300,000 Options (the "Time-Vested Options") vest as to one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant; and
300,000 Options (the "Performance Options") vest in full on the first date that the 30-day volume-weighted average trading price ("VWAP") of the Company's common shares on the CSE equals or exceeds $0.675 per share, representing 150% of the exercise price, at any time prior to the expiry of the Options.
The Company also granted Options to purchase 150,000 common shares to each of its four other directors, at the same exercise price of $0.45 per share and on the same five-year term,vesting as to 50% after 6 months and the balance after 1 year.

"The Board believes this structure rewards long-term value creation rather than the passage of time alone."
