PROXY STATEMENT


INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING AND SOLICITATION

General

          The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors (the "Board") for use at the Annual Meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on June 5, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) or at any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof, for the purposes discussed in this proxy statement and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and any business properly brought before the Annual Meeting. Proxies are solicited to give all stockholders of record an opportunity to vote on matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting. We intend to mail this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about April 18, 2008 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held at the Standard Life Xchange Conference Centre, located on the 2nd floor of 888 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2T6.

Who Can Vote

          You are entitled to vote if you were a holder of record of shares of our common stock (the "Common Stock") as of the close of business on April 7, 2008 (the "Record Date"). Your shares can be voted at the Annual Meeting only if you are present in person or represented by a valid proxy.

Shares Outstanding and Quorum

          Holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on April 7, 2008, the Record Date, will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, each of the shares of Common Stock represented at the meeting will be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 56,842,571 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

          In order to carry on the business of the Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum. Under our bylaws, stockholders representing at least 10% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote constitute a quorum.

Proxy Card and Revocation of Proxy

          In voting, please specify your choices by marking the appropriate spaces on the enclosed proxy card, signing and dating the proxy card and returning it in the accompanying envelope. If no directions are given and the signed proxy is returned, the proxy holders will vote the shares in favor of the nominees for directors and each of the proposals set out in this proxy statement and at their discretion on any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. The Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. In addition, since no stockholder proposals or nominations were received by us on a timely basis, no such matters may be brought at the Annual Meeting.

          Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke the proxy at any time before the proxy is voted. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by the stockholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or, if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited at the offices of our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2Y1, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Annual Meeting, or any

2


adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Annual Meeting on the day of the Annual Meeting. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy.

          The persons named as proxyholders in the proxy card were designated by the Board. A stockholder has the right to appoint a person or corporation (who need not be a stockholder) to attend and act for and on behalf of that stockholder at the meeting, other than the designated persons in the enclosed proxy card. To exercise this right, the stockholder may do so by striking out the printed names and inserting the name of such other person and, if desired, an alternate to such person in the blank space provided in the proxy card.

          The shares represented by a stockholder's proxy card will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder on any ballot that may be called for and that, if the stockholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly.

Voting of Shares

          Stockholders of record on April 7, 2008 are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. You may vote in person or by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card. All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly executed proxies received before the polls are closed at the Annual Meeting, and not revoked or superseded, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated on those proxies. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.

Counting of Votes

          All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes and abstentions. Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions as to a particular proposal will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Shares represented by proxies that reflect a broker "non-vote" will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker "non-vote" will be treated as unvoted for purposes of determining approval of a proposal and will not be counted as "for" or "against" that proposal. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary authority or does not have instructions from the beneficial owner.

Solicitation of Proxies

          We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, depositories, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares of the Common Stock in their names that are beneficially owned by others to forward to these beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners for their costs of forwarding the solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services.

Dissenting Stockholder Rights

          Dissenting stockholders have no appraisal rights under Nevada law or under our Articles of Incorporation or bylaws in connection with the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

Advice To Beneficial Stockholders

          The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many stockholders, as a substantial number of stockholders do not hold shares in their own name. Stockholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to in this Proxy Statement as "Beneficial Stockholders") should note that only proxies deposited by stockholders whose names appear on the records of our company as the registered holders of the shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If shares are listed in an account statement provided to a stockholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those shares will not be registered in the stockholder's name on the

3


records of our company. Such shares will more likely be registered under the names of the stockholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In the United States, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many United States brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Beneficial Stockholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their shares are communicated to the appropriate person.

          Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries and brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Stockholders in advance of stockholders' meetings. Every intermediary and broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Stockholders in order to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Stockholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the proxy card provided to registered stockholders by our company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered stockholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Stockholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to ADP Investor Communication Services ("ADP") in the United States and Independent Investor Communications Company ("IICC") in Canada. ADP and IICC typically apply a special sticker to proxy forms, mail those forms to the Beneficial Stockholders. Beneficial Stockholders should return the proxy forms to ADP for the United States and IICC for Canada. ADP and IICC then tabulate the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Stockholder receiving an ADP proxy or an IICC proxy cannot use that proxy to vote shares directly at the Annual Meeting – the proxy must be returned to ADP or IICC, as the case may be, well in advance of the Annual Meeting in order to have their shares voted at the Annual Meeting.

          Although a Beneficial Stockholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Stockholder may attend at the Annual Meeting as proxyholder for the registered stockholder and vote the shares in that capacity. Beneficial Stockholders who wish to attend at the Annual Meeting and indirectly vote their shares as proxyholder for the registered stockholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Annual Meeting.

          Alternatively, a Beneficial Stockholder may request in writing that his or her broker send to the Beneficial Stockholder a legal proxy which would enable the Beneficial Stockholder to attend at the Annual Meeting and vote his or her shares.

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS MATTERS TO BE VOTED ON

          At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will be asked to consider two proposals: (1) the election of the Board and (2) the appointment of independent accountants. A summary of these proposals is as follows:

Proposal 1.      Election of Directors.

          The entire Board is elected annually by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The Board has selected four nominees based upon their ability and experience. The nominees consist of Randy G. Buchamer, William Laird, David Raffa and William Krebs. All of the nominees with the exception of William Krebs are currently serving as directors of our company.

          The Board recommends that you vote FOR the election of the nominees as directors of our company.

Proposal 2.      Appointment of Independent Accountants.

          The Audit Committee has nominated Ernst & Young LLP, Chartered Accountants, to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm until the next Annual Meeting in 2009. Ernst & Young LLP provided audit and other services in 2007 and 2006. This included the following fees:

4



      2007     2006  
  Audit Fees $ 95,000   $ 85,000  
  Audit Related Fees   -     -  
  Tax Fees   11,000     9,000  
  All Other Fees   1,000     1,000  
  Total Fees $ 107,000   $ 95,000  

          The Audit Committee has reviewed with Ernst & Young whether the non-audit services provided by them are compatible with maintaining their independence. Representatives of Ernst & Young will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make any statements they desire, and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

          The Board recommends that you vote FOR approval of Ernst & Young as the independent registered public accounting firm for our company.

          The following table sets forth the names, positions and ages of our executive officers and directors. All our directors serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualify.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

          Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

          Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by our company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for those persons, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2007 all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with, with the exception of the following:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

          The TSX requires every listed company to disclose on an annual basis its approach to corporate governance. In 2005, the TSX adopted National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, which requires us to disclose certain corporate governance information as is set out in Form 58-101F1 Corporate Governance Disclosure, which came into effect on June 30, 2005. A description of our approach to corporate governance, with our responses to the Form 58-101F1 Corporate Governance Disclosure, is set out in Exhibit A.

          Section 613(9) of the TSX Company Manual requires us to disclose on an annual basis the terms of any security based compensation arrangements and any amendments that were adopted in the last fiscal year. See Exhibit C for our disclosure regarding security based compensation arrangements.

          We currently act with seven directors, consisting of Randy Buchamer, Morgan Sturdy, William Laird, Gary Donahee, David Raffa, Sherman Hendersonand Gerry Butters. We have determined that Morgan Sturdy, William Laird, Sherman Henderson, Gary Donahee, David Raffa and Gerry Butters are independent directors as defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         We currently act with a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Corporate Governance Committee, Strategic/Finance Planning Committee and Sales Committee. We do not have a standing nominating committee but our entire board of directors acts as our nominating committee. If any stockholder seeks to nominate a director or bring any other business at any meeting of our stockholders, the stockholder must comply with the procedures contained in our bylaws and the stockholder must notify us in writing and such notice must be delivered to or received by the Secretary in accordance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. A stockholder may write to the Secretary of our company at our principal executive office, 100 - 4190 Lougheed Hwy, Burnaby, British Columbia,

8


Canada V5C 6A8, to deliver the notices discussed above and for a copy of the relevant bylaw provisions regarding the requirements for making stockholder proposals and nominating director candidates.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

          In the year ended December 31, 2007, there were four meetings held by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee currently consists of William Laird, Morgan Sturdy and David Raffa. We currently do not have an Audit Committee Chairman. Mr. Laird, Mr. Sturdy and Mr. Raffa are also non-employee directors of our company. All of the members of the Audit Committee are independent as defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) and Multilateral Instrument 52-110, adopted by various Canadian securities commissions. Each of the members of the Audit Committee are financially literate as defined in Multilateral Instrument 52-110. For a description of Mr. Laird’s and Mr. Raffa’s education and experience, see the section of this proxy statement entitled “Nominees for Election”. As Mr. Sturdy is not seeking re-election at the Annual Meeting, our company anticipates that Mr. Krebs will be appointed as a member of the audit committee following the Annual Meeting. However, our company may elect to appoint an alternate person in place of Mr. Krebs in the event he is unwilling or unable to act as a member of our audit committee.

          The Audit Committee was established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Audit Committee is directed to review the scope, cost and results of the independent audit of our books and records, the results of the annual audit with management and the adequacy of our accounting, financial and operating controls; to recommend annually to the Board the selection of the independent registered accountants; to consider proposals made by the independent registered accountants for consulting work; and to report to the Board, when so requested, on any accounting or financial matters. The Board adopted its charter for the Audit Committee on April 26, 2002, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Audit Committee of the Board was formed in February 2000.

          For a description of the Audit Committee's Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures and a description of fees paid to the independent registered accountants, see the section of this proxy statement entitled "Proposal 2 Ratification of Selection of Independent Auditors" or Item 14 - "Principle Accountant Fees and Services" of our Form 10-KSB filed as our Annual Information Form. Our Annual Information Form is available on Sedar at www.sedar.com.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

          The Securities Exchange Act requires the Board to determine if a member of its Audit Committee is an "audit committee financial expert." According to these requirements, an Audit Committee member can be designated an Audit Committee financial expert only when the Audit Committee member satisfies specified qualification requirements, such as experience (or "experience actively supervising" others engaged in) preparing, auditing, analyzing, or evaluating financial statements presenting a level of accounting complexity comparable to what is encountered in connection with our company's financial statements. Such qualifications may be acquired through specified means of experience or education. While the Board has confidence in the ability and the effectiveness of its Audit Committee, the Board has determined that no current Audit Committee member qualifies as an Audit Committee financial expert. However, the Board believes that the current members of the Audit Committee are qualified and collectively have sufficiently extensive financial training and experience to carry out the duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee. A vacancy remains on the Board due to the resignation of Ken Miller in November 2007. The Board desires to fill this vacancy with a person satisfying the requirements for an Audit Committee financial expert, assuming that such individual satisfies such other criteria that the Board believes are important for an individual to make a meaningful contribution to the deliberations of the Board as a whole.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee currently consists of Gary Donahee, Sherman Henderson and David Raffa, all of whom are non-employee directors of our company. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves annual salaries, bonuses and other forms and items of compensation for our senior officers and employees. Except for plans that are, in accordance with their terms or as required by law, administered by the Board or another particularly designated group, the Compensation Committee also administers and implements all of our stock option and other stock-based and equity-based benefit plans (including performance-based plans), recommends changes or additions to those plans, and reports to the Board on compensation matters. The Board adopted its charter for the Compensation Committee on March 30, 2006, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix II to Exhibit A. The Compensation Committee was formed in February 2000. To the extent required by law, a separate committee of disinterested parties administers the Second Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

          Ernst & Young LLP has audited our financial statements since March 10, 2000. At the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board has selected Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2008, and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent auditors for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

          Stockholder ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by the bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Board will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the board determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our company and its stockholders.

          Representatives of Ernst & Young attend all meetings of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews audit and non-audit services performed by Ernst & Young as well as the fees charged by Ernst & Young for such services. In its review of non-audit service fees, the Audit Committee considers, among other things, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the auditor's independence. Additional information concerning the Audit Committee and its activities with Ernst & Young can be found under the sections of this proxy statement entitled "Committees of the Board of Directors" on page 8 and "Audit Committee Report" on page 9.

          Our Audit Committee has considered and determined that the services provided by Ernst & Young are compatible with maintaining the independence of the principal accountant.

          Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Fees Paid to Ernst & Young

          Ernst & Young provided audit and other services during 2007 and 2006. This included the following fees:

      2007     2006  
  Audit Fees $ 95,000   $ 85,000  
  Audit Related Fees   -     -  
  Tax Fees   11,000     9,000  
  All Other Fees   1,000     1,000  
  Total Fees $ 107,000   $ 95,000  

Audit Fees. This category includes the fees for the audit of our consolidated financial statements and the quarterly reviews of interim financial statements. This category also includes advice on audit and accounting matters that arose during or as a result of the audit or the review of interim financial statements and services in connection with SEC filings.

Audit Related Fees. There were no audit related fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP.

Tax Fees. This category includes the fees for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

All Other Fees. There were no other fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP.

          Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before Ernst & Young LLP is engaged by our company or its subsidiaries to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

  - approved by our audit committee; or
   
  -

entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

          The Audit Committee requires advance approval of all audit, audit-related, tax, and other services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to perform it. The Audit Committee has delegated to the chair of the Audit Committee authority to approve permitted services provided that the chair reports any decisions to the committee at its next scheduled meeting.

          The Audit Committee has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP, and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP's independence.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

          The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION

APPENDIX I TO EXHIBIT A

Corporate Governance Committee Mandate and Principles

Corporate governance: The process and structure used to direct and manage the business and affairs of the corporation with the objective of enhancing long-term value for the shareholders and the financial viability of the business. The process and structure define the division of power and accountability among shareholders, the board of directors and management and can have an impact on other stakeholders such as employees, customers, suppliers and communities. – Dey Committee Report, 1994.

The Committee will nominate directors capable of adding shareholder value.

The Committee will develop and recommend to the Board an approach to corporate governance issues raised in the former TSX guidelines and other relevant literature.

The Committee will be a sounding board for the concerns of individual directors relating to corporate governance.

The Committee will ensure that there is a clear definition and separation of the responsibilities of the Board, its committees, the Chief Executive Officer and officers of the Company. This is to be maintained and all responsibilities clearly assigned.

The Committee recommends and if adopted by the board will be responsible for monitoring the following principles:

  • directors will oversee management of the business and not manage the business day-to-day or add bureaucratic burden which could impede the effectiveness of management;

For the purposes of the Company's Audit Committee Charter, the definition of “financially literate” is the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.

The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at its first meeting following the annual shareholders’ meeting. Unless a Chairperson is elected by the full Board, the members of the Committee may designate a Chairperson by a majority vote of the full Committee membership.

The Company and the Committee shall ensure that it satisfies the composition and other requirements adopted by any securities regulatory authority or stock exchange from time to time.

The Committee shall meet a least quarterly or more frequently as circumstances dictate. As part of its job to foster open communication, the Committee will meet at least annually with the Chief Financial Officer and the external auditors in separate sessions.

EXHIBIT C

DISCLOSURE RESPECTING SECURITY BASED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

The TSX requires that issuers disclose the terms of any security based compensation arrangements which they have in place. The only security based compensation arrangements which we had in place is the Second Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan, which was approved by the TSX and by our shareholders. This information is being provided to meet our disclosure obligations under TSX policies.

Eligible Participants. Stock options may be issued to directors, senior officers, employees, contractors, consultants and other service providers of our company or of any of its affiliates or subsidiaries.

Number of Securities Issued and Issuable. Each stock option granted under the stock option plan is exercisable into one share of our common stock. As of the date of this information circular, a total of 7,470,884 stock options have been granted and are unexercised, representing 13.1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. In addition, a total of 7,470,884 stock options are issuable under the stock option plan as of the date hereof, representing 13.1% of the number of shares of our common stock currently outstanding. The total number of stock options issued and issuable under the stock option plan as of the date hereof represent 16.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.

Maximum Stock Options per Person. The number of shares reserved for issuance to any one stock option holder pursuant to stock options granted under the stock option plan may not exceed 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock at the time of grant.

Exercise Price. The exercise price of stock options granted under the stock option plan is set by the board of directors at the time that the options are granted. The exercise price must be not less than a price equal to the closing price of the shares of our common stock on the TSX on the date immediately preceding the date of grant.

No Assignment. The stock options may not be assigned or transferred.

Vesting. The board of directors has discretion to impose terms and conditions as to the vesting of stock options. Any vesting provisions are set at the time that the options are granted.

Term. The term of stock options is set by the board of directors at the time of grant. No maximum term is prescribed under the stock option plan. To date no stock options have ever been granted by the board of directors for a term exceeding five years.

Termination of Stock Options. The provisions respecting termination of stock options may be set by the board of directors. If the board of directors does not so specify, stock options held by an optionee terminate after the earliest of (i) three months after the optionee’s employment terminates by reason of his disability or retirement, (ii) twelve months after his or her death (in which case his or her estate may exercise them), (iii) thirty days from the date of termination of the optionee’s employment with our company other than by reason of death, disability or retirement. Generally speaking, if an employee is terminated without cause, the board of directors will allow the employee to retain his or her stock options for the unexpired term of the stock options.

Amendments to Stock Option Plans. No material amendments may be made to the stock option plan without the approval of the TSX and our shareholders by way of disinterested vote.

Financial Assistance. We do not provide financial assistance to optionees to facilitate the exercise of their stock options.
