    (c) Term.  The term of an Option cannot be extended so that the effective term of the Option exceeds ten (10) years in total, or such other period as prescribed by the TSXV Policies.

    (b) Termination of Services Without Cause or Upon by Resignation.  If the engagement of the Optionee as a Director, Employee or Consultant of the Company is terminated for any reason other than cause (as determined by common law), disability or death, or if such Director, Employee, or Consultant resigns, as the case may be, the Optionee may exercise any Option granted hereunder to the extent that such Option was exercisable and had vested on the date of termination until the date that is the earlier of (i) the Expiry Date, and (ii) the date that is 90 days after the effective date of the Optionee ceasing to be a Director, Employee or Consultant for that other reason.

    

    
        - 11 -

    

    (c) Termination of Investor Relations Services.  If the engagement of the Optionee as a Consultant performing Investor Relations services is terminated for any reason other than cause (as determined by common law), disability or death, the Optionee may exercise any Option granted hereunder to the extent that such Option was exercisable and had vested on the date of termination until the date that is the earlier of (i) the Expiry Date, and (ii) the date that is 30 days after the effective date of the Optionee ceasing to be a Director, Employee or Consultant for that other reason.

    (d) Death.  If the Optionee dies, the Optionee's lawful personal representatives, heirs or executors may exercise any Option granted hereunder to the Optionee to the extent such Option was exercisable and had vested on the date of death until the earlier of (i) the Expiry Date, and (ii) one year after the date of death of such Optionee.

    (e) Disability.  If the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person, due to his Disability, or, in the case of an Optionee that is a company, the Disability of the person who provides management or consulting services to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Company, the Optionee may exercise any Option granted hereunder to the extent that such Option was exercisable and had vested on the Date of Disability until the earlier of (i) the Expiry Date, and (ii) the date that is one year after the Date of Disability.

    (f) Changes in Status of Eligible Person.  If the Optionee ceases to be one type of Eligible Person but concurrently is or becomes one or more other type of Eligible Person, the Option will not terminate but will continue in full force and effect and the Optionee may exercise the Option until the earlier of (i) the Expiry Date, and (ii) the applicable date set forth in Sections 4.8(a) to 4.8(e) above where the Optionee ceases to be any type of Eligible Person.  If the Optionee is an Employee, the Option will not be affected by any change of the Optionee's employment where the Optionee continues to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

    4.9 Adjustment of the Number of Optioned Shares.  The number of Common Shares subject to an Option will be subject to adjustment in the events and in the manner following:

    (a) Following the date an Option is granted, the exercise price for and the number of Optioned Shares which are subject to an Option will be adjusted, with respect to the then unexercised portion thereof, in the events and in accordance with the provisions and rules set out in this Section 4.9, with the intent that the rights of Optionees under their Options are, to the extent possible, preserved and maintained notwithstanding the occurrence of such events. Any dispute that arises at any time with respect to any adjustment pursuant to such provisions and rules will be conclusively determined by the Board, and any such determination will be binding on the Company, the Optionee and all other affected parties.

    

    
        - 12 -

    

    (b) If there is a change in the outstanding Common Shares by reason of any share consolidation or split, reclassification or other capital reorganization, or a stock dividend, arrangement, amalgamation, merger or combination, or any other change to, event affecting, exchange of or corporate change or transaction affecting the Common Shares, the Board shall make, as it shall deem advisable and subject to the requisite approval of the relevant regulatory authorities, appropriate substitution and/or adjustment in:

    (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities or property reserved or to be allotted for issuance pursuant to any outstanding unexercised Options, and in the exercise price for such shares or other securities or property; and

    (iii) the vesting of any Options, including the accelerated vesting thereof on conditions the Board deems advisable, and if the Company undertakes an arrangement or is amalgamated, merged or combined with another corporation, the Board shall make such provision for the protection of the rights of Optionees as it shall deem advisable.

    (c) If the outstanding Common Shares are changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or into or for other securities of the Company or securities of another Company or entity, in a manner other than as specified in Section 4.9(b), then the Board, in its sole discretion, may make such adjustment to the securities to be issued pursuant to any exercise of the Option and the exercise price to be paid for each such security following such event as the Board in its sole and absolute discretion determines to be equitable to give effect to the principle described in Section 4.9(a), and such adjustments shall be effective and binding upon the Company and the Optionee for all purposes.

    (d) No adjustment provided in this Section 4.9 shall require the Company to issue a fractional share and the total adjustment with respect to each Option shall be limited accordingly.

    (e) The grant or existence of an Option shall not in any way limit or restrict the right or power of the Company to effect adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, arrangements or changes of its capital or business structure, or to amalgamate, merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

    (a) a Notice of Exercise to the Company specifying the number of Optioned Shares being acquired pursuant to the Option; and

    (b) cash, a certified cheque or a bank draft payable to the Company for the aggregate Exercise Price for the Optioned Shares being acquired.

    5.3 Subsequent Exercises.  If an Optionee exercises only a portion of the total number of his Options, then the Optionee may, from time to time, subsequently exercise all or part of the remaining Options until the Expiry Date.

    5.4 Delivery of Certificate and Hold Periods.  As soon as practicable after receipt of the Notice of Exercise described in Section 5.2 and payment in full for the Optioned Shares being received by the Company, the Company will or will direct its transfer agent to issue a certificate to the Optionee for the appropriate number of Optioned Shares. Such certificate issued will bear a legend stipulating any resale restrictions required under applicable securities laws and TSXV Policies.

    5.5 Withholding.  The Company may withhold from any amount payable to an Optionee, either under this Plan or otherwise, such amount as it reasonably believes is necessary to enable the Company to comply with the applicable requirements of any federal, provincial, local or foreign law, or any administrative policy of any applicable tax authority, relating to the withholding of tax or any other required deductions with respect to options ("Withholding Obligations").  The Company may also satisfy any liability for any such Withholding Obligations, on such terms and conditions as the Company may determine in its discretion, by:

    (a) requiring an Optionee, as a condition to the exercise of any Options, to make such arrangements as the Company may require so that the Company can satisfy such Withholding Obligations including, without limitation, requiring the Optionee to remit to the Company in advance, or reimburse the Company for, any such Withholding Obligations; or

    (b) selling on the Optionee's behalf, or requiring the Optionee to sell, any Optioned Shares acquired by the Optionee under the Plan, or retaining any amount which would otherwise be payable to the Optionee in connection with any such sale.

    6. AMENDMENTS

    6.1 Amendment of the Plan.  The Board reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to at any time amend, modify or terminate the Plan with respect to all Common Shares in respect of Options which have not yet been granted hereunder. Any amendment to any provision of the Plan will be subject to shareholder approval, if applicable, and any necessary Regulatory Approvals.  If this Plan is suspended or terminated, the provisions of this Plan and any administrative guidelines, rules and regulations relating to this Plan shall continue in effect for the duration of such time as any Option remains outstanding.

    

    
        - 14 -

    

    6.2 Amendment of Outstanding Options.  The Board may amend any Option with the consent of the affected Optionee and the TSXV, if required, including any shareholder approval required by the TSXV. For greater certainty, Disinterested Shareholder Approval is required by the TSXV for any reduction in the exercise price of an Option if the Participant is an Insider at the time of the proposed amendment.

    6.3 Amendment Subject to Approval.  If the amendment of an Option requires shareholder or Regulatory Approval, such amendment may be made prior to such approvals being given, but no such amended Options may be exercised unless and until such approvals are given.

    7. GENERAL

    7.1 Exclusion from Severance Allowance. Retirement Allowance or Termination Settlement.  If the Optionee retires, resigns or is terminated from employment or engagement with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, the loss or limitation, if any, pursuant to the Option Agreement with respect to the right to purchase Optioned Shares, shall not give rise to any right to damages and shall not be included in the calculation of nor form any part of any severance allowance, retiring allowance or termination settlement of any kind whatsoever in respect of such Optionee.

    7.2 Employment and Services.  Nothing contained in the Plan will confer upon or imply in favour of any Optionee any right with respect to office, employment or provision of services with the Company, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to lawfully terminate the Optionee's office, employment or service at any time pursuant to the arrangements pertaining to same.  Participation in the Plan by an Optionee is voluntary.

    7.3 No Rights as Shareholder.  Nothing contained in this Plan nor in any Option granted thereunder shall be deemed to give any Optionee any interest or title in or to any Common Shares of the Company or any rights as a shareholder of the Company or any other legal or equitable right against the Company whatsoever other than as set forth in this Plan and pursuant to the exercise of any Option in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Option Agreement.

    7.4 No Representation or Warranty.  The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the future market value of Optioned Shares issued in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or to the effect of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any other taxing statute governing the Options or the Optioned Shares issuable thereunder or the tax consequences to a Optionee. Compliance with applicable securities laws as to the disclosure and resale obligations of each Optionee is the responsibility of such Optionee and not the Company.

    

    
        - 15 -

    

    7.5 Other Arrangements.  Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to any required approval.

    7.6 No Fettering of Discretion.  The awarding of Options under this Plan is a matter to be determined solely in the discretion of the Board. This Plan shall not in any way fetter, limit, obligate, restrict or constrain the Board with regard to the allotment or issue of any Common Shares or any other securities in the capital of the Company or any of its Affiliates other than as specifically provided for in this Plan.

    10. The Optionee acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Company that:

    (a) the Company has advised the Optionee that the Company is relying on an exemption from the requirements to provide the Optionee with a prospectus under applicable securities legislation and, as a consequence of acquiring the Securities pursuant to this exemption, certain protections, rights and remedies provided by applicable securities legislation, including, in most circumstances, statutory rights of rescission or damages, will not be available to the Optionee; and

    (c) Canadian tax authorities; and

    (d) authorities pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada).

    22. Reference is made to the Plan for particulars of the rights and obligations of the Optionee and the Company in respect of the terms and conditions on which the Options are granted, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Plan were set out in this Agreement and to all of which the Optionee assents.
