Exercise of Options. Options may be exercised by delivery to the Company of a notice of exercise in a form of notice (which may be electronic) approved by the Company, together with payment in full (in a manner specified in Section 5(f)) of the exercise price for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised. Shares of Common Stock subject to the Option will be delivered by the Company as soon as practicable following exercise.

Exercise of Options. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Award agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time to time any part, of the Shares for which it is then exercisable. For purposes of this Section 6, the exercise date of an Option shall be the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company, together with provision for payment of the full purchase price in accordance with this [Section 6(c)]. The purchase price for the Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company, as designated by the Committee, pursuant to one or more of the following methods: # in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by check); # in Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee; provided, that such Shares have been held by the Participant for no less than six months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted accounting principles); # partly in cash and partly in such Shares or # if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such Sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased. No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and, if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan.

Exercise of Options. Subject to Section 5(c), each Stock Option Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Participant’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any executors or administrators of the Participant’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Participant by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant.

Exercise of this Option shall be made upon delivery to the Company pursuant to [Section 8], of # this Stock Option Agreement; # a duly completed and executed election notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Election Notice”) and # payment of the Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made at the option of the Option Holder either # in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to Exercise Price per share in effect at the time of exercise multiplied by the number of Option Shares specified in the Election Notice, or # through a cashless exercise provided in Section 4(b) below. The Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) business days after the “Date of Exercise,” as defined herein) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to the Option Holder in such name or names as the Option Holder may designate in the Election Notice, a certificate for the Option Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as required by the 1933 Act, as applicable. Any person so designated by the Option Holder to receive Option Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Option Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Option. All Option Shares delivered to the Option Holder the Company covenants, shall upon due exercise of this Option, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, an option granted hereunder may not be exercised until the earlier of # twelve (12) months from the date of grant and # the date of the annual meeting of stockholders next following the date of grant.

Exercise of Options. Options awarded under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall approve, either at the time of grant of such Options or pursuant to a general determination, and which need not be the same for all Participants. Each Option which is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, and each Option which is intended to qualify as another type of ISO which may subsequently be authorized by law, shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to such Options. The Committee shall determine the period of time during which an Option may be exercised, which such period shall be specifically set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable after ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of an ISO granted to an employee who is a Ten-Percent Shareholder on the date of grant).

an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall in no event be exercisable after five (5) years from the Date of Grant, and all other Options shall in no event be exercisable after ten (10) years from the Date of Grant; provided, that for so long as the Shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange, no Option shall be granted having a term in excess of five years or such other period as provided under the rules of such exchange at the time of grant.

Options. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Administrator will determine all terms and conditions of each Option, including but not limited to: # whether the Option is an “incentive stock option” which meets the requirements of Code Section 422, or a “nonqualified stock option” which does not meet the requirements of Code Section 422; # the grant date, which may not be any day prior to the date that the Administrator approves the grant; # the number of Shares subject to the Option; # the exercise price, which may not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option as determined on the date of grant; # the terms and conditions of vesting and exercise; and # the term, except that an Option must terminate no later than ten (10) years after the date of grant. In all other respects, the terms of any incentive stock option should comply with the provisions of Code Section 422 except to the extent the Administrator determines otherwise. Except to the extent Administrator determines otherwise, a Participant may exercise an Option in whole or part after the right to exercise the Option has accrued, provided that any partial exercise must be for one hundred (100) Shares or multiples thereof. If an Option that is intended to be an incentive stock option fails to meet the requirements thereof, the Option shall automatically be treated as a nonqualified stock option to the extent of such failure.

Options. (i) Grant. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants with such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. The Award Agreement shall specify:
