Long-term Incentive Plan

The Company has an equity incentive plan ("Plan") in accordance with the policies of the TSXV whereby, from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors (the "Board"), eligible directors, officers and employees are awarded restricted share units ("RSUs"). The RSUs that are subject to, among other things, the recipient’s deferral right in accordance with the Income Tax Act (Canada) convert automatically into common shares upon vesting. In addition, the Company may issue deferred share units ("DSUs"). DSUs may be redeemed upon retirement or termination from the Company. In accordance with the Plan, the aggregate number of common shares to be issued shall not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at any given time when combined with the aggregate number of options, RSUs and DSUs issued pursuant to the Plan and any other equity compensation arrangements.
