Each Option will also be subject to, in addition to the provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions contained in the schedules, if any, attached to the Option Certificate for such Option. Should the terms and conditions contained in such schedules be inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, such terms and conditions will supersede the provisions of the Plan.

SECTION 3

PURPOSE AND PARTICIPATION

3.1	Purpose of Plan

The purpose of the Plan is to provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified Executives, Employees and Consultants to contribute toward the long term goals of the Company, and to encourage such individuals to acquire Shares of the Company as long term investments.

3.2	Participation in Plan

The Committee shall, from time to time and in its sole discretion, determine those Executives, Employees and Consultants to whom Options are to be granted, subject to the provisions of section 2.1 hereof, and provided that only a committee of the Board comprised of directors who qualify as independent directors (within the meaning of the independence rules of any applicable securities exchange where the Shares are then listed) may grant awards to Directors who are not also employees of the Company or an affiliate of the Company.

3.3	Limits on Option Grants

The following limitations shall apply to the Plan and all Options thereunder:

(a)	the maximum number of Options which may be granted to any one Option Holder under the Plan within any 12 month period shall be 5% of the Outstanding Issue (unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval if required by Regulatory Rules);

3.4	Notification of Grant

Following the granting of an Option, the Administrator shall, within a reasonable period of time, notify the Option Holder in writing of the grant and shall enclose with such notice the Option Certificate representing the Option so granted.

Each Option Holder, concurrently with the notice of the grant of the Option, shall be provided with a copy of the Plan.

The Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company which approval will be within 12 months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

3.6	Limitation on Service

The Plan does not give any Option Holder that is an Executive the right to serve or continue to serve as an Executive of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor does it give any Option Holder that is an Employee or Consultant the right to be or to continue to be employed or engaged by the Company or any Subsidiary. In addition, the Company or an affiliate may at any time dismiss an Option Holder from employment free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or any Option, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any award agreement. Nothing in this Plan shall confer on any person any legal or equitable right against the Company or any affiliate, directly or indirectly, or give rise to any cause of action at law or in equity against the Company or an affiliate. Under no circumstances shall any person ceasing to be an employee of the Company or any affiliate be entitled to any compensation for any loss of any right or benefit under the Plan which such employee might otherwise have enjoyed but for termination of employment, whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful or unfair dismissal, breach of contract or otherwise. By participating in the Plan, each Option Holder shall be deemed to have accepted all the conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of any rules and regulations adopted by the Committee and shall be fully bound thereby.

3.7	No Obligation to Exercise

Option Holders shall be under no obligation to exercise Options.

3.8

Agreement

The Company and every Option Holder granted an Option hereunder shall be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. By accepting an Option granted hereunder, the Option Holder has expressly agreed with the Company to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Plan. In the event that the Option Holder is promised his, her or its Options pursuant to an oral or written agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary, whether such agreement is an employment agreement, consulting agreement or any other kind of agreement of any kind whatsoever, the Option Holder acknowledges that in the event of any inconsistency between the terms relating to the grant of such Options in that agreement and the terms attaching to the Options as provided for in this Plan, the terms provided for in this Plan shall prevail and the other agreement shall be deemed to have been amended accordingly.

3.9

Notice

Any notice, delivery or other correspondence of any kind whatsoever to be provided by the Company to an Option Holder will be deemed to have been provided if provided to the last home address, fax number or email address of the Option Holder in the records of the Company and the Company shall be under no obligation to confirm receipt or delivery.

3.10	Representation

As a condition precedent to the issuance of an Option, the Company must be able to represent to the Exchange as of the Grant Date that the Option Holder is a bona fide Executive, Employee or Consultant of the Company or any Subsidiary.

SECTION 4

NUMBER OF SHARES UNDER PLAN

4.1	Number of Shares

Subject to adjustment as provided for herein and to section 12, the number of Shares which will be available for purchase pursuant to Options granted pursuant to this Plan, plus any other outstanding stock options of the Company granted pursuant to any other Company option plan or a previous stock option plan or agreement, will not exceed 10% of the Outstanding Issue. If any Option expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Shares in respect of such expired or terminated Option shall again be available for the purposes of granting Options pursuant to this Plan.

4.2	Fractional Shares

No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any Option and, if as a result of any adjustment, an Option Holder would become entitled to a fractional share, such Option Holder shall have the right to purchase only the next lowest whole number of Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made for the fractional interest.

SECTION 5

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

5.1	Exercise Period of Option

Subject to sections 5.5, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 11.4, the Grant Date and the Expiry Date of an Option shall be the dates fixed by the Committee at the time the Option is granted and shall be set out in the Option Certificate issued in respect of such Option. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted after ten (10) years from the earlier of the date this Plan was adopted by the Board or the date this Plan was approved by shareholders. The term and expiry date of an Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed ten (10) years, (and in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder Participant, it shall not exceed five (5) years) from Grant Date of such Incentive Stock Option.

5.2	Number of Shares Under Option

The number of Shares which may be purchased pursuant to an Option shall be determined by the Committee and shall be set out in the Option Certificate issued in respect of the Option.

5.3	Exercise Price of Option

The Exercise Price at which an Option Holder may purchase a Share upon the exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Committee and shall be set out in the Option Certificate issued in respect of the Option. The Exercise Price shall not be less than the Market Value of the Shares as of the Grant Date. The Market Value of the Shares for a particular Grant Date shall be determined as follows, and for Options awarded to U.S. Option Holders, the Exercise Price will not be less than such Market Value, provided however that the Committee may designate a purchase price below Market Value on the date of grant if the Option is granted in substitution for a stock option previously granted by an entity that is acquired by or merged with the Company or an affiliate of the Company:

(a)

for each organized trading facility on which the Shares are listed, Market Value will be the closing trading price of the Shares on the day immediately preceding the Grant Date, and, except with respect to Options awarded to U.S. Option Holders, may be less than this price if it is within the discounts permitted by the applicable Regulatory Authorities;

(b)

if the Company’s Shares are listed on more than one organized trading facility, the Market Value shall be the Market Value as determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) above for the primary organized trading facility on which the Shares are listed, as determined by the Committee, subject to any adjustments as may be required to secure all necessary Regulatory Approvals;

(c)

if the Company’s Shares are listed on one or more organized trading facilities but have not traded during the ten trading days immediately preceding the Grant Date, then the Market Value will be, subject to any adjustments as may be required to secure all necessary Regulatory Approvals, such value as is determined by the Committee; and

(d)

if the Company’s Shares are not listed on any organized trading facility, then the Market Value will be, subject to any adjustments as may be required to secure all necessary Regulatory Approvals, such value as is determined by the Committee to be the fair value of the Shares, taking into consideration all factors that the Committee deems appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the Shares in private transactions negotiated at arms length and any other factors required to be considered under section 409A of the Code for purposes of valuation of stock that is not traded on an established securities market. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, in no case will the Market Value be less than the minimum prescribed by each of the organized trading facilities that would apply to the Company on the Grant Date in question.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan to a Ten Percent Shareholder Participant shall be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the Shares on the Grant Date as determined in good faith by the Committee at the Grant Date.

5.4	Incentive Stock Options.

The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under this Plan as Incentive Stock Options is 50,000,000 Shares. Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to individuals who are employees of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (as defined under section 424(f) of the Code). To the extent that Options designated as Incentive Stock Options become exercisable by an Option Holder for the first time during any calendar year for Shares having a fair market value greater than US$100,000, the portion of such Options which exceeds such amount shall not be treated as Incentive Stock Options but instead shall be treated as Non-Statutory Stock Options. For the purposes of this Section 5.4, Options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the fair market value of Shares shall be determined as of the Grant Date of the Option with respect to such Shares. If the Code is amended to provide for a different limitation than that set forth in this Section 5.4, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as may be required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as a Non-Statutory Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.4, the Option Holder may designate which portion of such Option the Option Holder is exercising at any given time. In the absence of such designation, the Option Holder shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first. If the Plan is not approved by shareholders in accordance with the requirements of section 422 of the Code within twelve (12) months of the adoption of the Plan, Options otherwise designated as Incentive Stock Options will be Non-Statutory Stock Options. The Company shall have no liability to an Options Holder, or any other party, if any Option (or any part thereof) intended to be an Incentive Stock Option is not an Incentive Stock Option.

5.5	Termination of Option

Subject to such other terms or conditions that may be attached to Options granted hereunder, an Option Holder may exercise an Option in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period. Any Option or part thereof not exercised within the Exercise Period shall terminate and become null, void and of no effect as of the Expiry Time on the Expiry Date. The Expiry Date of an Option shall be the earlier of the date so fixed by the Committee at the time the Option is granted as set out in the Option Certificate and the date established, if applicable, in paragraphs (a) or (b) below or sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, or 11.4 of this Plan:

(a)

Ceasing to Hold Office—In the event that the Option Holder holds his or her Option as an Executive and such Option Holder ceases to hold such position other than by reason of death or Disability, the Expiry Date of the Option shall be, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the 30th day following the date the Option Holder ceases to hold such position unless the Option Holder ceases to hold such position as a result of:

(i)

ceasing to meet the qualifications set forth in the corporate legislation applicable to the Company;

(ii)

a special resolution having been passed by the shareholders of the Company removing the Option Holder as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary; or

(iii)

an order made by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction to so order, in which case the Expiry Date shall be the date the Option Holder ceases to hold such position; OR

(b)

Ceasing to be Employed or Engaged - In the event that the Option Holder holds his or her Option as an Employee or Consultant and such Option Holder ceases to hold such position other than by reason of death or Disability, the Expiry Date of the Option shall be, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the 30th day following the date the Option Holder ceases to hold such position, unless the Option Holder ceases to hold such position as a result of:

(i)

termination for cause;

(ii)

resigning his or her position; or

(iii)

an order made by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction to so order, in which case the Expiry Date shall be the date the Option Holder ceases to hold such position.

In the event that the Option Holder ceases to hold the position of Executive, Employee or Consultant for which the Option was originally granted, but comes to hold a different position as an Executive, Employee or Consultant prior to the expiry of the Option, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, choose to permit the Option to stay in place for that Option Holder with such Option then to be treated as being held by that Option Holder in his or her new position and such will not be considered to be an amendment to the Option in question requiring the consent of the Option Holder under section 9.2 of this Plan. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, in no case will an Option be exercisable later than the Expiry Date of the Option.

5.6	Vesting of Option and Acceleration

The vesting schedule for an Option, if any, shall be determined by the Committee and shall be set out in the Option Certificate issued in respect of the Option. The Committee may elect, at any time, to accelerate the vesting schedule of one or more Options including, without limitation, on a Triggering Event, and such acceleration will not be considered an amendment to the Option in question requiring the consent of the Option Holder under section 9.2 of this Plan.

5.7	Additional Terms

Subject to all applicable Regulatory Rules and all necessary Regulatory Approvals, the Committee may attach additional terms and conditions to the grant of a particular Option, such terms and conditions to be set out in a schedule attached to the Option Certificate. The Option Certificates will be issued for convenience only, and in the case of a dispute with regard to any matter in respect thereof, the provisions of this Plan and the records of the Company shall prevail over the terms and conditions in the Option Certificate, save and except as noted below. Each Option will also be subject to, in addition to the provisions of the Plan, the terms and conditions contained in the schedules, if any, attached to the Option Certificate for such Option. Should the terms and conditions contained in such schedules be inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, such terms and conditions will supersede the provisions of the Plan.

Employment or engagement by the Company shall be deemed to continue intact during any military or sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days or, if longer, for so long as the Option Holder’s right to re-employment or re-engagement by the Company is guaranteed either by statute or by contract. If the period of such leave exceeds 90 days and the Option Holder’s re-employment or re-engagement is not so guaranteed, then his or her employment or engagement shall be deemed to have terminated on the ninety-first day of such leave.

SECTION 7

EXERCISE OF OPTION

7.1	Exercise of Option

An Option may be exercised only by the Option Holder or the Personal Representative of any Option Holder. An Option Holder or the Personal Representative of any Option Holder may exercise an Option in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period up to the Expiry Time on the Expiry Date by delivering to the Administrator the required Exercise Notice, the applicable Option Certificate and a certified cheque or bank draft or wire transfer payable to the Company or its legal counsel or, at the discretion of the Company, by payment of the exercise price through broker-assisted cashless exercise, tender of previously owned Shares with a fair market value equal to the exercise price, net exercise (except with respect to Incentive Stock Options) and any other method permitted under the terms of the Option Certificate and attached schedules or as may be approved by the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares then being purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, Options may not be exercised during a Black-Out unless the Committee determines otherwise.

7.2	Black Out Period

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case of Incentive Stock Options, if an Option expires, terminates or is cancelled (other than an expiry, termination or cancellation pursuant to section 5.5(a)(i), (ii), or (iii) or section 5.5(b)(i), (ii), or (iii) above) within or immediately after a Black Out, the term of such Option shall be extended to the date which is ten (10) business days after the last day of the Black Out; provided, that, the expiration date as extended by this section 7.2 will not in any event be beyond the later of: (i) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Option was otherwise due to expire; and (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the month in which the Option was otherwise due to expire.

7.3	Issue of Share Certificates

As soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Administrator shall cause to be delivered to the Option Holder a certificate for the Shares so purchased. If the number of Shares so purchased is less than the number of Shares subject to the Option Certificate surrendered, the Administrator shall also provide a new Option Certificate for the balance of Shares available under the Option to the Option Holder concurrent with delivery of the certificate for the Shares.

7.4	No Rights as Shareholder

Until the date of the issuance of the certificate for the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to such Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option, unless the Committee determines otherwise. In the event of any dispute over the date of the issuance of the certificates, the decision of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding.

7.5	No Right to Employment; Other Benefits

No compensation or benefit awarded to or realized by any Option Holder under the Plan shall be included for the purpose of computing such Option Holder’s compensation or benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, disability, severance, termination pay, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company, unless required by law or otherwise provided by such other plan.

7.6	Tax Withholding and Procedures

Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Plan, the Company may, from time to time, implement such procedures and conditions as it determines appropriate with respect to the withholding and remittance of taxes imposed under applicable law, or the funding of related amounts for which liability may arise under such applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Option Holder who wishes to exercise an Option must, in addition to following the procedures set out in 7.1 and elsewhere in this Plan, and as a condition of exercise:

(a)	deliver a certified cheque, wire transfer or bank draft payable to the Company for the amount determined by the Company to be the appropriate amount on account of such taxes or related amounts;

(b)	otherwise ensure, in a manner acceptable to the Company (if at all) in its sole and unfettered discretion, that the amount will be securely funded; or

(c)	and must in all other respects follow any related procedures and conditions imposed by the Company.

7.7	No trust Fund Created

Neither the Plan nor any Option shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any affiliate and an Option Holder or any other Person or Entity. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any affiliate pursuant to an award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any affiliate.

APPROVALS AND AMENDMENT

9.1	Shareholder Approval of Plan

If required by a Regulatory Authority or by the Committee, this Plan may be made subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company as prescribed by the Regulatory Authority. If shareholder approval is required, any Options granted under this Plan prior to such time will not be exercisable or binding on the Company unless and until such shareholder approval is obtained.

9.2	Amendment of Option or Plan

Subject to any required Regulatory Approvals, the Committee may from time to time amend any existing Option or the Plan (provided that with respect to Options of U.S. Option Holders such amendment will be undertaken only if it will not cause adverse tax consequences under section 409A of the Code) or the terms and conditions of any Option thereafter to be granted provided that where such amendment relates to an existing Option and it would:

(a)	materially decrease the rights or benefits accruing to an Option Holder; or

(b)

materially increase the obligations of an Option Holder; then, unless otherwise excepted out by a provision of this Plan, the Committee must also obtain the written consent of the Option Holder in question to such amendment. If at the time the Exercise Price of an Option is reduced the Option Holder is an Insider of the Company, the Insider must not exercise the option at the reduced Exercise Price until the reduction in Exercise Price has been approved by the disinterested shareholders of the Company, if required by the Exchange.

SECTION 10

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ISSUANCE OF OPTIONS AND SHARES

10.1	Compliance with Laws

An Option shall not be granted or exercised, and Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Option, unless the grant and exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with all applicable Regulatory Rules, and such Options and Shares will be subject to all applicable trading restrictions in effect pursuant to such Regulatory Rules and the Company shall be entitled to legend the Option Certificates and the certificates representing such Shares accordingly.

10.2	Regulatory Approvals

In administering this Plan, the Committee will seek any Regulatory Approvals which may be required. The Committee will not permit any Options to be granted without first obtaining the necessary Regulatory Approvals unless such Options are granted conditional upon such Regulatory Approvals being obtained. The Committee will make all filings required with the Regulatory Authorities in respect of the Plan and each grant of Options hereunder. No Option granted will be exercisable or binding on the Company unless and until all necessary Regulatory Approvals have been obtained. The Committee shall be entitled to amend this Plan and the Options granted hereunder in order to secure any necessary Regulatory Approvals and such amendments will not require the consent of the Option Holders under section 9.2 of this Plan.

10.3	Inability to Obtain Regulatory Approvals

The Company’s inability to obtain Regulatory Approval from any applicable Regulatory Authority, which Regulatory Approval is deemed by the Committee to be necessary to complete the grant of Options hereunder, the exercise of those Options or the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares pursuant to such Options, shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the failure to complete such transaction.

SECTION 11

ADJUSTMENTS AND TERMINATION

11.1	Termination of Plan

Subject to any necessary Regulatory Approvals, the Committee may terminate or suspend the Plan. Unless earlier terminated as provided in this section 11, the Plan shall terminate on, and no more Options shall be granted under the Plan after, the tenth anniversary of the date of the Board’s adoption of the Plan.

11.2	No Grant During Suspension of Plan

No Option may be granted during any suspension, or after termination, of the Plan. Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Option Holder, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option previously granted.

11.3	Alteration in Capital Structure

If there is a material alteration in the capital structure of the Company and the Shares are consolidated, subdivided, converted, exchanged, reclassified or in any way substituted for, the Committee shall make such adjustments to this Plan and to the Options then outstanding under this Plan as the Committee determines to be appropriate and equitable under the circumstances, so that the proportionate interest of each Option Holder shall, to the extent practicable, be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Such adjustments may include, without limitation:

(a)	a change in the number or kind of shares of the Company covered by such Options; and

(b)

a change in the Exercise Price payable per Share provided, however, that the aggregate Exercise Price applicable to the unexercised portion of existing Options shall not be altered, it being intended that any adjustments made with respect to such Options shall apply only to the Exercise Price per Share and the number of Shares subject thereto.

For purposes of this section 11.3, and without limitation, neither:

(c)	the issuance of additional securities of the Company in exchange for adequate consideration (including services); nor

(d)

the conversion of outstanding securities of the Company into Shares shall be deemed to be material alterations of the capital structure of the Company. Any adjustment made to any Options pursuant to this section 11.3 shall not be considered an amendment requiring the Option Holder’s consent for the purposes of section 9.2 of this Plan.

11.4	Triggering Events

Subject to the Company complying with section 11.5 and any necessary Regulatory Approvals and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan or any Option Certificate, the Committee may, without the consent of the Option Holder or Option Holders in question:

(a)	cause all or a portion of any of the Options granted under the Plan to terminate upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event; or

(b)

cause all or a portion of any of the Options granted under the Plan to be exchanged for incentive stock options of another corporation upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event in such ratio and at such exercise price as the Committee deems appropriate, acting reasonably, and in the case of Options held by U.S. Option Holders, in a manner that complies with the requirements of U.S. Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D), and with respect to Incentive Stock Options, with U.S. U.S. Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.424-1(a)(5). Such termination or exchange shall not be considered an amendment requiring the Option Holder’s consent for the purpose of section 9.2 of the Plan.

11.5	Notice of Termination by Triggering Event

In the event that the Committee wishes to cause all or a portion of any of the Options granted under this Plan to terminate on the occurrence of a Triggering Event, it must give written notice to the Option Holders in question not less than 10 days prior to the consummation of a Triggering Event so as to permit the Option Holder the opportunity to exercise the vested portion of the Options prior to such termination. Upon the giving of such notice and subject to any necessary Regulatory Approvals, all Options or portions thereof granted under the Plan which the Company proposes to terminate shall become immediately exercisable notwithstanding any contingent vesting provision to which such Options may have otherwise been subject.

11.6	Determinations to be Made By Committee

Adjustments and determinations under this section 11 shall be made by the Committee, whose decisions as to what adjustments or determination shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

SECTION 12

ADJUSTMENTS AND TERMINATION

12.1	Maximum Number of Options

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the maximum number of options the committee can grant is 10% of the number of Class A Shares, which for clarity, includes the number of Shares issuable on conversion of the Class B Proportionate Voting Shares and the Class C Multiple Voting Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum number of stock options granted under this Plan and any other Company equity incentive plan must not exceed 10% of the Outstanding Issue.

SECTION 13

CALIFORNIA OPTIONS

13.1	California Options

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the provisions of this section 13 shall apply to any award granted or proposed to be granted to a Person in California, unless such award is otherwise exempt from the applicable securities laws of California (a “California Award”).

13.2	Termination Date

A California Award may not be exercised more than 10 years after the grant date and any award agreement shall terminate on or before the 10th anniversary of the date of grant.

13.3	Post-Termination Exercise Period

Unless employment is terminated for cause as defined by applicable law, the terms of the Plan or award agreement or a contract of employment, the right to exercise an Option by a Participant in California in the event of termination of employment of the Participant, to the extent that the Participant is entitled to exercise on the date employment terminates, continues until at least the earlier of the expiration of the Term of Option or:

(a)	at least six months from the date of termination, if termination was caused by death or disability; or

(b)	at least 30 days from the date of termination, if termination was caused by other than death or disability.

13.4	Shareholder Approval / Grant Limitations

The Company will not grant California Awards unless:

(a)

the Company is a foreign private issuer, as defined by Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act, on the grant date of the California Award, and the aggregate number of persons in California granted awards under all compensation plans and agreements and issued securities under all purchase and bonus plans and agreements of the Company does not exceed 35; or

(b)

prior to or within 12 months of the granting of the first California Award under the Plan and prior to increasing the number of Authorized Shares, the Plan is approved by a majority of the Company’s outstanding securities entitled to vote, not counting for the purpose of calculating such vote any securities issued upon exercise or vesting of awards granted in California.

Awards granted prior to security holder approval of the Plan or in excess of the Authorized Shares previously approved by the security holders shall become exercisable no earlier than the date of shareholder approval of the Plan or such increase in the Authorized Shares, as the case may be, and such awards shall be rescinded if such security holder approval is not received in the manner described in Section 13.4.

13.5	Company Information

The Company shall furnish summary financial information (audited or unaudited) of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, consistent with the requirements of applicable law, at least annually to each Participant in California during the period such Participant has one or more awards outstanding, and in the case of an individual who acquired Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such Participant owns such Shares; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to provide such information if (i) the issuance is limited to key persons whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information or (ii) the Plan or any agreement complies with all conditions of Rule 701 of the Securities Act; provided that for purposes of determining such compliance, any registered domestic partner shall be considered a “family member” as that term is defined in Rule 701.

(a)

Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) may be issued only to individuals who are employees of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (as defined under section 424(f) of the Code) (“U.S. Employees”).

(b)

If a U.S. Option Holder has been granted an ISO and ceases to be a U.S. Employee, then, in order to retain the status of the Option as an ISO for U.S. federal tax purposes, such Option must be exercised within the time limits set forth below. Failure to exercise an Incentive Stock Option within the following time limits will result in the Option ceasing to be an Incentive Stock Option. The limitations below are not intended to extend the term of an Option as set forth in the Plan, the applicable Option Certificate and related Schedules. The limitations below merely reflect the period during which an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option must be exercised (assuming it otherwise could be exercised during such period) in order retain Incentive Stock Option tax treatment. If an ISO ceases to be an ISO by virtue of failure to timely exercise the Option as described above, but the Option remains exercisable pursuant to its terms, the Option will be treated as a Non-Statutory Stock Option and the provisions set forth in the Plan or the Option Certificate will apply with respect to the period during which the Option may be exercised.

•

A U.S. Option Holder who ceases to be a U.S. Employee due to Disability must exercise an ISO (to the extent such ISO was exercisable on the date of termination of employment due to Disability) within one year following the date of termination due to Disability (but in no event beyond the term of such Incentive Stock Option) in order to retain ISO tax treatment.

•

A U.S. Option Holder who ceases to be a U.S. Employee for any reason other than the death or Disability must exercise such ISO (to the extent such ISO was exercisable on the date of termination of employment) within three months following the date of termination (but in no event beyond the term of such ISO), in order to retain ISO tax treatment.

•

An Incentive Stock Option of a U.S. Participant who ceases to be a U.S. Employee by reason of death can be exercised by the estate in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable Option Certificate during the period specified in the Plan or the applicable Option Certificate without loss of ISO tax treatment (assuming other ISO requirements are met).

(c)

To the extent that an Option designated as an ISO becomes exercisable by an Option Holder for the first time during any calendar year for Shares having a fair market value greater than US$100,000 (measured by the fair market value as of the Grant Date), the portion of such Option which exceeds such amount shall not be treated as an ISO but instead shall be treated as a Non-Statutory Stock Option.
