ANNEX I

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS

1. There are currently two Employee Stock Option Plans in effect for the Parent and its Subsidiaries, the 2001 Stock Option Plan and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

2. The 2001 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options to acquire common shares of the Parent to certain employees, directors and consultants of the Parent and its Subsidiaries and has been in effect since March 2001. As of June 30, 2010 there were options to acquire 906,629 common shares granted under the 2001 Stock Option Plan.

2. The 2001 Stock Option Plan provides that, unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee, one-quarter of the common shares that an option holder is entitled to purchase become eligible for purchase on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, and that options expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

3. No new options will be granted under the 2001 Stock Option Plan and all future equity awards will be granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. All existing options that have been previously granted under the 2001 Stock Option Plan will continue to be governed under that plan until exercise, termination or expiry.

4. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of options to acquire common shares of the Parent to certain employees, directors and consultants of the Parent and its Subsidiaries and has been in effect since on or about September 7, 2006. As of June 30, 2010 options to acquire 1,720,222 common shares were issued and outstanding under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides that, unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee, one-quarter of the common shares that an option holder is entitled to purchase become eligible for purchase on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, and that options expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan was amended on March 5, 2010 such that, unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee, any options granted after that date will vest as to one-sixteenth of the common shares that an option holder is entitled to purchase on the date which is three months after the date of grant and on each subsequent quarter, and that options expire on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides that in no event may an option remain exercisable beyond the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

4. The aggregate number of common shares that may be issued under the 2001 Stock Option Plan and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is 5,600,000 common shares provided that an additional number of common shares of up to three percent of the number of common shares then outstanding may be added to such initial maximum each year for three years in the discretion of the compensation committee. As of June 30, 2010 options to acquire 2,626,851 common shares were issued and outstanding under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2001 Stock Option Plan.
