PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be held on July 28, 2016

THE ANNUAL MEETING

General

This proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") of Uranium Energy Corp. ("we", "us", "our" or the "Company") for use in connection with our annual meeting of our stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on July 28, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. (Vancouver time), at Suite 1500, 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4N7, or at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

In accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each stockholder of record, we may furnish proxy materials to our stockholders on the Internet. On or about June 15, 2016, the Company mailed to all stockholders of record, as of May 31, 2016 (the "Record Date"), a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice"). If you received only a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials.

Please carefully review the Notice for information on how to access our proxy materials, consisting of the Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement and Proxy Card, available at www.proxyvote.com. You may also access our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended July 31, 2015, including our financial statements for such period. However, our Annual Report on Form 10-K does not constitute any part of the material for the solicitation of proxies.

The Notice also includes instructions as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet or over the telephone.

If you received only a Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, including a Proxy Card, or a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice. There is no charge to you for requesting a paper copy of these documents.

Our principal offices are located at 500 North Shoreline Boulevard, Suite 800N, Corpus Christi, Texas, U.S.A., 78401, and at Suite 1830, 1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2Y3.

Manner of Solicitation and Expenses

This proxy solicitation is made on behalf of our Board of Directors. Solicitation of proxies may be made by our directors, officers and employees personally, by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, internet or otherwise, but they will not be specifically compensated for these services. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. Upon request, we will also reimburse brokers, dealers, banks or similar entities acting as nominees for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of our common stock as of the Record Date.

Record Date and Voting Shares

Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on May 31, 2016, as the Record Date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date there were 116,329,540shares of our common stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting for each share of common stock held of record as of the Record Date. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Quorum

A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting of our stockholders. The required quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting is one-third of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the Record Date.

In order to be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Annual Meeting, shares must be present at the Annual Meeting either in person or represented by proxy. Shares that will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists will include:

• shares represented by properly executed proxies for which voting instructions have been given, including proxies which are marked "Abstain" or "Withhold" for any matter;
• shares represented by properly executed proxies for which no voting instruction has been given; and
• broker non-votes.

Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote such shares.

Entitlement to Vote

If you are a registered holder of shares of our common stock as of May 31, 2016, the Record Date for the Annual Meeting, you may vote those shares of our common stock in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy in the manner described below under "Voting of Proxies". If you hold shares of our common stock in "street name" through a broker or other financial institution, you must follow the instructions provided by your broker or other financial institution regarding how to instruct your broker or financial institution in respect of voting your shares.

- 2 -

Voting of Proxies

You can vote the shares that you own of record on the Record Date by either attending the Annual Meeting in person or by filling out and sending in a proxy in respect of the shares that you own. Your execution of a proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote in person. You may also submit your proxy on the Internet or over the telephone by following the instructions contained in the Notice.

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by:

(a)       filing a written notice of revocation of proxy with our Corporate Secretary at any time before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting;

(b)       executing a later-dated proxy and delivering it to our Corporate Secretary at any time before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting; or

(c)       attending at the Annual Meeting, giving affirmative notice that you intend to revoke your proxy and voting in person. Please note that your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, in and of itself, revoke your proxy.

All shares of common stock represented by properly executed proxies received at or prior to the Annual Meeting that have not been revoked will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder who has executed the proxy. If no choice is specified in a proxy, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted FOR all matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting as set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. The shares represented by proxy will also be voted for or against such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy as proxyholders. We are currently not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting other than those described herein.

Any written revocation of a proxy or subsequent later-dated proxy should be delivered to the Company at 500 North Shoreline Boulevard, Suite 800N, Corpus Christi, Texas, U.S.A., 78401, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Votes Required

Proposal One - Election of Directors: The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of our shares of common stock represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy is required for the election of our directors. This means that the nominees who receive the greatest number of votes for each open seat will be elected. Votes may be cast in favor of the election of directors or withheld. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will be counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the election of directors.

Proposal Two - Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accountants: The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy is required for the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accountants. Stockholders may vote in favor or against the Proposal or they may abstain. Abstentions are deemed to be "votes cast" and will have the same effect as a vote against this Proposal.

Proposal Three - Approval of 2016 Stock Incentive Plan: The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy is required for the approval of the Company's 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. Stockholders may vote in favor or against the Proposal or they may abstain. Abstentions are deemed to be "votes cast" and will have the same effect as a vote against this Proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed to be votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the vote with respect to this Proposal.

- 3 -

Proposal Four - Executive Compensation: The vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (commonly known as a "say-on-pay" vote) is advisory and, therefore, not binding on the Company, our Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy is required for the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation. Stockholders may vote in favor or against the Proposal or they may abstain. Abstentions are deemed to be "votes cast" and will have the same effect as a vote against this Proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed to be votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the vote with respect to this Proposal.

Stockholder Proposals

No proposals have been received from any stockholder for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

Other Matters

It is not expected that any matters other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly presented, however, the persons named as proxyholders will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters. The grant of a proxy also will confer discretionary authority on the persons named as proxyholders to vote in accordance with their best judgment on matters incidental to the conduct of the Annual Meeting.

No Rights of Appraisal

There are no rights of appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to the matters that are the subject of this proxy solicitation under the laws of the State of Nevada, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

None of the following persons has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, other than elections to office and as named executive officers in respect of whose compensation the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation will be held:

• each person who has been one of our directors or executive officers at any time since the beginning of our last fiscal year;
• each nominee for election as one of our directors; or
• any associate of any of the foregoing persons.

- 4 -

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 10, 2016, by:

• each person who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our shares of common stock; and
• each executive officer, each director and all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The number of shares beneficially owned and the related percentages are based on 116,433,696 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 10, 2016.

For the purposes of the information provided below, shares that may be issued upon the exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants and other rights to acquire shares of our common stock that are exercisable or convertible within 60 days following June 10, 2016, are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the holder for the purpose of computing the number of shares and percentage ownership of that holder, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Name and Address of Beneficial Owner (1)	Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership (1)	Percentage of Beneficial Ownership

Amir Adnani 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 1830 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2Y3	3,889,715 (2)	3.3%

Notes:

*         Less than one percent.

(1)       Under Rule 13d-3 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of such security; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. Certain shares of common stock may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares of common stock are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of a stock option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares of common stock outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of common stock of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding as of the date of this Proxy Statement. As of June 10, 2016, there were 116,433,696 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding.

(2)       This figure represents (i) 2,007,081 shares of common stock, (ii) 3,000 shares of common stock held of record by Mr. Adnani's wife and (iii) stock options to purchase 1,889,634 shares of our common stock.

(3)       This figure represents (i) 8,500 shares of common stock and (ii) stock options to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock.

(4)       This figure represents (i) 19,900 shares of common stock and (ii) stock options to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock.

(5)       This figure represents (i) 1,481 shares of common stock and (ii) stock options to purchase 325,000 shares of our common stock.

(6)       This figure represents (i) 15,694 shares of common stock, (ii) 7,000 shares of common stock held of record by Mr. Kong's wife and (iii) stock options to purchase 175,000 shares of our common stock.

(7)       This figure represents (i) 32,015 shares of common stock and (ii) stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock.

(8)       This figure represents (i) 74,679 shares of common stock and (ii) stock options to purchase 705,000 shares of our common stock.

(9)       This figure represents (i) 79,550 shares of common stock and (ii) stock options to purchase 450,000 shares of our common stock.

(10)     This figure represents (i) 2,248,900 shares of common stock and (ii) stock options to purchase 4,544,634 shares of our common stock.

We have no knowledge of any arrangements, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may, at a subsequent date, result in a change in our control.

Under his leadership, Uranium Energy Corp. moved from concept to initial production in the United States in five years, and has developed a pipeline of low-cost, near-term production projects.

Mr. Adnani has been invited to speak at prominent industry conferences organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency, World Nuclear Fuel Market and the Milken Institute. He is a frequent contributor to the business media, including The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, CNBC and Fox Business News.

Fortune magazine distinguishes Mr. Adnani on their "40 Under 40, Ones to Watch" list of North American executives.

He is a nominee for Ernst & Young's "Entrepreneur of the Year" distinction.

Mr. Adnani is the founder and Chairman of Brazil Resources Inc., a publicly-listed gold development and acquisition company. In addition, since June 2014, he has served as a director of Garnero Group Acquisition Company, a NASDAQ listed special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) which completed a $144 million IPO in 2014. Mr. Adnani holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of British Columbia and is a director of the university's Alumni Association.

The Board of Directors has concluded that Mr. Adnani should serve as a director given his involvement with the Company since its inception and his experience in the uranium industry.

Spencer Abraham. Spencer Abraham has served as the Executive Chairman of our Board of Directors since October 2015 and served as the Chairman of our Advisory Board from December 2012 to October 2015. Mr. Abraham is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Abraham Group LLC, an international strategic consulting firm based in Washington, D.C. President George W. Bush selected Mr. Abraham as the tenth Secretary of Energy of the United States in 2001. During his tenure at the Energy Department from 2001 to 2005, he developed policies and regulations to ensure the nation's energy security, was responsible for the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, oversaw domestic oil and gas development policy and nuclear energy policy, developed relationships with international governments, including members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and led the landmark nuclear nonproliferation HEU program between the United States and Russia.

Mr. Abraham holds a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School and is an alumnus of Michigan State University.

- 8 -

The Board of Directors has concluded that Mr. Abraham should serve as a director given his extensive experience in the energy sector, including directing key aspects of energy strategy as Secretary of Energy of the United States from 2001 to 2005, and as a board member of various public companies in the oil, gas and power sector.

Ivan Obolensky. Ivan Obolensky has served on our Board of Directors since April 2007. Mr. Obolensky has over 50 years of experience in investment banking as a supervisory financial analyst, with specific expertise in the defense, aerospace, oil and gas, nuclear power, metals and mining, publishing and high technology industries. Mr. Obolensky is a senior associate of the Scott Abraham Investment Group of Raymond James & Associates, Inc. He has also been a Senior Executive with investment research orientation of several investment banks, including Sterling Grace & Co., Jesup, Josephthal & Co., Dominick and Dominick, Inc., Middendorf Colgate, CB Richard Ellis Moseley Hallgarten and Wellington Shields & Co. LLC, from November 1990 to April 2014. Mr. Obolensky has tenure as the 22-year President of the Josephine Lawrence Hopkins Foundation. As a 33º Master Mason and a Past Grand Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of the State of New York, he has long served as Chairman of its "watchdog" Financial Oversight Committee for the Masonic Brotherhood Foundation. Professionally, Mr. Obolensky has made frequent appearances as a guest of CNBC, CNNfn and Bloomberg TV. Mr. Obolensky is also a pro-active board member of several financial/charitable organizations: The Children's Cancer & Blood Foundation; The Bouverie Audubon Preserve of Glen Ellen California; The Police Athletic League of New York City; and General "Blackjack" Pershing's Soldiers', Sailors', Marines', and Airmen's Club, where he is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Obolensky is a graduate of Yale University, attended Law School at the University of Virginia and is a Lieutenant (Jg) US Naval Air Corps, USNR (Ret.). Mr. Obolensky was a factor in United States' mid-1960's vital nuclear switch-over to the highly efficient, secret and inexpensive gas centrifuge technology for the enrichment of uranium. Today, the Company is a part-beneficiary of these efforts.

The Board of Directors is pleased with Mr. Obolensky's active involvement with the Company since 2007 and, in particular, with his over 50 years of experience as a financial analyst in investment banking and as a dedicated expert in nuclear power. Therefore, the Board of Directors has concluded that Mr. Obolensky should serve as a director of the Company.

Vincent Della Volpe. Vincent Della Volpe has served on our Board of Directors since July 2007. Mr. Della Volpe has served as a professional money manager for over 35 years, including as a senior portfolio manager of pension funds for Honeywell Corporation and senior vice president of the YMCA Retirement fund in New York. Throughout his career Mr. Della Volpe has particularly focused on the management of energy and utility equity portfolios, and he also has experience managing venture capital investments. Mr. Della Volpe holds a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and an MBA in finance, both from Seton Hall University.

The Board of Directors has concluded that Mr. Della Volpe should serve as a director given his involvement with the Company since 2007 and his specialized expertise in finance.

Mr. Kong serves as a director of New Pacific Metals Corp., a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange since November 2010, as a director of Silvercorp Metals Inc., a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange since November 2011, and as a director of Brazil Resources Inc., a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") since October 2010.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Oversight of Executive Compensation Program

Our Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee that operates under a written charter approved by the Board. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Vincent Della Volpe, Ivan Obolensky and David Kong. Mr. Della Volpe is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. All of the members of the Compensation Committee qualify as independent directors under the listing standards of the NYSE MKT. The Board of Directors has determined that none of the Compensation Committee members have any material business relationships with the Company. The independence of the Compensation Committee members is re-assessed regularly by the Company.

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and administering the Company's executive and director compensation.

The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee, as stated in its charter, include the following:

• review and approve the Company's compensation guidelines and structure;
• review and approve on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation for the Chief Executive Officer;
• review and approve on an annual basis the evaluation process and compensation structure for the Company's other officers, including salary, bonus, incentive and equity compensation; and
• periodically review and make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation of non-management directors.

- 18 -

The Compensation Committee is responsible for developing the executive compensation philosophy and reviewing and recommending to the Board of Directors for approval all compensation policies and compensation programs for the executive team.

Since May 2012, consistent with good governance practices, the Compensation Committee retains, on an annual basis, an independent compensation advisor to provide advice on the structure and levels of compensation for our executive officers and directors and to undertake a comprehensive review of our incentive plans.

Overview of Executive Compensation Program

The Company recognizes that people are our primary asset and our principal source of competitive advantage. In order to recruit, motivate and retain the most qualified individuals as senior executive officers, the Company strives to maintain an executive compensation program that is competitive in the mining industry, which is a competitive, global labor market.

The Compensation Committee's compensation objective is designed to attract and retain the best available talent while efficiently utilizing available resources. The Compensation Committee compensates executive management primarily through base salary and equity compensation designed to be competitive with comparable companies, and to align management's compensation with the long-term interests of shareholders. In determining an executive management's compensation, the Compensation Committee also takes into consideration the financial condition of the Company and discussions with the executive.

In order to accomplish our goals and to ensure that the Company's executive compensation program is consistent with its direction and business strategy, the compensation program for our senior executive officers is based on the following objectives:

• to attract, motivate, retain and reward a knowledgeable and driven management team and to encourage them to attain and exceed performance expectations within a calculated risk framework; and
• to reward each executive based on individual and corporate performance and to incentivize such executives to drive the organization's current growth and sustainability objectives.

The following key principles guide the Company's overall compensation philosophy:

• compensation is designed to align executives to the critical business issues facing the Company;
• compensation should be fair and reasonable to shareholders and be set with reference to the local market and similar positions in comparable companies;
• a substantial portion of total compensation is at-risk and linked to individual efforts, as well as divisional and corporate performance. This ensures the link between executive pay and business performance;

- 19 -

• an appropriate portion of total compensation should be equity-based, aligning the interests of executives with shareholders; and
• compensation should be transparent to the Board of Directors, executives and shareholders.

Compensation Elements and Rationale

There are three basic components to the Company's executive compensation program: base salary; short-term incentive cash awards; and long-term incentive equity compensation.

Base Salary

Base salary is the foundation of the compensation program and is intended to compensate competitively relative to comparable companies within our industry and the marketplace where we compete for talent. Base salary is a fixed component of the compensation program and is used as the base to determine elements of incentive compensation and benefits.

Short-Term Incentive (Cash)

The short-term incentive plan is a variable component of compensation and has the objective of motivating the executive officers to achieve pre-determined objectives and to provide a means to reward the achievement of corporate milestones and fulfillment of the annual business plan.

Historically, the amount of the short-term incentive awards paid to the Company's executive officers was determined by the Company's Compensation Committee on a discretionary basis, given the Company's stage of development and its transitional stage of growth, based on the expected benefits to the Company for meeting its performance targets, the Company's available resources and market conditions. In Fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee undertook a comprehensive review of the Company's short-term incentive plan. The Compensation Committee considered the advice of its independent compensation advisor and recommendations issued by leading independent proxy advisors to develop a more objective approach for determining annual incentive awards.

In Fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee established guidelines for the amount of annual incentive awards payable to the executives as a percentage of an executive's base salary for specific performance targets and levels achieved. The Compensation Committee established minimum performance targets and levels and determined that no incentive compensation would be payable for performance falling below minimum performance levels. The Compensation Committee established superior performance targets and levels and determined that maximum incentive compensation equivalent to 200% of an executive's base salary could be payable for superior performance across all performance levels. The Compensation Committee considered the Company's overall business and strategic plan, operating activities, financing activities and prevailing market conditions to establish performance targets and levels.

For the year ended July 31, 2015 ("Fiscal 2015"), the Compensation Committee reapproved the following guidelines for the payment of incentive awards to the executives:

• annual incentive awards shall be payable for performance meeting or exceeding target performance levels;
• a maximum incentive award equivalent to 60% of an executive's base salary shall be payable for performance meeting target performance levels;

- 20 -

• a maximum incentive award equivalent to 120% of an executive's base salary shall be payable for performance meeting superior performance levels;
• no annual incentive awards shall be payable for performance falling below target performance levels;
• the value of individual performance targets shall be determined by the Compensation Committee;
• the payment of annual incentive awards shall be subject to a determination by the Board of Directors that the Company maintains sufficient cash on hand to meet the Company's financial obligations as determined on the date of payment; and
• annual incentive awards shall be subject to a provision for recovery or "clawback" if a payment is subsequently determined by the Board of Directors to have been based on materially inaccurate financial statements or materially inaccurate performance criteria.

The Compensation Committee determined that it would continue evaluating and evolving the compensation program design against best market practices as the Company experiences further growth.

In Fiscal 2015 short-term incentive awards were paid to the executive officers as more particularly described in the "Summary Compensation Table" below.

Subsequent to Fiscal 2015, due to prevailing market conditions, the Compensation Committee approved an overall decrease in compensation. Effective from February 1, 2016 to April 30, 2016, compensation was reduced by 25% on a non-accrued basis. Effective from May 1, 2016, compensation was reduced by 10% on a non-accrued basis. During this period, no short-term incentive awards were paid to the Company's executive officers or directors.

Long-Term Incentive (Equity)

The Company's long-term incentive program provides for the granting of stock options to executive officers to both motivate executive performance and retention, as well as to align executive officer performance to shareholder value creation. In awarding long-term incentives, the Company compares the long-term incentive program to that of comparable companies within our industry and evaluates such factors as the number of stock options available under its Stock Incentive Plan and the number of stock options outstanding relative to the number of shares outstanding. The Company has historically sought to award stock options on a competitive basis based on a comparison with comparable companies.

Each long-term incentive grant is based on the level of the position held and overall market competitiveness. The Compensation Committee takes into consideration previous grants when it considers new grants of stock options.

The Board of Directors fixes the exercise price of the stock options at the time of the grant at the NYSE MKT closing price of our common shares.

- 21 -

In Fiscal 2015 the Compensation Committee undertook a review of the Company's long-term equity incentive program. The Compensation Committee considered that no long-term equity incentive awards had been awarded to the executive officers since 2011. The Compensation Committee determined to increase the amount of long-term equity incentive plan awards to the executive officers on a one-time basis to address prior shortfalls in pay and to better align compensation with the long-term interests of stockholders.

In Fiscal 2015 long-term equity incentive plan awards were awarded to the executive officers in the form of stock options. The stock options vest over 18 months.

In Fiscal 2015 the Compensation Committee undertook a comprehensive review of the Company's long-term incentive plan. The Compensation Committee considered the advice of its independent compensation advisor and recommendations issued by leading independent proxy advisors to enhance governance practices within its long-term incentive plan.

Non-Cash Compensation

The Company provides standard health benefits to its executives, including medical, dental and disability insurance.

The Company's non-cash compensation is intended to provide a similar level of benefits as those provided by comparable companies within our industry.

Review of Executive Officer Performance

On an annual basis the Compensation Committee reviews the overall compensation package for our executive officers and evaluates executive officer performance relative to corporate goals. The Compensation Committee has the opportunity to meet with the executive officers at various times throughout the year, which assists the Compensation Committee in forming its own assessment of each individual's performance. The executive officers are not present during voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee relating to executive compensation.

In determining the compensation for the executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers compensation paid to executive officers of other companies within the industry, the executive's performance in meeting goals, the complexity of the management position and the experience of the individual. When reviewing the executive's performance for Fiscal 2015, the Compensation Committee took into consideration both individual and corporate performance levels. The executive performance targets for Fiscal 2015 were as follows:

- 22 -

• secure adequate financing within a challenging post-Fukushima environment;
• establish a strategic plan to adapt to the existing uranium market and position the Company for a turnaround in uranium prices;
• expansion of the resource base;
• advancement of the Company's projects; and
• corporate performance.

The following milestones were attained by the Company as a result of the success of the executives meeting their performance targets:

• completion of a public offering of 5,000,000 units of the Company at a price of $2.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $10 million, with each unit being comprised of one share of the Company and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant exercisable at a price of $2.35 for a three-year period to purchase one additional share of the Company for a total 2,500,000 shares);
• $5.6 million of surety bonds were secured, subject to a 2% annual premium on the face value, which replaced an equivalent amount of reclamation deposits related to future remediation and decommissioning activities at the Palangana Mine and Hobson Processing Facility, and resulted in the release of $3.9 million in cash and cash equivalents to the Company;
• generated gross revenue of $3.1 million from the sale of uranium from inventory at a negotiated price of $38.50/lb, which was higher than the spot price at the time of the sale;
• advancement of permitting activities at the Palangana Mine including expansion of the Mine Area Permit boundary from 6,200 to 8,722 acres for future wellfields and issuance of the Production Area Authorization-4 permit and aquifer exemption which is now fully-permitted for uranium extraction;
• advancement of permitting activities at the Burke Hollow Project with the issuance of two Class I disposal well permits and completion of a drill program comprised of 44 exploration holes totaling 22,535 feet;
• the Yuty ISR Project was advanced from exploration phase to exploitation phase upon approval from the Ministry of Public Works and Communication, the national agency that regulates mining in Paraguay;
• completion of an updated Technical Report dated October 6, 2014 with a 77% increase in estimated mineralized materials for the Burke Hollow Project prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators, ("NI 43-101");
• completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment Report dated July 6, 2014 for the Anderson Project prepared in accordance with NI 43-101; and
• addition of the Company's shares to the Russell 2000 and related growth and value style indexes.

Compensation and Risk

We do not believe that our compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. We have taken steps to ensure our executive compensation program does not incentivize risk outside the Company's risk appetite. Some of the key ways that we currently manage compensation risk are as follows:

• appointed a Compensation Committee which is composed entirely of independent directors to oversee the executive compensation program;
• retained an independent compensation advisor to provide advice on the structure and levels of compensation for our executive officers and directors;
• the use of deferred equity compensation in the form of stock options to encourage a focus on long-term corporate performance versus short-term results;
• disclosure of executive compensation to stakeholders;
• established a clawback policy applicable to all cash and equity incentive compensation; and
• adoption of say-on-pay.

- 25 -

Clawback Policy

We adopted a clawback policy as an additional safeguard to mitigate compensation risks. The clawback policy applies to all cash and equity incentive compensation and provides that the Board of Directors may seek reimbursement for compensation awarded to an executive in situations where: (a) payment was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a substantial restatement of the Company's financial statements filed with any securities regulatory authority; (b) the executive engaged in gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud that caused, or partially caused, the need for a restatement; or (c) the incentive compensation would have been lower had the financial results been properly reported.

Consideration of Most Recent Shareholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, at our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders our stockholders voted, in an advisory manner, on a proposal to approve our named executive officer compensation. This was our most recent stockholder advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation. The proposal was approved by our stockholders, receiving approximately 92.55% of the vote of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and voting at the meeting. We considered this vote to be a ratification of our current executive compensation policies and decisions and, therefore, did not make any significant changes to our executive compensation policies and decisions based on the vote.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No person who served as a member of our Compensation Committee during Fiscal 2015 was a current or former officer or employee of our Company or engaged in certain transactions with our Company required to be disclosed by regulations of the SEC. Additionally, during Fiscal 2015 there were no Compensation Committee "interlocks," which generally means that no executive officer of our Company served: (a) as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity which had an executive officer serving as a member of our Company's Compensation Committee; (b) as a director of another entity which had an executive officer serving as a member of our Company's Compensation Committee; or (c) as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity which had an executive officer serving as a director of our Company.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing compensation discussion and analysis with Company management. Based on that review and those discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the compensation discussion and analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL NUMBER THREE:

APPROVAL OF 2016 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

            We are seeking shareholder approval of the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan to authorize 1,200,000 additional shares for issuance pursuant to new awards, as described below.

Summary of 2016 Stock Incentive Plan

On June 7, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized and approved the adoption of the Company's 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2016 Stock Incentive Plan"), under which an aggregate of 18,892,856of our shares may be issued, which consists of (i) 10,467,134 shares issuable pursuant to stock options previously granted that were outstanding under our 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (as described below) as of June 7, 2016, (ii) 7,225,722 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan as of June 7, 2016; and (iii) 1,200,000 additional shares that may be issued pursuant to awards that may be granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2016 Stock Incentive Plan supersedes and replaces the Company's 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, dated as originally ratified by the Board of Directors on June 15, 2015, as ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the Company's annual general meeting held last year on July 30, 2015 (the "2015 Stock Incentive Plan").

In the event that our shareholders do not approve the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

The purpose of the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan is to enhance our long-term stockholder value by offering opportunities to our directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants to acquire and maintain stock ownership in order to give these persons the opportunity to participate in our growth and success, and to encourage them to remain in our service.

The 2016 Stock Incentive Plan is to be administered by our Compensation Committee which shall determine, among other things: (a) the persons to be granted awards under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan; (b) the number of shares or amount of other awards to be granted; and (c) the terms and conditions of the awards granted. The Company may issue restricted shares, stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock rights and dividend equivalent rights, among others, under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. As indicated above, an aggregate of 18,892,856of our shares may be issued pursuant to the grant of awards under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan.

An award may not be exercised after the termination date of the award and may be exercised following the termination of an eligible participant's continuous service only to the extent provided by the administrator under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. If the administrator under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan permits a participant to exercise an award following the termination of continuous service for a specified period, the award terminates to the extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the award, whichever occurs first. In the event an eligible participant's service has been terminated for "cause", he or she shall immediately forfeit all rights to any of the awards outstanding.

The foregoing summary of the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which has been included as Schedule "A" to this Proxy Statement regarding this matter as filed electronically with the SEC, which is available under the Company's filings at www.sec.gov.

- 38 -

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The United States federal income tax consequences to the Company and its eligible participants under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan are complex and subject to change. The following discussion is a summary of the general rules applicable to awards granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, to an eligible participant who performs services within the United States or is a United States citizen or resident. The tax consequences may be affected by various income tax treaties. Eligible participants under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan should consult their own tax advisors since a taxpayer's particular situation may be such that some variation of the rules described below will apply.

The Company has been advised that, based on the current provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"), the federal income tax consequences of the grant, vesting and exercise of awards under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the subsequent disposition of shares of common stock acquired under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan are as described below. The following discussion addresses only the general federal income tax consequences of awards. Eligible participants in the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the impact of federal, state and local taxes, the federal alternative minimum tax and securities laws restrictions, given their individual situations. It is intended that the underlying benefits that are required to be treated as deferred compensation to which Code Section 409A is applicable, will comply with statute and the underlying agency guidance interpreting that section.

In the case of an exercise of a non-qualified stock option or "SAR", the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price (or SAR grant price) and the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the exercise date. Likewise, in the case of a common law employer-employee relationship, any amount recognized as ordinary income for income tax purposes will be also recognized as wages for the Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA") and the Federal Unemployment Tax Act ("FUTA") purposes. This will require reporting and payment of Old Age Survivors and Disability Insurance ("OASDI"), assuming the FICA-OASDI taxable wage base has not been exceeded for the year of exercise, and Hospital Insurance. For awards issued to non-employees, the income from the exercise of the grant will be taxable as self-employment income and will therefore be subject to both federal and state income taxes as well as self-employment taxes to the individual.

In the case of an incentive stock option, there is no tax liability at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the exercise date over the option exercise price is included in the eligible participant's income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. If no disposition of the incentive stock option stock is made before the later of one year from the date of exercise or two years from the date the incentive stock option is granted, the eligible participant will realize a long-term capital gain or loss upon a sale of the stock equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the sale price (and the Company will not be entitled to deduct any gain for federal income tax purposes). If the stock is not held for the required period, it is considered to be a "disqualifying disposition", and ordinary income tax treatment will generally apply to the amount of any gain at sale or exercise, whichever is less, and the Company will be entitled to deduct such amount for federal income tax purposes if the amount represents an ordinary and necessary business expense. The balance of any gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on whether the shares have been held for more than one year), and will not result in any additional deduction by the Company. FICA and FUTA taxes will not apply to any ordinary income or capital gain from the exercise of an incentive stock option, even in the case of a disqualifying disposition. Incentive stock options may only be issued to employees, and any options that are issued to non-employees are taxed as non-qualified stock options.

- 39 -

In the case of an award of restricted stock, the immediate federal income tax effect for the recipient will depend on the nature of the restrictions. Recipients of grants of restricted stock generally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income the fair market value of the restricted stock at the time it is freely transferable or no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (less the amount, if any, paid for the shares). However, an award holder who makes an 83(b) election within 30 days of the date of grant of the restricted stock will incur taxable ordinary income on the date of grant equal to the fair market value of such shares of restricted stock (determined without regard to forfeiture restrictions). With respect to the sale of shares after the forfeiture restrictions have expired, the holding period to determine whether the award recipient has long-term or short-term capital gain or loss generally begins when the restrictions expire, and the tax basis for such shares will generally be based on the fair market value of the shares on that date. However, if the award holder made an 83(b) election as described above, the holding period commences on the date of such election, and the tax basis will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the election (determined without regard to the forfeiture restrictions on the shares). Dividends, if any, that are paid or accrued while the restricted stock is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture will also be taxed as ordinary income. As to stock grants that are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the holder of the award must recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the date of receipt), less the amount, if any, paid for the shares. In an employee-employer relationship, the amounts the award holder includes as ordinary income from the grant of a restricted or unrestricted stock award are subject to FICA and FUTA. The Company will also be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to amounts the award holder includes in ordinary income at the time of such income inclusion.

Recipients of grants of restricted stock units, deferred stock units or dividend equivalents (collectively, "deferred awards") will not incur any federal income tax liability at the time the awards are granted. Award holders will recognize ordinary income equal to (a) the amount of cash received under the terms of the award or, as applicable, (b) the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the date of receipt, or if later, when such shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture) under the terms of the award. Dividend equivalents received with respect to any deferred award will also be taxed as ordinary income. To the extent that an award is considered as an award of deferred compensation, it will be likely, under application of the "special timing rule", that its present value will be treated for employment tax purposes as wages and FICA and FUTA will be assessed at the later of the date of the performance of services or the elimination of a substantial risk of forfeiture for entitlement to the benefit. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction for any amounts included by the award holder as ordinary income. For awards that are payable in shares, the holder's tax basis is equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time the shares become payable. Upon the sale of the shares, appreciation (or depreciation) after the shares are paid is treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on how long the shares have been held.

Subject to the usual rules concerning reasonable compensation (including the Company's obligation to withhold or otherwise collect certain income and payroll taxes), and subject to the limits under Section 162(m) of the Code described below, the Company will generally be allowed an income tax deduction simultaneous with, and equal to, the ordinary income recognized by the participant. The Company does not receive an income tax deduction as a result of the exercise of an incentive stock option, provided that the incentive stock option stock is held for the required period as described above.

The Company may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid in a taxable year to certain "covered employees" as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code. The deduction limit, however, does not apply to certain types of compensation, including qualified performance-based compensation. The Company believes that compensation attributable to stock options and SARs granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan is qualified performance-based compensation and, therefore, not subject to the deduction limit.

- 40 -

Special rules may apply to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In particular, shares received through exercise or payout of a non-qualified option, an incentive stock option (for purposes of the alternative minimum tax only), a SAR or a restricted stock unit, and any shares of restricted stock that vest, may be treated as restricted property for purposes of Section 83 of the Code if the recipient has had a non-exempt acquisition of shares of Company stock within the six months prior to the exercise, payout or vesting. Accordingly, the amount of any ordinary income recognized and the amount of our income tax deduction will be determined as of the end of that period (unless a special election is made by the recipient pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize income as of the date the shares are received).

PROPOSAL NUMBER FOUR:

NON-BINDING VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act (which was added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and the related rules of the SEC, we are providing the Company's shareholders with the opportunity to vote on a non-binding advisory resolution to approve the compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers as described in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC's compensation disclosure rules. This Proposal, commonly known as a "say-on-pay" proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our Named Executive Officers' compensation as a whole. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or any specific Named Executive Officer, but rather the overall compensation of all of our Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

In consideration of the Fiscal 2010 advisory vote by our shareholders on the frequency of "say-on-pay" votes, our Board of Directors has determined to hold such votes on an annual basis until the next vote on the frequency of "say-on-pay" votes. Accordingly, the next "say-on-pay" votes will be held at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2017.

The say-on-pay vote is advisory and, therefore, not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. The say-on-pay vote will, however, provide information to us regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Compensation Committee will be able to consider when determining executive compensation for the remainder of the current fiscal year and beyond. Our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the Named Executive Officer compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we may communicate directly with stockholders to better understand the concerns that influenced the vote, but in all events we will consider our stockholders' concerns and will share them with the Compensation Committee which will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

The key points of our 2015 executive compensation program are set forth in the "Executive Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement.

We believe that the information provided above and within the "Executive Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure management's interests are aligned with our stockholders' interests to support long-term value creation. Accordingly, the Company is asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our Named Executive Officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement by voting "FOR" the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that the Company's shareholders hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders."

Adoption of this resolution will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the Proposal. Brokers and other nominee holders do not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares with respect to this Proposal. Accordingly, if brokers or other nominee holders do not receive voting instructions from beneficial owners of the shares, they will not be able to vote the shares and broker non-votes may occur with respect to this Proposal. However, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the voting on this Proposal because it requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting (as opposed to a majority of the shares outstanding).

- 43 -

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

__________

- 44 -

FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Stockholders who intend to submit a proposal for the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2017 and desire that such proposal be included in the proxy materials for such meeting must follow the procedures prescribed by Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. To be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials, stockholder proposals must be received at either of the Company's principal offices by the Corporate Secretary of the Company no later than February 17, 2017. Upon receipt of such a proposal, the Company will determine whether or not to include the proposal in such proxy statement and form of proxy in accordance with applicable law.

A stockholder that wishes to present a proposal at the next annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2017 must submit such proposal to the Company on or before May 3, 2017, or management will have discretionary authority to vote proxies received for such meeting with respect to any such proposal.

For non-publicly traded stock, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the Grant Date based on an average of the Fair Market Values as of such date set forth in the opinions of completely independent and well-qualified experts (the Eligible Participant's status as a majority or minority shareholder may be taken into consideration).

Regardless of whether the Common Stock offered under the Award is publicly traded, a good faith attempt under this definition shall not be met unless the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date is determined with regard to nonlapse restrictions (as defined in Section 1.83-3(h) of the Treasury Regulations) and without regard to lapse restrictions (as defined in Section 1.83-3(i) of the Treasury Regulations);

The Maximum Number consists of (i) 10,467,134 Shares issuable pursuant to Awards previously granted and, if applicable, outstanding under the Company's 2015 Stock Incentive Plan as of the date of this Plan as first written above, which Awards are covered by this Plan, (ii) 7,225,722 Shares remaining available for issuance under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan as of the date of this Plan as first written above and (iii) 1,200,000 additional Shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards to be granted under this Plan. Refer to Section 29 for Reservation of Shares. For the purposes of calculating the Maximum Number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to all Awards: (i) every one (1) Share issuable pursuant to the exercise of an Option or SAR shall count as one (1) Share; and (ii) every one (1) Share underlying Restricted Stock, an unrestricted Share, Restricted Stock Unit, Deferred Stock Unit or other right or benefit under this Plan shall count as two (2) Shares. Shares reacquired by the Company in the open market using cash proceeds from the exercise of Options will not be available for Awards under the Plan.

(b)       Shares that have been issued under the Plan pursuant to an Award shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future issuance under the Plan, except that Shares covered by an Award (or portion of an Award) which is forfeited, cancelled, expired or settled in cash (which cash settlement is only available with respect to Shares or in-the-money Options or SARs) shall be deemed not to have been issued for the purposes of determining the Maximum Number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt: (i) the Company shall not return to the Plan any Shares tendered for the exercise of any Award under the Plan; (ii) Shares withheld to satisfy a Grantee's tax withholding obligations shall be deemed to have been issued under the Plan for the purposes of determining the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) the gross (not net) number of Shares that are issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award shall be deemed to have been issued under the Plan for the purposes of determining the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iv) if any stock-settled SARs are exercised, the aggregate number of Shares subject to such SARs shall be deemed issued under the Plan for the purposes of determining the Maximum Number of Shares.

(c)       However, in the event that prior to the Award's cancellation, termination, expiration, forfeiture or lapse, the holder of the Award at any time received one or more elements of beneficial ownership pursuant to such Award (as defined by the SEC, pursuant to any rule or interpretations promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act), the Shares subject to such Award shall not again be made available for regrant under the Plan.

                        Limitations on Award

3.3                     Unless and until the Administrator determines that an Award to a Grantee is not designed to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the following limits (the "Award Limits") shall apply to grants of Awards to Grantees subject to the Award Limits by Applicable Laws under this Plan:

(a)       Options and SARs. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary (but subject to adjustment as provided in Section 18), the maximum number of Shares with respect to one or more Options and/or SARs that may be granted during any one calendar year under the Plan to any one Grantee shall be 1,000,000; all of which may be granted as Incentive Stock Options); and

The exercise price of any Option shall be determined by the Administrator when the Option is granted, at such exercise price as may be determined by the Administrator in the Administrator's sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Grant Date with respect to any Options which are granted and, provided further, that the exercise price of any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Grant Date. Payment for the Shares purchased shall be made in accordance with Section 16 of this Plan. The Administrator is authorized to issue Options, whether Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options, at an option price in excess of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date, to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted under the Plan, including, but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price or purchase price, any restrictions or limitations on the Award, any schedule for lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of the Award, and acceleration or waivers thereof, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines that is not inconsistent with any rule or regulation under any tax or securities laws or includes an alternative right that does not disqualify an Incentive Stock Option under applicable regulations;

(d)       Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a stock option exercise agreement (the "Exercise Agreement") in a form approved by the Administrator (which need not be the same for each Grantee), stating the number of Shares being purchased, the restrictions imposed on the Shares purchased under such Exercise Agreement, if any, and such representations and agreements regarding the Grantee's investment intent and access to information and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of the exercise price for the number of Shares being purchased;

(e)       Exercise After Certain Events.

(i)       Termination of Continuous Services.

(A)       Options.

(I)       Termination of Continuous Services. If for any reason other than Disability or death, a Grantee terminates Continuous Services with the Company or a Subsidiary, vested Options held at the date of such termination may be exercised, in whole or in part, either (i) at any time within three months after the date of such termination, or (ii) during any lesser period as specified in the Award Agreement or (iii) during any lesser period as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, prior to the date of such termination (but in no event after the earlier of (A) the expiration date of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement and (B) ten years from the Grant Date (five years for a Ten Percent Stockholder if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option)).

(II)       Continuation of Services as Consultant/Advisor. If a Grantee granted an Incentive Stock Option terminates employment but continues as a Consultant (no termination of Continuous Services), the Grantee need not exercise an Incentive Stock Option within either of the termination periods provided for immediately hereinabove but shall be entitled to exercise, in whole or in part, either (i) at any time within three months after the then date of termination of Continuous Services to the Company or a Subsidiary, or (ii) during any lesser period as specified in the Award Agreement or (iii) during any lesser period as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, prior to the date of such then termination of Continuous Services to the Company or the Subsidiary (one year in the event of Disability or death) (but in no event after the earlier of (A) the expiration date of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement and (B) ten years from the Grant Date (five years for a Ten Percent Stockholder if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option)). However, if the Grantee does not exercise within three months of termination of employment, pursuant to Section 422 of the Code the Option shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.

- 18 -

(B)       Disability and Death. If a Grantee becomes Disabled while rendering Continuous Services to the Company or a Subsidiary, or dies while employed by the Company or Subsidiary or within three months thereafter, vested Options then held may be exercised by the Grantee, the Grantee's personal representative, or by the person to whom the Option is transferred by the laws of descent and distribution, in whole or in part, at any time within one year after the termination because of the Disability or death or any lesser period specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event after the earlier of (i) the expiration date of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement, and (ii) ten years from the Grant Date (five years for a Ten Percent Stockholder if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option).

For purposes of this Section 7.3(a), all Options in excess of the $100,000 threshold shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options notwithstanding the designation as Incentive Stock Options. For this purpose, Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the date the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

(b)       Compliance with Section 422 of the Code. There shall be imposed in the Award Agreement relating to Incentive Stock Options such terms and conditions as are required in order that the Option be an "incentive stock option" as that term is defined in Section 422 of the Code.

(c)       Requirement of Employment. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any person who is not an Employee of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company.

12.1                     A SAR is an award to receive a number of Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock), or cash, or Shares and cash, as determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 12.4 below, for services rendered to the Company. A SAR may be awarded pursuant to an Award Agreement that shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each Grantee) as the Administrator shall from time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. A SAR may vary from Grantee to Grantee and between groups of Grantees, and may be based upon performance objectives (Refer to Performance Goals in Section 14.4).

                        Term

12.2                     The term of a SAR shall be set forth in the Award Agreement as determined by the Administrator, provided that the term of a SAR shall expire not later than ten years after the Grant Date of such SAR.

                        Exercise

12.3                     A Grantee desiring to exercise a SAR shall give written notice of such exercise to the Company, which notice shall state the proportion of Shares and cash that the Grantee desires to receive pursuant to the SAR exercised, subject to the discretion of the Administrator. Upon receipt of the notice from the Grantee, subject to the Administrator's election to pay cash as provided in Section 12.4 below, the Company shall deliver to the person entitled thereto (i) a certificate or certificates for Shares and/or (ii) a cash payment, in accordance with Section 12.4 below. The date the Company receives written notice of such exercise hereunder is referred to in this Section 12 as the "exercise date".

                        Number of Shares or Amount of Cash

12.4                     Subject to the discretion of the Administrator to substitute cash for Shares, or some portion of the Shares for cash, the amount of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of a SAR shall be determined by dividing: (i) the total number of Shares as to which the SAR is exercised, multiplied by the amount by which the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the exercise date exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the SAR; by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the exercise date; provided, however, that fractional Shares shall not be issued and in lieu thereof, a cash adjustment shall be paid. In lieu of issuing Shares upon the exercise of a SAR, the Administrator in its sole discretion may elect to pay the cash equivalent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the exercise date for any or all of the Shares that would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of the SAR.

                        Effect of Exercise

12.5                     A partial exercise of a SAR shall not affect the right to exercise the remaining SAR from time to time in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement with respect to the remaining shares subject to the SAR.

- 23 -

                        Forfeiture

12.6                     In the case of an event of forfeiture pursuant to the Award Agreement, including failure to satisfy any restriction period or a performance objective, any SAR that has not vested prior to the date of termination shall automatically expire, and all of the rights, title and interest of the Grantee thereunder shall be forfeited in their entirety.

13.                    DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHT

                        A dividend equivalent right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive credits based on cash distributions that would have been paid on the Shares specified in the dividend equivalent right (or other Award to which it relates) if such Shares had been issued to and held by the recipient (a "Dividend Equivalent Right"). A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any Grantee as a component of another Award or as a freestanding Award. The terms and conditions of a Dividend Equivalent Right shall be specified in the grant. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional Shares, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or Shares or a combination thereof, in a single instalment or instalments, all determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions different from such other Award.

14.                    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS

                        In General

14.1                     Subject to the terms of the Plan and Applicable Laws, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria.

                        Term of Award

14.2                     The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the Award Agreement.

- 24 -

                        Transferability

14.3

(a)       Limits on Transfer. No Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, to a Grantee's spouse, former spouse or dependent pursuant to a court-approved domestic relations order which relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property rights or to the limited extent provided in this Section 14.3(a). All rights with respect to an Award granted to a Grantee shall be available during his or her lifetime only to the Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may, in a manner specified by the Administrator, if the Administrator so permits, transfer an Award by bona fide gift and not for any consideration, to (i) a member or members of the Grantee's immediate family, (ii) a trust established for the exclusive benefit of the Grantee and or member(s) of the Grantee's immediate family, (iii) a partnership, limited liability company or other entity whose only members are the Grantee and/or member(s) of the Grantee's immediate family, or (iv) a foundation in which the Grantee and/or member(s) of the Grantee's immediate family control the management of the foundation's assets. Any such transfer shall be made in accordance with such procedures as the Administrator may specify from time to time.

(b)       Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding Section 14.3(a), a Grantee may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Grantee and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Grantee's death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Grantee, except to the extent the Plan and such Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Grantee, payment shall be made to the Grantee's estate. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Grantee at any time, provided the change or revocation is filed with the Administrator.

                        Performance Goals

14.4                     In order to preserve the deductibility of an Award under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator may determine that any Award granted pursuant to this Plan to a Grantee that is or is expected to become a Covered Employee shall be determined solely on the basis of (a) the achievement by the Company or Subsidiary of a specified target return, or target growth in return, on equity or assets, (b) the Company's stock price, (c) the Company's total shareholder return (stock price appreciation plus reinvested dividends) relative to a defined comparison group or target over a specific performance period, (d) the achievement by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary, or a business unit of any such entity, of a specified target, or target growth in, net income, earnings per share, earnings before income and taxes, and earnings before income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or (e) any combination of the goals set forth in (a) through (d) above. If an Award is made on such basis, the Administrator shall establish goals prior to the beginning of the period for which such performance goal relates (or such later date as may be permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder but not later than 90 days after commencement of the period of services to which the performance goal relates), and the Administrator has the right for any reason to reduce (but not increase) the Award, notwithstanding the achievement of a specified goal. Any payment of an Award granted with performance goals shall be conditioned on the written certification of the Administrator in each case that the performance goals and any other material conditions were satisfied.

- 25 -

                        In addition, to the extent that Section 409A is applicable, (i) performance-based compensation shall also be contingent on the satisfaction of pre-established organizational or individual performance criteria relating to a performance period of at least 12 consecutive months in which the Eligible Participant performs services and (ii) performance goals shall be established not later than 90 calendar days after the beginning of any performance period to which the performance goal relates, provided that the outcome is substantially uncertain at the time the criteria are established.

                        Acceleration and Lapse of Restrictions

14.5                     The Administrator may, in its sole discretion (but subject to the limitations of and compliance with Section 409A of the Code and Section 14.7 in connection therewith), in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or a Corporate Transaction, Change of Control or Related Entity Disposition in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, accelerate the time within which outstanding Awards may be exercised, provided that no outstanding unvested Awards shall vest prior to the effectiveness of such dissolution or liquidation of the Company or Corporate Transaction, Change of Control or Related Entity Disposition in which the Company is not the surviving corporation. Refer to Section 19.

The Administrator may, in its sole discretion (but subject to the limitations of and compliance with Section 409A of the Code and Section 14.7 in connection therewith), at any time (including, without limitation, prior to, coincident with or subsequent to a Change of Control) determine that all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of the outstanding Awards shall lapse, as of such date as the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, declare.

The Administrator may discriminate among Grantees and among Awards granted to a Grantee in exercising its discretion pursuant to this Section 14.5.

                        Compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code

14.6                     Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code is required or desired, all Awards granted under this Plan to Named Executive Officers shall comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. In addition, in the event that changes are made to Section 162(m) of the Code to permit greater flexibility with respect to any Award or Awards under this Plan, the Administrator may make any adjustments it deems appropriate.

                        Compliance with Section 409A of the Code

14.7                     Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if any provision of this Plan or an Award Agreement contravenes any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code or could cause an Award to be subject to the interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, such provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement shall be modified to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. In addition, in the event that changes are made to Section 409A of the Code to permit greater flexibility with respect to any Award under this Plan, the Administrator may make any adjustments it deems appropriate.

- 26 -

                        Section 280G of the Code

14.8                     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, unless expressly provided otherwise in the Award Agreement, if the right to receive or benefit from an Award under this Plan, either alone or together with payments that a Grantee has a right to receive from the Company, would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G of the Code), all such payments shall be reduced to the largest amount that shall result in no portion being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

                        Exercise of Award Following Termination of Continuous Service

14.9                     An Award may not be exercised after the termination date of such Award set forth in the Award Agreement and may be exercised following the termination of a Grantee's Continuous Service only to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. Where the Award Agreement permits a Grantee to exercise an Award following the termination of the Grantee's Continuous Service for a specified period, the Award shall terminate to the extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the Award, whichever occurs first.

                        Cancellation of Awards

14.10                   In the event a Grantee's Continuous Services has been terminated for "Cause", he or she shall immediately forfeit all rights to any and all Awards outstanding. The determination that termination was for Cause shall be final and conclusive. In making its determination, the Board shall give the Grantee an opportunity to appear and be heard at a hearing before the full Board and present evidence on the Grantee's behalf. Should any provision to this Section 14.10. be held to be invalid or illegal, such illegality shall not invalidate the whole of this Section 14, but, rather, this Plan shall be construed as if it did not contain the illegal part or narrowed to permit its enforcement, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

15.                    ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR SO LONG AS THE SHARES ARE LISTED ON A STOCK EXCHANGE

15.1                     For so long as the Shares are listed on a stock exchange, and to the extent required by the rules of such stock exchange, the following terms and conditions shall apply to an Award in addition to those contained herein, as applicable:

17.                    WITHHOLDING TAXES

                        Withholding Generally

17.1                     Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under this Plan or Shares are forfeited pursuant to a deemed net-stock exercise, the Company may require the Grantee to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy the foreign, federal, state, provincial, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, on exercise of an Award. When, under applicable tax laws, a Grantee incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of any Award, the disposition by a Grantee or other person of an Award or an Option prior to satisfaction of the holding period requirements of Section 422 of the Code, or upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Company shall have the right to require such Grantee or such other person to pay by cash, or check payable to the Company, the amount of any such withholding with respect to such transactions. Any such payment must be made promptly when the amount of such obligation becomes determinable.

                        Stock for Withholding

17.2                     To the extent permissible under applicable tax, securities and other laws, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, permit a Grantee to satisfy his or her obligation to pay any withholding tax, in whole or in part, with Shares up to an amount not greater than the Company's minimum statutory withholding rate for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. The Administrator may exercise its discretion, by (i) directing the Company to apply Shares to which the Grantee is entitled as a result of the exercise of an Award, or (ii) delivering to the Company Shares that have been owned by the Grantee for more than six months, unless the delivery of Shares is otherwise exempt from Section 16 of the Exchange Act. A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to this Section 17.2 may satisfy his or her withholding obligation only with Shares that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements. The Shares so applied or delivered for the withholding obligation shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of measurement of the amount of income subject to withholding.

18.                    ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

                        In General

18.1                     Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such outstanding Award, as well as any other terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been effected without receipt of consideration. The Administrator shall make the appropriate adjustments to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under this Plan; and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per Share in effect under each outstanding Award in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number and the Administrator shall make such adjustments as are necessary to insure Awards of whole Shares. Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

                        Company's Right to Effect Changes in Capitalization

18.2                     The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect the Company's right to effect adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in its or any other corporation's capital structure or business, any merger or consolidation, any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company's or any other corporation's assets or business or any other corporate act whether similar to the events described above or otherwise.

19.                    CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS/CHANGES IN CONTROL/RELATED ENTITY DISPOSITIONS

                        Company is Not the Survivor

19.1                     Subject to Section 19.3 and except as may otherwise be provided in an Award Agreement, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its absolute discretion, exercisable either in advance of any actual or anticipated Corporate Transaction, Change of Control or Related Entity Disposition in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or at the time of an actual Corporate Transaction, Change of Control or Related Entity Disposition in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (a) to cancel each outstanding in-the-money Award upon payment in cash to the Grantee of the amount by which any cash and the Fair Market Value of any other property which the Grantee would have received as consideration for the Shares covered by the Award if the Award had been exercised before such Corporate Transaction, Change of Control or Related Entity Disposition exceeds the exercise price of the Award, or (b) to negotiate to have such Award assumed by the surviving corporation. The determination as to whether the Company is the surviving corporation is at the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrator.

                        In addition to the foregoing, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or a Corporate Transaction, Change of Control or Related Entity Disposition in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, the Administrator may accelerate the time within which each outstanding Award may be exercised, provided that no outstanding unvested Awards shall vest prior to the effectiveness of such dissolution or liquidation of the Company or Corporate Transaction, Change of Control or Related Entity Disposition in which the Company is not the surviving corporation.

                        The Administrator shall also have the authority:

- 20 -

(a)       to release the Awards from restrictions on transfer and repurchase or forfeiture rights of such Awards on such terms and conditions as the Administrator may specify; and

(b)       to condition any such Award's vesting and exercisability or release from such limitations upon the subsequent termination of the Continuous Service of the Grantee within a specified period following the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, Change of Control or Related Entity Disposition.

                        Effective upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, Change of Control or Related Entity Disposition governed by this Section 19.1, all outstanding Awards under this Plan not exercised by the Grantee or assumed by the successor corporation shall terminate.

                        Company is the Survivor

19.2                     In the event of a Corporate Transaction, Change of Control or Related Entity Disposition in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the Administrator shall determine the appropriate adjustment of the number and kind of securities with respect to which outstanding Awards may be exercised, and the exercise price at which outstanding Awards may be exercised. The Administrator shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, when the Company shall be deemed to survive for purposes of this Plan. Subject to any contrary language in an Award Agreement evidencing an Award, any restrictions applicable to such Award shall apply as well to any replacement shares received by the Grantee as a result.

                        Change of Control

19.3                     If there is a Change of Control, the Administrator, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any Eligible Participant, shall affect one or more of the following alternatives, which may vary among individual Eligible Participants and which may vary among Awards held by any individual Eligible Participant: (i) provide for the substitution of a new Award or other arrangement (which, if applicable, may be exercisable for such property or stock as the Administrator determines) for an Award or the assumption of the Award, regardless of whether in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies; (ii) provide for acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions, in whole or in part, with respect to, the Award and, if the transaction is a cash merger, provide for the termination of any portion of the Award that remains unexercised at the time of such transaction; or (iii) cancel any such Awards and to deliver to the Eligible Participants cash in an amount that the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion is equal to the fair market value of such Awards on the date of such event, which in the case of Options or SARs shall be the excess of the Fair Market Value of Shares on such date over the exercise price of such Award.

20.                    PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP

                        No Grantee shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Grantee. After Shares are issued to the Grantee, the Grantee shall be a stockholder and have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, that if such Shares are Restricted Stock, then any new, additional or different securities the Grantee may become entitled to receive with respect to such Shares by virtue of a stock dividend, stock split or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Award.

- 31 -

21.                    RESTRICTION ON AND VESTING OF SHARES

Except as otherwise provided for in this Section 21, the Award Agreements with respect to Restricted Stock, unrestricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock Units or any right or benefit under this Plan, other than Options or SARs, shall provide that the Grantee may not dispose of any such Awards (or the underlying Shares) for a minimum restriction period of one year from the date of grant; provided, however, that the Administrator may provide for earlier termination of such restriction period in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to 5% of the Maximum Number of Shares available for allotment and issuance, transfer or delivery as either unrestricted Shares or Deferred Stock Units under the Plan (the "Excepted Shares") shall not be subject to the minimum one-year restriction period described in the preceding sentence, it being understood that the Administrator may, in its discretion, and at the time an Award is granted, designate any Shares that are subject to such Award as Excepted Shares; provided that, in no event shall the Administrator designate any such Shares as Excepted Shares after the time such Award is granted.

In addition, at the discretion of the Administrator, the Company may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement that the Shares are subject to a right of first refusal or a right to repurchase by the Company at the Shares' Fair Market Value at the time of sale. The terms and conditions of any such rights or other restrictions shall be set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing the Award.

22.                    CERTIFICATES

                        All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed or quoted.

23.                    ESCROW; PLEDGE OF SHARES

                        To enforce any restrictions on a Grantee's Shares, the Administrator may require the Grantee to deposit all certificates representing Shares, together with stock powers or other instruments of transfer approved by the Administrator, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow until such restrictions have lapsed or terminated, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends referencing such restrictions to be placed on the certificates.

- 32 -

24.                    SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

                        Compliance With Applicable Law

24.1                     An Award shall not be effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, as they are in effect on the Grant Date and also on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares under this Plan prior to (i) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and/or (ii) completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal laws or rulings of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification or listing requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company shall have no liability for any inability or failure to do so. Evidences of ownership of Shares acquired pursuant to an Award shall bear any legend required by, or useful for purposes of compliance with, applicable securities laws, this Plan or the Award Agreement.

                        During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that Awards pursuant to this Plan and the exercise of Awards granted hereunder shall qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of this Plan or action by the Board or the Administrator does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed inoperative to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Board or the Administrator, and shall not affect the validity of this Plan. In the event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Administrator may exercise its discretion to modify this Plan in any respect necessary to satisfy the requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the revised exemption or its replacement.

                        Investment Representation

24.2                     As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any Applicable Laws.

25.                    NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY

                        Nothing in this Plan or any Award granted under this Plan shall confer or be deemed to confer on any Grantee any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or to limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate such Grantee's employment or other relationship at any time, with or without Cause.

- 33 -

26.                    EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN

                               This Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten years unless sooner terminated.

27.                    SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

                        This Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within 12 months from the date the Plan is adopted by the Company's Board for any and all intended Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. The Administrator may grant Awards under this Plan prior to approval by the shareholders, however, until such approval is obtained, all Option Awards granted under this Plan shall be deemed Non-Qualified Stock Options. In the event that shareholder approval is not obtained within the 12 month period provided above, all Incentive Stock Option Awards previously granted under this Plan shall be deemed Non-Qualified Stock Options.

28.                    AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN OR AWARDS

                        The Board may amend, suspend or terminate this Plan at any time and for any reason. To the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required. Shareholder approval shall be required for the following types of amendments to this Plan: (i) any change to those persons who are entitled to become participants under the Plan which would have the potential of broadening or increasing Insider participation; or (ii) the addition of any form of financial assistance or amendment to a financial assistance provision which is more favourable to Grantees.

                        Further, the Board may, in its discretion, determine that any amendment should be effective only if approved by the shareholders even if such approval is not expressly required by this Plan or by law. No Award may be granted during any suspension of this Plan or after termination of this Plan.

                        Any amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan shall not affect Awards already granted, and such Awards shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended, suspended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Grantee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Grantee and the Company. At any time and from time to time, the Administrator may amend, modify, or terminate any outstanding Award or Award Agreement without approval of the Grantee; provided, however, that subject to the applicable Award Agreement, no such amendment, modification or termination shall, without the Grantee's consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination.

- 34 -

                        Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Administrator shall have broad authority to amend this Plan or any outstanding Award under this Plan without approval of the Grantee to the extent necessary or desirable: (i) to comply with, or take into account changes in, applicable tax laws, securities laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws, rules and regulations; or (ii) to ensure that an Award is not subject to interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code or the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

                        Further, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, and subject to Applicable Law, the Administrator may, in its absolute discretion, amend or modify this Plan: (i) to make amendments which are of a "housekeeping" or clerical nature; (ii) to change the vesting provisions of an Award granted hereunder, as applicable; (iii) to change the termination provision of an Award granted hereunder, as applicable, which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date of such Award; and (iv) 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 Maximum Number.

29.                    RESERVATION OF SHARES

                        The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Plan.

                        The Shares to be issued hereunder upon exercise of an Award may be either authorized but unissued; supplied to the Plan through acquisitions of Shares on the open market; or Shares forfeited back to the Plan.

                        The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

30.                    BUYOUT OF AWARDS

                        Subject to Section 4.2 hereof, the Administrator may at any time buy from a Grantee an Award previously granted with payment in cash, Shares (including Restricted Stock) or other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator and the Grantee may agree.

31.                    APPLICABLE TRADING POLICY

                        The Administrator and each Eligible Participant will ensure that all actions taken and decisions made by the Administrator or an Eligible Participant, as the case may be, pursuant to this Plan comply with any Applicable Laws and policies of the Company relating to insider trading or "blackout" periods.

32.                    GOVERNING LAW

                        The Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada; provided, however, that any Award Agreement may provide by its terms that it shall be governed by the laws of any other jurisdiction as may be deemed appropriate by the parties thereto.

- 35 -

33.                    MISCELLANEOUS

                        Except as specifically provided in a retirement or other benefit plan of the Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not a "Retirement Plan" or "Welfare Plan" under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

(c)       as a result of the Eligible Director's death or Disability; or

A stock certificate or certificates shall be registered and issued in the name of the holder of Deferred Stock Units and delivered to such holder as soon as practicable after such Deferred Stock Units have become payable or satisfied in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
