MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

FOR THE ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 30, 2009

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management ("Management") of Grandview Gold Inc. ("Grandview" or the "Corporation") for use at the annual and special meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders ("Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") of the Corporation.

The Meeting will be held at 130 King Street West, Suite 1600, Toronto, ON M5X 1J5 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on November 30, 2009, and at any adjournments thereof for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders accompanying this Information Circular. Information contained herein is given as of October 30, 2009 unless otherwise specifically stated.

Solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail but may be supplemented by solicitation personally by directors, officers and employees of the Corporation without special compensation. The cost of solicitation by Management will be borne by the Corporation.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Enclosed herewith is a form of proxy for use at the Meeting. The persons named in the form of proxy are directors and officers of the Corporation. A Shareholder submitting a proxy has the right to appoint a nominee (who need not be a Shareholder) to represent him at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the enclosed proxy form by inserting the name of his chosen nominee in the space provided for that purpose on the form and by striking out the printed names.

A form of proxy will not be valid for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof unless it is signed by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder's attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, it must be executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney thereof. The proxy, to be acted upon, must be deposited with the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, Equity Transfer & Trust Company at 200 University Avenue, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1 by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 27, 2009, or in the case of any adjournment of the Meeting, not less than 48 hours prior to the time of such meeting, or delivering it to the Chairman of the Meeting, on the day of the meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of the voting.

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it prior to its use, in any manner permitted by law, including by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney thereof and deposited at the office of the Equity Transfer & Trust Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of Grandview as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name on the records of Grandview. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the names of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Depository and Clearing Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person.


Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Services, Inc. ("Broadridge"). Broadridge typically mails a scanable voting instruction form in lieu of the form of proxy. The Beneficial Shareholder is requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to them by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, the Beneficial Shareholder can call a toll-free telephone number to vote the Common Shares held by the Beneficial Shareholder. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that voting instruction form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting as the voting instruction form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for a registered shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for a registered shareholder 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 Meeting.

VOTING OF PROXIES

All Common Shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted on any ballot that may be called for and, where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the accompanying form of proxy, the Common Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such instructions. In the absence of any such instruction, the persons whose names appear on the printed form of proxy will vote in favour of all the matters set out thereon. The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein. If any other business or amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting properly comes before the Meeting then discretionary authority is conferred upon the person appointed in the proxy to vote in the manner they see fit, in accordance with their best judgment. At the time of the printing of this Information Circular, Management knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting.

SUPPLEMENTAL MAILING LIST

Under National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations, a person or corporation who in the future wishes to receive financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis from the Corporation must deliver a written request for such material to the Corporation, together with a signed statement that the person or corporation is the owner of securities (other than debt instruments) of the Corporation. Shareholders who wish to receive financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis are encouraged to send the enclosed mail card, together with the completed form of proxy to Equity Transfer & Trust Company, at 200 University Avenue, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1. Copies of the Corporation's annual and interim financial statements are also available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Review Process

The Corporation has a Compensation Committee (the "Committee") but does not retain a compensation consultant. The Committee oversees an annual review of director and executive compensation to ensure development of a compensation strategy that properly aligns the interests of directors and executives with the long-term interests of the Corporation and its Shareholders. The Compensation Committee is comprised of D. Richard Brown, Harold Wolkin and Dr. Michael Hitch.

- 7 -


The Compensation Committee reviews on an annual basis the cash compensation, performance and overall compensation package for each NEO. It then submits to the Board recommendations with respect to the basic salary, bonus and participation in share compensation arrangements for each NEO. After discussing various factors with both Management and peers in the industry, and receiving recommendations from for bonuses 2009 salaries for executive officers, the Compensation Committee made its recommendations to the Board for approval. In conducting its review of Management’s recommendations, the Compensation Committee was satisfied that all recommendations complied with the Compensation Committee’s philosophy and guidelines set forth above.

Objectives of the Compensation Program

The objectives of the Corporation's compensation program are to attract, hold and inspire performance of members of Management of a quality and nature that will enhance the sustainable growth of the Corporation.

To determine compensation payable, the compensation committee of the Corporation (the "Compensation Committee") reviews compensation paid for directors and officers of companies of similar business, size and stage of development and determine an appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the directors and NEO's while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Corporation.

The annual salaries for NEOs are designed to be comparable to executive compensation packages for similar positions at companies with similar financial, operating and industrial characteristics. The NEOs will be paid an annual salary that also takes into account his or her existing professional qualifications and experience. The NEOs' performances and salaries are to be reviewed periodically on the anniversary of their appointment to their respective officer-ships with the Corporation. Increases in salary are to be evaluated on an individual basis and are performance and market-based.

The Board is given discretion to determine and adjust, year to year, the relative weighting of each form of compensation discussed above in a manner which best measures the success of the Corporation and its NEO's.

Elements of Executive Compensation

The Corporation's executive compensation program is based on the objectives of: (a) recruiting and retaining the executives critical to the success of the Corporation; (b) providing fair and competitive compensation; (c) balancing the interests of Management and Shareholders; and (d) rewarding performance, on the basis of both individual and corporate performance.

For the financial year ended May 31, 2009, the Corporation's executive compensation program consisted of the following elements:

  (a)

a base salary, incentive cash bonuses and other compensation (together, a "Short-Term Incentive"); and

     
  (b)

a long-term equity compensation consisting of stock options granted under the Corporation's stock incentive plan (each, a "Long-Term Incentive").

The specific rationale and design of each of these elements are outlined in detail below.

Element of Compensation Summary and Purpose of Element
   
Short-Term Incentive Plan  
   

Base Salary

Executive annual base salaries are set at a level that is competitive with compensation for executive officers of peer group oil and gas companies and having regard to the potential longer term compensation provided by the Option Plan. Salaries form an essential element of the Corporation's compensation mix as they are the first base measure to compare and remain competitive relative to peer groups. Base salaries are fixed and therefore not subject to uncertainty and are used as the base to determine other elements of compensation and benefits.

- 8 -



The Compensation Committee and the Board review NEO salaries at least annually. Typically, the Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, makes annual salary adjustments no later than April 15th of each year for the 12 month period from June 1st to May 31st.

Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives

Any bonus paid to the NEO's is entirely within the discretion of the Board, following consideration by the Compensation Committee. In making bonus determinations, the Board reviews corporate and individual performance.

Annual performance-based cash bonuses are a variable component of compensation designed to reward the Corporation’s executive officers for maximizing annual operating performance.

 

Other Compensation (Perquisites)

There are currently no other forms of compensation.

 

Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

Stock Options

The granting of stock options is a variable component of compensation intended to reward the NEO's for their success in achieving sustained, long-term profitability and increases in stock value.

The executive officers are entitled to participate in the Option Plan which forms an important element of the Corporations compensation policies. Options grants are periodically made to recognize exemplary performance (including in connection with a promotion within the Corporation) and provide for long-term reward and incentive for increasing shareholder value and align the interests of the executive officers with the long- term interests of shareholders. Options may also be granted to executive officers upon their commencement of service.

Base Salary

In determining the base salary of an NEO, the Board's practice in recent years has been to consider the recommendations made by the Compensation Committee and then review and summarize these recommendations as well as the previous year’s remuneration paid to executives with similar titles at a comparative group of companies in the marketplace. In determining the base salary to be paid to a particular executive officer, the Board also considers the particular responsibilities related to the position, the experience level of the NEO, and his or her past performance at the Corporation.

The Board believes that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels based in large part on a general consideration against similar companies, both in terms of compensation practices as well as levels of compensation. In this way, the Corporation can gauge if its compensation is competitive in the marketplace for its talent, as well as ensure that the Corporation's compensation is reasonable. Accordingly, the Board reviews compensation levels for the Named Executive Officers against compensation levels of the comparison companies which are identified by the Board.

Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives

NEO's are eligible for annual cash bonuses, and the Board considers both corporate and the individual performance of each NEO. There is no policy currently in place for determining bonuses, and the Board reviews generally the individual’s impact on maximizing operating performance. In general the Corporation will consider the following factors, depending on the relevance of these factors to the particular NEO, when determining potential bonuses:

  (a)

performance against budget;

     
  (b)

expense control;

     
  (c)

performance factors; and

     
  (d)

other exceptional or unexpected factors.

In taking into account the financial performance aspect, it is recognized that NEO's cannot control certain factors, such as overall market conditions. When applying the financial performance criteria, the Board considers factors over which the NEO's can exercise control, such as meeting budget targets established by the Board at the beginning of each year, controlling costs, taking successful advantage of business opportunities and enhancing the competitive and business prospects of the Corporation.

Other Long-Term Incentive Plans

The Corporation does not have any other long-term incentive plans and does not provide retirement benefits to its employees.

Overview of How the Compensation Program Fits with Compensation Goals

1.

Attract, Hold and Inspire Key Talent

The compensation package meets the goal of attracting, holding and motivating key talent in a highly competitive mineral exploration environment through the following elements:

  (a)

A competitive cash compensation program, consisting of base salary and bonus opportunity, which is generally above similar opportunities.

     
  (b)

Providing an opportunity to participate in the Corporation's growth through options.


2.

Alignment of Interests of NEO's with Interests of the Shareholders

The compensation package meets the goal of aligning the interests of the NEO's with the interests of Shareholders through the following elements:

  (a)

Through the grant of stock options, if the price of the Corporation shares increases over time, both NEO's and Shareholders will benefit.

     
  (b)

By providing a vesting period on stock awards, NEO's have an interest in increasing the price of the Corporation's shares over time, rather than focusing on short-term increases.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Statement of Corporate Governance

Effective June 30, 2005 National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") of the Canadian Securities Administrators was adopted. Pursuant to NI 58-101 an issuer whose common shares are traded on the TSX and which issuer is seeking proxies from its security holders for the purposes of electing directors must include in its management information circular the corporate governance practices which have been adopted by the issuer as more fully set out in NI 58-101.

Corporate governance refers to the manner in which a board of directors oversees the management and direction of a corporation. Governance is not a static issue, and must be judged from time-to-time based on the evolution of a corporation with respect to its size and the nature or its business, and upon the changing standards of the community. Not all corporate governance systems are alike. The Corporation's approach has been developed with respect to the Corporation's growth and current status. The composition of the Board is reviewed on an annual basis by the full Board and Management.

In reviewing the issue of corporate governance, the Board has determined to perform the function as an entire Board. The Board's mandate was to consider corporate governance matters and make recommendations consistent with the Corporation's position and size as a junior mining corporation. The resulting approach to corporate governance adopted by the Board reflects these recommendations and recognizes the responsibility of the Board for the stewardship of the Corporation.

The Corporation's approach to corporate governance is set out in Schedule "A" attached to this Circular. Through regular review at quarterly meetings, the Board will continue to examine these issues in light of the Corporation's development in the mineral exploration business. In addition, and as required by Multilateral Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees ("MI 52-110"), the Corporation is required to set out detailed information concerning its Audit Committee in the Corporation's Annual Information Form which was dated August 28, 2009 (the "AIF") and as such information concerning the Audit Committee of the Corporation can be found on pages 39-41 of the AIF and the full text of the Audit Committee Charter is set out in Schedule "A" of the AIF.

- 17 -


The Board is currently composed of six (6) directors. One (1) of these directors is a member of Management and five (5) are outside directors who are unrelated as such term is described in the TSX Guidelines for Corporate Governance (the "Guidelines").

For the Corporation, the implementation of a detailed system to address every issue of corporate governance would be an undue strain on the resources and finances of a junior corporation. In order to address a wide range of issues of governance more effectively, the board has elected to undertake three (3) areas of activity through board discussion, consensus or through the partial assistance of the Board, as follows:

The tasks of appointing and assessing directors, and the assessment of the effectiveness of the Board, its committees and individual directors, are carried out by the full Board, rather than by appointed committees. New directors are given background materials and a review of the Corporation's development.

  (a)

The Board monitors Management on a regular basis. The annual budget is reviewed regularly by the Board and by the Audit Committee as a basis to assess performance and progress. This procedure is favoured over the use of formal mandates which would define limits to Management's responsibilities, or the use of procedures to approve the Chief Executive Officer's corporate objectives to ensure the Board can function independently of Management. However, the Board will consider, on an ongoing basis, issues concerning the independence of the Board from Management.

     
  (b)

The Board has not adopted a system that would enable an individual director to engage an advisor at the expense of the Corporation in appropriate circumstances. At this time, agreement by the Board to any such retainer, if at the expense of the Corporation, would be required.

The Board has appointed a Chairman who is other than the Chief Executive Officer.

The committees of the Board are comprised primarily of outside directors and function as set out below.

The Audit Committee meets as required to review the annual and quarterly financial statements, matters relating to the securities commissions, investments and transactions that could adversely affect the well-being of the Corporation and Management's recommendations regarding share issues of the Corporation. The Audit Committee also establishes and monitors procedures to reduce conflicts of interest and for reviewing audit and financial matters. Through meetings with external auditors and senior Management, the Audit Committee discusses, among other things, the effectiveness of the internal control procedures established for the Corporation. At all times, at least one (1) Audit Committee member possesses accounting or related financial expertise, while the remaining members are, at minimum, possessed of significant experience in analyzing the financial condition of corporations. The Board has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee which sets out the responsibilities of the Audit Committee and provides guidance to Audit Committee members as to their duties which charter is attached to the Corporation's AIF, as described above. The Audit Committee of the Corporation currently consists of three (3) members: D. Richard Brown, Harold Wolkin and Peter Born. Each of Mr. Brown, Mr. Wolkin and Dr. Born all qualify as independent directors and are financially literate as defined in MI 51-110.

The Compensation Committee reviews compensation practices and Management succession and approves the remuneration of the Corporation's senior executives, including the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also monitors the integrity of Management through periodic meetings with the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of three (3) directors: D. Richard Brown, Harold Wolkin and Dr. Michael Hitch. Each of Mr. Brown, Dr. Hitch and Mr. Wolkin qualify as independent directors as defined in MI 52-110.

Finally, although the Guidelines do not emphasize issues of environmental concern, the Board recognizes its responsibility to ensure that the Corporation's operations do not result in an adverse impact on the environment.

- 18 -


The Board remains committed to the ongoing development and improvement of the Corporation, its systems and in particular corporate governance. Shareholder feedback is encouraged at all times and commentary is always welcome. Shareholders are invited to address their comments to the attention of Chairman.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Corporation's 2004 stock option plan, as amended November 30, 2006 ("Option Plan"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule "B", was previously adopted by the directors, introduced to and approved by the Shareholders on March 26, 2004, ratified on November 8, 2005 and amended and approved by the Shareholders on November 30, 2006. Amendments to the Option Plan were approved by the Board effective October 30, 2009. Shareholder approval is required to ratify these amendments. Pursuant to the rules of the TSX, the Corporation is required to receive shareholder renewal approval of the Option Plan every three (3) years. Shareholders will therefore be asked at the Meeting to consider and, if thought advisable, to ratify and approve the Option Plan, as amended October 30, 2009.

The Corporation had 44,985,431 issued and outstanding Common Shares on October 23, 2009 and the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Option Plan is 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation, which as at October 23, 2009 was equal to 8,997,086 Common Shares.

As of October 23, 2009, there were 7,150,000 Options outstanding under the Option Plan, representing approximately 15.89% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Shares. Accordingly, as of October 23, 2009 there were 1,847,086 unallocated Options available for issuance under the Option Plan, representing approximately 4.11% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Description of the Option Plan

The purpose of the 2004 Plan is to assist the Corporation in attracting, retaining and motivating directors, officers and employees of the Corporation and to closely align the personal interests of such directors, officers and employees with the interests of the Corporation and its Shareholders.

The Board of Directors may grant stock options to eligible directors, employees and consultants of the Corporation (and, when applicable, companies wholly-owned by any such director or employee).

Under the Option Plan:

1.

options may be granted in such numbers and with such vesting provisions as the Board may determine, where stock options granted to consultants engaged to provide investor relations activities shall vest in stages over a period of twelve (12) months from the grant date of such stock options with no more than ¼ of any such stock options granted vesting in any three-month period;

   
2.

in accordance with TSX requirements, in no case will the grant of options under the Plan result in:


  (a)

the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options granted to insiders and their associates (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) at any time under all security based compensation arrangements exceeding ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common shares;

     
  (b)

the grant to insiders, within any twelve (12) month period, of stock options reserving for issuance a number of Common Shares exceeding in the aggregate ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation;

- 19 -



  (c)

the grant to any single individual within any twelve (12) month period, of stock options reserving for issuance a number of Common Shares of the Corporation exceeding in the aggregate five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation;

     
  (d)

the grant to any consultant engaged by the Corporation to provide investor relations activities, within any twelve-month period, of stock options reserving for issuance a number of Common Shares exceeding in the aggregate one percent (1%) of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Shares; or

     
  (e)

PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

The Corporation wishes to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") to be comprised of up to a total of 26,666,667 units (each a "Unit") in the capital of the Corporation, at a price per Unit equal to $0.075 (the "Offering Price"). Each Unit shall be comprised of one (1) common share in the capital of the Corporation and one (1) common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire a further common share of the Corporation at an exercise price equal to $0.12 until the second anniversary following the closing of the Private Placement. The Warrants will contain standard anti-dilution provisions which would result in an adjustment to the number or exercise price of the Warrants upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Corporation has entered into a unit purchase agreement dated October 16, 2009 (the "Centerpoint Agreement") with Centerpoint Resources, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia ("Centerpoint"). Pursuant to the Centerpoint Agreement, Centerpoint has agreed to subscribe for 20,000,000 Units under the Private Placement. Centerpoint does not currently own or exercise control over any common shares in the capital of the Corporation.

In addition to containing the representations and warranties standard in a transaction of this type, the Centerpoint Agreement also contains certain closing conditions in favour of Centerpoint. These closing condition include, among others, receipt of satisfactory title opinions in respect of the Corporation's properties located in Ontario and evidence of the receipt of all permits in respect of all of the Corporation's properties required for work to be completed on the properties. Centerpoint’s obligation to purchase the 20,000,000 Units is also subject to receipt by the Corporation of the required regulatory and shareholder approvals and satisfaction by the Corporation of the closing conditions (including those listed herein) on or before December 11, 2009. Centerpoint's acquisition of the 20,000,000 Units will result in its holding 44.46% (47.07% on a fully diluted basis) of the Corporation's issued and outstanding share capital on closing.

The details of the Private Placement are more particularly set out on the Terms of the Offering annexed hereto as Schedule "C".

As (i) the number of Common Shares to be issued or reserved for issuance pending completion of the Private Placement (being up to a maximum of 53,333,334 Common Shares or approximately 118.6% of the current issued share capital) exceeds 25% of the Corporation's currently issued and outstanding Common Shares; (ii) 20,000,000 of the Units subscribed for under the Private Placement will be issued to Centerpoint which will materially affect control of the Corporation; and (iii) the Offering Price is at a 29% discount to the market price on the date the Centerpoint Agreement was entered into which is greater than the 25% discount permitted under the terms of the TSX Company Manual, the Toronto Stock Exchange requires the Corporation to obtain the approval of its shareholders for the Private Placement.

Insiders of the Corporation will be permitted to participate in the Private Placement, but in no event will they be permitted to acquire more than 2,249,271 Units being the number of Units (on a fully diluted basis) which is equal to 10% of the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date hereof. Insider participation in the Private Placement will be as follows:

Board meetings held

The independent directors of the Board do not hold meetings at which non- independent directors and members of management are not in attendance. The Corporation holds quarterly meetings and other meetings as required, at which the opinion of the independent directors is sought and duly acted upon for all material matters related to the Corporation.

Chair of the Board

The Board has an independent director as the chair of the board. Michael Hitch chairs the meetings of the Board and actively seeks out the views of all directors on all Board matters.

Board meeting attendance

With the exception of Richard Brown and Ken Hight, who missed 1 and 2 meetings, respectively, the directors attended all Board meetings in fiscal 2009.

2. BOARD MANDATE

The Board assumes responsibility for stewardship of the corporation, including overseeing all of the operation of the business, supervising management and setting milestones for the Corporation. The Board reviews the statements of responsibilities for the Corporation including, but not limited to, the code of ethics and expectations for business conduct.

The Board approves all significant decisions that affect the Corporation and its subsidiaries and sets specific milestones towards which management directs their efforts.




The Board ensures, at least annually, that there are long-term goals and a strategic planning process in place for the Corporation and participates with Management directly or through its committees in developing and approving the mission of the business of the Corporation and the strategic plan by which it proposes to achieve its goals, which strategic plan takes into account, among other things, the opportunities and risks of the Corporation's business. The strategic planning process is carried out at each Board meeting where there are regularly reviewed specific milestones for the Corporation.

The strategic planning process incorporates identifying the main risks to the Corporation's objectives and ensuring that mitigation plans are in place to manage and minimize these risks. The Board also takes responsibility for identifying the principal risks of the Corporation's business and for ensuring these risks are effectively monitored and mitigated to the extent practicable. The Board appoints senior Management. As the Corporation has grown it has seen that Management has also grown, mitigating risk with respect to succession planning.

The Corporation adheres to all regulatory requirements with respect to the timeliness and content of its disclosure. The Board approves all of the Corporation's major communications, including annual and quarterly reports and press releases. The CEO or Chair (on behalf of the Board) authorizes the issuance of news releases. The CEO and the Chair are generally the only individuals authorized to communicate with analysts, the news media and investors about information concerning the Corporation.

The Board and the Audit Committee examine the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control processes and information systems.

The Board as a whole, given its small size, is involved in developing the Corporation's approach to corporate governance. The number of scheduled meetings of the Board varies with circumstances. In addition, special meetings are called as necessary. The Chair establishes the agenda at each Board meeting and submits a draft to each director for their review and recommendation for items for inclusion on the agenda. Each director has the ability to raise subjects that are not on the agenda at any meeting of the Board. Meeting agendas and other materials to be reviewed and/or discussed for action by the Board are distributed to directors in time for review prior to each meeting.

Board members have full and free access to senior Management and employees of the Corporation

3. POSITION DESCRIPTION

Chairman of the Board and Committee Chairs: role and responsibilities

The Board does not currently have a separate written description for the chair. The Board as a whole is responsible for and is continuing to develop recommendations for structures and procedures to clearly define the role and responsibilities of the Chair and the chair of each Board committee. The Chair of the Board is independent of Management and is responsible for leading the discussion and ensuring that the Board convenes as often as is required in order to meet the needs of the Corporation. In addition, the Chair also meets with the CEO on a regular basis to help with this function. The Audit Committee has a chair and a charter which charter provides structure and guidance with respect to the roles of the board, committee and the chair. In addition, the chair of the Audit Committee is independent of Management. The Compensation Committee does not have a written description for the chair. The Chair of the Compensation Committee is independent from Management and the Compensation Committee is currently reviewing documentation which would help to better delineate the roles of the members of the committee.

Office of the CEO: role and responsibilities

The Board and the CEO have not developed formal documented position description for the CEO. The Board is currently of the view that the respective corporate governance roles of the Board and Management, as represented by the CEO, are clear and that the limits to Management's responsibility and authority are well-defined. In order to monitor and ensure

- 2 -



that these roles are defined, the Chairman meets with the CEO and CFO on a regular basis to ensure that all matters requiring Board review and/or approval are brought before the Board and that Management is working within the bounds of their authority. As the Corporation is a junior mining corporation there are only two senior officer positions and as such the role of the CEO is broad but the Board believes that as a result of relevant corporate governance initiatives and the frequent meeting of the Chairman and the CEO, there is sufficient delineation.

4. ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION
New director orientation

The Corporation does not have a formal orientation and education program for new directors. However, new directors are provided with relevant materials with respect to the Corporation as well as being oriented on relevant corporate issues by senior management and legal counsel.

Continuing education of the board

The Board currently does not provide continuing education for its directors. By using a Board composed of experienced professionals with a wide range of financial, exploration and mining expertise, the Corporation ensures that the Board operates effectively and efficiently. Currently, the Board members have access to and actively consult with legal counsel to the Corporation on various matters with respect to their duties and obligations to the Corporation. The Board is currently working to implement formal policies on a number of corporate governance matters and upon implementation also plans to provide written information and orientation with respect to such policies to the Board members.

5. ETHICAL BUSINESS CONDUCT
Code of ethics

The Board has not adopted a written code of ethics and expectations for business conduct for the directors, officers and employees of the Corporation.

Handling non-arm’s length transactions

Directors with an interest in a material transaction are required to declare their interest and abstain from voting on such transactions. A thorough discussion of the documentation related to material transaction is required for review by the Board, particularly independent directors.

Culture of ethical conduct

The Board seeks directors who have solid track records in spheres ranging from financial to exploration and mining in order to ensure a culture of ethical business conduct.

6. NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS
Identifying nominees

All of the Corporation's directors are involved in the search for new directors.

Nominating committee

The Board does not have a nominating committee. A new director should have direct experience in the mining business and significant public company experience. The nominee must not have a significant conflicting public company association. Experienced mining directors are currently difficult to source as a result of the high level of activity in the mining sector.

Role and responsibilities of the nominating committee

The Board does not have a nominating committee at the present time.

7. COMPENSATION
Determining directors’ and officers’ compensation

The Board reviews the adequacy and form of compensation and compares it to other companies of similar size and stage of development. There is no minimum share ownership requirement of directors. Director's compensation is in the form of stock options. The Corporation's compensation committee reviews the amounts and effectiveness of stock option compensation.

Composition of the compensation committee

The Compensation Committee consists of three (3) directors: D. Richard Brown, Harold Wolkin and Michael Hitch. Messrs. Brown, Hitch and Wolkin are independent.

- 3 -



Roles and responsibilities of the compensation committee

The Compensation Committee convenes at least once annually to review director and officer compensation and status of stock options. The Compensation Committee also responds to requests from Management and the Board to review recommendations of Management for new senior employees and their compensation. The Compensation Committee has the power to approve and/or amend these recommendations.

Use of a compensation consultant or advisor

The Corporation has felt no need to retain any compensation consultants or advisors at any time since the beginning of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year.

8. OTHER BOARD COMMITTEES
Other board committees

The Corporation does not currently have any other committees.

9. ASSESSMENTS
Board and committee effectiveness

The Board does not, at present, have a formal process in place for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors. The Audit Committee, as part of their annual review, assesses the effectiveness of the Board and its independence. The Audit Committee assesses the adequacy of the information provided, the regular nature of the communication between the Board and Management and reviews whether Management is following the mandated strategic direction as set out in the Board's direction and Management milestones.

The Board assesses the CEO's effectiveness in attaining the Corporation's corporate objectives, budgets and milestones.

Management and directors communicate with shareholders on an ongoing basis, and shareholders are regularly consulted on the effectiveness of Board members and senior staff.

ARTICLE II
PURPOSE AND PARTICIPATION

2.1 Purpose. The purpose of this 2004 Plan is to provide the Corporation with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified Directors, Employees and Consultants, to reward such of those Directors, Employees and Consultants as may be granted Options under this 2004 Plan by the Board from time to time for their contributions toward the long term goals and success of the Corporation and to enable and encourage such Directors, Employees and Consultants to acquire Shares as long term investments and proprietary interests in the Corporation.

2.2 Participation. The Board will, from time to time and in its sole discretion, determine those Directors, Employees and Consultants (and, when applicable, to a Company wholly owned by any such Director or Employee), if any, to whom Options are to be granted. The Board may only grant options to an Employee or Consultant if such Employee or Consultant is a bona fide Employee or Consultant of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, as the case may be. The Board may, in its sole discretion, grant the majority of the Options to Insiders of the Corporation. However, in no case will the issuance of Shares upon the due exercise of Options granted under this 2004 Plan, or in any proposed or previously existing Share Compensation Arrangement, result in (in each case, as determined on the Grant Date):

  (a)

the number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options granted to Insiders at any time under all security based compensation arrangements exceeding 10% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Shares;

     
  (b)

the grant to Insiders, within any twelve-month period, of Options reserving for issuance a number of Shares exceeding in the aggregate 10% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Shares;

     
  (c)

the grant to any one individual, within any twelve-month period, Options reserving for issuance a number of Shares exceeding in the aggregate 5% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Shares;

     
  (d)

the grant to any Consultant engaged by the Corporation to provide investor relations activities, within any twelve-month period, of Options reserving for issuance a number of Shares exceeding in the aggregate 1% of the Corporation's outstanding number of listed securities;

     
  (e)

the grant to any one Consultant, in any twelve-month period, of Options reserving for issuance a number of Shares exceeding in the aggregate 2% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Shares.

2.3 Notification of Grant. Following the approval by the Board of the granting of an Option, the Administrator will notify the Option Holder in writing of the award and will enclose with such notice the Option Agreement representing the Option so granted.

2.4 Copy of Plan. Each Option Holder, concurrently with the notice of the award of the Option, will, upon written request, be provided with a copy of this 2004 Plan and a copy of any amendment to this 2004 Plan will be promptly provided by the Administrator to each Option Holder.

2.5 Limitation. This 2004 Plan does not give any Option Holder that is a Director the right to serve or continue to serve as a Director of the Corporation, does not give any Option Holder that is an Employee the right to be or to continue to be employed by the Corporation and does not give any Option Holder that is a Consultant the right to be or continue to be retained or engaged by the Corporation as a consultant for the Corporation.

2.6 Filing Requirements. Each Option Holder, as a pre-condition of any grant of Options under this 2004 Plan, shall execute and deliver to the Corporation all forms and documents required to be filed with any Regulatory Authority or under Securities Laws.

ARTICLE III
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

3.1 Board to Issue Shares. The Shares to be issued to Option Holders upon the exercise of Options will be previously authorized but unissued Shares in the capital stock of the Corporation.

3.2 Number of Shares Reserved. Subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 3.8 of this 2004 Plan and any subsequent amendment to this 2004 Plan, the number of Shares reserved for issuance and which will be available for purchase pursuant to Options granted under this 2004 Plan will not exceed that number (the "Limit") which represents 20% of the issued and outstanding Shares in the capital of the Corporation from time to time. If any Option expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Shares in respect of which Option expired or terminated, as the case may be, will again be available for the purposes of this 2004 Plan.

3.3 Term of Option. Subject to Section 3.4, the Expiry Date of an Option will be the date so fixed by the Board at the time the particular Option is granted, provided that such date will be no later than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Grant Date of such Option.

3.4 Termination of Option. Subject to such other terms or conditions that may be attached to Options granted hereunder, an Option Holder may exercise an Option in whole or in part at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period. Any Option or part thereof not exercised within the Exercise Period will terminate and become null, void and of no effect as of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Expiry Date. The Expiry Date of an Option will be the earlier of the date so fixed by the Board at the time the Option is granted and the date established, if applicable, in sub-sections (a) to (d) below:

  (a)

Death of Option Holder

     
 

In the event that the Option Holder should die while he or she is still a Director (if he or she holds his or her Option as a Director), an Employee (if he or she holds his or her Option as an Employee) or a Consultant (if he or she holds his or her Option as a Consultant), the Expiry Date will be the first anniversary of the Option Holder's date of death.

     
  (b)

Ceasing to Hold Office

     
 

In the event that the Option Holder holds his or her Option as a Director of the Corporation and such Option Holder ceases to be a Director of the Corporation other than by reason of death, the Expiry Date of the Option will not exceed the 90th day following the date the Option Holder ceases to be a Director of the Corporation unless the Option Holder ceases to be a Director of the Corporation as a result of:


  (i)

ceasing to meet the qualifications of a director set forth in section 118 of the OBCA; or

     
  (ii)

an ordinary resolution having been passed by the shareholders of the Corporation pursuant to subsection 122(1) of the OBCA; or

     
  (iii)

an order made by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction to so order,


 

in which case the Expiry Date will be the date the Option Holder ceases to be a Director of the Corporation.

     
  (c)

Ceasing to be an Employee or Consultant

     
 

In the event that the Option Holder holds his or her Option as an Employee or Consultant of the Corporation and such Option Holder ceases to be an Employee or Consultant of the Corporation other than by reason of death, the Expiry Date of the Option will not exceed the 30th day following the Termination Date unless the Option Holder ceases to be:



7

  (i)

an Employee of the Corporation as a result of termination for Cause; or

     
  (ii)

an Employee or Consultant of the Corporation as a result of an order made by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction to so order,


 

in which case the Expiry Date will be the Termination Date.

     
  (d)

Bankruptcy

     
 

In the event that an Option Holder commits an act of bankruptcy or any proceeding is commenced against the Option Holder under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or other applicable bankruptcy or insolvency legislation in force at the time of such bankruptcy or insolvency and such proceeding remains undismissed for a period of thirty (30) days, no Option held by such Option Holder may be exercised following the date on which such Option Holder commits such act of bankruptcy or such proceeding remains undismissed, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this 2004 Plan, in no case will an Option be exercisable after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Grant Date of the Option.

3.5 Exercise Price. The price at which an Option Holder may purchase a Share upon the exercise of an Option (the "Exercise Price") will be determined by the Board and set forth in the Option Agreement issued in respect of such Option and, in any event, will not be less than the Discounted Market Price . Notwithstanding anything else contained in this 2004 Plan, in no case will the Discounted Market Price be less than the minimum prescribed by each of the organized trading facilities as would apply to the Grant Date in question.

3.6 Additional Terms. Subject to all applicable Securities Laws of all applicable Regulatory Authorities, the Board may attach other terms and conditions to the grant of a particular Option, such terms and conditions to be referred to in the Option Agreement at the time of grant. These terms and conditions may include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

  (a)

providing that an Option expires on a date other than as provided for herein;

     
  (b)

providing that a portion or portions of an Option vest after certain periods of time or upon the occurrence of certain events, or expire after certain periods of time or upon the occurrence of certain events;

     
  (c)

providing that an Option be exercisable immediately, in full, notwithstanding that it has vesting provisions, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a friendly or hostile take-over bid for the Corporation; and

     
  (d)

providing that an Option issued to, held by or exercised by an Option Holder who is a citizen or resident of the United Sates of America, and otherwise meeting the statutory requirements, be treated as an "Incentive Stock Option" as that term is defined for purposes of the United States of America Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

3.7 Non-Transferability of Options. The Options are not assignable, transferable or negotiable (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and may not be assigned or transferred, provided however that the Personal Representative of an Option Holder may, to the extent permitted by Section 4.1 of this 2004 Plan, exercise the Option within the Exercise Period. Upon any attempt to assign, transfer, negotiate, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of or transfer an Option contrary to this Section 3.7 of this 2004 Plan, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon an Option, the Option and all rights, benefits and privileges arising thereunder or therefrom, at the sole discretion and election of the Corporation, shall cease and terminate and be of no further force or affect whatsoever.


8

3.8 Adjustments. If prior to the complete exercise of an Option the Shares are consolidated, subdivided, converted, exchanged or reclassified or in any way substituted for (collectively, a "Re-Organization Event"), an Option, to the extent that it has not been exercised, will be adjusted by the Board in accordance with such ReOrganization Event in the manner the Board deems appropriate, subject to the approval of the TSX, if required. No fractional Shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Options and accordingly, if as a result of the ReOrganization Event, an Option Holder would become entitled to a fractional Share, such Option Holder will have the right to purchase only the next lowest whole number of Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional interest so disregarded.

3.9 Vesting Requirement for Consultants engaged in investor relation activities. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Options granted to Consultants engaged to provide investor relations activities shall vest in stages over a period of 12 months from the Grant Date with no more than ¼ of any such Options granted vesting in any three-month period.

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

ARTICLE IV
EXERCISE OF OPTION

4.1 Exercise of Option. An Option may be exercised only by the Option Holder or the Personal Representative of the Option Holder. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, an Option Holder or the Personal Representative of an Option Holder may exercise an Option in whole or in part at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period up to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Expiry Date by delivering to the Administrator an Exercise Notice, the applicable Option Agreement and a certified cheque or bank draft payable to the Corporation in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option.

4.2 Issue of Share Certificates. As soon as practicable following the receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Administrator will cause to be delivered to the Option Holder a certificate for the Shares so purchased.

4.3 Condition of Issue. The Options and the issue of Shares by the Corporation pursuant to the exercise of Options are subject to the terms and conditions of this 2004 Plan and compliance with the rules and policies of all applicable Regulatory Authorities to the granting of such Options and to the issuance and distribution of such Shares, and to all applicable Securities Laws. The Option Holder agrees to comply with all such laws, regulations, rules and policies and agrees to furnish to the Corporation any information, reports or undertakings required to comply with and to fully cooperate with, the Corporation in complying with such laws, regulations, rules and policies.

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

3.1 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2 above, the Option may be exercised from time to time prior to the Expiry Time (as hereinafter defined) by delivery to the Corporation at its registered office of an executed Exercise Notice (attached to the Option Agreement as Exhibit "I") addressed to the President of the Corporation specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in full, by cash or certified cheque, of the purchase price of the Shares then being purchased. Subject to any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, certificates for such Shares shall be issued and delivered to the Optionee within a reasonable time following the receipt of such notice and payment.

3.2 Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement, the Corporation's obligation to issue Shares to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option shall be subject to: (i) receipt of any required shareholder approval; (ii) completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares or obtaining approval of such governmental or regulatory authority as the Corporation shall determine to be necessary or advisable in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale thereof; (iii) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange or market on which the Shares may then be listed; and (iv) the receipt from the Optionee of such representations, warranties, agreements and undertakings as the Corporation determines to be necessary or advisable in order to safeguard against the violation of the securities laws of any jurisdictions. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the Corporation to apply for or obtain any such registration, qualification, approval or listing. The Optionee hereby acknowledges and agrees that he has had access to such information as is necessary to enable him to evaluate the merits and risks of acquiring Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Option and that he is able to bear the economic risk of holding such Shares for an indefinite period.

4. No Assignment

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

5. Expiration

5.1 Subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, including the vesting conditions set out in Section 2 above and the termination provisions set out in Section 6 below, the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the Shares to the extent vested at any time or from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the close of business on (the "Expiry Time"). On the Expiry Time, the Option shall forthwith expire and terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever with respect to the unexercised balance of the Shares available under the Option, whether vested or not.

6. Termination of Employment; Death; Bankruptcy

6.1 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and this Section 6 and to any express resolution passed with respect to the Option by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") or by any committee of the Board established by the Board to administer the Plan (the "Committee"), the Option and all rights to purchase Shares pursuant thereto shall immediately expire, except to the extent vested in which case they shall expire and terminate on the [thirtieth (30th)] day following the date the Optionee ceases to be a ["Consultant" or "Employee" or "Director"] within the meaning of Section 1.1 of the Plan.


6.2 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and this Section 6, if the Optionee shall die prior to the full exercise of the Option, his personal representatives, heirs or legatees may, at any time within [one (1)] year after the date of such death, exercise the Option with respect to the unexercised balance of the Shares to the extent vested, subject to the terms of the Option but only to the same extent to which the Optionee could have exercised the Option immediately before the date of such death. In no event, however, shall the Option be exercisable after the Expiry Time.

6.3 In the event that the Optionee commits an act of bankruptcy or any proceeding is commenced against the Optionee under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or other applicable bankruptcy or insolvency legislation in force at the time of such bankruptcy and such proceeding remains undismissed for a period of [thirty (30)] days, the Option may not be exercised following the date on which the Optionee commits such act of bankruptcy or such proceeding remains undismissed, as the case may be.

7. Rights as a Shareholder

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

8. Inconsistency with Plan

8.1 The parties hereto agree that in the event this Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan the Plan shall prevail.

9. Certain Adjustments

9.1 In the event that the Shares are at any time changed or affected as a result of the declaration of a stock dividend thereon or their subdivision or consolidation, the number of Shares reserved for the Option shall be adjusted accordingly by the Board or the Committee to such extent as they deem proper in their discretion. In such event, the number of, and the price payable for, the Shares that are then subject to the Option may also be adjusted by the Board or the Committee to such extent, if any, as they deem proper in their discretion.

9.2 If at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the expiration of the term of the Option, the Shares shall be reclassified, reorganized or otherwise changed, otherwise than as specified in Section 8.1 of this Agreement or, subject to the provisions of subsection 9.1(a) of this Agreement, the Corporation shall consolidate, merge or amalgamate with or into another corporation (the corporation resulting or continuing from such consolidation, merger or amalgamation being herein called the "Successor Corporation"), the Optionee shall be entitled to receive upon the subsequent exercise of the Option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall accept in lieu of the number of Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon such exercise but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the aggregate number of shares of the appropriate class and/or other securities of the Corporation or the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) and/or other consideration from the Corporation or the Successor Corporation (as the case may be) that the Optionee would have been entitled to receive as a result of such reclassification, reorganization or other change or, subject to the provisions of subsection 9.1(a) of this Agreement, as a result of such consolidation, merger or amalgamation, if on the record date of such reclassification, reorganization or other change or the effective date of such consolidation, merger or amalgamation, as the case may be, he had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon such exercise.


10. Amendments to the Option

10.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(a)

in the event the Corporation proposes to amalgamate, merge or consolidate with any other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary) or to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up, or in the event an offer to purchase or repurchase the Shares or any part thereof shall be made to all or substantially all holders of the Shares, the Corporation shall have the right, upon written notice thereof to the Optionee, to permit the exercise of the Option within the [20 day] period next following the date of such notice and to determine that upon the expiration of such [20 day] period, all rights of the Optionee to the Option or to exercise same (to the extent not theretofore exercised) shall ipso facto terminate and cease to have further force or effect whatsoever;

   
(b)

in the event of the sale by the Corporation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety so that the Corporation shall cease to operate as an active business, the Option may be exercised as to all or any part of the Shares subject to the Option in respect of which the Optionee would have been entitled to exercise the Option in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement at the date of completion of any such sale at any time up to and including, but not after the earlier of: (i) the close of business on that date which is [thirty (30)] days following the date of completion of such sale; and (ii) the close of business on the expiration date of the Option; but the Optionee shall not be entitled to exercise the Option with respect to any other Shares; and

   
(c)

subject to the rules of any relevant stock exchange or other regulatory authority, the Board may, by resolution, advance the date on which any Option may be exercised or extend the expiration date of the Option.

   
(d)

The Optionee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Board may at any time by resolution terminate the Plan. In such event, the Option if vested and outstanding may be exercised by the Optionee for a period of [thirty (30)] days after the date on which the Corporation shall have notified the Optionee of the termination of the Plan, but only to the same extent as the Optionee could have exercised the Option immediately prior to the date of such notification.
