no event may Chambers exercise such right more than once in any three month period during the Earn-Out
Measurement Period. In the event any such inspection and/or audit confirms that the Net Sales for Chambers Products during any portion of the Earn-Out Measurement Period have been understated, Tandy shall immediately pay the deficit amount shown to
be due as a result of any such inspection or audit unless Tandy disputes such deficient amount in good faith by written notice to Chambers within thirty (30) days after being given notice thereof by Chambers, together with a statement setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for its dispute. Tandy’s determination of Net Sales and the Earn-Out Amount and the Earn-Out Monthly Payments, if any, for any Earn-Out Measurement Period shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties
hereto unless, within 60 days following the delivery of the final Earn-Out Monthly Payment and Earn-Out Monthly Certificate, Chambers notifies Tandy in writing that it disagrees with Tandy’s calculation of Net Sales of the Chambers Products and
the Earn-Out Amount. Such notice shall include Chambers’ statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for its dispute. If, in the 15 days following delivery of Chambers’ notice of dispute, Tandy and Chambers cannot reach an
agreement on the Earn-Out Amount, all such disagreements shall be resolved in accordance with Section 3.1(e). 
 (v) If any Earn-Out
Monthly Payments (which are not the subject of a bona fide dispute which is the subject of proceeding under Section 3.1(e)) are not paid when due or Tandy breaches its obligations under this Section 3.1(d) (each an “Earn-Out
Default”), then upon written notice by Chambers to Tandy thereof and a failure by Tandy to cure the same within thirty (30) days after such notice, an amount equal to the Earn-Out Minimum Amount less the Earn-Out Payments theretofore
paid to Chambers (or Wells Fargo for Chambers’ benefit) shall become immediately due and payable by Tandy to Chambers in immediately available funds and until paid shall accrue interest thereon at the Default Rate. The payment of such amount
shall not in any way relieve Tandy of its obligation to pay Chambers the Earn-Out Amount, except that the payment made pursuant to this Section 3.1(d)(v) (other than Default Interest) shall be credited thereto. Further, the acceleration of the
Earn-Out Minimum Amount shall not be Chambers’ sole and exclusive remedy and Chambers shall not be limited in pursuing any legal or equitable right or claim against Tandy for damages arising out of or related to an Earn-Out Default. In the
event that Chambers commences legal action to collect such payments, Tandy shall be responsible for and pay all of the attorneys’ fees incurred by Chambers in connection therewith. 
 (e) Disputes. Disputes regarding the Preliminary Inventory Certificate and the Acquired Inventory Price as well as the Earn-Out Monthly
Payments or the Earn-Out Amount which are in accordance with the terms hereof shall be resolved as follows: (i) the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible; (ii) in the event that the
Parties are unable to resolve any such dispute within 15 days (or such longer period as they may agree upon in writing) of notice of such dispute, such dispute and the appropriate books and records related thereto shall be submitted to, and all
issues having a bearing on such dispute shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm approved by both Parties in writing or failing such approval, within five 

  

 -11- 

 
(5) days of being requested by any Party, then by an independent accounting firm (which shall have no past or present relationship with either Party and
shall certify thereto to each Party in writing) selected by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules to be conducted in Wilmington, Delaware or such other location as the Parties agreed upon in writing
(such identified accounting firm selected, the “Arbitrator”). Such resolution shall be final and binding on the Parties for purposes of determining the Final Inventory Certificate and Acquired Inventory Price, the Earn-Out Monthly
Payments and/or the Earn-Out Amount, as appropriate. The Parties shall direct the Arbitrator to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete its work within 30 days following its engagement. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be
paid one-half by Tandy and one-half by Chambers. 
 (f) Default Rate. To the extent any amount is not paid by Tandy to Chambers
when due hereunder, including any amount which Tandy agrees upon with Chambers was previously due or which is determined to have been due pursuant to Section 3.1(e), in addition to such amount and any and all other rights of Chambers, Tandy
shall pay Chambers interest on such delinquent amount at the Default Rate from the date on which such payment was due until it is paid in full.

Tandy in accordance with Section 9.1 or (ii) covenants contained herein, (b) any Assumed Liabilities and (c) any and all demands, claims, actions, suits or proceedings or assessments claimed or brought by any third party to the
extent based on any fact, event or circumstance which would result in a valid claim under Section 9.3(a), together with any judgments and reasonable costs and legal and other expenses associated therewith. 
 Section 9.4 Procedures. 
 (a) If any Chambers Indemnitee or Tandy Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnified Party”) believes that it has suffered or incurred or will suffer or incur any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Article
IX, such Indemnified Party shall so notify the Party or Parties from whom indemnification is being claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable 

  

 -24- 

 
promptness and reasonable particularity in light of the circumstances then existing. If any action at law or suit in equity is instituted by or against a
third party with respect to which any Indemnified Party intends to claim any Losses, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such action or suit. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give any notice required by this
Section shall not affect any of such Party’s rights under this Article IX or otherwise except and to the extent that such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights or obligations of the Indemnified Party. 
 (b) Upon being given notice of any third party claim against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right upon written notice to the
Indemnified Party to assume the defense and conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, of such third party claim, action or suit contemplated by Section 9.2(b) or 9.3(b), as applicable. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all
reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of the third party claim and any appeal arising therefrom. Upon assuming the defense of a third party claim, the Indemnified Party may
compromise or settle the same, provided either that (i) the settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a complete release from liability with respect to such action or suit to the Indemnified Party or (ii) the
Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party advance notice of any proposed compromise or settlement and the Indemnified Party shall have consented in advance in writing to the proposed compromise or settlement (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of any such action or suit through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
borne by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to conduct and control the conduct and settlement of such action or suit, the Indemnifying Party shall not thereby permit to exist any Encumbrance upon any asset of the Indemnified
Party as a result of the claim being indemnified. The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in any settlement negotiations through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party (at its own cost and expense). 
 If an Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of a third party claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the notice of the
third party claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party against which such third party claim has been asserted will upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party have the right to undertake, at the Indemnified Party’s cost,
risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that such third party claim shall not be compromised or settled without the
written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the third party claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the
progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance herewith. 
 Section 9.5
Limitations on Indemnification Rights. 
 (a) Threshold Amount. An Indemnifying Party under this
Article IX shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for Losses associated with misrepresentations or breaches of warranties which do not result in Losses that do not exceed $50,000 in the aggregate; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this limitation shall
not apply with respect to the indemnification otherwise due for any claims brought by a third party. 
  

 -25- 

 (b) Maximum Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein, the maximum liability of Chambers
under this Article IX based on or relating to any breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price, excluding, however the Earn-Out Amount. 
 (c) Time Period. The indemnification provisions under this Article IX (other than those based solely on a breach of a covenant) shall
continue for one year from the Closing Date and shall terminate upon expiration of such period. Any claim or demand made under Section 9.2 against Chambers or Section 9.3 against Tandy of which notice has been given in good faith pursuant
to Section 9.4 at or prior to the expiration of the one year period shall continue to be subject to indemnification hereunder notwithstanding the expiration of such period. 
 Section 9.6 Exclusivity. 
 (a) The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that as of and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than those based on a breach of a covenant) shall be pursuant to the indemnification
provisions set forth in this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties hereby waive (other than with respect to a breach of a covenant), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of
action it may have against the other arising under or based upon any federal, state or local statute, law ordinance, rule or regulation (including any such rights, claims or causes of action arising under or based upon common law or otherwise) with
respect to all such claims. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Article IX, neither party shall be entitled to indirect or consequential damages hereunder. 
 (b) For avoidance of doubt, Tandy acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing exclusivity provisions and limitations shall not apply in any respect to its covenants and undertakings in Section 3.1. 
 Section 9.7 Limited Right of Set-Off. 
 (a) The Parties agree and acknowledge that Tandy shall have the right in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.7 to set-off any Losses claimed by a Chambers Indemnitee pursuant to this Article IX or any
damages or payment obligations based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement against all or any portion of the Earn-Out Monthly Payments or the Earn-Out Amount which may be payable pursuant to this Agreement if and only if, and to the
extent that (in terms of dollars) (i) Chambers and Tandy have entered into a binding written agreement setting forth an agreed upon amount to be paid by Chambers to Tandy pursuant to Article IX or (ii) a final, non-appealable judgment is
entered against Chambers based on an order of a Court which has jurisdiction with respect to such matter pursuant to Section 11.8 which requires payment from Chambers to Tandy pursuant to a claim under Article IX. 
  

 -26- 

 (b) Tandy expressly agrees and acknowledges that it shall not be entitled to withhold from any Earn Out
Payment any amount alleged to be due and owing based thereon, whether set forth in an indemnification notice or otherwise, other than with respect to Losses described in Section 9.7(a)(i) or (ii). If any portion of an Earn-Out Payment is
withheld on the basis of an unresolved claim under Article IX or any other provision of this Agreement or any other instrument, agreement or document executed and delivered in connection herewith or based on a claim at common law, such withholding
shall constitute an Earn-Out Default. 
 ARTICLE X 
 TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT 
 Section 10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be
terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date as follows: 
 (a) by mutual written consent of Tandy and Chambers; 
 (b) by either Party if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before July 1, 2009 (unless the failure to so consummate the Closing by such date
shall be due to the action or failure to act of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement, which action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement); 
 (c) by Tandy if (i) there has been a material breach on the part of Chambers in the representations, warranties or covenants of Chambers set forth herein, or (ii) any failure on the part of Chambers to
comply with its obligations hereunder, such that, in any such case, any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 7.1 hereof could not be satisfied on or prior to July 1, 2009, provided Tandy first gives Chambers written notice
thereof and such material breach or failure of performance is not cured within 10 days thereafter; or 
 (d) by Chambers if (i) there
has been a material breach on the part of Tandy in the representations, warranties or covenants of Tandy set forth herein, or (ii) any failure on the part of Tandy to comply with its obligations hereunder, such that, in any such case, any of
the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 7.2 hereof could not be satisfied on or prior to July 1, 2009, provided Chambers first gives Tandy written notice thereof and such material breach or failure of performance is not cured
within 10 days thereafter. 
 Section 10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of a termination of this Agreement
as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Tandy, Chambers or their affiliates or respective officers or directors; provided, however, that any such
termination shall not relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement existing as of the date of termination.

 Section 11.4 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this
Agreement to Sections, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this

Agreement,” “the date hereof” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date first set forth in the beginning of this Agreement. The Parties have been represented by counsel
who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the Parties do not intend that the presumptions of any laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied to
this Agreement and therefore waive their effects. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intent of the Parties. 
 Section 11.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the

arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be
required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on any other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in
Section 11.3 above. Nothing in this Section, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or at equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought
shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or at equity. All proceedings under this Section 11.8, and all evidence given or discovered pursuant hereto, shall be maintained in

shall expire or terminate for any reason in accordance with the terms of the
Plan without being exercised, the unpurchased Shares subject thereto shall again
be available for grant pursuant to the Plan. 

ARTICLE 5 - ELIGIBILITY
GRANT AND TERMS OF OPTIONS 

5.1 

Options may be granted to any
Eligible Person in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof. 

5.2 

Options may be granted by the
Board it its sole and absolute discretion, with or without the recommendation of

which each Option is exercisable from time to time during the term of the Option
and other terms and conditions relating to each such Option shall be determined
by the Board. 

5.4 

In the event
that no specific determination is made by the Board with respect to any of the
following matters, each Option shall, subject to any other specific provisions
of the Plan, contain the following terms and conditions: 

(a) 

the term during which an
Option shall be exercisable shall be 10 years from the date the Option is
granted to the Optionee; and 

(b)

the Optionee

of the grant of the Option; provided, however, that if the number of Shares
purchased pursuant to exercises of the Option during any such 12 month period is
less than 20% of the Shares covered by the Option, the Optionee shall have the

Option, to purchase such number of Shares subject to the Option which were

of which the grant of the Option is approved by the Board. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Shares are not listed on any stock exchange on
the date on which the grant of an Option is approved by the Board, the Option
Price for such Option shall be determined by the Board. If, as and when any
Shares have been duly purchased and paid for under the terms of an Option, such
Shares shall be conclusively deemed allotted and issued as fully paid
non-assessable Shares at the price paid therefor. 

5.6 

No Options
shall be granted to any Optionee if the total number of Shares issuable to such
Optionee under the Plan, together with any Shares reserved for issuance to such
Optionee under options for services or any other share compensation arrangement,
would exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the date of grant. 

5.7 

An Option is
personal to the Optionee and non-assignable (whether by operation of law or
otherwise), except as provided for herein. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of an Option contrary to the provisions
of the Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon an
Option, the Option shall, at the election of the Corporation, cease and
terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever. 

5.8 

No Options shall be granted to
an Optionee if such grant could result, at any time, in:

Insiders exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares; 

(b)

For the purposes of this Section 5.8, the phrase "issued and outstanding
Shares" excludes any Shares issued pursuant to the Plan or other stock options,
stock option plans, employee stock purchase plans or other compensation or
incentive mechanisms, over a preceding one-year period and "associate" means any
person associated with such Insider.

ARTICLE 6 
- TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND DEATH

6.1 

Subject to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof and
to any express resolution passed by the Board with respect to an Option,
including a resolution that an Option remain outstanding despite the Optionee
ceasing to be an Eligible Person, an Option and all rights to purchase Shares
pursuant thereto shall expire and terminate immediately upon the Optionee who
holds such Option ceasing to be an Eligible Person. 

6.2 

If, before the expiry of an Option in
accordance with the terms thereof, an Optionee shall cease to be an Eligible
Person (an "Event of Termination") for any reason other than his or her
resignation or the termination for "cause" of his or her employment with the
Corporation or any Related Entity, or his or her resignation or failure to be
re-elected as a director of the Corporation or any Related Entity, then the
Optionee may: 

(a)

exercise the Option to the extent that he
or she was entitled to do so at the time of such Event of Termination, at any
time up to and including, but not after, a date that is three (3) months (or
such other longer period as may be determined by the Board in its sole
discretion) following the date of such Event of Termination, or prior to the
close of business on the expiration date of the Option, whichever is earlier;
and 

(b)

with the prior written consent of the
Board, which consent may be withheld in the Board’s sole discretion, exercise a
further Option at any time up to and including, but not after, a date that is
three (3) months (or such other longer period as may be determined by the Board
in its sole discretion) following the date of such Event of Termination, or
prior to the close of business on the expiration date of the Option, whichever
is earlier, to purchase all or any of the Shares as the Board may designate but
not exceeding the number of Shares the Optionee would have otherwise been
entitled to purchase pursuant to the Option had the Optionee’s status as an
Eligible Person been maintained for the term of the Option. 

- 5 - 

6.3 

Subject to Section 6.2, if an Optionee
dies before the expiry of an Option in accordance with the terms thereof, the
Optionee’s legal representative(s) may, subject to the terms of the Option and
the Plan: 

(a)

exercise the Option to the extent that the
Optionee was entitled to do so at the date of his or her death at any time up to
and including, but not after, a date one year following the date of death of the
Optionee, or prior to the close of business on the expiration date of the
Option, whichever is earlier; and 

(b)

with the prior written consent of the
Board, which consent may be withheld in the Board’s sole discretion, exercise a
further Option at any time up to and including, but not after, a date one year
following the date of death of the Optionee, or prior to the close of business
on the expiration date of the Option, whichever is earlier, to purchase all or
any of the Shares as the Board may designate but not exceeding the number of
Shares the Optionee would have otherwise been entitled to purchase had the
Optionee survived. 

6.4 

For greater certainty, Options shall not
be affected by any change of employment of the Optionee or by the Optionee
ceasing to be a director of the Corporation provided that the Optionee continues
to be an Eligible Person. 

6.5 

For the purposes of this ARTICLE 6, a
determination by the Corporation that an Optionee was discharged for "cause"
shall be binding on the Optionee; provided, however, that such determination
shall not be conclusive of the Optionee’s potential entitlement to damages for
the loss of the right to exercise an Option in the event that a court of
competent jurisdiction ultimately determines that the discharge was without
"cause". 

6.6 

For the purposes of this ARTICLE 6, the
date of Event of Termination in the case of termination of employment with the
Corporation or any Related Entity shall be the last day upon which the employee
provide services to the Corporation or Related Entity, as the case may be, at
its premises and not the last day upon which the Corporation or Related Entity
pays wages or salaries in lieu of notice of termination, statutory, contractual
or otherwise. 

6.7

If the Optionee is a Permitted Assign, the
references to the Optionee in this ARTICLE 6 shall be deemed to refer to the
Eligible Individual associated with the Permitted Assign. 

ARTICLE 7- EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 

7.1 

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, an
Option may be exercised from time to time by delivery to the Corporation at its
registered office of a written notice of exercise addressed to the Secretary of
the Corporation specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Option
is being exercised and, subject to Section 7.4 hereof, accompanied by payment in
full, by cash or cheque, of the aggregate Option Price of the Shares then being
purchased. Certificates for such Shares shall be issued and delivered to the
Optionee within a reasonable time following the receipt of such notice and
payment. 

7.2 

Notwithstanding any of the provisions
contained in the Plan or in any Option, the Corporation’s obligation to issue
Shares to an Optionee pursuant to the exercise of any Option shall be subject
to: 

(a)

completion of such registration or other
qualification of such Shares or obtaining approval of such governmental or
regulatory authority as the Corporation shall determine to be necessary or
advisable in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale thereof; 

(b) 

the administration of such Shares to
listing on any stock exchange on which the Shares may then be listed; 

- 6 - 

(c)

the receipt from the Optionee of such
representations, warranties, agreements and undertakings as the Corporation
determines to be necessary or advisable in order to safeguard against the
violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction; and 

(d) 

the satisfaction of any conditions on
exercise prescribed pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof. 

The Corporation shall, to the extent necessary, take all
commercially reasonable steps to obtain such approvals, registrations, and
qualifications as may be necessary for the issuance of such Shares in compliance
with applicable securities laws and for the listing of such Shares on any stock
exchange on which the Shares are then listed. 

7.3 

Options shall be evidenced by a share
option agreement, instrument or certificate in such form not inconsistent with
the Plan as the Board may from time to time determine as provided for under
Subsection 3.2(g), provided that the substance of ARTICLE 5 be included therein.

7.4 

Any Optionee may elect to effect a
cashless exercise of any or all of such Optionee’s right under an Option. In
connection with any such cashless exercise, the Optionee shall be entitled to
receive, without any cash payment (other than the taxes required to be paid in
connection with the exercise which must be paid by the Optionee to the
Corporation in cash at the time of exercise), such number of whole Shares
(rounded down to the nearest whole number) obtained pursuant to the following
formula: 

7.5 

x = [a (b – c)] b 

where 

x = the number of whole Shares to be issued 

a = the number of Shares under Option 

b = the market price of the Shares as at the last
trading immediately prior to the cashless exercise 

c = the Option Price of the Option 

In connection with any such cashless exercise, the full
number of Shares issuable (item (a) in the formula) shall be considered to have
been issued for the purposes of the reduction in the number of Shares which may
be issued under the Plan. 

7.6 

In the event that the expiry of an Option
occurs during a blackout period imposed by management or the Board in accordance
with the Corporation’s insider trading policy, the expiry date of such Option
shall be deemed to be amended to that date which is ten business days following
the end of such blackout period. 

ARTICLE 8 - CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS 

8.1 

In the event
of any subdivision or redivision of the Shares into a greater number of Shares
at any time after the grant of an Option to any Optionee and prior to the
expiration of the term of such Option, the Corporation shall deliver to such
Optionee at the time of any subsequent exercise of his or her Option in
accordance with the terms hereof, in lieu of the number of Shares to which he or
she was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, but for the same aggregate
consideration payable therefor, such number of Shares as such Optionee would
have held as a result of such subdivision or redivision if, on the record date
thereof, the Optionee had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to
which he or she was theretofore entitled upon such exercise. 

8.2 

In the event of any consolidation of the
Shares into a lesser number of Shares at any time after the grant of an Option
to any Optionee and prior to the expiration of the term of such Option, the
Corporation shall deliver to such Optionee at the time of any subsequent
exercise of his or her Option in accordance with the terms hereof, in lieu of
the number of Shares to which he or she was theretofore entitled upon such
exercise, but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, such number
of Shares as such Optionee would have held as a result of such consolidation if,
on the record date thereof, the Optionee had been the registered holder of the
number of Shares to which he or she was theretofore entitled upon such exercise.

- 7 - 

8.3 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4
and ARTICLE 9, if at any time after the grant of any Option to an Optionee and
prior to the expiration of the term of such Option, (i) the Shares shall be
reclassified, reorganized or otherwise changed, otherwise than as specified in
Sections 8.1 and 8.2, (ii) the Corporation shall consolidate, merge or
amalgamate with or into another corporation (the corporation resulting or
continuing from such consolidation, merger or amalgamation being herein called
the "Successor Corporation") or (iii) the Corporation shall pay a stock dividend
(other than any dividends in the ordinary course), the Optionee shall be
entitled to receive upon the subsequent exercise of his or her Option in
accordance with the terms hereof and shall accept in lieu of the number of
Shares to which he or she was theretofore entitled upon such exercise but for
the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the aggregate number of
shares of the appropriate class and/or other securities of the Corporation or
the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) that the Optionee would have been
entitled to receive as a result of such reclassification, reorganization or
other change or as a result of such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or stock
dividend, if on the record date of such reclassification, reorganization, other
change, consolidation, merger, amalgamation or dividend payment, as the case may
be, he or she had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which he
or she was theretofore entitled upon such exercise. 

8.4 

Notwithstanding Section 8.3, in the event
the Corporation should declare and pay a special cash dividend or other
distribution out of the ordinary course, a special dividend in specie on the
Shares, or a stock dividend other than in the ordinary course, the Option Price
of all Options outstanding on the record date of such dividend or other
distribution shall be reduced by an amount equal to the cash payment or other
distribution or the fair market value of the dividend in specie or stock
dividend or other distribution, as determined by the Board in its sole
discretion. 

ARTICLE 9 - AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THE PLAN 

9.1 

Subject to
applicable regulatory requirements and except as provided herein, the Board may,
in its sole and absolute discretion and without shareholder approval, amend,
suspend, terminate or discontinue the Plan and may amend the terms and
conditions of Options granted pursuant to the Plan. Provided, however, that if
the Board wishes to increase the maximum percentage in Section 4.1 hereof or
extend the term of the Option or reduce the Option Price of Options granted to
Insiders of the Corporation pursuant to the Plan, shareholder approval will be
required. 

9.2 

Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Board may make the following amendments to the Plan, without
obtaining shareholder approval: 

(a)

amendments to the terms and conditions of
the Plan necessary to ensure that the Plan complies with the applicable
regulatory requirements, including the rules of the TSX, in place from time to
time; 

(b) 

amendments to the provisions of the Plan
respecting administration of the Plan and eligibility for participation under
the Plan; 

(c)

amendments to the provisions of the Plan
respecting the terms and conditions on which Options may be granted pursuant to
the Plan, including the provisions relating to the Option Price, the term of the
Option and the vesting schedule; and 

(d) 

amendments to the Plan that are of a
"housekeeping" nature. 

9.3 

Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Board may amend the Option Price, the term of the Option, the
vesting schedule and the termination provisions of Options granted pursuant to
the Plan, without shareholder approval. However, if the Board proposes to reduce
the Option Price or extend the term of the Option granted to Insiders of the
Corporation pursuant to the Plan, such amendments will require shareholder
approval (excluding the votes of securities held directly or indirectly by
Insiders benefiting from such amendment). 

ARTICLE 10 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

10.1 

An Optionee shall not have any
rights as a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to any of the Shares
covered by such Option until the date of issuance of a certificate for Shares
upon the exercise of such Option, in full or in part, and then only with respect
to the Shares represented by such certificate or certificates. Without in any
way limiting the generality of the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made for
dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the
Options are exercised. 

- 8 - 

10.2 

Nothing in the Plan or any Option shall
confer upon an Optionee any right to continue or be re-elected as a director of
the Corporation or any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or any
Related Entity, or affect in any way the right of the Corporation or any Related
Entity to terminate his or her employment at any time; nor shall anything in the
Plan or any Option be deemed or construed to constitute an agreement, or an
expression of intent, on the part of the Corporation or any Related Entity to
extend the employment of any Optionee beyond the time which he or she would be
normally be retired pursuant to the provisions of any present or future
retirement plan of the Corporation or any Related Entity or any present or
future retirement policy of the Corporation or any Related Entity, or beyond the
time at which he or she would otherwise be retired pursuant to the provisions of
any contract of employment with the Corporation or any Related Entity. 

10.3 

Notwithstanding Section 5.8 hereof,
Options may be transferred or assigned between an Eligible Individual and the
related Permitted Assign provided the assignor delivers notice to the
Corporation prior to the assignment substantially in the form of Schedule B
attached hereto. 

10.4 

The Plan and all matters to which
reference is made herein shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

ARTICLE 11- SHAREHOLDER AND REGULATORY APPROVAL 

11.1 

If applicable,
the Plan shall be subject to ratification by the shareholders of the Corporation
to be effected by a resolution passed at a meeting of the shareholders of the
Corporation, and to acceptance by the TSX and any other relevant regulatory
authority. Any Options granted prior to such ratification and acceptance shall
be conditional upon such ratification and acceptance being given and no such
Options may be exercised unless and until such ratification and acceptance are
given.
