Board members continuously since the beginning of such period, or

appointed or nominated for election as Board members during such period by at least a majority of the Board members described in subsection (A) above who were still in office at the time the Board approved such appointment or nomination.

Acceleration. Effective immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, any portion of the Option of the Grantee that is unvested will, to the extent determined by the Board in its sole discretion with respect to the Change of Control, become immediately vested and will be exercisable on and after the date of the Change of Control until the expiry of the Option.

Conditions to Exercise. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Award Agreement, the Company’s obligation to issue Common Shares to the Grantee upon exercise of the Option is subject to the following:

Qualification. Completion of registration or other qualification of the Common Shares or obtaining approval of such governmental authority as the Company determines is necessary or advisable in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of the Common Shares;

Listing. The admission of the Common Shares to listing or quotation on the Exchange; and

Undertakings. The receipt by the Company from the Grantee of such representations, agreements and undertakings, including as to future dealings in the Common Shares, as the Company or its counsel determines are necessary or advisable in order to safeguard against the violation of securities laws of any jurisdiction.

Adjustments. In the event that there is any material change in the Common Shares resulting from subdivisions, consolidations, substitutions or reclassifications of the Common Shares, the payment of stock dividends by the Company (other than dividends in the ordinary course) or other relevant changes in the capital of the Company or from a proposed merger, amalgamation or other corporate arrangement or reorganization involving the exchange or replacement of Common Shares for those in another corporation, appropriate adjustments in the number of Optioned Shares and the Option Exercise Price will be conclusively determined by the Committee.

Further Adjustments. Subject to Sections 6 and 8, if, because of a merger, amalgamation or other corporate arrangement or reorganization, the exchange or replacement of Common Shares for those in another corporation is imminent, the Board may, in a fair and equitable manner, determine the manner in which all unexercised or unvested options granted under this Option will be treated including, without limitation, requiring the acceleration of the time for the exercise and/or vesting of the option rights by the Grantee and of the time for the fulfilment of any conditions or restrictions on exercise or vesting. All determinations of the Board under this Section will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes subject to the approval of the Exchange, if applicable.

Tax. The Grantee is solely responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes arising from the grant, vesting, settlement or exercise of the Option and any payment is to be in a manner satisfactory to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will have the right to withhold from any amount payable to a Grantee, either under the Plan or otherwise, such amount as may be necessary to enable the Company to comply with the applicable requirements of any federal, provincial, state, local or foreign law, or any administrative policy of any applicable tax authority, relating to the withholding of tax or any other required deductions with respect to the Option (the “Withholding Obligations”). The Company may require the Grantee, as a condition to the exercise or settlement of the Option, to make such arrangements as the Company may require so that the Company can satisfy applicable Withholding Obligations, including, without limitation, requiring the Grantee to (i) remit the amount of any such Withholding Obligations to the Company in advance; (ii) reimburse the Company for any such Withholding Obligations; (iii) deliver written instructions contemplated in Section 4(b)(iii) hereof, to effect a net settlement of Common Shares under an Option in an amount required to satisfy any such Withholding Obligations; or (iv) pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) hereof, cause such broker to withhold from the proceeds realized from such transaction the amount required to satisfy any such Withholding Obligations and to remit such amount directly to the Company.

Black Out Periods. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Award Agreement and the grant of the Option to the Grantee is subject to the Grantee’s agreement to at all times comply with the Company’s policies with respect to black out periods, as more particularly set out in the Company’s Trading Policy, as amended from time to time.

No Rights as Shareholder. The Grantee will not have any rights as a Shareholder with respect to any of the Optioned Shares underlying the Option until such time as the Grantee becomes the record owner of such Optioned Shares.

No Effect on Employment. Nothing in the Award Agreement will:

Continue Employment. Confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of or under contract with the Company or any Affiliate or affect in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate his or her employment at any time.

Extend Employment. Be construed to constitute an agreement, or an expression of intent, on the part of the Company or any Affiliate to extend the employment of the Grantee beyond the time that he or she would normally be retired pursuant to the provisions of any present or future retirement plan or policy of the Company or any Affiliate, or beyond the time at which he or she would otherwise be retired pursuant to the provisions of any contract of employment with the Company or any Affiliate.

Enurement. The Award Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties to the Award Agreement and upon the successors or assigns of the Company and upon the executors, administrators and legal personal representatives of the Grantee.

Further Assurances. Each of the parties to the Award Agreement will do such further acts and execute such further documents as may required to give effect to and carry out the intent of the Award Agreement.

Non-Assignable. The Option is personal to the Grantee and may not be assigned or transferred in whole or in part, except by will or by the operation of the laws of devolution or distribution and descent.

Amendments. Any amendments to the Award Agreement must be in writing duly executed by the parties and will (if required) be subject to the approval of the applicable regulatory authorities.

Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Award Agreement.

Governing Law. The Award Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced according to the laws of the Province of British Columbia and is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia.

Interpretation of the Award Agreement and the Plan. If any question or dispute arises as to the interpretation of the Award Agreement, the question or dispute will be determined by the Committee and such determination will be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes on both the Company and the Grantee.

Conflict Between these General Terms and Conditions and the Plan. If there is any conflict between these General Terms and the Plan, the Plan, as amended from time to time, will govern.
