 WHEREAS the Indemnified Party has agreed to act as a director and/or
officer of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries, or serve, at the request of the Company, as a director and/or officer of another body corporate of which the Company is a shareholder or creditor (as defined in the Business Corporations

 AND WHEREAS in accordance with the provisions of the by-laws of the Company (the “By-Laws”) and the Act, it is desired that the Company
indemnify the Indemnified Party in certain circumstances in respect of liability which the Indemnified Party may incur as a result of his acting as a director and/or officer of the Company, or as a director and/or officer of another Body Corporate;

  
 NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF the premises and
mutual covenants herein contained, and in consideration of the sum of One ($1.00) Dollar paid by the Indemnified Party to the Company (the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged) and the Indemnified Party acting as a director and/or officer of the
Company or as a director and/or officer of another Body Corporate, the Company and the Indemnified Party do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Agreement to Serve 

  
 The Indemnified Party agrees to serve and/or continue to serve the Company and the Body Corporate of which the Company is a shareholder or creditor as a
director and/or officer and to so serve faithfully and to the best of his ability so long as the Indemnified Party is duly elected or appointed, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the By-Laws until such time as the
Indemnified Party tenders in writing its resignation from such position. 
  

	2.	Indemnification 

  
 The Company agrees, subject to applicable law: 
  

	(a)	 	Except in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Company or a Body Corporate to procure a judgment in its favour, to indemnify the Indemnified Party and his heirs and legal
representatives against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action, cause of action or to satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to
which the Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officers of the Company or of a Body Corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, if: 

  

	 	(i)	 	the Indemnified Party acts honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company; and 

	 	(ii)	 	in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty, the Indemnified Party had reasonable grounds for believing that the
Indemnified Party’s conduct was lawful. 

  

	(b)	 	To indemnify the Indemnified Party and his heirs and legal representative in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Company or a Body Corporate to procure a judgment in its
favour, to which the Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of being or having been a director of officer of the Company or of a Body Corporate, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action if
the Indemnified Party has fulfilled the conditions set forth in subsections a(i) and (ii) set out above and if the Company obtains the approval of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta to so indemnify him. 

  

	(c)	 	In the event that the approval of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta or any other court is required to effect any indemnification granted hereunder, the Company agrees to
make its best efforts to obtain the Court’s approval to such indemnification provided that the director seeking indemnification has fulfilled the conditions set forth in subsection a(i) and (ii) herein. 

  

	(d)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, to indemnify the Indemnified Party and his heirs and legal representatives in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defence of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which the Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Company or of a Body Corporate, if the
Indemnified Party: 

  

	 	(i)	 	was substantially successful on the merits in his defence of the action or proceeding; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	fulfills the conditions set out in subsections a(i) and (ii) set out above; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 	is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. 

  

	(e)	 	To indemnify the Indemnified party and his heirs and legal representatives in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defence of
any threatened civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding or alleged wrongdoing against the Indemnified Party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Company or of a Body Corporate. 

  
 The intention of this Agreement is to provide the Indemnified Party
indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted, by implication or otherwise, in limitation of
the scope of the indemnification provided in this Section 2, and this Section 2 is intended to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by the Act and, in the event that such statute is amended, to permit a
broader scope of indemnification (including, without limitation, the deletion or limiting of one or more of the provisos to the applicability of indemnification), this Section 2 shall be deemed to be amended concurrently with the amendment to the
statute so as to provide such broader indemnification. 
  

 2 

	3.	Pre-paid Expenses 

  
 All costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in investigating, defending or appealing any civil, criminal or
administrative action or proceeding, actual or threatened, covered hereunder shall, at the request of the Indemnified Party, be paid by the Company in advance as may be appropriate to enable the Indemnified Party to properly investigate, defend or
appeal such proceeding, with the understanding and agreement being herein made that, in the event it is ultimately determined as provided hereunder that the Indemnified Party was not entitled to be so indemnified, or was not entitled to be fully so
indemnified, that Indemnified Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and to pay to the Company such amount or the appropriate portion thereof, so paid in advance. 
  

	4.	Other Rights and Remedies 

  
 Indemnification and advance payment of expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed to derogate from or exclude any other rights to which
the Indemnified Party may be entitled under any provision of the Act or otherwise at law, the articles of the Company, the By-Laws, this Agreement, any vote of shareholders of the Company, or otherwise, both as a matter arising out of his capacity
as a director and/or officer of the Company, or as to matters arising out of another capacity with the Company while being a director and/or officer of the Company, or as a matter arising by reason of his being or having been, at the request of the
Company, a director and/or officer, of any other Body Corporate and shall continue after the Indemnified Party has ceased to be a director and/or officer of the Company or any other Body Corporate. 
  

	5.	Limitation of Actions and Release of Claims 

  
 No legal action shall be brought and no course of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company or any affiliate (as defined in the Act) of the
Company against the Indemnified Party, his estate, executors, administrators, legal representatives or lawful heirs after the expiration of two years from the date the Indemnified Party ceased (for any reason) to be a director and/or officer of the
Company or a Body Corporate if the Indemnified Party originally served in that position at the request or appointment of the Company, and the Company agrees that any claim or cause of action of the Company or of an affiliate shall be extinguished
and the Indemnified Party, his estate, executors, administrators, legal representatives and lawful heirs deemed released therefrom absolutely unless asserted by the commencement of legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction within such
two-year period. 
  

	6.	Notice of Proceedings 

  
 The Indemnified Party agrees to give reasonable notice to the Company within seven days of being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of
motion, indictment or other document commencing or continuing any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding against the Indemnified Party as a party, and the Company agrees to notify the Indemnified Party in writing within seven days of
being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment or other document commencing or continuing any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding naming the Indemnified Party as a party to such proceeding.

  

	7.	Counsel 

  
 The Company may retain counsel, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to represent the Indemnified Party in any such matter. In
any such matter the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain counsel, or other counsel, to act on his behalf provided that the fees and disbursements of such other counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless: 
  

	(a)	 	the Indemnified Party and the Company shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such other counsel; 

  

 3 

	(b)	 	the Company shall not have retained counsel to represent the Indemnified Party within 10 days of receiving notice of the claim or other matter to which indemnity may be required to
be provided hereunder; or 

  

	(c)	 	the named parties to any such action, claim, demand or proceeding (including any added third, or interpleaded parties) include the Company or Body Corporate and the Indemnified
Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (including the availability of different defences) 

  
 in which event the Company agrees to pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel.

  

	8.	Indemnified Party to Cooperate 

  
 The Indemnified Party agrees to give the Company such information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably require from time to time in respect of
all matters hereunder. 
  

	9.	Insurance 

  
 The Company agrees that in the event the Company or Body Corporate shall maintain a policy of insurance with respect to liability relating to its
directors or officers which policy may pursuant to its terms extend to the Indemnified Party in his capacity as a director and/or officer of the Company and/or Body Corporate, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to include the
Indemnified Party as an insured under such policy to the maximum extent reasonably possible. 
  

	10.	Effective Time 

  
 This Agreement shall be effective as and from the first day that the Indemnified Party became or becomes a director and/or officer of the Company or
commenced or commences to serve, at the request of the Company, as an officer and/or director of a Body Corporate. 
  

	11.	Notices 

  
 Unless otherwise permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests, demands or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been fully given if personally delivered to the party to whom the notice or other communication is directed. 
  
 If the Company receives notice from any other source of any matter which the Indemnified Party would otherwise be obligated hereunder to give notice of to
the Company, then the Indemnified Party shall be relieved of his obligation hereunder to give notice to the Company, provided the Company has not suffered any damage from the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as herein required.

such provisions held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that are not of themselves in whole invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and 

  

	(b)	 	to the fullest possible extent, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitations, all portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provisions
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not of themselves in whole invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision which is held to be invalid, illegal or

 62000 Stock Option Plan

 Exhibit 10.2 
  
 BAKBONE SOFTWARE INCORPORATED 
  
 STOCK OPTION PLAN 
 1. PURPOSE 
  
 The purpose of this Stock Option Plan (the
“Plan”) is to authorize the grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants on an on-going basis (the “Consultants”) of BAKBONE SOFTWARE INCORPORATED (the “Company”) or any present or future subsidiary thereof
of stock options (“Options”) to purchase common shares (“Shares”) of the Company’s capital and thus benefit the Company by enabling it to attract, retain and motivate directors, officers, employees and consultants by
providing them with the opportunity, through Options, to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Company. 
  
 2. ADMINISTRATION 
  
 The Plan shall be administered by the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company. The Board may make grants, subject to the terms of the Plan, to such eligible persons (the “Optionees”) and
will determine the number of Shares in the share capital of the Company which will be the object of Options, in its sole discretion. 
  
 3. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN 
  
 Subject to adjustment under the provisions of paragraph 12 hereof, Options may be granted in respect of authorized and un-issued Shares of the Company provided that,
subject to the receipt of the approval of Toronto Stock Exchange and the approval of the shareholders of the Company, the maximum number of shares which may be reserved for issuance to this Plan and defined under the Securities Act (Alberta)
under the Plan, and any other compensation mechanism, shall be as set out in the attached SCHEDULE “A”. The total number of Shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one Optionee under the Plan shall not exceed 5% of the total
number of issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) less Shares reserved for issuance under any stock option agreement. 
  
 4. LIMITS WITH RESPECT TO INSIDERS 
  
 A share compensation arrangement, together with all of the Company’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, will not result, in
either: 
  

	 	(a)	 	the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options granted to insiders exceeding 10% of the outstanding issue; 

  

	 	(b)	 	the issuance to insiders, within a one-year period, of a number of shares exceeding 10% of the outstanding issue; or 

  

	 	(c)	 	The issuance to any one insider and such insider’s associates, within a one-year period, of a number of shares exceeding 5% of the outstanding issue. 

 
 5. ELIGIBILITY 
  
 Options shall be granted only to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or any subsidiary. The term
“subsidiary” as used in the Plan shall mean any company in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total combined voting rights of all classes of stock. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing, the Board shall have full and final authority to determine the
persons who are to be granted Options under the Plan and the number of Shares subject to each Option. 

 6. PRICE 
  
 The purchase price (the “Price”) for the Shares of the Company under each Option shall be determined by the Board on the basis of the market price, where
“market price” shall mean the prior trading day closing price of the Shares of the Company on the Toronto Exchange and where there is no such closing price, “market price” shall mean the weighted average of the closing price per
share for the immediately preceding five (5) consecutive trading days on the Toronto Stock Exchange. 
  
 7. PERIOD OF OPTION AND RIGHTS TO EXERCISE 
  
 Subject to the provisions of this paragraph and paragraphs 8, 9 and 10 below, Options will be exercisable in whole or in part, and from time to time, during the currency thereof. Options shall not be granted for a term exceeding ten (10)
years. The Shares to be purchased upon each exercise of any Option shall be paid for in full, in cash or by certified cheque, at the time of such exercise. Except as provided in paragraphs 8 and 9 below, no Option which is held by a director,
officer or employee may be exercised unless the Optionee is then director, officer or in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary. Absence on leave approved for an officer of the Company or any subsidiary authorized to give such approval shall
not be considered an interruption of employment for any purpose under the Plan. 
  
 8. NON TRANSFERABILITY & NON ASSIGNABILITY OF OPTION 
  
 No
Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable or assignable by an Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and such Option shall be exercisable, during his lifetime, only by him, as provided in paragraph 10
below. 
  
 9. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 
  
 If any Optionee who is a director, officer or employee shall cease to be an officer,
director or employee of the Company or any subsidiary for any reason (except as otherwise provided in paragraph 10), he may exercise his options, but only within the period of ninety (90) days succeeding such cessation and in no event after the
expiry date of his Option. Before the expiry date of such Option, the Board shall notify the Optionee of such expiry in writing. The entitlement of a Consultant to Options, including the entitlement to Options upon termination, shall be determined
by the terms of the Consultant’s agreement and the requirements of the Plan. 
  
 10. DEATH OF OPTIONEE 
  
 In the event of the death of an
Optionee during the currency of his Option, the Option theretofore granted to him shall be exercisable within, but only within, the period of one year next succeeding his death, and in no event after the expiry date of his Option. Before expiry of
an Option under this paragraph, the Board shall notify the Optionee’s representatives in writing of such expiry. 
  
 11. EXTENSION OF OPTION 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 9 and 10, the Board may extend the period of time within which an Option held by a deceased Optionee may be exercised or within which an Option may be exercised by an
Optionee who has ceased to be an officer, director or employee of the Company, but such an extension shall not be granted beyond a period of twelve (12) months in the case of officers and directors who are not also employees and thirty-six (36)
months in the case of employees and, in any event, shall not extend beyond the original expiry date of the Option. Any extension of Options granted under this Plan are subject to regulatory approval. 
  
 12. ADJUSTMENTS IN SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN 
  
 The aggregate number and class of Shares available under the Plan shall be appropriately
adjusted in the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of Shares, merger, consolidation, share issuance pursuant to a rights offering or any other change in the corporate structure or Shares of the
Company. The 
  

 2 

 Option granted under the Plan shall contain such provisions as the Board may determine the appropriate adjustments to be
made with respect to Options granted or to the granted relatively to the Option Price in the event of any such change. Any adjustment arising as a result of a stock dividend shall be subject to regulatory approval. 
  
 13. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 
  
 The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Plan upon receipt of requisite regulatory
approval, provided, however that no such amendment alter or impair any of the terms of Options previously granted under the Plan without the consent of the Optionee. 
  
 14. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN 
  
 The Plan became effective on the date of its adoption by the Board and Options may be granted immediately thereafter. Amendments to the Plan are effective as set forth
under Section 21 hereof “Approval” and as is indicated on Schedule ”A”. 
  
 15. EVIDENCE OF OPTIONS 
  
 Each Option
granted under the Plan shall be embodied in a written Option agreement between the Company and the Optionee which shall give the provisions of the Plan. 
  
 16. EXERCISE OF OPTION 
  
 Subject to the Provisions of the Plan, an Option may be exercised from time to time by delivering to the Secretary of the Company at its registered office a written notice of exercise specifying the number of Shares
with respect to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in full, in cash or by certified cheque, of the purchase price of the Shares then being purchased. Certificates for such Shares shall be issued and delivered to the
Optionee within a reasonable period of time following the receipt of such notice. 
  
 Upon receipt of a certificate of an authorized officer directing the issue of Shares purchased under the Plan, the transfer agent is authorized and directed to issue and countersign share certificates for the Options exercised in the name
of such Optionee or his legal personal representative or as may be directed in writing by his legal personal representative. 
  
 17. NOTICE OF SALE OF ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL SHARES OR ASSETS 
  
 Should the Company sell all or a substantial part of its assets, or that it should be purchased by a third party or merged, the Optionee will then have the right to
exercise its Options for the total number of unexercised Shares within thirty (30) days following the date of the completion of such sale. The Company may, at its discretion, reduce this thirty day delay. 
  
 18. RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE 
  
 The holder of an Option shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with
respect to any of the shares covered by such Option until such holder shall have exercised such Option in accordance with the terms of the Plan (including tendering payment in full of the Option price of the Shares in respect of which the Option is
being exercised) and the issuance of Shares by the Company. 
  
 19. GOVERNING
LAW 
  
 This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and be governed
by the laws of the Province of Alberta and shall be deemed to have been made in said Province and shall be in accordance with all applicable securities laws.

 20. EXPIRY OF OPTION 
  
 On the expiry date of any Option granted under the Plan, and pursuant to any extension of such expiry date permitted in accordance with the Plan, such Option hereby
granted forthwith expires and terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever as to such of the optioned Shares in respect of which the Option has not been exercised. 
  
 21. APPROVAL 
  
 The Plan has been approved by the directors of the Company on September 12, 1996, as amended and approved by shareholders on March 13, 2000, and, subsequently, on October
30, 2000, and supersedes and replaces all prior stock option plans. 
  
 22.
ENGAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY 
  
 The Company hereby acknowledges that pursuant
to policy 634 of the Toronto Exchange, the Company is required to pre-clear any amendment to the Share Option Plan or to any Option within or outside such Plan with the Toronto Exchange. Consequently, the Company hereby undertakes to obtain the
approval of The Toronto Exchange to any amendments it proposes to make to the Plan prior to the issuance of any Shares pursuant to such amendment.
