(f)
an adjustment will take effect at the time of the event giving rise to the adjustment, and the adjustments provided for in this section are cumulative;
4.11
Change of Control
(a)
If after the occurrence of a Change of Control an Optionholder’s employment is terminated by the Corporation or a Subsidiary without Cause, including a constructive dismissal, or an Optionholder’s contract as a Consultant is terminated by the Corporation

 
 
 
 


- 15 -

or a Subsidiary before its normal termination date without Cause, the Optionholder may exercise the Option, notwithstanding section 4.4(a), as to any of the Optioned Shares in respect of which the Option has not been exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Options granted prior to February 28, 2012, on the occurrence of a Change of Control, an Optionholder may exercise the Option, notwithstanding section 4.4(a), as to any of the Optioned Shares in respect of which the Option has not been exercised.
(b)
If a “take-over bid” (within the meaning of applicable securities legislation) made by any person for the voting securities of the Corporation would, if successful, result in a Change of Control, then:
(i)
the Corporation will promptly notify the Optionholder of the take-over bid and the rights of the Optionholder under this section;
(ii)
the Optionholder may exercise the Option, notwithstanding section 4.4(a), as to any of the Optioned Shares in respect of which the Option has not been exercised, during the period ending on the earlier of the expiration of the take-over bid and the Expiry Date;
(iii)
exercise of the Option shall only be for the purpose of depositing the Optioned Shares pursuant to the take-over bid;
(iv)
the Optionholder may elect cashless exercise pursuant to section 5.3, which will apply with the necessary changes; and
(v)
if the Optioned Shares are not deposited by the Optionholder pursuant to the take-over bid or, if deposited, are subsequently withdrawn by the Optionholder or not all taken up and paid for by the offeror, then the Optionholder shall promptly return the Optioned Shares (or the portion that are not taken up and paid for) to the Corporation for cancellation, the Option respecting such Optioned Shares shall be deemed not to have been exercised, the Optioned Shares shall be deemed not to have been issued and the Corporation shall refund to the Optionholder the aggregate Exercise Price for the Optioned Shares (unless the Optionholder elected cashless exercise).
ARTICLE 5 -    
EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
5.1
Manner of Exercise
An Optionholder who wishes to exercise an Option may do so by delivering the following to the Corporation on or before the Expiry Date of the Option:
(a)
a completed Notice of Exercise; and
(b)
subject to section 5.3, a cheque (which need not be a certified cheque) or bank draft payable to the Corporation for the aggregate Exercise Price of the Optioned Shares being acquired.
If the Optionholder is deceased or mentally disabled, the Option may be exercised by a legal representative of the Optionholder or the Optionholder’s estate or by a person who acquires the Optionholder’s rights under the Option by bequest or inheritance and who, in addition to

 
 
 
 


- 16 -

delivering to the Corporation the Notice of Exercise and (if applicable) cheque or bank draft described above, must also deliver to the Corporation evidence of their status.
5.2
Delivery of Share Certificate
Not later than five business days after receipt by the Corporation pursuant to section 5.1 of the Notice of Exercise and payment in full for the Optioned Shares being acquired, the Corporation will direct its registrar and transfer agent to issue a certificate in the name of the Optionholder or an intermediary on behalf of the Optionholder (or, if deceased, his or her legal representative or beneficiary) for the number of Optioned Shares purchased by the Optionholder (or his or her legal representative or beneficiary), which will be issued as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares.
5.3
Cashless Exercise
An Optionholder may elect “cashless” exercise in a Notice of Exercise if the Common Shares issuable on exercise of an Option are to be immediately sold. In such case, the Optionholder will not be required to deliver to the Corporation the cheque or bank draft referred to in section 5.1. Instead, the following procedure will be followed, as detailed in a Cashless Exercise Instruction Form to be provided by the Corporation and completed by the Optionholder:
(a)
the Optionholder will instruct a broker selected by the Optionholder to sell through the Toronto Stock Exchange, if the Option is granted in Canadian dollars, or through the New York Stock Exchange, if the Option is granted in United States dollars, the Common Shares issuable on exercise of an Option, as soon as possible and at the then applicable bid price for the Common Shares of the Corporation;
(b)
on the settlement date for the trade, the Corporation will direct its registrar and transfer agent to issue a certificate in the name of the broker (or as the broker may otherwise direct) for the number of Common Shares issued on exercise of the Option, against payment by the broker to the Corporation of the Exercise Price for such Common Shares; and
(c)
the broker will deliver to the Optionholder the remaining proceeds of sale, net of brokerage commission.
5.4    Net Stock Settlement
(a)
Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator at the Grant Date for an Option, an Optionholder shall be entitled to settle an Option in Common Shares, or a combination of Common Shares and cash, on a net basis calculated and in such form as provided in (c) and (d) below.
(b)
Settlement of Options in such form may occur only if and to the extent the Option related thereto is then exercisable and if the Optionholder exercises such entitlement in accordance with such procedures as may be established by the Administrator.
(c)
Upon exercise thereof and subject to payment or other satisfaction of all related withholding obligations in accordance with section 5.5 hereof, Options may be settled under this section by delivery of the greatest number of Common Shares having an aggregate Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the following amount:

 
 
 
 


- 17 -

the product of
(A)    the excess of the Market Value of a Common Share on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price for a Common Share under the applicable Option,
multiplied by
(B)    the number of Common Shares covered by the Option so settled.
For this purpose, Market Value means the closing price per Common Share of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange, if the Option is granted in Canadian Dollars, or on the New York Stock Exchange if the Option is granted in United States dollars, on the trading day preceding the date of exercise.
(d)
In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator at the Grant Date, the Optionholder may elect to receive a combination of cash and Common Shares where the aggregate Market Value of the Common Shares and the amount of cash is equal in total to the aggregate amount determined as set forth in (c) above, the amount of cash being that which is determined by the Corporation to satisfy withholding obligations under section 5.5. In the event of such an election, such cash amount shall be used to satisfy the Optionholder’s obligations under section 5.5.
(e)
On settlement of an Option in accordance with this section, the Option shall be cancelled and the Optionholder shall have no further rights thereunder.
5.1
Withholding
If the Corporation determines that the satisfaction of taxes, including withholding tax, or other withholding liabilities is necessary or desirable in respect of the exercise of any Option, the exercise of the Option is not effective unless such taxes have been paid or withholdings made to the satisfaction of the Corporation. The Corporation may require an Optionholder to pay to the Corporation, in addition to the Exercise Price for the Optioned Shares, any amount as the Corporation is obliged to remit to the relevant taxing authority in respect of the exercise of the Option. Any such additional payment is due no later than the date on which any amount with respect to the Option exercised is required to be included in the gross income of the Optionholder for tax purposes.
