|
|
|
2.1
|
Grants
|
|
|
Subject
to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall have the authority to issue
Options to Eligible Persons and to determine the limitations, restrictions and
conditions, if any, in addition to those set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3,
applicable to such grant and the exercise of such Options,
including:
|
(a)
|
the
nature and duration of any restrictions on the exercise of such Options or
the sale or other disposition of Common Shares acquired upon exercise of
such Options; and
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
the
nature of the events, if any, and the duration of the period in which any
Participant’s rights in respect of Common Shares acquired upon exercise of
an Option may be forfeited.
|
|
|
|
An
Eligible Person may receive Options on more than one occasion under the Plan and
may receive separate Options on any one occasion.
The Board
shall establish the exercise price for each Option at the time such Option is
granted. The exercise price of any Option granted by the Board shall
not be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock
Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the grant of the
Option.
The
exercise price shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions
of Subsection 1.4(e).
2.3
|
Exercise of
Options
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
Subject
to Subsections 2.3(c), (e) and (f), all Options granted by the Board shall
expire and be of no further force or effect on the first to occur of: (i)
the 10
th
anniversary of the date of the grant of the Option; and (ii) such earlier
date as the Board may determine at the time of grant of the Option (the
“Expiry Date”).
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
The
Board may determine when any Option will become exercisable and may
determine that the Option shall be exercisable in
instalments.
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
In
the event that the Expiry Date of any Option would otherwise occur during
or within 10 Business Days following the end of a period in which the
trading of the Common Shares is restricted by the policies of the
Corporation (a “Blackout Period”), then the Expiry Date of such Option
shall be extended to the date which is the tenth (10
th
)
Business Day following the expiration of the Blackout
Period.
|
|
|
|
|
(d)
|
Options
shall not be transferable by the Participant otherwise than on death by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable
during the lifetime of a Participant only by the Participant and after
death only by the Participant’s legal representative.
|
|
|
|
|
(e)
|
Unless
otherwise determined by the Board or provided in an employment agreement
between the Corporation and the Participant, if any portion of an Option
held by the Participant is not vested by the Termination Date, that
portion of the Option shall expire and may not under any circumstances be
exercised by the Participant. Without limitation, and for
greater certainty only, this provision will apply regardless of whether
the Participant was dismissed with or without cause and regardless of
whether the Participant received compensation in respect of dismissal or
was entitled to a period of notice of termination which would otherwise
have permitted a greater portion of the Option to vest with the
Participant.
|
|
|
|
|
(f)
|
Unless
otherwise determined by the Board, if a Participant ceases to be an
Eligible Person for any reason other than death, each Option held by the
Participant and vested on the Termination Date shall continue to be
exercisable until the Expiry Date.
|
|
|
|
|
(g)
|
Subject
to Subsection 2.3(a) and unless otherwise determined by the Board, if a
Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of death, each
Option held by the Participant and vested on the Termination Date shall
cease to be exercisable 24 months after the Termination
Date.
|
|
|
|
|
(h)
|
Each
Option shall be confirmed by an option agreement executed by the
Corporation and by the Participant.
|
|
|
|
|
(i)
|
Except
as set forth in Subsection 2.3(j), the exercise price of each Common Share
purchased under an Option shall be paid in full in cash or by bank draft
or certified cheque at the time of such exercise, and upon receipt of
payment in full, but subject
|
-6-
|
|
to
the terms of the Plan, the number of Common Shares in respect of which the
Option is exercised shall be duly issued as fully paid and
non-assessable.
|
|
|
|
|
(j)
|
In
lieu of exercising an Option in accordance with Subsection 2.3(i), the
Board may permit a Participant to elect to receive, without payment by the
Participant of any additional consideration, Common Shares equal to the
value of the Option (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender
of the Option at the principal office of the Corporation, together with
written notice reflecting such “cashless” exercise, in which event the
Corporation shall issue to the Participant a number of Common Shares
computed using the following formula:
|
|
|
|
|
|
X
=
|
Y
(A – B)
|
|
|
|
|
A
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
X
=
|
The
number of Common Shares to be issued to the Participant pursuant to the
cashless exercise;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Y
=
|
The
number of Common Shares in respect of which the cashless exercise election
is made;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A
=
|
The
fair market value of one Common Share in the date of exercise of the
Option; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
B
=
|
The
exercise price of the Option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For
the purposes of this Subsection, the fair market value of one Common Share
as of a particular date shall be the volume weighted average trading price
of one Common Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange over the period of 5
consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day
prior to the particular cashless exercise date. Upon a cashless
exercise in accordance with this Subsection, the number of Common Shares
which may be issued under this Plan shall be reduced by the number of
Shares referred to above as “X” and not the number referred to as
“Y”.

legal or equitable right against the Corporation whatsoever other than as
set forth in the Plan and upon the exercise of any
Option.
|
|
|

|
(c)
|
The
Plan does not give any Participant or Eligible Person the right or
obligation to continue to serve as a director, officer or employee of the
Corporation or any
|
|
|
corporation
that is an associate, affiliate or subsidiary of the
Corporation. The awarding of Options to any Eligible Person is
a matter to be determined solely in the discretion of the

restrict or constrain the Board with regard to the issue of Common Shares
or any other securities in the capital of the
Corporation.
|
