(a)

Subject to the sole discretion of the Board, all Covered RSUs shall vest as of the effective date of such Change in Control; PROVIDED THAT where a Grant was made to a person providing Investor Relations Activities, the Board’s declaration that such RSU Shares be vested, is subject to prior approval of the Exchange. The Board shall give each Participant as much notice as possible of the acceleration of the vesting of the RSUs under this section, except that not less than 5 business days and not more than 35 days’ notice is required; and

(b)

each Participant shall, on the Release Date which would have applied had the Change in Control not occurred, be entitled to receive from the Corporation, in full settlement of an RSU covered by such Grant, one of the following, at the sole discretion of the Committee, for each Covered RSU:

Under no circumstances shall a Grant of an RSU be considered a Common Share, nor shall a Grant of an RSU entitle any Participant to the exercise of voting rights, the receipt of dividends or the exercise of any other rights attaching to ownership of a Common Share, until delivery of an RSU Share in settlement of such RSU in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine the extent to which a Participant may be entitled to exercise any voting rights, receive dividends or exercise any other rights attaching to ownership of such Common Shares.

6.10 RSU Shares Fully Paid

RSU Shares, if issued by the Corporation to settle RSUs under the Plan, shall be considered fully paid in consideration of past service that is no less in value than the fair equivalent of the money the Corporation would have received if the RSU Shares had been issued for money.

13

ARTICLE 7

EFFECTS OF ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

7.1 Adjustments

In the event that:

(a)	a dividend shall be declared upon the Common Shares payable in Common Shares of the Corporation;
(b)	the outstanding Common Shares shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Corporation or of another corporation, whether through an arrangement, plan of arrangement, amalgamation or other similar statutory procedure, or a share recapitalization, subdivision or consolidation;

Participation in the Plan by a Designated Person is voluntary. No Director, Officer, Employee or Consultant shall have any claim or right to receive Grants under the Plan. The Grant and issuance of RSUs under the Plan (i) shall not be construed as giving a Participant any right to continue in the employment or service of the Corporation or a Related Entity or to be re-elected as a Director or to receive any additional Grants, or (ii) affect the right of the Corporation or a Related Entity to terminate the employment or service of any Participant.

The Corporation shall make any withholdings or deductions in respect of withholding taxes as required by law or the interpretation or administration thereof. The Corporation or the Administrator shall be entitled to make arrangements to sell a sufficient number of RSU Shares to be issued pursuant to the Plan to fund the payment and remittance of withholding taxes that are required to be deducted or withheld and any associated costs (including brokerage fees). The Corporation or the Administrator shall also have the right to withhold the delivery of any RSUs and RSU Shares to a Participant hereunder unless and until such Participant pays to the Corporation a sum sufficient to indemnify the Corporation for any liability to withhold tax in respect of the amounts included in the income of such Participant as a result of the settlement of RSUs under the Plan, to the extent that such tax is not otherwise being withheld from payments to such Participant by the Corporation or the Administrator. The Participant may also make other arrangements acceptable to the Corporation to fund the required tax remittance.

10.3 Governing Law

The Plan, the issuance and settlements of RSUs hereunder, and the issue and delivery of Common Shares hereunder upon settlement shall be, as applicable, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

10.4 Non-Exclusivity

Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Corporation from adopting such other share incentive or compensation arrangements as it shall deem advisable.
