2. SARs reflect grant of 54,842 stock appreciation rights which vest as follows: (a) as to one-third of the SARs granted, automatically upon the volume weighted average price (&quot;VWAP&quot;) of the Issuer's common shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding US$5.00 for any continuous 90-day period; (b) as to an additional one-third of the SARs granted, automatically upon the VWAP of the Issuer's common shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding US$7.00 for any continuous 90-day period; and (c) as to the final one-third granted, automatically upon the VWAP of the Issuer's common shares on the NYSE American equaling or exceeding US$10.00 for any continuous 90-day period.

3. Notwithstanding any vesting of any SARs, no SARs may be exercised until January 22, 2020, being the date that is one year after the date of grant.
