MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
Except where indicated otherwise, the following information is dated as at March 15, 2017 and all dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
The information contained in this Management Information Circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (“Oncolytics” or the “Corporation”) to be used at the annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders (the “Shareholders”) of common shares (“Common Shares”) of the Corporation to be held at the Toronto Region Board of Trade located at First Canadian Place, Suite 350 – 77 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario  M5X 1C1 on May 4, 2017 at 4:00 PM ET, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof, for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting accompanying this Circular (the “Notice of Meeting”) and in this Circular. Solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but may also be undertaken by way of telephone, facsimile or oral communication by the directors, officers and regular employees of the Corporation, at no additional compensation. Costs incurred in the preparation and mailing of this Information Circular and related materials and the costs associated with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Corporation.
APPOINTMENT OF PROXY HOLDERS
Dr. Matthew C. Coffey and Kirk J. Look (the management designees named in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy) are both officers of the Corporation. Each Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who does not need to be a Shareholder) other than Dr. Matthew C. Coffey or Kirk J. Look to attend and to act for the Shareholder and on behalf of the Shareholder at the Meeting. To exercise this right, the names of the nominees of management should be crossed out on the accompanying Instrument of Proxy and the Shareholder should insert the name of the Shareholder’s appointee in the blank space provided on the Instrument of Proxy or complete another appropriate form of proxy.
A form of proxy will not be valid unless it is deposited at the offices of Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1. Proxies may also be faxed. Faxes may be forwarded to 1-866-249-7775 for calls within Canada and the U.S. or to 416-263-9524 for calls outside Canada and the U.S. To be accepted, the proxy must be received by 4:00 PM ET on May 2, 2016 which is two days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting, or if the Meeting is adjourned, by 4:00 PM ET on the day which is two days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the date of the adjourned Meeting.
REVOCABILITY OF PROXY
A Shareholder who has submitted a form of proxy may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. A form of proxy may be revoked by the Shareholder personally attending at the Meeting and voting his or her Common Shares. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation and deposited either at the registered office of the Corporation, being

-3-
McCarthy Tétrault LLP, 4000, 421 – 7th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4K9, Attn: Michael Bennett, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the form of proxy is to be used, or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
SIGNING OF PROXY
The Instrument of Proxy must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder’s duly appointed attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney. An Instrument of Proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity (including a representative of a corporate Shareholder) should indicate that person’s capacity (following his or her signature) and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has previously been filed with the Corporation).
VOTING OF SHARES REPRESENTED BY MANAGEMENT PROXIES
All Common Shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted on any ballot that may be called for and, where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the Instrument of Proxy, the Common Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such instructions. The management designees named in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the direction of the Shareholder appointing them on any ballot that may be called for at the Meeting. In the absence of such direction, the Common Shares will be voted FOR approval of: (i) the fixing of the number of directors at six (6) for the ensuing year; (ii) the election of directors; (iii)  a new form of bylaws for the Corporation; (iv) an amended and restated stock option plan for the Corporation; (v) an amended and restated incentive share award plan for the Corporation; (vi) the reappointment of the Corporation’s current auditors, at such remuneration as may be determined by the board of directors of the Corporation; and (vii) such other matters that may come before the Meeting, all as more particularly described in this Information Circular. The accompanying Instrument of Proxy also confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments of, or variations to, the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly be brought before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Circular, the management of the Corporation knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting.
VOTING SHARES AND THE PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES
Voting of Common Shares - General
The record date for the purpose of determining holders of Common Shares is March 24, 2017 (the “Record Date”). Shareholders of record on that date are entitled to receive notice of and attend the Meeting and vote at the Meeting on the basis of one vote for each Common Share held, except to the extent that: (i) a registered Shareholder has transferred the ownership of any Common Shares subsequent to the Record Date; and (ii) the transferee of those Common Shares produces properly endorsed share certificates, or otherwise establishes that he or she owns the Common Shares and demands, not later than April 24, 2017, which is ten calendar days before the Meeting, that his or her name be included on the Shareholder list before the Meeting, in which case the transferee shall be entitled to vote his or her Common Shares at the Meeting.
The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. As at March 15, 2017, there are 121,258,222 Common Shares issued and outstanding. At the Meeting, upon a show of hands, every Shareholder present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote shall have one vote. On a poll or ballot, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy has one vote for each Common Share of which such Shareholder is the registered holder.

-4-
When any Common Share is held jointly by several persons, any one of them may vote at the Meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Common Share, but if more than one of them are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy and such joint owners of the proxy so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, the joint owner present or represented whose name appears first in the register of Shareholders maintained by Computershare Trust Company of Canada is entitled to cast such vote.
Quorum for the Meeting
At the Meeting, a quorum shall consist of two persons present in person holding or representing by proxy not less than 5% of the votes attached to all outstanding Common Shares. If a quorum is not present at the Meeting within one half hour after the time fixed for the holding of the Meeting, it shall stand adjourned to such day being not less than 21 days later and to such place and time as may be determined by the Chairman of the Meeting. At such Meeting, the Shareholders present either in person or by proxy shall form a quorum.
Approval Requirements
All of the matters to be considered at the Meeting are ordinary resolutions requiring approval by more than 50% of the votes cast in respect of the resolution by or on behalf of Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.
Principal Holders of Common Shares
To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, as at the date hereof, no persons or companies beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, shares that carry more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the issued Common Shares.
ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES
The information set forth in this section is for Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as “Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If the Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Corporation. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker’s clients. The Corporation does not know for whose benefit the Common Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held. Beneficial Shareholders cannot be recognized at the Meeting for the purposes of voting the Common Shares in person or by proxy except as set forth below. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person.
Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The purpose of the voting instruction form supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for

-5-
obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically mails a voting instruction form to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the voting instruction forms to Broadridge, in the United States and Canada. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can either call their toll free telephone number to vote their Common Shares or access Broadridge’s dedicated voting website at www.proxyvote.com to deliver their voting instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form from Broadridge cannot use that voting instruction to vote shares directly at the Meeting, as the voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.
Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his or her broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the Instrument of Proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting.
NOTICE-AND-ACCESS
We have elected to use the “notice-and-access” provisions under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (the “Notice-and-Access Provisions”) for the Meeting in respect of mailings to beneficial holders of our Common Shares (i.e., a shareholder who holds their Common Shares in the name of a broker or an agent) but not in respect of mailings to registered holders of our Common Shares (i.e., a shareholder whose name appears on our records as a holder of Common Shares). The Notice-and-Access Provisions are a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that reduce the volume of materials which are mailed to shareholders by allowing a reporting issuer to post an information circular in respect of a meeting of its shareholders and related materials online.
A paper copy of the notice of meeting, this Information Circular, and a voting direction will be mailed to those shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name but who have previously requested to receive paper copies of these materials. Furthermore, a paper copy of the financial information in respect of our most recently completed financial year was mailed to those registered and beneficial holders of our Common Shares who previously requested to receive such information.
We will be delivering proxy-related materials to non-objecting beneficial owners of our Common Shares directly with the assistance of Broadridge. We intend to pay for intermediaries to deliver proxy-related materials to objecting beneficial owners of our Common Shares.
BUSINESS OF THE MEETING
Item 1 - Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report
The audited financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2016 of the Corporation together with the auditors’ report thereon have been delivered to the Shareholders. No formal action will be taken at the Meeting to approve the financial statements. If any Shareholder has questions respecting the December 31, 2016 financial statements, the questions may be brought forward at the Meeting.
Item 2 - Fixing Number of Directors of the Corporation
The articles of the Corporation provide for a minimum of 3 directors and a maximum of 11 directors. There are currently six (6) directors. At the Meeting, Shareholders will vote, by ordinary resolution, to fix

-6-
the number of directors of the Corporation at six (6). It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy, if not expressly directed to the contrary in such Instrument of Proxy, to vote such proxies FOR the ordinary resolution to fix the number of directors at six (6).
Item 3 - Election of Directors
At the Meeting, six (6) directors are to be elected. If, prior to the Meeting, any vacancies occur in the slate of proposed nominees herein submitted, the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy intend to vote FOR the election of any substitute nominee or nominees recommended by management of the Corporation and FOR the remaining proposed nominees.
The term of office for each director of the Corporation is from the date of the Shareholders’ meeting at which he or she is elected until the next annual meeting of the Shareholders or until his or her successor is elected or appointed.
All of the nominees are now members of the Board and have been since the dates indicated below. The term of each current director’s appointment will expire at the Meeting. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy, if not expressly directed to the contrary in such Instrument of Proxy, to vote such proxies FOR the ordinary resolution to elect each of the nominees specified below as directors of the Corporation. Management of the Corporation does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director, but if that should occur for any reason at or prior to the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy reserve the right to vote for another nominee in their discretion.
The following table sets forth for all persons proposed to be nominated by management for election as directors, their province/state and country of residence, the positions and offices with the Corporation now held by them, their present principal occupation and principal occupation for the preceding five years, the periods during which they have served as directors of the Corporation and the number of Common Shares of the Corporation beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by each of them, or over which they exercise control or direction as of March 15, 2017.

Majority Voting Policy
The Board has adopted a Majority Voting Policy which relates to the election of directors. This policy requires that any nominee for director who, on a ballot taken on the election of directors, has a greater number of votes withheld from voting than the number of votes received for his or her election shall tender his or her resignation to the Chair and to the President, subject to acceptance by the Board. The policy does not apply in circumstances involving contested director elections. The Board is required to consider the resignation, having regard to the best interests of the Corporation and all factors considered relevant and to: (i) accept the resignation; (ii) maintain the director but address what the Board believes to

-8-
be the underlying cause of the withhold votes; or (iii) reject the resignation. The Board is required to make its decision and announce it in a press release within 90 days of the annual meeting, including, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting a resignation offer. A director who is required to tender a resignation under the policy will not participate in the deliberations of the Board with respect to his or her resignation unless there are fewer than three directors who are not required to tender a resignation, in which event the entire Board will proceed in making the determination. To the extent that the Board accepts one or more director resignations, the Board will also determine whether to fill any vacancy prior to the next meeting of the shareholders.
Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies
None of the above proposed directors are, or within 10 years prior to the date of this Circular have been, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company that, while such person was acting in that capacity, was subject to a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the relevant issuer access to any exemption under securities legislation, that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days.
None of the above proposed directors are, or within 10 years prior to the date of this Circular have been, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company that was subject to a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the relevant issuer access to any exemption under securities legislation, that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, that was issued after the proposed director ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer.
None of the above proposed directors are, or within 10 years prior to the date of this Circular have been, a director or executive officer of any company that, while acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.
Personal Bankruptcies
None of the above proposed directors have, within 10 years prior to the date of this Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any bankruptcy or insolvency legislation, been subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold their assets.
Penalties and Sanctions
None of the above proposed directors have been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or have entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority, or any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable securityholder in deciding whether to vote for the proposed director.
Item 4 - Approval of New By-Law No.1
Background
The Board of Directors undertook a review of the Corporation’s Bylaw No. 1 and determined that certain provisions were no longer consistent with provisions in the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the “ABCA”) or were otherwise not appropriate for a public corporation. Rather than amend such provisions, the Board repealed Bylaw No. 1 in its entirety and adopted the bylaws attached as Schedule “A” to this

-9-
Circular as the new Bylaw No. 1 of the Corporation. The new Bylaw No. 1 is considerably shorter as it does not duplicate certain provisions contained in the ABCA.
Section 102 of the ABCA provides that the directors may make, amend or repeal bylaws that regulate the business and affairs of the Corporation and that the repeal of the old Bylaws and the adoption of the new Bylaws must be submitted to Shareholders and the Shareholders by ordinary resolution may confirm, reject or amend the bylaw, amendment or repeal.
Form of Resolution
Shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to approve and ratify the repeal of the previous Bylaw No. 1 enacted and the adoption of the new Bylaw No. 1 made by the Board of Directors on March 9, 2017 by passing the following ordinary resolution:
"BE IT RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (the "Corporation") that:
(a)
the repeal of the previous By-law No. 1 of the Corporation in its entirety be and is hereby, confirmed, ratified and approved;
(b)
the adoption of the new By-law No. 1 in the form attached to the information circular for the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to be held on May 4, 2017, be and is hereby confirmed, ratified and approved as a by-law of the Corporation to be effective from the date such by-law was adopted by the board of directors of the Corporation; and
(c)
any one director or officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized for and on behalf of the Corporation to execute or cause to be executed and to deliver or cause to be delivered all such documents and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things as such director or officer may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the foregoing resolution."
Approval of the foregoing ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by the holders of Common Shares represented at the Meeting. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy, if not expressly directed to the contrary in such Instrument of Proxy, to vote such proxies FOR the ordinary resolution to confirm, ratify and approve new By-law No.1 as the bylaws of the Corporation.
Item 5 – Approval of Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan
At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, an ordinary resolution ratifying and approving an amended and restated stock option plan (the “Amended Option Plan”) for the Corporation. The following is a summary of the material amendments reflected in the Amended Option Plan as compared to the Corporation’s stock option plan (the “2015 Option Plan”), as approved at the annual and special meeting of the Shareholders held on June 8, 2015.
Amendment to Number of Common Shares Reserved for Issuance
The Corporation’s stock option plan (the “2015 Option Plan”), as approved at the annual and special meeting of the Shareholders held on June 8, 2015, provides for a fixed maximum of 11,412,394 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2015 Option Plan (together with any other security compensation arrangement of the Corporation, including the 2015 Share Award Plan (as defined below)), which as of March 15, 2017 represents approximately 9.41% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. On March 9, 2017, the Board approved the Amended Option Plan, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, which includes a change to the number of Common Shares which may be reserved for issuance thereunder such that, if such amendments are approved at the Meeting, the Amended Option Plan will provide that the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Option Plan and all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation (including the

Amended Share Award Plan, if approved at the Meeting) in aggregate shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time.
If the Amended Option Plan is approved at the Meeting, the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to stock options (“Options”) made under the Amended Option Plan, in combination with all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, including the Amended Share Award Plan, would be 12,125,822 Common Shares based on the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares as of March 15, 2017. As of March 15, 2017, there were an aggregate of 10,934,156 outstanding Options and outstanding and vested Share Awards (as defined herein), representing approximately 9.0% of the outstanding Common Shares, as follows: 8,611,327 Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Options; 900,000 Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding PSAs (as defined herein), 1,322,829 Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding RSAs (as defined herein); and 100,000 RSAs which were issued to former directors of the Corporation have vested and are no longer available for future grants. Accordingly, an aggregate of 1,191,666 Common Shares, being approximately 0.98% of the outstanding Common Shares would be available for future grants of Options and Share Awards as of March 15, 2017.
The Amended Option Plan is also a “re-loading” plan such that any Options that are exercised or cancelled will become available for the grant of subsequent Options under the plan.
Amendment to Amending Provisions
The Amended Option Plan also expands upon and clarifies the circumstances in which the Board may amend the Amended Option Plan and the terms of Options without the requirement to obtain the approval of Shareholders.  If the Amended Option Plan is approved at the Meeting, the Amended Option Plan will provide that the Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend the Amended Option Plan or any Option, subject to applicable requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and any other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed, without the consent or approval from any holder of Options or Shareholder (provided that no such amendment may be made that will materially prejudice the rights of any holder of previously granted Options without consent by such holder) including without limitation:
(a)
to amend, modify or terminate the Amended Option Plan with respect to all Common Shares in respect of Options which have not yet been granted thereunder;
(b)
to make any amendment of a "housekeeping nature", including to make any amendment  typographical, grammatical, clerical or administrative nature or clarification correcting or rectifying any ambiguity, immaterial inconsistency, defective provision, mistake, or error or omission in the Amended Option Plan or any Option;
(c)
to change the provisions relating to the manner of exercise of Options, including changing or adding any form of financial assistance provided by the Corporation or adding or amending provisions relating to a cashless exercise of Options;
(d)
accelerating vesting or extending the expiration date of any Option (provided that such Option is not held by an insider of the Corporation), provided that the period during which an Option is exercisable does not exceed 10 years from the date the Option is granted;
(e)
adding a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, whether or not providing for a full deduction of the number of underlying Common Shares from the Option Plan reserve; and
(f)
to make any addition to, deletion from or alteration of the provisions of the Amended Option Plan or any Option that are necessary to comply with applicable law, the requirements of the TSX or any other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed and to avoid unanticipated consequences deemed by the Board to be inconsistent with the purpose of the Amended Option Plan.


-11-
Increase to Limits on Annual Grants to Non-Employee Directors
The Amended Option Plan provides for an increase to the limit on the value of all Options granted to any non-management director during a calendar year, as calculated on the date of grant, from $100,000 to $150,000.
Other Amendments
The Amended Option Plan also includes certain other amendments to the 2015 Option Plan which do not require Shareholder approval, including an amendment to the meaning of the term “Change of Control” to a more typical formulation than is contained in the 2015 Option Plan, an amendment that provides that upon a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Person as a result of the termination of such Participant for cause, all Options held by such Participant shall be immediately terminated, and various “housekeeping” and clerical amendments of a non-substantive nature.
The Amended Option Plan has been approved by the TSX, subject to Shareholder approval. A summary of the 2015 Option Plan is provided below under “Equity Compensation Plan Information – 2015 Option Plan” and a copy of the Amended Option Plan is attached as Schedule “B” to this Circular. If the Amended Option Plan is not approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, the 2015 Option Plan will continue as the stock option plan of the Corporation, unamended, and the Corporation will be entitled to continue to grant Options thereunder to the extent of the limits set forth in the 2015 Option Plan.
Amended Option Plan Resolution
Shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to approve and ratify the Amended Option Plan approved by the Board of Directors on March 9, 2017 by passing the following ordinary resolution:
"BE IT RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (the "Corporation") that:
(a)
the amended and restated stock option plan of the Corporation, in the form attached to the information circular – proxy statement of the Corporation dated March 15, 2017, be and is hereby ratified and approved until May 4, 2020;
(b)
any one director or officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized for and on behalf of the Corporation to execute or cause to be executed and to deliver or cause to be delivered all such documents and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things as such director or officer may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the foregoing resolution."
Approval of the foregoing ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by the holders of Common Shares represented at the Meeting. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy, if not expressly directed to the contrary in such Instrument of Proxy, to vote such proxies FOR the ordinary resolution to ratify and approve the amended and restated stock option plan of the Corporation.
Item 6 – Approval of Amended and Restated Incentive Share Award Plan
At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, an ordinary resolution ratifying and approving an amended and restated incentive share award plan (the “Amended Share Award Plan”) for the Corporation.  The following is a summary of the material amendments reflected in the Amended Share Award Plan as compared to the Corporation’s incentive share award plan (the “2015 Share Award Plan”), as approved at the annual and special meeting of the Shareholders held on June 8, 2015.


-12-
Amendment to Number of Common Shares Reserved for Issuance
The 2015 Share Award Plan provides for a fixed maximum of 11,412,394 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2015 Share Award Plan (together with any other security compensation arrangement of the Corporation, including the 2015 Option Plan), which as of March 15, 2017 represents approximately 9.41% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. On March 9, 2017, the Board approved the Amended Share Award Plan, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, which includes a change to the number of Common Shares which may be reserved for issuance thereunder such that, if such amendments are approved at the Meeting, the Amended Share Award Plan will provide that the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Share Award Plan and all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation (including the Amended Option Plan, if approved at the Meeting) in aggregate shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time.
If the Amended Share Award Plan is approved at the Meeting, the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to Share Awards made under the Amended Share Award Plan, in combination with all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, including the Amended Share Award Plan, would be 12,125,822 Common Shares based on the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares as of March 15, 2017. As of March 15, 2017, there were an aggregate of 10,934,156 outstanding Options and outstanding and vested Performance Share Awards (“PSAs”) and Restricted Share Awards (“RSAs” and, together with the PSAs, “Share Awards”), representing approximately 9.0% of the outstanding Common Shares, as follows: 8,611,327 Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Options; 900,000 Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding PSAs, 1,322,829 Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding RSAs; and 100,000 RSAs which were issued to former directors of the Corporation have vested and are no longer available for future grants. Accordingly, an aggregate of 1,191,666 Common Shares, being approximately 0.98% of the outstanding Common Shares would be available for future grants of Options and Share Awards as of March 15, 2017.
The Amended Share Award Plan is also a “re-loading” plan such that any Share Awards that are vested and redeemed, or are cancelled, terminated or expire prior to the settlement of all or a portion thereof, shall result in the Common Shares that were reserved for issuance thereunder being available for a subsequent grant of Share Awards pursuant to the plan.
Amendment to Permit Grant of RSAs to Employees and Consultants
The Amended Share Award Plan also permits the grant of RSAs to employees and consultants of the Corporation. Under the 2015 Share Award Plan, the Board had the discretion to grant PSAs to employees and consultants of the Corporation, however, RSAs could only be granted to non-employee directors of the Corporation.
Amendment to Amending Provisions
The Amended Share Award Plan also expands upon and clarifies the circumstances in which the Board may amend the Amended Share Award Plan and the terms of Share Awards granted thereunder without the requirement to obtain the approval of Shareholders. If such amendments are approved at the Meeting, the Amended Share Award Plan will provide that the Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend the Amended Share Award Plan or any Share Award, subject to applicable requirements of the TSX and any other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed, without the consent or approval from any holder of Share Awards or Shareholder (provided that no such amendment may be made that will materially prejudice the rights of any holder of previously granted Share Awards without consent by such holder) including without limitation:
(a)
to amend, modify or terminate the Amended Share Award Plan with respect to all Common Shares in respect of Share Awards which have not yet been granted thereunder;

-13-
(b)
to make any amendment of a "housekeeping nature", including to make any amendment  typographical, grammatical, clerical or administrative nature or clarification correcting or rectifying any ambiguity, immaterial inconsistency, defective provision, mistake, or error or omission in the Amended Share Award Plan or any Share Award; and
(c)
to make any addition to, deletion from or alteration of the provisions of the Amended Share Award Plan or any Share Award that are necessary to comply with applicable law, the rules of the TSX, or the requirements of any other stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed and to avoid unanticipated consequences deemed by the Board to be inconsistent with the purpose of the Amended Share Award Plan.
Increase to Limits on Annual Grants to Non-Employee Directors
The Amended Share Award Plan provides for an increase to the limit on the value of all Share Awards granted to any non-management director during a calendar year, as calculated on the date of grant, from $100,000 to $150,000.
Other Amendments
The Amended Share Award Plan also includes certain other amendments which would not otherwise require Shareholder approval, including changes to:
(a)
remove various provisions relating to adjustment for dividends that are not anticipated to be applicable to the Corporation;
(b)
simplify the process surrounding the grant of Share Awards such that the Board will grant that number of Share Awards as it determines, rather than determining the cash grant value of an award and then calculating the number of Share Awards based on the then market price of the Common Shares;
(c)
clarify that all Share Awards shall vest three years following the date of grant, unless otherwise determined or accelerated by the Board;
(d)
revise the meaning of the term “Change of Control” to a more typical formulation than is contained in the 2015 Share Award Plan and clarifying the entitlement of Participants upon the occurrence of a “Change of Control”;
(e)
clarify and revise the entitlement of a Participant upon such Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Person, including if the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person due to termination for cause, voluntary resignation, termination upon death, permanent disability or retirement, and termination not for cause,
and various “housekeeping” and clerical amendments of a non-substantive nature.
The amendments to the Amended Share Award Plan have been approved by the TSX, subject to Shareholder approval. A summary of the 2015 Share Award Plan  is provided below under “Equity Compensation Plan Information – 2015 Share Award Plan” and a copy of the Amended Share Award Plan is attached as Schedule “C” to this Circular. If the Amended Share Award Plan is not approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, the 2015 Share Award Plan will continue as the incentive share award plan of the Corporation, unamended, and the Corporation will be entitled to continue to grant Share Awards thereunder to the extent of the limits set forth in the 2015 Share Award Plan.

Amended Share Award Plan Resolution
Shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to approve and ratify the amendments to the Share Award Plan made by the Board of Directors on March 9, 2017 by passing the following ordinary resolution:
"BE IT RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (the "Corporation") that:
(a)
the amendments to the incentive share award plan of the Corporation, in the form attached to the information circular – proxy statement of the Corporation dated March 15, 2017, be and is hereby ratified and approved until May 4, 2020;
(b)
any one director or officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized for and on behalf of the Corporation to execute or cause to be executed and to deliver or cause to be delivered all such documents and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things as such director or officer may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the foregoing resolution."
Approval of the foregoing ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by the holders of Common Shares represented at the Meeting. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy, if not expressly directed to the contrary in such Instrument of Proxy, to vote such proxies FOR the ordinary resolution to ratify and approve the amended and restated incentive share award plan of the Corporation.
Item 7 - Appointment and Remuneration of the Auditors
The Corporation has requested that Ernst & Young LLP, Chartered Accountants of Calgary, Alberta act as independent auditors for the Corporation subject to Shareholder approval. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy, if not expressly directed to the contrary in such Instrument of Proxy, to vote such proxies FOR the ordinary resolution to appoint the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, Chartered Accountants, as auditors of the Corporation to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, Chartered Accountants is removed from office or resigns as provided by law or by the Corporation’s by-laws, and to authorize the directors of the Corporation to fix the remuneration of Ernst & Young LLP, Chartered Accountants, as auditors of the Corporation.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Corporation has formed a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) which consists of two outside, independent directors, Dr. Seizinger and Ms. Holtham, and Mr. Pisano, the Chair of the Board. Mr. Pisano is the Chair of the Compensation Committee. No member of the Compensation Committee has been an employee officer of the Corporation or any of its affiliates.
The objectives of the Corporation’s compensation arrangements are: (i) to attract and retain key personnel; (ii) to encourage commitment to the Corporation and its goals; (iii) to align executive interests with those of its shareholders; and (iv) to reward executives for performance in relation to overall corporate progress goals.
The key elements of the compensation program are the base salary, health benefits, and payments allocated to employees to be directed by them to their personal retirement accounts. Bonuses and the granting of Options (as defined herein) and Share Awards (as defined herein) are also part of the Corporation’s compensation program and are based on corporate performance. Part of corporate performance includes goals and objectives that are determined based on the strategic planning and budgeting process, which is conducted at least annually. The elements of the compensation plan are intended to reward performance, and the various elements are intended to provide a blend of short-term and long-term incentives to align the interests of management and the shareholders.

-15-
In arriving at its recommendations for compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the long-term interests of the Corporation as well as its current stage of development and the economic environment within which it operates. The market for biotechnology companies in the development phase is challenging. Based on these factors, the Compensation Committee recognized the need to strike a balance between compensation to retain employees and resources expended to maintain operations. In the past, the Compensation Committee has engaged specialist consultants to assist in benchmarking its compensation practices and provide recommendations to the committee with respect to compensation for directors and officers, however, no such consultant was engaged in 2016.
Following a review of the risks in the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices, the Compensation Committee found no risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation. The Compensation Committee’s role of approving the compensation policies and practices includes considering whether the compensation policies and practices could encourage a Named Executive Officer (as defined below) to take inappropriate or excessive risks.
Under the Corporation’s corporate trading policy, insiders (including Named Executive Officers and Directors) are not permitted to hedge their position in Common Shares, Options, Share Awards, deferred share units, performance share units, debentures or other debt instruments by use of any financial instrument, which would include but is not limited to options, puts, calls, warrants or short sells, designed to benefit the holder from a change in the market value of the Common Shares of the Corporation.
For 2016, the following guidelines were employed by the Board in granting bonuses, Options and Share Awards to the Corporation’s executive and senior officers. For 2017, similar guidelines are expected to be applied.
Annual Bonus, Option Grants and Share Award Grants
Each of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation is eligible for a cash bonus of up to 40% of his base salary, the Chief Medical Officer is eligible for a cash bonus of up to 35% of his base salary and the other senior officers are eligible for a cash bonus of up to 15 to 20% of their respective base salaries.  In addition, when available, the officers are eligible for a combination of Option and Share Award grants. The amount of each grant is determined and approved by the Board with the actual bonus provided and the number of Options and Share Awards granted based upon the overall performance of the Corporation as assessed by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. The overall performance of the Corporation is determined by the annual goals and objectives approved by the Board and includes specific objectives with respect to the clinical, manufacturing, and intellectual property plans in combination with financial goals. Previous grants are taken into account when considering new grants of Options and Share Awards.
Performance Graph
The following graph and table compare the change in the cumulative total shareholder return on the Common Shares over the period from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2016 (assuming a $100 investment was made on December 31, 2011) with the cumulative total return of the S&P/TSX Capped Health Care Index over the same period, assuming reinvestment of dividends.
As outlined in the compensation discussion and analysis, the Compensation Committee balances the various short-term and long-term objectives and provides bonuses and Options and Share Awards based on performance against these objectives. The movement in share price based upon one index is not considered wholly representative of the actions to be taken regarding compensation.

Compensation Governance
The Compensation Committee exercises general responsibility for the Corporation’s human resources and compensation policies and processes. Among other responsibilities, the Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the amount of regular and incentive compensation to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the amounts of regular and incentive compensation to be paid to certain designated executives after considering the Chief Executive Officer’s assessment of the performance of such executives.
Each member of the Compensation Committee is an independent director and is ineligible to participate in any of the Corporation’s executive officer compensation programs, other than the Option Plan and the Incentive Share Aware Plan. Each member has extensive director and officer experience with various public and private companies in the design and implementation of executive compensation plans.
Compensation Advisors and Executive Compensation-Related Fees
The Compensation Committee, from time to time, engages specialist consultants to assist in benchmarking its compensation practices and provide recommendations to the committee with respect to compensation for directors and officers, however, no such consultant was retained in 2016.
Summary Compensation Table
The following table sets forth all compensation paid, payable, awarded, granted, given, or otherwise provided, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, or a subsidiary of the Corporation, in Canadian dollars, to the individuals who were, at December 31, 2016, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the next three most highly compensated executive officers whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000, and such other individuals as required (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”) of the Corporation.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION
2015 Option Plan
The following is a summary of the 2015 Option Plan.  Certain amendments to the 2015 Option Plan are proposed for approval by the Shareholders at the Meeting.  See “Business of the Meeting – Item 5 –Approval of Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan”.  If the Amended Option Plan is not approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, the 2015 Option Plan will continue as the stock option plan of the Corporation, unamended, and the Corporation will be entitled to continue to grant Options thereunder to the extent of the limits set forth in the 2015 Option Plan.
The Corporation, with the approval of its Shareholders, has established the 2015 Option Plan, and, through amendments from time to time, has maintained a pool of Options to purchase Common Shares with a fixed maximum of 11,412,394 Common Shares, representing approximately up to 10% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the date of approval of the 2015 Option Plan.  As of March 15, 2017, 8,611,327 Common Shares, being approximately 7.10% of the outstanding Common Shares, are issuable pursuant to outstanding Options. As 900,000 PSAs and 1,322,829 RSAs, representing approximately 0.74% and 1.1%, respectively, of the outstanding Common Shares as of March 15, 2017 have been granted under the 2015 Share Award Plan and an additional 100,000 RSAs previously issued to former directors of the Corporation have vested and are no longer available for future grants, an aggregate of 478,238 Common Shares, being approximately 0.39% of the outstanding Common Shares are available for future grants of Options and Share Awards under the 2015 Option Plan and 2015 Share Award Plan as of March 15, 2017.  If approved at the Meeting, the Amended Option Plan will provide that the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Option Plan

-22-
and all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation (including the Amended Share Award Plan, if approved at the Meeting) in aggregate shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time.
Under the 2015 Option Plan, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may from time to time designate directors, officers, employees of, or consultants to, the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation to whom Options may be granted and the number of Options to be granted to each.
The number of Common Shares available that may be acquired under Option granted to a participant under the 2015 Option Plan (a “Participant”) shall be determined by the Board at the time the Option is granted, provided that: (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable under the 2015 Option Plan at any time, together with all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, to insiders shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis); (ii) the aggregate number of Common Shares issued pursuant to the 2015 Option Plan to insiders, together with all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, within a one year period shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis); and (iii) the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any one Participant under the 2015 Option Plan, together with all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, shall not exceed 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis).
The value of Option grants to each non-employee Director shall not exceed $100,000 annually for any individual non-employee Director (other than initial Option grants to new directors).
Options may be exercised at a price (the “Exercise Price”) which shall be fixed by the Board at the time the Option is granted. No Option can be granted with an Exercise Price at a discount to the market, which shall be the closing price of the Common Shares on the stock exchange upon which the Common Shares are listed on the first day preceding the date of grant on which at least one board lot of Common Shares traded on such exchange.
Options are generally granted for a term expiring on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and typically either vest immediately or as to one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversary following the date of grant, as determined by the Board at the time the Option is granted. Options are not transferable or assignable except to the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights pass by the Participant’s will or applicable law following the death or permanent disability of a Participant.
The 2015 Option Plan provides that if the expiration date of an Option occurs during a “blackout period” or within five (5) business days after a blackout period, such expiration date shall be deemed to be extended to the date which is the tenth (10th) business day after the last day of the applicable blackout period.
Subject to any written agreement between the Corporation and a Participant providing otherwise, if any Participant who is a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation for any reason other than death or permanent disability, all of such Participant’s outstanding Options will terminate immediately as to the then unvested portion thereof, and at 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the earlier of the date of expiration of the Option Period (as defined in the 2015 Option Plan) and the ninetieth (90th) day after the date such Participant ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation as to the then vested portion of the Option. In the event of a sale by the Corporation of all or substantially all of its assets or in the event of a change of control of the Corporation, the Participants are entitled to exercise in full or in part any unexercised Options previously granted to such Participant pursuant to the 2015 Option Plan, whether vested or not, either during the term of the Option or within ninety (90) days after the date of termination of the employment of the Participant with the Corporation or the cessation or termination of the Participant as a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation, whichever first occurs. Subject to any written agreement between the Corporation and a Participant providing otherwise, if in the event of the death or permanent disability of a Participant, any Option previously granted to him shall be exercisable until the

-23-
end of the Option Period or until the expiration of 12 months after the date of death or permanent disability of such Participant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, at its sole discretion, extend the period during which any Options may be exercised, in the case of Options held by non-employee directors, by not more than one year, and in the case of Options held by other persons, by not more than three years, but in no case longer than the normal expiry of the Options.
The 2015 Option Plan and any Options granted thereunder may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board without approval of Shareholders subject to any required approval of the TSX. Such changes may include, without limitation: minor changes of a “housekeeping” nature; changes to the vesting provisions of an Option or the 2015 Option Plan or adding a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying Common Shares from the 2015 Option Plan reserve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder approval is required for any change to the 2015 Option Plan or Options granted under it which:
(a)
increases the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the 2015 Option Plan;
(b)
extends eligibility to participate in the 2015 Option Plan to persons other than officers, directors, and employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries and consultants to the Corporation or its subsidiaries;
(c)
permits Options to be transferred, other than for normal estate settlement purposes or to an RRSP or similar plan;
(d)
permits awards other than Options to be made under the 2015 Option Plan;
(e)
extends the term of an Option beyond the maximum expiry date set out in the 2015 Option Plan (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period;
(f)
reduces the exercise price of an Option, except for the purpose of maintaining Option value in connection with a conversion, change, reclassification, redivision, redesignation, subdivision or consolidation of shares or a reorganization, amalgamation, consolidation, merger, takeover bid or similar transaction involving the Corporation (for this purpose, cancellation or termination of an Option prior to its expiry date for the purpose of reissuing Options to the same Option-holder with a lower exercise price will be considered an amendment to reduce the exercise price of an Option);
(g)
changes the insider participation limitation at any time under the 2015 Option Plan; or
(h)
amends the amending provision of the 2015 Option Plan.
2015 Share Award Plan
The following is a summary of the 2015 Share Award Plan. Certain amendments to the 2015 Share Award Plan are proposed for approval by the Shareholders at the Meeting.  See “Business of the Meeting – Item 6 – Approval of Amended and Restated Share Award Plan”.  If the Amended Share Award Plan is not approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, the 2015 Share Award Plan will continue as the incentive share award plan of the Corporation, unamended, and the Corporation will be entitled to continue to grant Share Awards thereunder to the extent of the limits set forth in the 2015 Share Award Plan.
The Corporation, with the approval of its Shareholders, has established the 2015 Share Award Plan.  Under the 2015 Share Award Plan, the Board may, at such times and in such amounts as the Board may deem advisable in its sole and absolute discretion, issue PSAs to eligible employees, including officers, and RSAs to non-employee Directors. The aggregate number of issuable Common Shares pursuant to Share Awards made under the 2015 Share Award Plan, in combination with all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, including the 2015 Option Plan, is 11,412,394 Common Shares. As of March 15, 2017, 900,000 PSAs and 1,322,829 RSAs, representing approximately 0.74%

-24-
and 1.1%, respectively, of the outstanding Common Shares as of March 15, 2017 have been granted under the 2015 Share Award Plan and an additional 100,000 RSAs which were issued to former directors of the Corporation have vested and are no longer available for future grants. As 8,611,327 Common Shares, being approximately 7.10% of the outstanding Common Shares, are issuable pursuant to outstanding Options, an aggregate of 478,238 Common Shares, being approximately 0.39% of the outstanding Common Shares are available for future grants of Options and Share Awards under the 2015 Option Plan and the 2015 Share Award Plan as of March 15, 2017.
If approved at the Meeting, the Amended Share Award Plan will provide that the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Share Award Plan and all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation (including the Amended Option Plan, if approved at the Meeting) in aggregate shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time.  In addition, if approved at the Meeting, the Amended Share Award Plan will provide that RSAs can be granted to employees and consultants, in addition to non-employee Directors.
Subject to earlier vesting in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Share Award Plan and unless otherwise determined by the Board, RSAs and PSAs granted under the 2015 Share Award Plan vest on the third anniversary date of the date of grant. Upon vesting, each RSA is deemed to be redeemed for no further consideration for one Common Share (subject to adjustment for dividend equivalents) and each PSA is deemed to be redeemed for no further consideration for one Common Share (subject to adjustment for dividend equivalents) multiplied by the percentage of outstanding PSAs that will vest based upon the relative achievement of any performance-related measures or criteria as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, which may include the Corporation’s performance compared to identified operational or financial targets and the Corporation’s shareholder return.
The 2015 Share Award Plan provides that if the issue date of any Share Award occurs during a blackout period, then the issue date for such Share Award shall not occur until the date which is the tenth (10th) business day after the last day of the such blackout period.
The aggregate number of Common Shares issuable at any time to insiders, under all security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis). The aggregate number of Common Shares issued pursuant to all security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, within a one year period, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis). The Incentive Share Award Plan further provides that the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any one participant under all security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, shall not exceed 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis).
The maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance to non-employee Directors pursuant to RSAs under the Incentive Share Award Plan is 1% of the Common Shares outstanding at the time of the grant (on a non-diluted basis), less the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to such non-employee Director under any other security based compensation arrangement, and the total annual grant of RSAs to any one non-employee Director cannot exceed a grant value of $100,000.
If a grantee ceases to be an “Eligible Employee” under the 2015 Share Award Plan for any reason other than termination without cause, death, disability or retirement of the grantee or ceases to be a director due to the failure of the grantee to stand for or obtain re-election to the Board, all outstanding Share Award agreements under which Share Awards have been granted to such grantee shall be immediately terminated. If a grantee is terminated without cause, any Common Shares awarded pursuant to any PSA to such grantee that have not yet vested and been issued, but would be eligible for vesting and issuance during the notice period specified in such grantee’s employment agreement shall vest on the termination date. Upon the death, permanent disability or retirement of a grantee, all outstanding Share Award agreements under which Share Awards have been made to such grantee prior to such date shall be terminated and all rights to receive Common Shares pursuant to Share Awards that have not vested shall

-25-
be forfeited by the grantee effective as of 12 months from such date. Except in the case of death, the right to receive Common Shares pursuant to a Share Award granted to a grantee may only be exercised by such grantee personally. Share Awards granted to grantee under the 2015 Share Award Plan are non-assignable.
The 2015 Share Award Plan and any Share Awards granted thereunder may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board without approval of Shareholders, subject to any required approval of the TSX. Such changes may include, without limitation: minor changes of a “housekeeping” nature; changes to the vesting provisions of a Share Award or the 2015 Share Award Plan or adding a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities which provides for a full deduction of the number of the underlying Common Shares from the 2015 Share Award Plan reserve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 2015 Share Award Plan or a Share Award may not be amended without shareholder approval to:
(a)
increase the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Share Awards at any time;
(b)
increase the number of Common Shares issuable to insiders, non-employee Directors or any one 2015 Share Award Plan participant, at any time under the 2015 Share Award Plan, together with all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation;
(c)
increase the number of Common Shares issued to insiders within any one-year period, under the 2015 Share Award Plan, together with all other security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation;
(d)
expand the categories of individuals contained in the definition of “Eligible Employee” who are eligible to participate in the 2015 Share Award Plan;
(e)
extend the term of any Share Award beyond the term of such awards provided for under the terms and conditions of the 2015 Share Award Plan;
(f)
permit the transfer or assignment of Share Awards, except to permit a transfer to a family member, an entity controlled by the holder of the Share Awards or a family member, a charity or for estate planning or estate settlement purposes; or
(g)
change the terms of any Share Awards held by insiders; and
(h)
change the amendment provisions of the 2015 Share Award Plan.
In addition, no amendment to the 2015 Share Award Plan or any Share Awards granted pursuant thereto may be made without the consent of an 2015 Share Award Plan participant if it adversely alters or impairs the rights of such participant in respect of any Share Award previously granted to such participant under the 2015 Share Award Plan.
Certain amendments to the Share Award Plan are proposed for approval by the Shareholders at the Meeting.  See “Business of the Meeting – Item 6 – Approval of Amended and Restated Incentive Share Award Plan”.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation. The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the Corporation’s policy direction and fundamental objectives. The Board of Directors delegates to management the responsibility and authority to direct the Corporation’s day-to-day operations, subject to compliance with Board-approved budgets and strategic plans. Certain matters, including the acquisition or development of new lines of business, divestments and long-term financing, among other things, must be approved in advance by the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors discharges its responsibilities through preparation for and attendance at regularly scheduled meetings, and through its committees. The Board of Directors reviews and provides advice with respect to key strategic initiatives and projects, and reviews and assesses processes relating to long range planning and budgeting. The Governance Committee assists the Board in matters pertaining to corporate values, beliefs and standards of ethical conduct, as well as other corporate governance issues and the Audit Committee assists the Board in matters pertaining to management information and internal control systems. The Board of Directors also monitors financial reports, the conduct and results of the annual independent audit, finance and accounting policies and other financial matters. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and recommends to the Board for approval the Corporation’s interim financial statements, and also reviews and recommends the year-end audited financial statements for approval by the Board. The Board of Directors also has a Compensation Committee, which is responsible for attracting, retaining and fairly compensating employees of the Corporation. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for succession planning. Subject to limited exceptions, these committees generally do not have decision-making authority. Rather, they convey their findings and make recommendations on matters falling within their respective mandates to the full Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors supports the principle that its membership should represent a diversity of backgrounds, experience and skills. The Board, through the Governance Committee, reviews on an

-28-
annual basis the appropriate characteristics of Board members in the context of the current composition of the Board and the objectives and needs of the Corporation.
Composition of the Board
As at December 31, 2016, the Corporation had six (6) Board members. A majority of the directors of the Corporation are independent. The five (5) independent directors of the Corporation were Angela Holtham, Mark Lievonen, Wayne Pisano, William Rice and Bernd Seizinger.
The one director of the Corporation who is not independent is Dr. Matthew C. Coffey, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. Dr. Coffey held those roles in an interim capacity as at December 31, 2016.
The directors of the Corporation who are also directors of other reporting issuers are as follows:
Director
Other Reporting Issuers
Angela Holtham
IBI Group Inc.
Wayne Pisano
Immunovaccine Inc.
William Rice
Aptose Biosciences Inc.

Mr. Wayne Pisano, the Chair, is an independent director. The principal responsibility of the Chair is to ensure the independence of the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities. In this regard, the Chair, individually or with the support of the committees, consults with the President and Chief Executive Officer on selection of committee members and committee chairs, Board meetings and planning meeting agendas, the format and adequacy of information provided to directors and the effectiveness of Board meetings. The Chair also consults directly with other directors on issues of Board independence or dissent, conflicts of interest of the President and Chief Executive Officer, or personal liability matters.
Board Mandate
The text of the Board’s written mandate is attached as Schedule “D” to this Circular.

-29-
(6)
Dr.'s Rice and Seizinger are Co-Chairs of the Science and Technology Committee.

While the independent Board members do not regularly schedule meetings at which neither non-independent directors or members of management are present, such independent directors hold in camera sessions at each regularly scheduled Board meeting and the Board otherwise ensures open and candid discussion among its independent directors by continuously monitoring situations where a conflict of interest or perceived conflict of interest with respect to a director may exist.  In cases where a conflict of interest or perceived conflict of interest is identified, it is addressed in accordance with the ABCA and the Board’s mandate.  The Board may determine that it is appropriate to hold in camera sessions excluding directors with a conflict of interest or perceived conflict of interest or such director may consider that it is appropriate to recuse himself or herself from considering and voting with respect to the matter under consideration.
Position Descriptions
The Board has developed position descriptions for the chair and the chair of each Board committee which delineate the role and responsibilities of these positions. The Board and the Chief Executive Officer have developed a written position description for the Chief Executive Officer which delineates the role and responsibilities of this position.
Orientation and Continuing Education
The Board provides new directors with the Board and committee mandates and reviews these with the new Board members. The Board and management review the nature and operations of the Corporation, initially upon appointment and continually through scheduled Board meetings and other sessions as required.
The Board provides continuing education for its Board members on issues relevant to the Corporation through Board interaction at Board meetings and ongoing communications between scheduled meetings as required or requested.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board has adopted a written code of conduct for the directors, officers and employees of the Corporation. A copy of the code is available on the Corporation’s website www.oncolyticsbiotech.com. The Board satisfies itself regarding compliance with the code through its review of the activities of the Corporation, discussions by the Audit Committee with the external auditors of the Corporation without management present, and enquiries of management.
The Board encourages and supports the exercise of independent judgment by directors in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest. The Board requires that any director or officer with a material interest in a transaction or agreement under discussion disclose and declare their interest. The Board then conducts all discussions with respect to the transaction or agreement without the interested director or officer present for the determination and precludes any interested director from voting thereon.
The Board encourages and promotes a culture of ethical business conduct through its actions and its support and interaction with management and employees of the Corporation.
Nomination of Board Members
The Corporation identifies potential director candidates through a search process that may include the use of an executive search firm. Qualifications of potential candidates are reviewed and interviews are held by members of the Governance Committee with the potential candidates. The Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to new director candidates.

-30-
The Governance Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors. The Governance Committee, in its capacity as the nominating committee, has the responsibility to present the annual slate of directors to the Board for the Board’s approval. Once approved by the Board, the proposed selection is then presented to the Shareholders for their approval at the next scheduled annual meeting. During the year, this committee has the responsibility of locating and recommending additional directors to fill vacancies or supplement the Board as required.
Determination of Compensation of Directors and Officers
The Board has established a Compensation Committee comprised entirely of independent directors. The Compensation Committee reviews and reports to the Board on director and officer compensation issues. In determining the compensation for the directors, the committee assesses the directors’ roles and responsibilities and an analysis of the competitive position of the Corporation’s director compensation program, including the ability to draw directors with the background and experience required to provide an effective Board. In determining the compensation for officers, similar principles are applied and an independent compensation consultant is engaged from time to time to provide additional relevant information to the Compensation Committee.
Further information regarding the activities of the Compensation Committee is provided above under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.
Other Board Committees
The Board has established three committees, each of which is comprised entirely of independent directors. These committees are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Governance Committee. Mandates for the Board and each of the committees of the Board can be found on the Corporation’s website under “Investor Center/Corporate Governance” at www.oncolyticsbiotech.com/investor-centre/corporate-governance.
Assessments of Directors and the Board
Through its Governance Committee, the Board assesses, at least annually, the effectiveness and contribution of each member of the Board. The assessment is conducted through dialogue with Board members and is part of the information used in setting the slate of directors to be proposed to the Shareholders at the next annual meeting.
Director Term Limits
The Corporation actively encourages independent board member renewal through its formal term limit policy, adopted on June 30, 2015, whereby the independent director term limit is set at 12 years. Under the policy, the Board maintains the discretion to extend a directors’ term, if under the circumstances, it is in the best interest of the Corporation and its shareholders. This in practice ensures that new independent directors are appointed regularly, without losing the experience base of long serving directors.
Mr. Lievonen, an independent director, has been a member of the Board since April 5, 2004 and, accordingly, under the Corporation’s director term limit policy, his term is scheduled to expire at the Meeting.  The Board has, however, determined to exercise its discretion to extend Mr. Lievonen’s term as a director for an additional year as, in the circumstances, it has determined that it is the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders to do so.
Policies Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board
While the Board recognizes the potential benefits from new perspectives which could manifest through increased gender diversity within its ranks, the Board has not formally adopted a written board diversity policy regarding the number or percentage of female members that it wishes to include on the Board. The

-31-
Board does not believe it is in the Corporation’s interests to implement a written board diversity policy at this time. The selection of candidates for appointment to the Board will continue to be based on the skills, knowledge, experience and character of individual candidates and the requirements of the Board at the time, with achieving an appropriate level of diversity on the Board being one of the criteria that the Governance Committee considers when evaluating the composition of the Board.
When considering candidates for senior management positions, the Corporation focuses on attracting and retaining experienced and highly skilled individuals that can add value to its business. Rather than considering the level of representation of women in executive officer positions when making executive officer appointments, the Corporation considers all candidates based on their merit and qualifications relevant to the specific role.
Additionally, while the Corporation recognizes the benefits of diversity at all levels within its organization, the Corporation does not currently have any targets, rules or formal policies that specifically require the identification, consideration, nomination or appointment of female board nominees or candidates for executive management positions or that would otherwise force the composition of the Board or the Corporation’s executive management team. The Board does not believe it is in the Corporation’s best interests to implement such targets at this time.
As of the date hereof, there is one woman director on the Board, representing 16.7% of the six directors on the Board and 20.0% of the five independent directors on the Board.
Director Shareholding Requirements
The Board recognizes that share ownership by members of the Board is a key element of strong corporate governance. In 2014, the Board adopted a director shareholding requirement policy that each independent director will have purchased common shares on the open market equal to one times the director’s base annual retainer.  On March 10, 2016, the Board amended the director shareholder requirement to include common shares purchased on the open market and any RSAs issued.  The value of each director’s shareholdings will be based on the purchase price of the common shares and the grant date value of any RSAs and will be reported to the Board at each regular meeting.

4.02  Indemnity of others  Except as otherwise required by the Act and subject to Section 4.03, the Corporation may from time to time indemnify and save harmless any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee, agent of or participant in another entity, against expenses (including legal fees), judgments, fines and any amount actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which he or she served at the Corporation’s request and, with respect to any criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction will not, of itself, create a presumption

-4-

that the person did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation or other entity and, with respect to any criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had no reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.
4.03  Right of indemnity not exclusive  The provisions for indemnification contained in the by-laws will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity, and will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and will inure to the benefit of that person’s heirs and legal representatives.
4.04  No liability of directors or officers for certain matters  To the extent permitted by law, no director or officer for the time being of the Corporation will be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or employee or for joining in any receipt or act for conformity or for any loss, damage or expense happening to the Corporation through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by the Corporation or for or on behalf of the Corporation or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the moneys of or belonging to the Corporation will be placed out or invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person, firm or body corporate with whom or which any moneys, securities or other assets belonging to the Corporation will be lodged or deposited or for any loss, conversion, misapplication or misappropriation of or any damage resulting from any dealings with any moneys, securities or other assets belonging to the Corporation or for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatever which may happen in the execution of the duties of his or her respective office or trust or in relation thereto unless the same will happen by or through his or her failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and in connection therewith to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.  If any director or officer of the Corporation is employed by or performs services for the Corporation otherwise than as a director or officer or is a member of a firm or a shareholder, director or officer of a body corporate which is employed by or performs services for the Corporation, the fact that the person is a director or officer of the Corporation will not disentitle such director or officer or such firm or body corporate, as the case may be, from receiving proper remuneration for such services.
DIVISION 5
BANKING ARRANGEMENTS, CONTRACTS, ETC.
5.01  Banking arrangements  The banking business of the Corporation, or any part thereof, will be transacted with such banks, trust companies or other financial institutions as the board may designate, appoint or authorize from time to time and all such banking business, or any part thereof, will be transacted on the Corporation’s behalf by one or more officers or other persons as the board may designate, direct or authorize from time to time.

to appoint any officer or any other person on behalf of the Corporation to sign by hand and deliver either contracts, documents or instruments in writing generally or to sign either by hand or by facsimile or mechanical signature or otherwise and deliver specific contracts, documents or instruments in writing, and
(b)
to delegate to any two officers of the Corporation the powers to designate, direct or authorize from time to time in writing one or more officers or other persons on the Corporation’s behalf to sign either by hand or by facsimile or mechanical signature or otherwise and deliver contracts, documents or instruments in writing of such type and on such terms and conditions as such two officers see fit.
Contracts, documents or instruments in writing that are to be signed by hand may be signed electronically.  The term “contracts, documents or instruments in writing” as used in the by-laws includes without limitation deeds, mortgages, charges, conveyances, powers of attorney, transfers and assignments of property of all kinds (including specifically but without limitation transfers and assignments of shares, warrants, bonds, debentures or other securities), proxies for shares or other securities and all paper writings.

6.02  Registration of transfers Subject to the Act and the STA, no transfer of a security shall be registered in a securities register except (a) upon presentation of the certificate (or, where applicable, other evidence of electronic, book-based, direct registration service or other non-certificated entry or position on the register of securityholders) representing such security with an endorsement or completed stock power of attorney which complies with the STA made thereon or delivered therewith duly executed by an appropriate person as provided by the STA, together with such reasonable assurance that the endorsement is genuine and authorized as the board or the Corporation’s transfer agent may from time to time prescribe, (b) upon payment of all applicable taxes and any reasonable fees prescribed by the board, (c) upon compliance with such restrictions on transfer as are imposed by statute or the articles of the Corporation, (d) upon satisfaction of any lien referred to in section 6.06, and (e) upon compliance with and satisfaction of such other requirements as the Corporation or its transfer agent may reasonably impose.
6.03  Defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost security certificates In case of the defacement, destruction, theft or loss of a security certificate, the fact of such defacement, destruction, theft or loss shall be reported by the owner to the Corporation or to an agent of the Corporation (if any), on behalf of the Corporation, with a statement verified by oath or statutory declaration as to the defacement, destruction, theft or loss and the circumstances concerning the same and with a request for the issuance of a new security certificate to replace the one so defaced (together with the surrender of the defaced security certificate), destroyed, stolen or lost. Upon the giving to the Corporation (or if there be an agent, hereinafter in this section 6.03 referred to as the “Corporation’s agent”, then to the Corporation and the Corporation’s agent) of a bond of a surety company (or other security approved by the directors) in such form as is approved by the

-6-

directors or by any officer of the Corporation, indemnifying the Corporation (and the Corporation’s agent if any) against all loss, damage or expense, which the Corporation and/or the Corporation’s agent may suffer or be liable for by reason of the issuance of a new security certificate to such owner, and subject to compliance by such owner and the Corporation with the STA, a new security certificate shall be issued in replacement of the one defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost, and such issuance may be ordered and authorized by any officer or by the directors.

If a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person as a result of the termination of such Participant for cause, effective as of the date notice is given to the Participant of such termination, all outstanding Option Agreements under which Options have been granted to such Participant shall be terminated and all rights to receive Shares thereunder shall be forfeited by such Participant, and the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any Shares or other compensation in lieu thereof.

-8-
15.
Transferability

(ii)
Upon vesting, each Restricted Share Award and each Performance Share Award (following application of the applicable Vesting Percentage) so vested will entitle the holder to receive one Share (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Plan) on the applicable Issue Date.  For greater certainty, a Participant shall have no right to receive any Shares or other consideration in respect of any Performance Share Awards other than for the Vesting Percentage of such Performance Share Awards.
(iii)
The Board shall determine the Performance Criteria for each grant of Performance Share Awards at the time of the grant of the award and, the Board shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of the Vesting Period applicable to a particular grant of Performance Share Awards determine, in its sole discretion, the applicable “Vesting Percentage”.
(iv)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, no term or condition of a grant of Share Awards hereunder or any Share Award Agreement may have the effect of causing any Shares to be issued pursuant to any Share Award under the Plan to a Participant in satisfaction of such Participant’s Performance Share Awards under the Plan (or any portion thereof) to occur after December 31 in the third (3rd) calendar year following the calendar year in respect of which such Share Awards were granted.
(c)
Issuance of Shares - Shares that are issuable to the Participant on the Issue Date shall be issued from treasury as fully paid and non-assessable Shares. No fractional Shares will be issued and all fractional entitlements shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
(d)
Delivery of Shares - The Issue Date shall occur as soon as practicable and in any event within 31 days following the completion of the Vesting Period applicable to a Share Award.  Subject to the remainder of this Section 5(d), on the Issue Date, the Corporation will issue from treasury to the Participant that number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled to receive in respect of such Share Award in accordance with this Section 5, subject to Section 7 hereof, and sent by pre-paid mail or delivered to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Issue Date a Black-Out Period has been imposed upon a Participant which is still in effect, then the Issue Date shall not occur until the date which is the tenth (10th) business day after the last day of the applicable Black Out Period.

 
(e)
Change of Control - Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion, upon a Change of Control, all unvested Share Awards shall become automatically vested (in the case of Performance Share Awards, with a deemed Vesting Percentage of 100). Shares issuable in respect of Share Awards shall be, and shall be deemed to be, issued to Participants effective immediately prior to the completion of the transaction which would result in the Change of Control unless issued prior thereto in accordance with this Plan.

(ii)
change the Issue Date (including amending the Vesting Period related thereto) for all or any Share Awards at any time and from time to time; and
(iii)
otherwise amend or modify the terms and conditions regarding any grant of Share Awards or payments in respect of any Share Awards hereunder, provided, however, that no such amendment or modification may, without the consent of the affected Participant, impair or adversely affect a Share Award granted to the Participant under the Plan prior to the date of such amendment or modification.
(g)
Effect of Certain Changes - In the event:
(i)
of any change in the Shares through subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction; or
(ii)
that any rights are granted to Shareholders to purchase Shares at prices substantially below fair market value, and such events do not constitute a Change of Control, then, in any such case, the Board may make such adjustments to the Plan, to any Share Awards and to any Share Award Agreements outstanding under the Plan as the Board may, in its sole discretion, consider appropriate in the circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to Participants hereunder.
(h)
Ceasing to be an Eligible Person - Unless otherwise determined by the Board or unless otherwise expressly set forth in a Share Award Agreement pertaining to a particular Share Award or any written employment or other agreement governing a Participant’s role as an Eligible Person, the following provisions shall apply in the event that a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person:

Termination for Cause – If a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person as a result of the termination of such Participant for cause, effective as of

 
the date notice is given to the Participant of such termination, all outstanding Share Awards Agreements under which Share Awards have been granted to such Participant shall be terminated and all rights to receive Shares thereunder shall be forfeited by such Participant, and the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any Shares or other compensation in lieu thereof.
(ii)
Voluntary Resignation - If a Participant voluntarily ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason other than as a result of the death, permanent disability or retirement of the Participant as set forth in Section 7(h)(iii), effective as of the date notice is given by the Participant of such resignation, unless otherwise determined by the Board, all outstanding Share Award Agreements under which Share Awards have been made to such Participant shall be terminated and all rights to receive Shares thereunder shall be forfeited by the Participant, and the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any Shares or other compensation in lieu thereof.
(iii)
Termination Upon Death or Permanent Disability or Retirement - Upon the death, permanent disability or retirement of a Participant (other than the early retirement of an Eligible Employee), all outstanding Share Award Agreements under which Share Awards have been made to such Participant prior to the Cessation Date shall immediately vest as of the Cessation Date, and the Issue Date in respect of all Share Awards held by such Participant shall be the earlier of: (A) the 90th day following the Cessation Date; and (B) the original Issue Date contemplated by Section 5(d) of this Plan.
(iv)
Termination not for Cause - If a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person other than as set forth in Sections 7(h)(i), (ii) or (iii), effective as of the Cessation Date all Share Awards awarded to such Participant under any outstanding Share Award Agreements shall fully vest effective as of the Cessation Date, unless otherwise determined by the Board. On the applicable Issue Date in respect of such Share Awards, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the number of Shares equal to the number of Share Awards granted multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date in respect of the applicable Share Award to the Cessation Date; and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of days comprising the Vesting Period in respect of such Share Award. In such circumstances, the Vesting Percentage in respect of Performance Share Awards shall be determined as of the Cessation Date.  The Issue Date in respect of any such Awards shall be the earlier of: (A) the 90th day following the Cessation Date; and (B) the original Issue Date contemplated by Section 5(d) of this Plan.
(i)
Rights as a Shareholder - Until the Shares underlying any Share Award have been issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Participant to whom such Share Award has been made shall not possess any incidents of ownership of such Shares including, for greater certainty and without limitation, the right to exercise voting rights in respect of such Shares. Such Participant shall only be considered a Shareholder in respect of such Shares when such issuance has

 
been entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Corporation.
6.
Ratification and Approval by Shareholders
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan:
(a)
no Shares may be issued pursuant to any Share Award until the Plan has been approved by the Shareholders at a duly called meeting of the Shareholders; and

any grants of Share Awards by the Board prior to the Plan being approved by the Shareholders must be ratified by the Shareholders at the meeting of the Shareholders at which the Shareholders approve the Plan.
7.
Withholding Taxes
When a Participant or other person becomes entitled to receive Shares under any Share Award, the Corporation shall have the right to require the Participant or such other person to remit to the Corporation an amount sufficient to satisfy any withholding tax requirements relating thereto. Unless otherwise prohibited by the Board or by applicable law, satisfaction of the withholding tax obligation may be accomplished by any of the following methods or by a combination of such methods:
(a)
the tendering by the Participant of cash payment to the Corporation in an amount equal to the total withholding tax obligation;
(b)
the withholding or sale by the Corporation from the Shares otherwise due to the Participant, of such number of Shares having a value determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, equal to the amount of the total withholding tax obligation (and in the case of a treasury issuance of Shares to settle Share Awards hereunder, such sale of Shares shall be automatically made on or as soon as practicable after the applicable Issue Date for the purposes of satisfying withholding tax obligations, unless otherwise agreed to by the Corporation and the Participant);
(c)
the withholding by the Corporation from any cash payment otherwise due to the Participant of such amount of cash as is equal to the amount of the total withholding tax obligation; or
(d)
any other method determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, acting reasonably,
provided, however, that the sum of any cash so paid or withheld and the value of any Shares so withheld or sold is, sufficient, in the reasonable estimation of the Corporation, to satisfy the total withholding tax obligation.
8.
Non-Transferability
The right to receive Shares pursuant to a Share Award granted to a Participant may only be settled by such Participant personally or through the Participant’s personal representative or estate and no assignment, sale, transfer, pledge or charge of a Share Award, whether

voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), vests any interest or right in such Share Award whatsoever in any assignee or transferee and, immediately upon any assignment, sale, transfer, pledge or charge or attempt to assign, sell, transfer, pledge or charge, such Share Award shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
