9.ADJUSTMENT OF AND CHANGES IN THE OPTION SHARES

(a)If the Option Shares, as presently constituted, are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another Company (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, amalgamation, recapitalization, reclassification, split, reverse split, combination of shares, or otherwise) or if the number of such Option Shares are increased through the payment of a stock dividend, then there shall be substituted for or added to each Option Share subject to or which may become subject to an Option under this Plan, the number and kind of shares or other securities into which each outstanding Option Share is so changed, or for which each such Option Share is exchanged, or to which each such Option Share is entitled, as the case may be. Outstanding Options under the Option Agreements shall also be appropriately amended as to price and other terms as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events. In the event that there is any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding Option Shares or of any shares or other securities into which such Option Shares are changed, or for which they have been exchanged, then, if the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in any Option theretofore granted or which may be granted under the Plan, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination. Subject to the requirements of an Exchange, any such amendment shall be effective upon receipt of Board approval of it, and the approval of any of the shareholders of the Company or any Optionee is not required to give effect to such amendment.

(b)Fractional shares resulting from any adjustment in Options pursuant to this Section 8 will be cancelled. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Company to each holder of an Option which has been so adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

10.PAYMENT

Subject as hereinafter provided, the full purchase price for each of the Option Shares shall be paid by cash, bank draft, certified cheque or electronic transfer of immediately available funds in favour of the Company upon exercise thereof. An Optionee shall have none of the rights of a shareholder in respect of the Option Shares until the Option Shares are issued to such Optionee as fully paid.

11.SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS

No Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part, nor shall the Company be obligated to issue any Option Shares pursuant to the exercise of any such Option, if such exercise and issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a breach of any applicable laws from time to time, or the rules from time to time of the Exchange. Each Option shall be subject to the further requirement that if at any time the Board determines that the listing or qualification of the Option Shares under any securities legislation or other applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or other regulatory body (including the Exchange), is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issue of the Option Shares hereunder, such Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.

12.AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN OR OPTIONS

(v)materially increasing the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan;

provided that if required by applicable securities regulation or law of any applicable governmental or regulatory body (including the applicable policies of an Exchange) the Board shall obtain within twelve (12) months either before or after the Board’s adoption of a resolution authorizing such amendment, suspension or termination, Shareholder Approval, and, where required, approval of Disinterested Shareholder Approval

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may amend the terms of the Plan to comply with the requirements of any applicable regulatory authority without obtaining Shareholder Approval, including:

(vi)amendments of a housekeeping nature to the Plan;

(vii)a change to the vesting provisions of a security or the Plan;

(viii)a change to the termination provisions of a security or the Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date;

(ix)the addition of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying securities from the Plan reserve.

(b)If required by any Exchange on which Common Shares or any Option Shares are at any time to be listed or quoted, to the extent that there are any Options which are outstanding and unexercised at the time of such application for such listing or quotation, the Option Price, the aggregate number of Option Shares, the exercise period, and any other relevant terms of such Options and the Option Agreements related thereto, shall be amended in accordance with the requirements of the applicable rules and policies of any Exchange on which such Common Shares or Option Shares are listed and quoted and any Exchange for which listing or quotation of such Common Shares or Option Shares has been applied for). Subject to the requirements of an Exchange, any such amendment shall be effective upon receipt of Board approval of it, and the approval of any shareholders of the Company or Optionee is not required to give effect to such amendment.

(c)The Board shall have the power, in the event of:

(i)any disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company, dissolution or any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company, with or into any other Company, or the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any other Company with or into the Company; or

but subject to applicable securities regulation or law of any applicable governmental or regulatory body (including the applicable rule and policies of an Exchange), to amend any outstanding Options to permit the exercise of all such Options prior to the effectiveness of any such transaction, and to terminate such Options as of such effectiveness in the case of transactions referred to in subsection (i) above, and as of the effectiveness of such tender offer or such later date as the Board may determine in the case of any transaction described in subsection (ii) above. If the Board exercises such power, all Options then outstanding and subject to such requirements shall be deemed to have been amended to permit the exercise thereof in whole or in part by the Optionee at any time or from time to time as determined by the Board prior to the effectiveness of such transaction, and such Options shall also be deemed to have terminated as provided above.
