Stock–based Compensation Plan

     
   

In April, 2007, the Company adopted a stock option plan which provides for the granting of stock options to selected directors, officers, employees or consultants in an aggregate amount of up to 3,000,000 common shares of the Company and, in any case, the number of shares to be issued to any one individual pursuant to the exercise of options shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding share capital. The granting of stock options, exercise prices and terms are determined by the Company's Board of Directors. If no vesting schedule is specified by the Board of Directors on the grant of options, then the options shall vest over a 4 -year period with 25% of the granted options vesting each year commencing 1 year from the grant date. For stockholders who have greater than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company and who have granted options, the exercise price of their options shall not be less than 110% of the fair of the stock on grant date. Otherwise, options granted shall have an exercise price equal to their fair value on grant date.

     
   

On February 2, 2011, the Company amended and restated the 2007 stock option plan to increase the number of options authorized to 4,000,000.
