3.3Eligibility
All Employee Participants, Director Participants, Executive Participants and Consultant Participants are eligible to participate in this Plan, subject to Sections 4.6(b) and 4.7(h).

The extent to which any Participant is entitled to be granted Options pursuant to this Plan will be determined in the discretion of the Plan Administrator.



3.4Total Common Shares Subject to Options
(a)The aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options, will be equal to 23,839,580. No Option may be granted if such grant would have the effect of causing the total number of Common Shares subject to Options to exceed the above-noted total number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of Options. In no event shall the total number of Common Shares issued (counting each reissuance of a Common Share that was previously issued and then forfeited or repurchased by the Corporation as a separate issuance) under the Plan upon exercise of ISOs exceed 47,679,160 Common Shares (adjusted in proportion to any adjustments under Sections 5.2 of this Plan) over the term of the Plan (the “ISO Limit”).

Except to the extent permitted by the Plan Administrator, no assignment or transfer of Options, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, vests any interest or right in such Options whatsoever in any assignee or transferee and immediately upon any assignment or transfer, or any attempt to make the same, such Options will terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Subject to any accelerated termination as set forth in this Plan, each Option, unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator, expires on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided that in no event will the Exercise Period of an Option exceed ten years from the Date of Grant.



4.4Exercise Period

The Corporation shall elect to renounce its right to claim the cash payment as a deductible expense for tax purposes.

Unless the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, otherwise determines, any terms of this Plan particular to a given Participant category shall apply to an Optionee who has changed Participant category based on the Participant category applicable to such Optionee at the moment the facts or actions giving rise to the application of such provision of the Plan occurred.

4.9Liquidity Event
Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan or any Option Agreement, the Plan Administrator may, in connection with a Liquidity Event, in its discretion, and without the consent of any Optionee:
(a)take such steps as are necessary or desirable to cause the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Options or Unvested Option Shares into or for options, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent value (or greater value), as



determined by the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, in any entity participating in or resulting from such Liquidity Event; and/or
(b)accelerate the vesting of any or all outstanding Options or Unvested Option Shares to provide that such outstanding Options or Unvested Option Shares will be fully vested (and with respect to Options, exercisable) contemporaneously with the completion of the transaction resulting in the Liquidity Event, provided that the Plan Administrator shall not, in any case, authorize the exercise of Options pursuant to this section beyond the expiry date of the Options. If any of such Options are not exercised contemporaneously with completion of the transaction resulting in the Liquidity Event, such unexercised Options will terminate and expire upon the completion of the transaction resulting in the Liquidity Event.

(d)arrange for the assumption of the Plan and all outstanding Options or Unvested Option Shares by the surviving or acquiring corporation or its parent;

The application of Sections 4.9(c) through 4.9(h) shall be subject to any written agreement between the Optionee and the Corporation that is approved by the Board.



4.10Option Agreement
Each Optionee must, at the time of exercise of an Option, sign and deliver an Option Agreement and, if directed by the Plan Administrator, a counterparty signature page to an ESOP Trust Agreement. Each Optionee acknowledges that the Option Agreement and ESOP Trust Agreement restricts transfers of the Option Shares. The Option Shares and share certificates representing the Option Shares acquired upon the exercise of Options shall, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement and/or deposited with an ESOP Trustee pursuant to the terms of an ESOP Trust Agreement. It being understood however, that the Plan Administrator shall have the authority to require the Escrow Agent to deposit any Option Shares held in escrow by them with an ESOP Trustee or vice versa.
4.11Conditions of Exercise
(a)Each Optionee shall, when requested by the Corporation, sign and deliver all such documents relating to the granting or exercise of Options which the Corporation deems necessary or desirable and which shall include, without limitation, (i) the Notice of Grant, (ii) the Exercise Notice, and (iii) the Option Agreement. Optionees that exercise Unvested Option Shares in connection with a Restricted Share Exercise must also sign and deliver a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.
(b)The exercise of any Option shall be subject to the condition that if at any time the Corporation shall determine in its sole discretion that it is necessary or desirable to comply with any legal requirement or the requirements of any Exchange or other regulatory authority as a condition of, or in connection with, such exercise or the issue of Option Shares as a result thereof, then in any such event such exercise shall not be effective unless such compliance shall have been effected on conditions satisfactory to the Corporation.
(c)The issuance of Option Shares upon the exercise of any Option shall be conditional upon the Participant becoming a party to any existing shareholders’ agreement, exchange rights agreements, ESOP Trust Agreement and/or any other agreement as may be required by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.
4.12Incentive Stock Options
The following provisions will apply, in addition to the other provisions of this Plan which are not inconsistent therewith, to Options that are specifically intended (as evidenced in the relevant Option Agreement) to qualify as incentive stock options (for the purposes of this Section 4.12, “ISOs”) under Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code, I.R.C. (for the purposes of this Section 4.12, the “Code”):
(a)the maximum number of shares subject to ISOs that may be granted is equal to the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan;



(b)Options may be granted as ISOs only to individuals who are employees of the Corporation or any present or future “subsidiary corporation” or “parent corporation” as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code (for the purposes of this Section 4.12, collectively, “Related Corporations”) and Options shall not be granted to non- employee Directors or independent contractors;
(c)for purposes of Section 4.6, “Disability” means “permanent and total disability” as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code;
(d)if an Optionee ceases to be employed by the Corporation and/or all Related Corporations other than by reason of death or Disability, Options will be eligible for treatment as ISOs only if exercised no later than three (3) months following such termination of employment;
(e)the Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per Common Share and the Exercise Price in respect of Options granted as ISOs to employees who own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of shares in the capital of the Corporation or a Related Corporation (for the purposes of this Section 4.12, a “10% Stockholder”) will be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Common Share on the Date of Grant and the term of any ISO granted to a 10% Stockholder will not exceed five years measured from the Date of Grant;
(f)Options held by an Optionee will be eligible for treatment as ISOs only if the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Date of Grant) of the Common Shares with respect to which such Options and all other options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code held by such individual and granted under the Plan or any other plan of a Related Corporation and which are exercisable for the first time by such individual during any one calendar year does not exceed US$100,000. For purposes of this Section 4.12(f), ISOs will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and calculation will be performed in accordance with Section 422 of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder;
(g)by accepting an Option granted as an ISO under the Plan, each Optionee agrees to notify the Corporation in writing immediately after such Optionee makes a “Disqualifying Disposition” of any share acquired pursuant to the exercise of such ISO; for this purpose, a Disqualifying Disposition is any disposition occurring on or before the later of (a) the date two years following the date the ISO was granted or (b) the date one year following the date the ISO was exercised;
(h)no modification of an outstanding Option that would provide an additional benefit to an Optionee, including to a reduction of the Exercise Price or extension of the exercise period, shall be made without consideration and disclosure of the likely



United States federal income tax consequences to the Participants affected thereby; and
(i)ISOs will be neither transferable nor assignable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by such Optionee.
4.13Section 409A.
With respect to any Options granted to U.S. taxpayers:
(a)participants shall be limited to employees or contractors providing services to the Corporation or to an affiliate which is an “eligible issuer”, as defined in final Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(iii) (this includes corporate subsidiaries in which the Corporation has a controlling interest);
(b)no extension of an Option Term shall extend beyond the latest date that the right could have expired by its original terms. However, an extension to no more than 30 days following a blackout to comply with applicable law is not an extension for purposes of this provision; and
(c)any replacement options issued under the Plan shall comply with U.S. Treas. Reg. 1.424-1 as if the Option were an incentive stock option (ISO) so that the ratio of the exercise price to the fair market value of shares subject to the options immediately after the replacement may not be greater than the ratio of the exercise price to the fair market value of shares subject to the options immediately before the replacement.
ARTICLE 5
SHARE CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS
5.1General
The existence of any Options or Unvested Option Shares does not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its shareholders to make, authorize or determine any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or any other change in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation involving the Corporation, to create or issue any bonds, debentures, shares or other securities of the Corporation or to determine the rights and conditions attaching thereto, to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or to effect any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise, whether or not any such action referred to in this section would have an adverse effect on this Plan or any Option granted hereunder or any Unvested Option Shares.



5.2Reorganization of Corporation’s Capital and Other Events Affecting the Corporation
In the event that any dividend (whether in the form of cash, Common Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split- up, spin-off, repurchase, subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange of Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation affecting Common Shares occurs, then in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan (a) the number, type and class of shares reserved for issuance under this Plan and (b) the Exercise Prices, number, type and class of shares subject to outstanding Options or covered by Unvested Option Shares will (to the extent appropriate) be proportionately and equitably adjusted by the Plan Administrator, subject to any required action by the Board or the shareholders of the Corporation and compliance with applicable securities laws, including, if applicable, Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code to the extent the Corporation is relying upon the exemption afforded thereby with respect to the Options or Unvested Option Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Options granted prior to the Series D Restatement Date, the type and class of shares that are subject to such Options may not be adjusted to the extent such adjustment would have an adverse effect with respect to such Options, unless the applicable Optionee provides written consent.
5.3Immediate Exercise of Options
Where the Plan Administrator determines, in its discretion, that the steps provided in Sections 5.2 would not preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Optionees in the circumstances or otherwise determines, in its discretion, that it is appropriate, the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of any outstanding Options or Unvested Option Shares.
5.4Issue by Corporation of Additional Shares
Except as expressly provided in this Article 5, neither the issue by the Corporation of shares of any class or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, nor the conversion or exchange of such shares or securities, affects, and no adjustment by reason thereof is to be made with respect to: (a) the number of Common Shares that may be acquired on the exercise of any outstanding Options; or (b) the Exercise Price of any outstanding Options.
5.5Fractions
No fractional Common Shares will be issued on the exercise of an Option. Accordingly, if, as a result of any adjustment under Sections 5.2, an Optionee would become entitled to a fractional Common Share, the Optionee has the right to acquire only the adjusted number of full Common Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Common Shares so disregarded.



5.6Conditions of Exercise
The Plan and each Option are subject to the requirement that if at any time the Plan Administrator determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Common Shares subject to such Option upon any securities exchange or under any provincial, state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, securities exchange or of the holders of the Common Shares generally, is necessary or desirable, as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option or the issue or purchase of Common Shares thereunder, no such Option may be granted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Plan Administrator, in its discretion. The Optionees shall, to the extent applicable, cooperate with the Corporation in relation to such listing, registration, qualification, consent or other approval and shall have no claim or cause of action against the Corporation or any of its officers or directors as a result of any failure by the Corporation to obtain or to take any steps to obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.
ARTICLE 6
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
6.1Legal Requirement
The Corporation is not obligated to grant any Options, issue any Common Shares or other securities, make any payments or take any other action if, in the opinion of the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, such action would constitute a violation by an Optionee or the Corporation of any provision of any applicable statutory or regulatory enactment of any government or government agency.
6.2Optionee’s Entitlement
Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Options previously granted under this Plan, whether or not then exercisable, are not affected by any change in the relationship between, or ownership of, the Corporation and a Related Entity. For greater certainty, all Options remain valid and exercisable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and are not affected by reason only that, at any time, a Related Entity ceases to be a Related Entity.
6.3Withholding Taxes
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in connection with the exercise of an Option by an Optionee from time to time, as a condition to such exercise (i) the Corporation shall require such Optionee to pay to the Corporation an amount as necessary so as to ensure that the Corporation is in compliance with the applicable provisions of any federal, provincial or local law relating to the withholding of tax or other required deductions (the “Applicable Withholdings and Deductions”) relating to the exercise of such Options; or (ii) in the event an Optionee does not pay the amount specified in (i) the Corporation shall be permitted to engage a broker or other agent, at the risk and expense of the Optionee, to sell an amount of underlying



Common Shares issuable on the exercise of such Option and to apply the cash received on the sale of such underlying Common Shares as necessary so as to ensure that the Corporation is in compliance with the Applicable Withholdings and Deductions relating to the exercise of such Options. In addition, the Corporation shall be entitled to withhold from any amount payable to an Optionee, either under this Plan or otherwise, such amount as may be necessary so as to ensure that the Corporation is in compliance with Applicable Withholdings and Deductions relating to the exercise of such Options or enter into any other suitable arrangements for the receipt of such amount.
Notwithstanding the first paragraph of this Section 6.3, where the Plan Administrator has granted the Optionee the right to cause the Corporation to accept the surrender of the vested Options held by the Optionee in consideration for a cash payment under section 4.5(c) and the Optionee directs the Corporation in writing that such cash payment be made directly to the Optionee’s registered retirement savings plan in circumstances to which subsection 100(3) of the regulations made under the Income Tax Act (Canada) apply, the Corporation may transfer the cash payment to the Optionee’s registered retirement savings plan without making the Applicable Withholdings and Deductions relating to the surrender of the vested Options.
6.4Rights of Participant/Optionee
No Participant has any claim or right to be granted an Option (including an Option granted in substitution for any Option that has expired pursuant to the terms of this Plan), and the granting of any Option is not to be construed as giving an Optionee a right to remain in the employ of the Corporation or a Related Entity. No Optionee has any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of Common Shares issuable on the exercise of rights to acquire Common Shares under any Option until the allotment and issuance to the Optionee of certificates representing such Common Shares.
6.5Term of Plan and Termination
Subject to Section 6.11 of this Plan, this Plan will become effective as of the Series D Restatement Date. Subject to any shareholders agreement of the Corporation, the Board may terminate this Plan at any time without shareholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the discretion of the Plan Administrator, the termination of this Plan shall have no effect on outstanding Options or Unvested Option Shares, which shall continue in effect in accordance with their terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of this Plan. Unless sooner terminated, this Plan will continue in effect for a term of 10 years from the later of (a) the earlier of the Series D Restatement Date or the date of shareholder approval of the Plan, or (b) the earlier of the most recent Board or shareholder approval of an increase in the number of Company Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.
6.6Indemnification
Every Director will at all times be indemnified and saved harmless by the Corporation from and against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever, including any income tax liability arising from any such indemnification, that such Director may sustain or incur by reason of any action,



suit or proceeding, taken or threatened against the Director, otherwise than by the Corporation, for or in respect of any act done or omitted by the Director in respect of this Plan, such costs, charges and expenses to include any amount paid to settle such action, suit or proceeding or in satisfaction of any judgement rendered therein.
6.7Participation in this Plan
The participation of any Participant in this Plan is entirely voluntary and not obligatory and shall not be interpreted as conferring upon such Participant any rights or privileges other than those rights and privileges expressly provided in this Plan. In particular, participation in this Plan does not constitute a condition of employment or service nor a commitment on the part of the Corporation to ensure the continued employment or service of such Participant. The Plan does not provide any guarantee against any loss which may result from fluctuations in the market value of the Common Shares. The Corporation does not assume responsibility for the personal income or other tax consequences for the Participants and they are advised to consult with their own tax advisors.
6.8Amendments
Subject to any shareholders agreement of the Corporation, the Board may,
(a)without notice, at any time or from time to time, amend this Plan or any provisions hereof in such respects as it, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate; provided that no such amendment shall have any adverse effect with respect to any Options or Unvested Option Shares outstanding as at the date of such amendment without the prior consent of the applicable Optionee(s); and
(b)subject to any required regulatory approval, at its discretion from time to time retrospectively amend the Plan and, in the event of an amendment that is adverse to the interests of the affected Optionee, with the consent of the affected Optionee, retrospectively amend the terms and conditions of any Options which have been theretofore granted or any Unvested Option Shares issued upon the Restricted Share Exercise of such Options.
6.9Corporate Action
Nothing contained in this Plan or in an Option shall be construed so as to prevent the Corporation from taking corporate action which is deemed by the Corporation to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on this Plan or any Option or Unvested Option Shares, including, with respect to an Option previously granted or any Unvested Option Shares issued upon the Restricted Share Exercise of such Options, any adjustments to the Exercise Price, Exercise Period or number of Option Shares, provided that any such adjustment is required by any securities exchange or applicable securities laws.

More particularly, I hareby agree to surrender all of my rights under the Option relating to the Common Shares described in element “X” below in consideration for the number of shares, rounded down to the nearest whole share, given by the formula: N = X*((A-B)/A), where:
“N” =  the number of vested Common Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) to be issued upon Net Exercise of the Option;
“X” =  the total number of Common Shares with respect to which I have elected to exercise the Option;
“A” =  the Fair Market Value of one (1) Common Share determined in accordance with the Stock Option Plan;
“B” =  the Exercise Price per Common Share (as stipulated in my Notice of Grant); and
All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Corporation’s Stock Option Plan.
The undersigned agrees to waive any right to receive all of the Common Shares of the Corporation underlying the Option. Following the net settlement of the Common Shares as provided above, the undersigned authorizes the Corporation to issue a lesser number of Common Shares issuable to me in respect of the Option by that number of whole Common Shares consistent with the methodology set forth above.
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Option, to the extent Net Exercised, is a non- statutory option and subject to, federal, state, provincial, employment, and any other applicable tax withholding requirements. I further agree and acknowledge my sole responsibility for any tax withholding obligations arising from the exercise of this Option.

EXHIBIT A
ILLUSTRATION OF NET EXERCISE
For illustrative purposes only, the following is an example of how the Net Exercise will be calculated. These numbers are for illustration only and are not meant to be indicative of any prices actually in effect.
The Optionee holds an option to purchase 100 Common Shares. The current Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the exercise date is $10/Common Share, and the Exercise Price per Common Share is $1/Common Share.
“X” = 100
“A” = $10
“B” = $1
N = 100*((10-1)/10) = 90 Common Shares
In this example, following the Net Exercise, Optionee will hold 90 Common Shares.

9.1.4Legends. If the Corporation chooses to deliver certificates to evidence the Common Shares purchased under this Option Agreement by a Holder who is a United States resident in an unregistered transaction, all such certificates shall also bear the legend set forth in Section 5 as well as the following legend (and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any applicable law):
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL (A) REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, OR (B) IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO BILLPOINT, SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.”
9.1.5Removal of Legends. If, in the opinion of the Corporation and its counsel, any legend placed on a share certificate representing Common Shares sold under this Option Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such
10


certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Common Shares but without such legend.
9.1.6Administration. Any determination by the Corporation and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 9 shall be conclusive and binding on the Holder and all other persons.
9.2The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation makes no representation about the applicability of “Section 409A” to this Option Agreement and the Holder covenants and agrees that the Corporation shall have no liability to the Holder in the event that Section 409A applies to this Option Agreement. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that he is solely responsible for all U.S. tax obligations arising in relation to this Option Agreement.
In the event that any non-qualified deferred compensation (as determined under Section 409A) is payable upon the Holder’s Separation from Service under this Option Agreement, or any other plan in which the Holder participates, then notwithstanding anything else in the applicable agreement or plan, if the Holder is a Specified Employee, no amount shall be payable prior to the six months from the date that the Holder experiences a Separation from Service.
For the purposes of this Section 9.2, “Separation from Service” shall have the meaning given thereto under Section 409A and the regulations and authority thereunder; and “Specified Employee” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 409A and the regulations and authority thereunder and shall be determined in accordance with the Corporation’s regular process for the identification of “Specified Employees”.
10.Governing Law. This Option Agreement will be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the province of Québec and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
11.Severability. Each provision of this Option Agreement constitutes a distinct covenant, such that any decision of a court or tribunal to the effect that any of the provisions of this Option Agreement is null or unenforceable shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.
