SAND TECHNOLOGY INC.

Share Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”)

     1.
Issuance. This Warrant is issued to [Subscriber’s Name]
(the “Holder”) on April __, 2008 (the “Original Issue Date”) by
Sand Technology Inc. (hereinafter with its successors called the
“Corporation”). This Warrant is being issued by the Corporation pursuant
to that certain Non-Brokered Private Placement Subscription Agreement for Units,
dated April __, 2008, between the Corporation and the Holder (the “Purchase
Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement contains additional terms and conditions
governing this Warrant, and is hereby incorporated by this reference.

     2. Purchase Price;
Number of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, the registered holder of this Warrant is entitled upon surrender of
this Warrant with the subscription form annexed hereto duly executed, at the
office of the Corporation, at [Corporation’s Address], or such other office as
the Corporation shall notify the Holder of in writing, to purchase from the
Corporation [____] number of Common Shares (the “Warrant Amount”). The
exercise price per share is $0.70 (the “Exercise Price”). The Warrant
Amount multiplied by the Exercise Price is herein referred to as the
“Purchase Price.” All terms used herein, but not defined herein, shall
have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. 

     3. Payment of
Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be paid (i) in cash or by
cheque, (ii) by the surrender by the Holder to the Corporation of any promissory
notes or other obligations issued by the Corporation, with all such notes and
obligations so surrendered being credited against the Purchase Price in an
amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date
of surrender, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing.

     4. Net Issue
Election. In lieu of exercise pursuant to Section 3, the Holder
may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional
consideration, shares equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof
by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Corporation, with the
net issue election notice annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the
Corporation. Thereupon, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder such number of
fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares as is computed using the following
formula: 

X = Y (A-B) 
A 

where 

X = the number of shares to be issued
to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.

Y = the number of shares covered by
this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this
Section 4.

A = the fair market value of one Common
Share, as determined below, at the time the net issue election is made pursuant
to this Section 4. 

B = the Exercise Price in effect under
this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section
4.

For the purposes of this Section 4, fair market value shall be
determined at the time of exercise and shall mean (i) the average (on that date)
of the high and low prices of the Common Share on the principal national
securities exchange on which the Common Share is traded, if the Common Share is
then traded on a national securities exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale
price (on that date) of the Common Share on the NASDAQ National Market, if the
Common Share is not then traded on a national securities exchange; or (iii) the
average of the closing bid and asked prices last quoted (on that date by an
established quotation service for over the counter securities), if the Common
Share is not reported on the NASDAQ National Market or (iv) if the Common Share
is not publicly traded, the fair value of the Common Share as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”). The Board
shall promptly respond in writing to an inquiry by the Holder as to the fair
market value of one Common Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Common Share
shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the foregoing
in the event that the fair market value of a share of Common Share is less than
the Exercise Price.

     5. Partial
Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part, and the Holder
shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated as of the date
of this Warrant, covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant
shall not have been exercised.

     6. Issuance
Date. The person or persons in whose name or names any
certificate representing the Common Share is issued hereunder shall be deemed to
have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby as at the
close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised with respect to such
shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed.
Upon exercise of this Warrant and delivery of either the proper Exercise Price
thereto or Net Issue Election Notice as applicable, the Corporation shall cause
to be executed and delivered to the Holder, not later than three trading days
thereafter, a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of
fully-paid and non-assessable Common Shares issuable upon such exercise. The
share certificates for Common Shares so issuable shall be in such denominations
as may be specified in the notice of exercise and shall be registered in the
name of the Holder or such other name or names as shall be designated in the
exercise notice. The Corporation shall pay all expenses payable in connection
with the preparation, issue and delivery of share certificates. The Holder shall
be entitled to the rights and remedies identified in Article 3.3(d) of the
Purchase Agreement for the Corporation’s failure to comply with this
Section.

     7. Expiration Date;
Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire on the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the close of business on the day which is the
third year anniversary of the date hereof, or (ii) the sixtieth
(60th) consecutive Trading Day in which the bid price of the Common
Share has been above US$1.50. 

2

     8. Reserved Shares;
Valid Issuance. The Corporation covenants that it will at all
times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number of
its authorized Common Shares, free from all preemptive or similar rights
therein, as will be sufficient to permit the exercise of this Warrant in full.
The Corporation further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to
the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens and charges with respect to
the issuance thereof.

     9. Share Dividends
and Share Splits. If after the Original Issue Date the
Corporation (a) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or
distributions payable in Common Shares or any Common Share Equivalents (which,
for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the
Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Debentures); (b)
subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares; or (c)
combines (including by way of a reverse share split outstanding Common Shares
into a smaller number of shares, then the number of shares issuable on the
exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the
case of a subdivision or share dividend, or proportionately decreased in the
case of a combination, and the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately
decreased in the case of a subdivision or share dividend, or proportionately
increased in the case of a combination.

     10. Mergers and
Reclassifications. If after the Original Issue Date there shall
be any reclassification, capital reorganization or change of Common Shares
(other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or share dividend provided
for in Section 9 hereof), or any consolidation of the Corporation with, or
merger of the Corporation into, another corporation or other business
organization (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is
the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of the outstanding Common Share), or any sale or conveyance to another
corporation or other business organization of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Corporation, then, as a condition of such reclassification,
reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, lawful
provisions shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from
the Corporation or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the
Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase, at a total price not to
exceed that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full, the kind and
amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such
reclassification, reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance by a holder of the number of Common Shares which might have been
purchased by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification,
reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and in any
such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and
interest of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including without
limitation, provisions for the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the Warrant
Amount) shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or
other securities and property thereafter deliverable upon exercise hereof.

     11. Subsequent
Equity Sales. If the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof, as
applicable, at any time after the Original Issue Date, sells or grants any
option to purchase or sells or grants any right to re-price its securities, or
otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to
purchase or other disposition) any Common Share Equivalents entitling any Person
to acquire Common Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the
then in effect Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Exercise Price” and
such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common
Share Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase
price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange
prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are
issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Common Shares at
an effective price per share that is lower than the Exercise Price, such
issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on
such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to
equal the Base Exercise Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
Common Share Equivalents are issued. The Corporation shall notify the Holder in
writing, no later than the second Business Day following the issuance of any
Common Share Equivalents subject to this Section 11, indicating therein the
applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion
price and other pricing terms.

     12. Pro Rata
Distributions. If the Corporation, at any time after the Original
Issue Date, distributes to all holders of Common Shares (and not to the Holders)
assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase any security (other than the Common Shares, which shall be
subject to Article 4.2 of the Purchase Agreement, then in each such case the
Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of shareholders
entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator
shall be the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) determined as of the record
date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such
record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion
of such assets so distributed applicable to one (1) outstanding Common Share as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in good faith. In either
case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holder
describing the portion of assets so distributed or such subscription rights
applicable to one (1) Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any
such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the
record date mentioned above.

     13. Certificate of
Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate of
a duly authorized officer of the Corporation setting forth the Exercise Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment.

     14. Notices of Record
Date, Etc. In the event of:

     (a) any taking by the Corporation
of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of
determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or
other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire
any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any
other right, 

     (b) any reclassification of the share
capital of the Corporation, capital reorganization of the Corporation,
consolidation or merger involving the Corporation, or sale or conveyance of all
or substantially all of its assets, or 

     (c) any voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation, 

     then and in each such event the
Corporation will promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice
specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of
such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date on which any such
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is
to be fixed, as of which the holders of record in respect of such event are to
be determined. 

     15.
Amendment. The terms of this Warrant may be amended,
modified or waived only with the written consent of the Corporation and the
Administrative Agent.

     16. Warrant Register;
Transfers, Etc.

     (a) The Corporation will maintain
a register containing the names and addresses of the registered holders of any
Warrants. The Holder may change its address as shown on the warrant register by
written notice to the Corporation requesting such change. Any notice or written
communication required or permitted to be given to the Holder may be given by
certified mail or delivered to the Holder at its address as shown on the warrant
register.

     (b) Subject to compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws, this Warrant may be transferred by
the Holder with respect to any or all of the shares purchasable hereunder;
provided, that, Corporation may request an opinion of counsel to the Holder,
which opinion is satisfactory to the Corporation and provides that this Warrant
may be offered, sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in the manner
contemplated without an effective registration statement under applicable
federal and state securities laws. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the
Corporation, together with the assignment hereof properly endorsed, for transfer
of this Warrant as an entirety by the Holder, the Corporation shall issue a new warrant of the same denomination to the assignee. Upon
surrender of this Warrant to the Corporation, together with the assignment
hereof properly endorsed, by the Holder for transfer with respect to a portion
of the shares of the share capital of the Corporation purchasable hereunder, the
Corporation shall issue a new warrant to the assignee, in such denomination as
shall be requested by the Holder hereof, and shall issue to such Holder a new
warrant covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not
have been transferred.

4

     (c) In case this Warrant shall be
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall issue a new warrant
of like tenor and denomination and deliver the same (i) in exchange and
substitution for and upon surrender and cancellation of any mutilated Warrant,
or (ii) in lieu of any Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft or
destruction of such Warrant (including a reasonably detailed affidavit with
respect to the circumstances of any loss, theft or destruction) and of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, provided, however, that so long as
any purchaser named Part I of the Schedule to the Purchase Agreement is the
registered holder of this Warrant, no indemnity shall be required other than its
written agreement to indemnify the Corporation against any loss arising from the
issuance of such new warrant.

     17. Investment

deemed to have made all of those representations and warranties and acknowledged
all of those risk factors contained in the Purchase Agreement as they relate to
this Warrant and the securities issuable upon exercise hereof.

Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Corporation. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
Holder hereof to purchase securities hereunder, and no enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of the Holder hereof shall give rise to any liability of
such Holder as a shareholder of the Corporation.

     19. Governing
Law. The provisions and terms of this Warrant shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the Province of
Quebec and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

     20. Successors and
Assigns. This Warrant shall be binding upon the Corporation’s
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder’s

      per Share.

	 	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Option Period. Each Option may be exercised during
      a period (the “Option Period”) determined by the Board on the
      recommendation of the Committee which shall not commence prior to the date

      termination date or is terminated by the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries

      contract in the case of a Consultant or as confirmed in any settlement
      agreement (which shall be subject to the Board’s approval on the
      recommendation of the Committee), and all of his/her rights under unvested
      Options outstanding on the date of termination, if any, shall
  lapse;

	 	 	 	 
	 		(ii) 	
      if an Optionee (other than a Director) resigns, the
      Optionee shall be entitled to exercise his/her vested Options then
      outstanding within 90 days of the date of his/her last working day, and
      all of his/her rights under unvested Options outstanding on the date of
      his/her last working day, if any, shall lapse;

	 	 	 	 
	 		(iii) 	
      if a Consultant terminates his/her consulting contract
      before its normal termination date, the Optionee shall be entitled to
      exercise his/her vested Options then outstanding within 90 days of the
      termination of the consulting contract, and all of his/her rights under

      extension for every three days of employment with the Issuer, for a
      minimum of 90 days and up to a maximum of three years of extension (for
      the purposes of this paragraph, the “Extension Period”) which shall
      accrue pro rata, day by day; Retirees shall be entitled to exercise
      the vested Options then outstanding, as the case may be within the later

- 6 -

	 	(d) 	
      Exercise of Option. A vested Option may be
      exercised in whole at any time or in part from time to time during the
      Option Period, by delivery of a written notice by the Optionee to the
      Corporate Secretary of the Issuer specifying the number of Shares with
      respect to which the Option is being exercised and indicating the address
      to which the certificate representing such Shares must be delivered. Such
      notice shall be accompanied by a certified cheque in the amount of the
      exercise price payable to the order of the Issuer. The Issuer shall cause
      a certificate for the number of Shares indicated in the Optionee’s notice
      to be issued in the name of the Optionee and delivered to the address
      indicated in the notice no later than 10 Business Days following receipt
      of the notice and full payment of the exercise price.

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      Option Unassignable. The Optionee may not assign,
      pledge or encumber any Option nor any interest therein other than by will
      or under the law of succession.

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      No Shareholder Rights; No Right to Options. An
      Optionee shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Issuer with
      respect to any of the Shares covered by his/her Option until the Optionee
      has become the registered holder of such Shares. No person shall have any
      claim or right to be granted an Option solely by virtue of this Plan. A
      person receiving an Option shall not have the right to receive another
      Option by virtue of such receipt.

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      Change in Control. In the event of any Change in
      Control, all Options outstanding shall become immediately exercisable for
      the full number of Shares subject to such Options regardless of any
      vesting or exercise schedule otherwise specified for such Options, and
      Optionees shall be entitled to at least 20-day prior written notice, and
      the opportunity to exercise such rights, before any transaction in
      connection with the Change in Control may defeat or nullify the economic
      benefit of such Options.

7.         
  Restricted Stock

The Board, from time to time, subject to the terms and
provisions of the Plan, may grant to any Eligible Individual an Award of
Restricted Stock, which shall be evidenced by an Agreement. Each Agreement shall
contain such restrictions, terms and conditions as the Board may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, determine and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, such Agreements may require that an appropriate legend be placed on
Share certificates. Awards of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following
terms and provisions: 

	 	(a) 	
      Rights of Grantee. Shares of Restricted Stock
      granted pursuant to an Award shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as
      soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted; provided that
      the Grantee has executed any and all documents which the Board may require
      as a condition to the issuance of such Shares, which may include an
      Agreement evidencing the Award, appropriate blank share transfer powers,
      and an escrow agreement. If a Grantee shall fail to execute any documents
      which the Board may require within the time period prescribed by the Board
      at the time the Award of Restricted Stock is granted, the Award shall be
      null and void. At the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, Shares
      issued in connection with an Award of Restricted Stock shall be
      deposited together with the share transfer powers with an escrow agent
      (which may be the Issuer) designated by the Board. Unless the Board
      determines otherwise as set forth in the Agreement, upon delivery of the
      Shares to the escrow agent, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a
      shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote the
      Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made
  with respect to the Shares.

- 7 -

	 	(b) 	
      Non-Transferability. Until all restrictions upon
      the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to a Grantee shall have lapsed in
      the manner set forth in Subsection 7(c), such Shares shall not be sold,
      transferred or otherwise disposed of and shall not be pledged or otherwise
      hypothecated.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      Lapse of Restrictions. Restrictions upon Shares of
      Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall lapse at such time or times and
      on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. The Agreement
      evidencing the Award shall set forth any such restrictions.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control, the
      restrictions upon Shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse.

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      Effect of Termination of Employment on Awards.
      Upon the termination of a Grantee’s employment with the Company and its
      Subsidiaries or the termination by a Consultant of his/her consulting
      contract before its normal termination date, in each case for any reason
      whatsoever, except as otherwise provided in an Agreement or, with the
      consent of such individual, as determined by the Board at any time prior
      to or after such termination, any Awards not then vested will
      terminate.

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      Treatment of Dividends. At the time an Award of
      Shares of Restricted Stock is granted, the Board may, in its sole and
      absolute discretion, determine that the payment to the Grantee of
      dividends, or a specified portion thereof, declared or paid on such Shares
      by the Issuer shall be (i) deferred until the lapsing of the restrictions
      on such Shares and (ii) held by the Issuer for the account of the Grantee
      until such time. In the event that dividends are to be deferred, the Board
      shall determine whether such dividends are to be reinvested in Shares
      (which shall be held as additional Shares of Restricted Stock) or held in
      cash. If deferred dividends are to be held in cash, there may be credited
      interest on the amount of the account at such times and at a rate per
      annum as the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine.
      Payment of deferred dividends in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock
      (whether held in cash or as additional Shares of Restricted Stock),
      together with interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be made upon the
      lapsing of the restrictions on the Shares in respect of which the deferred
      dividends were paid, and any dividends deferred (together with any
      interest accrued thereon) in respect of any Shares of Restricted Stock
      shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of such
Shares.

- 8 -

	 	(g) 	
      Delivery of Shares. Upon the lapse of the
      restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock, the Board shall cause a share
      certificate to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to such Shares of
      Restricted Stock, free of all restrictions
hereunder.

8.         
  Share Awards

The Board, from time to time, subject to the terms and
provisions of the Plan, may grant to any Eligible Individual [other than a
Consultant] a Share Award on such terms and conditions as the Board may
determine in its sole and absolute discretion, which terms and conditions may be
set forth in an Agreement in respect of such grant [Note: US counsel to
explain rationale behind restriction for Consultants]. Share Awards may be
made as additional compensation for services rendered by such Eligible
Individual or may be in lieu of cash or other compensation to which such
Eligible Individual is entitled to receive from the Issuer or any Subsidiary.

9.         
Effect of Change in Common Shares Subject to the Plan 

In the event of any Change in Capitalization, the Board shall
determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to (a) the maximum number of
Shares or other shares or securities with respect to Awards or Options may be
granted under the Plan, and (b) the number and class of Shares or other shares
or securities which are subject to outstanding Awards and Options granted under
the Plan and the exercise price therefor, if applicable. Any such adjustment in
the Shares or other shares or securities subject to outstanding Options shall be
made consistent with the requirements of United States Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A -1(b)(5)(v). If, by reason of a Change in Capitalization, a
Grantee of an Award shall be entitled to, or an Optionee shall be entitled to
exercise any Option with respect to, new, additional or different shares or
securities of the Issuer or any other corporation, such new, additional or
different shares or securities shall thereupon be subject to all of the
conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Shares subject to the
Award or Option, as the case may be, prior to such Change in Capitalization.

10.        Withholding
  Taxes

The Issuer or a Subsidiary shall require payment of or other
provision for, as determined by the Issuer, any amount equal to the federal,
provincial, state and local income taxes and other amounts required by law to be
withheld by the Issuer or such Subsidiary in connection with the grant, vesting,
exercise or settlement of an Award or Option or at such times as a Grantee or
Optionee recognizes taxable income in connection with the receipt of Shares or
cash in connection an Award or Option hereunder (for the purposes of this
Section 10, “Withholding Taxes”). In its sole and absolute discretion,
the Issuer or such Subsidiary may require or permit payment or provision for the
Withholding Taxes by one or more of the following methods, subject to the terms
of any Agreement: (a) in cash, bank draft, certified cheque, personal cheque or
other manner acceptable to the Board, (b) by withholding such amount from the
other amounts due to the Grantee or Optionee, (c) by withholding a portion of
the Shares then issuable or deliverable to the Grantee or Optionee having a fair
market value equal to the Withholding Taxes and, at the Issuer’s election,
either (i) cancelling the equivalent portion of the underlying Award or Option
or (ii) selling such Shares on the Optionee or Grantee’s behalf, or (d) by
withholding such amount from the cash then payable in connection with the Award.

11.        No
  Right to Continued Employment

Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be
construed as giving any person the right to continued employment or the right to
continued service as a member of the Board. 

12.        Effective
  Date and Term

The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board
and shall continue until such time as it may be terminated in accordance with
Section 13. 

13.        Amendment
  and Termination

The Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, may, at any
time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in
part, or waive or modify the terms, conditions, restrictions and forfeitures of
Awards or Options, in whole or in part, for such periods and for such Eligible
Individuals, and on such terms, consistent with the Plan, as it shall determine,
provided that no such action can be taken by the Board without obtaining (a) any
required approval under applicable securities legislation or applicable rules of
any stock exchange or automated quotation system where the Shares are listed or
quoted for trading, and (b) in the case of issued and outstanding Awards and
Options, the consent or deemed consent of the concerned Grantee or Optionee in
the event that such action materially prejudices his/her rights under the Plan.

14.       
Compliance with Securities Laws and Stock Exchange Rules 

Any issuance and delivery of Awards, Options or underlying
Shares under the Plan shall comply with all applicable securities legislation or
regulation and applicable rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation
system where the Shares are listed or quoted for trading (for the purposes of
this Section 14, the “Applicable Requirements”). The certificates
evidencing any Awards, Options or underlying Shares issued under the Plan, and
any certificates issued in exchange for or in substitution of such certificates,
will bear any legend and will be subject to any statutory hold period required
under Applicable Requirements. In addition, the issuance or delivery of any
Awards, Options or underlying Shares may be postponed for such period as may be
required to comply with any Applicable Requirements, and the Issuer shall not be
obligated to issue or deliver any Awards, Options or underlying Shares if such
issuance or delivery would constitute a violation of any Applicable
Requirements.

another exemption from the prospectus requirement under applicable Canadian

the consequences described in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, and to the maximum
