EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION


Interpretation


Applicable securities Legislation defines executive officer to mean Chairman and any Vice-Chairman of the Company and, where the functions of the office are performed on a full-time basis, the President, any Vice-President in charge of a principal business unit such as sales, finance or production, and an officer of the Company or of a subsidiary or any other person who performs a policy-making function in respect of the Company, whether or not the individual is also a director of the Company or subsidiary.


The Company has three executive officers:  the President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher J. Bradbrook, the Chairman, John H. Kruzick, and the Vice President of Exploration & Development, Michael W. Hibbitts.


BC Form 51-904(F) of the Securities Act defines:


Named Executive Officers to mean the Chief Executive Officer (regardless of the amount of compensation of that individual) and each of the Company's four most highly compensated executive officers whose salary and bonus is $100,000 or more;


Stock Appreciation Rights and SARs to mean a right, granted by the issuer or any of its subsidiaries as compensation for services rendered or otherwise in connection with office or employment, to receive a payment of cash or an issue or transfer of securities based wholly or in part on changes in the trading price of publicly traded securities;


Long-term Incentive Plan or LTIP to mean any plan providing compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance to occur over a period longer than one financial year, whether the performance is measured by reference to financial performance of the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer, the price for the issuer's securities, of any other measure, but does not include option or SAR plans or plans for compensation through restricted shares or restricted share units.

6




January 1, 2005 to provide for the employment of John H. Kruzick as Chairman (former President) and Sharon L. Ross as Corporate Secretary.  To ensure the continued good management of the Company, it was deemed fair and necessary to extend to them as essential employees service agreements that provide for the following:

(i)

without cause prior to the expiration of this Agreement, Kruzick and/or Ross shall be paid a lump sum severance payment in lieu of any other compensation or benefits otherwise payable thereafter under this Agreement; such payment to include any accrued but unpaid service fees and a lump sum payment equal to one month of base retainer fees for each year those persons held their respective position  (based on the average monthly fee paid for the previous year);

(ii)

by DRC Resources with cause, other than moral turpitude or dishonesty on Kruzick's and/or Ross' part, prior to the expiration of this Agreement, Kruzick and/or Ross shall be paid a lump sum severance payment equal to one month of  base retainer fees for each year such person held their respective position (based on the average monthly fees paid for the previous year), together with any accrued but unpaid expenses;

(iv) upon Kruzick and/or Ross retiring from all positions with the Company prior to the

expiration of this Agreement, Kruzick and/or Ross shall be paid a lump sum severance payment equal to one month's base salary for each year such person has held their respective position (based on the average monthly salary during the previous year), paid as to 50% at time of retirement and 50% on the first (1st) day of January in the year following retirement.

 

In March, 2004 the Company engaged the services of Mr. Michael W. Hibbitts as Vice President of Exploration and Development.  Mr. Hibbitts' contract dated March 22, 2004 and approved by the board of directors was amended on January 1, 2005 to reflect the following compensation arrangement:


In October, 2004 the Company engaged the services of Mr. Christopher J. Bradbrook to fill the position of President and CEO, replacing Mr. Kruzick who moved to the position of Chairman.  Mr. Bradbrook's agreement for services contained the following provisions:



7




The Board deemed the additional incentive benefits fair and reasonable, since the Company is moving toward determining the mining potential of its main mineral project and is at a critical stage in its financing and development arrangements, which will demand considerably more effort on the basis of full time attendance to the Company's affairs.  The Board made a competitive rates study, but noted that, in recent years despite a poor equities market, under the Chairman's  management the Company was able to advance its mineral exploration project and to raise significant financing required to stabilize and maintain market price.  The Board determined the appropriateness of the benefit package added to the Chairman, President/CEO, Vice President of Exploration & Development and Corporate Secretary's cash compensation on the basis of their experience in the business.


Since the Company does not have an earnings history, the Board deemed the price performance of its shares in the public market, as indicated in the following chart, compared to other mineral exploration companies over the past five years, to be a good indicator of the value of management services provided by the Chairman, President/CEO, Vice President of Exploration & Development and Corporate Secretary.

Note:  TSX-I denotes S&P/TSX Composite Index






8




The Company does not have any arrangements relating to resignation, retirement or termination of employment with any other individuals.



Compensation Committee


The Company does not have a Compensation Committee.



Compensation of Directors


Directors of the Company did not receive fees or other cash compensation in their capacity as directors. The directors may be reimbursed for actual expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as directors.  Directors are also eligible to receive incentive stock options to purchase common shares of the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).



APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS


Members will be asked to vote for the reappointment of DeVisser Gray, Chartered Accountants, the present auditors for the Company, as auditors.



AUTHORIZING DIRECTORS TO FIX AUDITORS' REMUNERATION


The Company Act of British Columbia requires that the remuneration of the auditor of the Company shall be fixed by ordinary resolution of the members or, if the Company so resolves, by the directors.  The members will be asked to vote for a resolution authorizing the directors to fix the remuneration of the auditors, such authorization to expire at the next annual general meeting of the Company.



STOCK OPTIONS


The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) requires that all stock options or amendments to stock options granted to insiders (as that term is defined in the Securities Act of British Columbia) of the Company, before they may be exercised must be approved by the members of the Company.  Management proposes that the members grant the directors a general authority to amend the provisions of stock options granted to insiders of the Company pursuant to such terms as are in accordance with the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).


The approval of disinterested shareholder will be sought at the meeting to amend a 100,000 common shares stock options granted to Michael W. Hibbitts, an officer of the Company, at an exercise price of $6.50 and previously approved by the shareholder and accepted by the Toronto Stock Exchange. The amendments will include the  extension of the expiry date from April 13, 2006 to April 13, 2009 and the change of the vesting terms to 50,000 common shares to vest on January 1, 2005 and the remaining 50,000 common shares to vest January 1, 2006.

STOCK OPTION PLAN


In accordance with Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) (the "Exchange") policies, the directors of the Company adopted the DRC Resources Corporation Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") in 2003.  The Plan, approved by the disinterested shareholders and accepted by Toronto Stock Exchange, complied with the requirements of Exchange Policy set out prior to January 1, 2005 in Sections 627 - 637.3 of the old TSX Company Manual.  Under the Plan, up to 20% of the common shares of the Company may be reserved for issuance on the exercise of stock options.  The number of common shares of the Company currently reserved for issuance under the Plan and  other share compensation arrangements totals 800,000 common shares, equal to 5.38% of the Company's issued and outstanding  common shares as at the record date.  


The Plan is described in detail in the 2003 Information Circular filed on the SEDAR website (SEDAR.com) and the Company's website at drcresources.com.  Upon request, a copy will be provided free of charge to security holders.


The Company proposes to amend the Plan, by changing the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan from 1,000,000 common shares to 10% of the outstanding capital of the Company on an evergreen (reloading) basis, (Stock Option Plan [2005]).  Under the regulations of the Toronto Stock Exchange, "evergreen" means that as the outstanding capital of the Company increases by issuance of shares the number eligible to be granted under the Plan will increase to the 10% level and the percentage amounts of options exercised will automatically be reloaded into the 10% eligible under the Plan.


The amended Plan (2005) was conditionally approved by the TSX on March 10, 2005 subject to disinterested shareholder approval.  Renewed disinterested shareholder approval will be required every subsequent third year.


The policies of the Exchange require that a change to the Plan from a fixed number of shares reserved under the Plan to 10% of the issued capital on an evergreen basis be approved by disinterested shareholders of the Company.  The approval of disinterested shareholders of the Company means the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting, other than the 2,997,751 votes attached to Shares beneficially owned by the insiders of the Company to whom the options may be granted under the Plan, or their associates and affiliates.  A copy of the Stock Option Plan (2005) is attached hereto as Schedule "A" and pursuant to Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) Section 613(d) detailed disclosure is outlined below in this Information Circular.


Particulars of the Plan


The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Plan required pursuant to Section 613(d) of the TSX Manual.  


(i)

Stock options may be granted to directors, senior officers, employees, consultants and service providers of the Company (and any subsidiary of the Company) and management company employees.  For the purpose of the Plan, the terms, "service provider" and "insider" have the meanings set out in TSX Company Policy Manual, Section 613.



10





Under the Plan, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") may, from time to time, designate a director or other senior officer or employee of the Company as administrator (the "Administrator") for the purposes of administering the Plan.


(ii)

The issuance of stock options to acquire up to 10% of the outstanding capital of the Company on an evergreen (reloading) basis, (Stock Option Plan [2005]).  Under the regulations of the Toronto Stock Exchange, "evergreen" means that as the outstanding capital of the Company increases by issuance of shares the number eligible to be granted under the Plan will increase to the 10% level and the percentage amounts of options exercised will automatically be reloaded into the 10% eligible under the Plan.  Options to acquire no more than 5% of the issued shares of the Company may be granted to any one individual in any 12 month period.


   The following outlines the total number of options previously granted under the Plan    and outside of the Plan:


Number Securities Issued Under Grant of Option

Percentage of Outstanding Capital for Options Granted Under the Plan

Percentage of Outstanding Capital for Options Granted Outside the Plan

600,000

4.30%

 

100,000

0.72%

 

50,000

(iv)

The number of Shares issuable to any one Optionee under the Plan, together with all of the Company's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, shall not exceed 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis.


(v)

The price at which an option holder may purchase a common share upon exercise of a stock option will be as set forth in the option agreement issued in respect of such option and in any event will not be less than the market price of the Company's common shares as of the date of the grant of the stock option "the Grant Date").  The market price of the Company's common shares for a particular Grant Date will typically be the closing trading price of the Company's common shares on the day immediately preceding the Grant Date, or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Plan.


(vi)

The purchase price of options granted under the Plan cannot be below market price.


(vii)

There are no stock appreciation rights (SAR) associated with options Granted under the Plan.




11




(viii)

There is no provision under the Plan to transform stock options into stock appreciation rights.


(ix)

Stock options granted under the Plan vest 4 months after the date of grant unless otherwise specified in the Stock Option Agreement.


(x)

The Plan provides that it is solely with the discretion of the Board to determine who should receive stock option and in what amount.


(xi)

The causes of cessation of entitlement are as follows:

(a)

options held by an option holder who is a director, employee, consultant or management company employee must expire on the expiry day or within 365 days after the option holder ceases to be a director, employee, consultant or management company employee for reason of death or disability;

(b)

options held by option holders who are terminated for cause will expire on date of termination;

(c)

options held by an option holder who ceased to be a director, employee, consultant or management company employee must expire on the expiry day or within 30 days after the option holder ceases to be a director, employee, consultant or management company employee for reason of early retirement, voluntary resignation or termination other than for cause; and

(d)

a director's or senior officer's stock option will expire immediately in the event a director or senior officer ceases to be a director or senior officer of the company as a result of (i) ceasing to meet the qualification under the Company Act (British Columbia), (ii) the passing of a special resolution by the shareholders or (iii) an order made by a regulatory authority.


(xii)

Options will be non-assignable and non-transferable except that they will be exercisable by the personal representative of the option holder in the event of the option holder's death.

(xiii)

Regulatory approval must be obtained if an option granted under the plan is amended as to the reduction of price and the extension of the exercise period.  Amendment to the terms of the Plan will be subject to approval of the shareholders and disinterested shareholder approval in the case of amendments made to insiders.


(xiv)

The Company will not offer financial assistance to facilitate the purchase of shares under the arrangement of the Plan.


(xv)

The Plan shall be effective only upon the approval of the shareholders of the Company given by way of an ordinary resolution, and subsequent approval or the Plan is required to be obtained on or before the third (3rd) anniversary of the adoption of the Plan and thereafter on or before each successive three year period.  Options granted under this Plan prior to such approval shall only be exercised upon the receipt of such approval.


The Plan provides that other terms and conditions may be attached to a particular stock option, such

terms and conditions to be referred to in a schedule attached to the option agreement.  The vesting schedule for each stock option will also be set out in the schedule attached to the option agreement.


In no case will a stock option be exercisable at a price less than the minimum price prescribed by each of the organized trading facilities or the applicable regulatory authorities that would apply to the award of the stock option in question.


The Plan provides that options cannot be granted to employees, consultants or management company employees that are not bona fide employees, consultants or management company employees, as the case may be.


Common shares will not be issued pursuant to stock options granted under the Plan until they have been fully paid for by the option holder.  


Options granted are determined by the Board of Directors or by a committee of the directors based on its review of the performance of the directors, officers, consultants and employees.


Shareholders of the Company will be asked at the annual meeting to approve an amendment to the Plan by passing the following ordinary resolution, which requires an affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by "disinterested shareholders" at the Meeting:


"RESOLVED that:


1.

the amendment to the Company's Stock Option Plan (2005) as amended (the "Amended Plan") as described in the Information Circular dated March 22, 2005, subject to any modifications by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), be approved to change the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan from 1,000,000 common shares to 10% of the outstanding capital of the Company on an evergreen (reloading) basis, which at March 22, 2005 totaled 1,394,176 common shares;  


2.

the Company's board of directors or any committee thereof, be by resolution authorized to make such amendments to the Amended Plan, from time to time, as may, in its discretion, be considered appropriate, provided always that such amendments will be subject to the approval of all applicable regulatory authorities; and


3.

in certain cases, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Plan, the disinterested shareholders and any director or officer of the Company, signing alone, be authorized to execute and deliver all such documents and instruments, and to do such further acts as may be necessary to give full effect to these resolutions or as may be required to carry out the full intent and meaning thereof."

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS AND INSURANCE


The Articles of the Company provide that the Company shall indemnify any directors, former directors, officers and former officers, and certain other persons in similar positions against all costs reasonably incurred by them in any civil, criminal or administrative proceedings to which they are or may be made a party by reason of being or having been a director, officer or person in a similar position of the Company or its subsidiary or by reason of serving in a similar capacity with other entities at the Company's request.  The indemnity covers amounts paid to settle actions or to satisfy judgments, but may only be paid if the person claiming the indemnity has acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests and, in the case of a criminal or civil proceeding, if the person had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.  Payment of any indemnity in connection with an action brought by or on behalf of us requires prior court approval.  The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement reflecting the above terms with each of its directors and officers.


The Company has purchased insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers against liability incurred by them as directors and officers, subject to certain limitations contained in the Company's Articles and as outlined in the insurance policy.  For the period from March 15, 2004 to March 15, 2005 the Company's insurance policy provided coverage to directors and officers in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000, subject to a deductible of $50,000 per occurrence.  The $92,000 premium for this insurance in fiscal 2004 was paid by the Company.  For the period March 15, 2005 to March 15, 2006, the policy provides coverage to the Company's directors and officers in the aggregate of $5,000,000, subject to a deductible of $50,000 per occurrence.  The premium for the 2005 fiscal year for this insurance was approximately $110,000 paid by the Company.  The dramatic increase in the premiums for this policy is due to the Company's listing on the American Stock Exchange which required the Company to carry coverage in the United States.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


The Toronto Stock Exchange requires listed companies to disclose their corporate governance practices with reference to a set of guidelines for effective corporate governance recommended in the final report of the Toronto Stock Exchange Committee on Corporate Governance in Canada (the "Guidelines").  The Guidelines address matters such as constitution and independence of corporate boards, the functions to be performed by boards and their committees, and the effectiveness and education of board members. The following sets out the principal components of the Guidelines, and indicates the extent to which the Company complies with them.

The mandate of the board's Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee includes succession planning and monitoring the performance of senior management.


The board periodically reviews the arrangements initiated by management, under the general supervision of the chief financial officer, to ensure effective communications with the public.  The board has also approved the Communication Policy established by the Company to comply with the disclosure policies of governing regulatory authorities.


The board's CFO reviews compliance with financial reporting obligations, applicable accounting principles and the Audit Committee reviews  appropriate internal controls.  The Audit Committee meets with DRC external auditors once in each fiscal quarter, reviews interim results and reports to the board.

REPLACEMENT OF ARTICLES AND AMENDMENT OF THE NOTICE OF ARTICLES


The new British Columbia Business Corporations Act (the "New Act") came into force on March 29, 2004, replacing the British Columbia Company Act (the "Former Act").  The Board of Directors of the Company approved the transition of the Company under the New Act and the filing of the transition application containing a notice of articles (the "Notice of Articles"), which replaced the existing memorandum of the Company.


Under the New Act, the Company is a "pre-existing company" and as such is subject to the provisions of the New Act, including the Pre-Existing Company Provisions ("Pre-Existing Provisions") set forth in Table 3 to the Business Corporations Regulation (British Columbia).  Every pre-existing company is required to file with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies ("Registrar") within two years of March 29, 2004 a transition application under the New Act ("Transition Application") with a Notice of Articles which is to replace a company's existing memorandum.  The only information contained in the Notice of Articles is the name of the company and any translation thereof, the names of the directors and officers, the addresses of the registered and records offices and the authorized share structure restated from a company's existing memorandum or articles.  A pre-existing company that fails to file a Transition Application by March 29, 2006 will be subject to dissolution by the Registrar. Further, a pre-existing company that has not transitioned under the New Act may not effect any changes to its existing memorandum or articles.


The Board of Directors have determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to adopt new articles (the "New Articles") to replace its existing articles (the "Existing Articles") to take advantage of certain business flexibilities available under the New Act.  The New Articles proposed to be adopted at the Meeting are the form of Articles prescribed by Regulation under the New Act, with the change thereto described below with respect to the Chairman's casting vote in the event of a deadlock in the proceedings of directors.  A copy of the prescribed form of Articles with the change thereto proposed for adoption by the Company as the New Articles may be obtained by a shareholder

requesting a copy to be mailed to the shareholder and is available for inspection at the head office of the Company (#601-595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia) during normal business hours.


The Board of Directors has also determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to amend the Notice of Articles by changing the authorized capital of the Company from 40,000,000 common shares without par value to an unlimited number of common shares without par value pursuant to the New Act.


Set out below is a discussion of the changes in the Company's Existing Articles that will be effected by adoption of the New Articles, as well as the changes which Management proposes making to the prescribed form of Articles.  Several substantive changes effected by adoption of the New Articles are discussed below. As a result of changes under the New Act, the New Articles incorporate a number of non-substantive changes, including the use of the new terminology adopted under the New Act, which are not discussed in detail because they reflect statutory requirements that the Company cannot alter or amend..  For example, "members" are now "shareholders" and "register of members" is now "central securities register" under the New Act.





19




The following is a discussion of the substantive changes effected by adoption of the proposed form of New Articles.


Borrowing Powers


Under the Existing Articles, the Company may borrow money, issue debt and mortgage, pledge, or give security on the undertaking, or on the whole or any part of the property and assets, of the Company (both present and future).  However, under the New Act, companies are now also permitted, without restriction, to guarantee repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation of any other person.  This change reflects the modernization of corporate legislation to effectively respond to increasingly complex financial transactions that companies may enter into in the course of their business.  As a result, the New Articles will permit the Company to guarantee the repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation of any other person.  Management believes that it is in the best interest of the Company to allow for such a guarantee to permit the Company the maximum flexibility in possible future financial transactions, recognizing the duties directors have to ensure that the guarantee must always be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.


Directors Authority to Set Auditor's Remuneration


Under the New Act, the Company is, subject to shareholder approval, permitted to include in the proposed New Articles authorization for the directors to set the remuneration paid to the auditors of the Company.  The Former Act required the shareholders to set the remuneration or the shareholders to authorize, on an annual basis, the directors to set the remuneration.  Historically, shareholders of the Company have authorized the directors to appoint the auditors and to set the auditor's remuneration.  Hence, authorizing directors to set the auditor's remuneration in the New Articles merely codifies existing practice.  In addition, this change also conforms to new corporate governance rules and regulations relating to audit committees and the appointment and remuneration of auditors.


Delivery of Documents to Shareholders


The New Act allows and the proposed New Articles will permit the delivery of documents to a shareholder by facsimile transmission, email and any other method permitted under securities legislation, so long as the shareholder consents and provides its facsimile number, email address or other authorized delivery method.  This change reflects recent developments under securities legislation.  As part of its efforts to modernize and adopt new, less expensive methods of shareholder communication, management believes it is in the best interests of the Company to allow for facsimile transmission, email and other permitted methods of delivery of documents to shareholders.  As a result, the New Articles will allow the Company to deliver documents to shareholders by facsimile transmission, email and other methods permitted by securities legislation.


Proxies


The New Act allows and the New Articles will permit shareholders to deposit their proxies for shareholder meetings through Internet or telephone voting services, in addition to the usual methods of mail or facsimile delivery.  This reflects a general movement by corporations to adopt easier and



20




faster ways for shareholders to communicate with companies.  As part of its efforts to modernize and adopt new, less expensive methods of shareholder communication, management believes it is in the best interests of the Company to allow for proxies to be deposited using the Internet or telephone voting services.


Special Majority for Resolutions


Under the Former Act, the majority of votes required to pass a special resolution at a general meeting was three -quarters of the votes cast on a resolution. Under the New Act, the Company is authorized to determine whether a special resolution requires two-thirds or three-quarters of the votes cast on a resolution.  The Existing Articles did not state what the majority was for a special resolution, as this matter was dealt with under the Former Act.  The New Articles provide that a special resolution requires a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast on a resolution.  In addition, the New Articles provide that the quorum for a general meeting be two persons present representing 5% of the issued shares personally or by proxy, rather than 10% of the issued shares which is the present quorum requirement.


Voting at Meetings (Directors and/or Shareholders)


Under the Existing Articles the chair of meetings of directors does not have a second or casting vote in addition to the vote or votes to which the chair may be entitled as a shareholder.  The New Articles provide that in the case of an equality of votes the chair of the meeting of directors does have a second or casting vote in addition to the vote or votes to which the chair may be entitled as a shareholder.   This provision constitutes a variation from the voting provisions set out in the prescribed form of Articles under the New Act.


Share Issuances


Under the Former Act, the maximum discount or commission payable on the issuance of a share of the Company was 25%.  Under the New Act the Company is, subject to shareholder approval, now permitted to avoid setting a numerical maximum for a discount or commission payable on the issuance of a share but rather limit any discount or commission by a test of reasonableness.  The New Articles provide that the Company be permitted to pay or offer the commission or discount as permitted in the New Act.  Management of the Company believes that a maximum or any limit may not address the circumstances nor meet the test of reasonableness in such circumstances.  A limit is in fact imposed on any discount or commission amounts payable by the requirement that directors act reasonably and in the best interests of the Company, with the result that the Company is protected while greater flexibility is provide in deciding possible future transactions.

Resolutions Required


Under the New Act, the Company is, subject to shareholder approval, now permitted to set out in its New Articles the type of approval required for certain corporate changes.  This provision of the New Act reflects an increasing need for companies to react and adapt to changing business conditions and to have a system in place that allows for quick responses.  Under the New Act, a Company may choose different thresholds of support for specific resolutions, including changes such as the subdivision and consolidation of its shares and Company name changes. Under the Former Act,



21




changes such as subdivision, consolidation and name changes were required to be approved by shareholders.  Traditionally, where these changes are proposed between annual general meetings of shareholders, it would require that the Company hold a special general meeting to have the change approved.  This is very expensive for the Company, often resulting in unnecessary delays and costs.


The proposed New Articles provide for the following matters to require a directors' resolution only, and not require a shareholders' resolution:


(b)

a subdivision of all or any of the unissued, or fully paid, issued shares;

(c)

a consolidation of all or any of the unissued, or fully paid, issued shares; and

(d)

a change of name of the Company.


Other capital and share structure changes will continue to require approval by either an ordinary or special resolution of the shareholders as before the adoption of the New Articles.  Management believes that it would be in the best interest of the Company to allow directors to pass resolutions to authorize the above changes so that the Company can react and adapt to changing business conditions in a more timely and less costly manner.


The following are changes to the provisions contained in the New Act which have an effect on provisions contained in the Existing Articles:


Officers


Under the Existing Articles, the Company was required to have at least a President and Secretary as officers, and there had to be separate individuals holding those positions.  In addition, the President was required to be a director of the Company.  These were requirements under the Former Act.  However, under the New Act, those requirements no longer exist, and the form of New Articles do not contain these requirements.  Management and the Board of Directors believe that removing these restrictions the Company will permit to Company to better meet its corporate governance obligations as to membership of the board of directors.


Publication of Advance Notice of Meeting


Under the Existing Articles, the Company was required to publish an advance notice of a general meeting of shareholders at which directors were to be elected in the manner required under the Former Act.  Under the New Act, the Company is no longer required to publish an advance notice of general meetings of shareholders at which directors are to be elected. The proposed New Articles will have no requirement to publish advance notice of the meeting.


Share Certificates


Under the Existing Articles, a shareholder is entitled to a share certificate representing the number of shares of the Company he or she holds.  Under the New Act, a shareholder is now entitled to a share certificate representing the number of shares of the Company he or she holds or a written acknowledgement of the shareholder's right to obtain such a share certificate.  As a result, the New Articles have been amended to provide for this additional right.  The addition of the ability to issue a written acknowledgement is very useful for public companies such as the Company, since it permits



22




flexibility in corporate and securities transmissions.


Disclosure of Interest of Directors


Under the New Act, the provisions relating to the disclosure of interests by directors have been revised and updated.  As directors of the Company are bound by these provisions, the New Articles will contain no reference to the old disclosure of interest provisions and refer to the provisions contained in the New Act.


Indemnity Provision


Under the Former Act, the Company could only indemnify directors if it obtained prior court approval, except in certain limited circumstances.  The Existing Articles provided for the Company to indemnify directors, subject to the requirements of the Former Act. The New Act permits the Company to indemnify a past or present director or officer of the Company without obtaining prior court approval in respect of an "eligible proceeding."  An "eligible proceeding" includes any legal proceeding relating to the activities of the individual as a director or officer of the Company.  However, under the New Act, the Company will be prohibited from paying an indemnity if:

(i)

the party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the

             

Company;

(ii)

the proceeding was not a civil proceeding and the party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful; and

(iii)

the proceeding is brought against the party by the Company or an associated corporation.


The proposed New Articles will allow the Company to indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents, subject to the limits imposed under the New Act.  Management believes that it is in the best interest of the Company to allow the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents, subject to the limits and conditions of the New Act.


Holding of Annual General Meetings


Under the Former Act, annual general meetings were required to be held within 13 months of the last annual general meeting.  The New Act allows for annual general meetings to be held once in each calendar year and not more than 15 months after the last annual general meeting. The proposed New Articles reflect this provision.


Location of Annual General Meetings


Under the Former Act, annual general meetings were required to be held in British Columbia, unless the Registrar of Companies (the "Registrar") approved a location outside British Columbia.  The New Act allows for annual general meetings to be held outside British Columbia without the need to obtain the Registrar's approval, if the articles of a company so provide.  The proposed New Articles reflect this provision of the New Act.


Shareholders of the Company will be asked at the Meeting to pass the following special resolution:

3.2

Limits on Shares Issuable on Exercise of Options

The maximum number of Shares to be reserved for issuance and which may in the aggregate be issuable pursuant to options granted under the Plan shall not exceed 10 % of the outstanding issued capital of the Company on an "evergreen" (reloading) basis pursuant to the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) or such additional amount as may be approved from time to time by the shareholders of the Company.  The number of Shares issuable to any one Optionee under the Plan, together with all of the Company's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, shall not exceed 5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis.  The number of Shares which may be issuable under the Plan, together with all of the Company's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, to any one Optionee who is an Insider and any Associates of such Insider, shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding issue within a one-year period,

28




4.

EXERCISE OF OPTION

4.1

When Options May be Exercised

Subject to sections 4.3 and 4.4, an Option may be exercised to purchase any number of Shares up to the number of Vested Unissued Option Shares at any time after the Grant Date up to 5:00 p.m. local time on the Expiry Date and shall not be exercisable thereafter.  

4.2

Manner of Exercise

The Option shall be exercisable by delivering to the Company a notice specifying the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised together with payment in full of the Option Price for each such Share.  Upon notice and payment there will be a binding contract for the issue of the Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised, upon and subject to the provisions of the Plan.  Delivery of the Optionee's cheque payable to the Company in the amount of the Option Price shall constitute payment of the Option Price unless the cheque is not honoured upon presentation in which case the Option shall not have been validly exercised.

4.3

Vesting of Option Shares

Subject to the policies of the Exchanges, the Directors may determine and impose terms upon which each Option shall become Vested in respect of Option Shares.

4.4

Termination of Employment

If an Optionee ceases to be a director, officer or Service Provider of the Company or one of the Company's subsidiaries, his or her Option shall be exercisable as follows:

(a)

Death or Disability

If the Optionee ceases to be a director, officer or Service Provider of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, due to his or her death or Disability or, in the case of an Optionee that is a company, the death or Disability of the person who provides management or consulting services to the Company or to any entity controlled by the Company, the Option then held by the Optionee shall be exercisable to acquire Vested Unissued Option Shares at any time up to but not after the earlier of:

(i)

365 days after the date of death or Disability; and

(ii)

the Expiry Date;

(b)

Termination For Cause

If the Optionee, or in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who falls under the definition of Service Provider set out in subsection 2.19 (c), the Optionee's employer, ceases to be a director, officer or Service Provider of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company as a result of termination for cause, as that term is interpreted by the courts of the jurisdiction in which the Optionee, or, in the case of the Optionee who satisfies the definition of Service Provider set out in subparagraph 2.19 (c), of the Optionee's employer, is employed or engaged; any outstanding Option held by such Optionee on the date of such termination, whether in respect of Option Shares that are Vested or not, shall be cancelled as of that date.

(c)

Early Retirement, Voluntary Resignation or Termination Other than For Cause



29




If the Optionee or, in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who falls under the definition of Service Provider set out in subparagraph 2.19 (c), the Optionee's employer, ceases to be a director, officer or Service Provider of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company due to his or her retirement at the request of his or her employer earlier than the normal retirement date under the Company's retirement policy then in force, or due to his or her termination by the Company other than for cause, or due to his or her voluntary resignation, the Option then held by the Optionee shall be exercisable to acquire Vested Unissued Option Shares at any time up to but not after the earlier of the Expiry Date and the date which is 30 days, or such shorter period as may be prescribed by the policies of the Exchanges, after the Optionee or, in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who falls under the definition of Service Provider set out in subparagraph 2.19 (c), the Optionee's employer, ceases to be a director, officer or Service Provider of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

For greater certainty, an Option that had not become Vested in respect of certain Unissued Option Shares at the time that the relevant event referred to in this paragraph 4.4 occurred, shall not be or become exercisable in respect of such Unissued Option Shares and shall be cancelled.

4.5

Effect of a Take-Over Bid

If a bona fide offer (an "Offer") for Shares is made to the Optionee or to shareholders of the Company generally or to a class of shareholders which includes the Optionee, which Offer, if accepted in whole or in part, would result in the offeror becoming a control person of the Company, within the meaning of subsection 1 (1) of the Securities Act, the Company shall, immediately upon receipt of notice of the Offer, notify each Optionee of full particulars of the Offer, whereupon all Option Shares subject to such Option will become Vested and the Option may be exercised in whole or in part by the Optionee so as to permit the Optionee to tender the Option Shares received upon such exercise, pursuant to the Offer.  However, if:

(a)

the Offer is not completed within the time specified therein; or

(b)

all of the Option Shares tendered by the Optionee pursuant to the Offer are not taken up or paid for by the offeror in respect thereof,

then the Option Shares received upon such exercise, or in the case of clause (b) above, the Option Shares that are not taken up and paid for, may be returned by the Optionee to the Company and reinstated as authorized but unissued Shares and with respect to such returned Option Shares, the Option shall be reinstated as if it had not been exercised and the terms upon which such Option Shares were to become Vested pursuant to paragraph 4.3 shall be reinstated.  If any Option Shares are returned to the Company under this paragraph 4.5, the Company shall immediately refund the exercise price to the Optionee for such Option Shares

4.6

Acceleration of Expiry Date

If at any time when an Option granted under the Plan remains unexercised with respect to any Unissued Option Shares, an Offer is made by an offeror, the Directors may, upon notifying each Optionee of full particulars of the Offer, declare all Option Shares issuable upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan, Vested, and declare that the Expiry Date for the exercise of all unexercised Options granted under the Plan is accelerated so that all Options will either be exercised or will expire prior to the date upon which Shares must be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

4.7

Effect of a Change of Control

If a Change of Control occurs, all Option Shares subject to each outstanding Option will become Vested,



30




whereupon such Option may be exercised in whole or in part by the Optionee.

4.8

Exclusion From Severance Allowance, Retirement Allowance or Termination Settlement

If the Optionee, or, in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who falls under the definition of Service Provider set out in subsection 2.19 (c), the Optionee's employer, retires, resigns or is terminated from employment or engagement with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, the loss or limitation, if any, pursuant to the Option Agreement with respect to the right to purchase Option Shares which were not Vested at that time or which, if Vested, were cancelled, shall not give rise to any right to damages and shall not be included in the calculation of nor form any part of any severance allowance, retiring allowance or termination settlement of any kind whatsoever in respect of such Optionee.

4.9

Shares Not Acquired

Any Unissued Option Shares not acquired by an Optionee under an Option which has expired may be made the subject of a further Option pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

5.

ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION PRICE AND NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES

5.1

Share Reorganization

Whenever the Company issues Shares to all or substantially all holders of Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution, or subdivides all outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, or combines or consolidates all outstanding Shares into a lesser number of Shares (each of such events being herein called a "Share Reorganization") then effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or other distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or consolidation, for each Option:

(a)

the Option Price will be adjusted to a price per Share which is the product of:

(i)

the Option Price in effect immediately before that effective date or record date; and

(ii)

a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares outstanding on that effective date or record date before giving effect to the Share Reorganization, and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares that are or would be outstanding immediately after such effective date or record date after giving effect to the Share Reorganization; and

(b)

the number of Unissued Option Shares will be adjusted by multiplying (i) the number of Unissued Option Shares immediately before such effective date or record date by (ii) a fraction which is the reciprocal of the fraction described in subsection (a)(ii).

5.2

Special Distribution

Subject to the prior approval of the Exchanges, whenever the Company issues by way of a dividend or otherwise distributes to all or substantially all holders of Shares;

(a)

shares of the Company, other than the Shares;

(b)

evidences of indebtedness;

(c)

any cash or other assets, excluding cash dividends (other than cash dividends which the Board



31




of Directors of the Company has determined to be outside the normal course); or

(d)

rights, options or warrants;

then to the extent that such dividend or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a "Special Distribution"), and effective immediately after the record date at which holders of Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution, for each Option the Option Price will be reduced, and the number of Unissued Option Shares will be correspondingly increased, by such amount, if any, as is determined by the Board in its sole and unfettered discretion to be appropriate in order to properly reflect any diminution in value of the Option Shares as a result of such Special Distribution.

5.3

Corporate Organization

Whenever there is:

(a)

a reclassification of outstanding Shares, a change of Shares into other shares or securities, or any other capital reorganization of the Company, other than as described in sections 5.1 or 5.2;

(b)

a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into another corporation resulting in a reclassification of outstanding Shares into other shares or securities or a change of Shares into other shares or securities; or

(c)

a transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Company's undertaking and assets become the property of another corporation;

(any such event being herein called a "Corporate Reorganization") the Optionee will have an option to purchase (at the times, for the consideration, and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Plan) and will accept on the exercise of such option, in lieu of the Unissued Option Shares which he would otherwise have been entitled to purchase, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property that he would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Corporate Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the holder of all Unissued Option Shares or if appropriate, as otherwise determined by the Directors.

5.4

Determination of Option Price and Number of Unissued Option Shares

If any questions arise at any time with respect to the Option Price or number of Unissued Option Shares deliverable upon exercise of an Option following a Share Reorganization, Special Distribution or Corporate Reorganization, such questions shall be conclusively determined by the Company's auditor, or, if they decline to so act, any other firm of Chartered Accountants in Vancouver, British Columbia, that the Directors may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records and such determination will be binding upon the Company and all Optionees.

5.5

Regulatory Approval

Any adjustment to the Option Price or the number of Unissued Option Shares purchasable under the Plan pursuant to the operation of any one of paragraphs 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 is subject to the approval of the Exchanges and any other governmental authority having jurisdiction.





32




6.
