MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

as at May 27, 2026

(except as otherwise indicated)

This management information circular (the “ Circular ”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of BeWhere Holdings Inc. (the “ Company ”) for use at the annual general and special meeting (the “ Meeting ”) of the holders of common shares of the Company (collectively, the “ Shareholders ” or individually, a “ Shareholder ”) to be held on Thursday, June 25, 2026, at the time and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the Meeting (the “ Notice ”).

In this Circular, references to the “ Company ”, “ we ” and “ our ” refer to BeWhere Holdings Inc. “ Common Shares ” means common shares without par value in the capital of the Company. “ Beneficial Shareholders ” means Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name and “ Intermediaries ” refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities on behalf of Beneficial Shareholders.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation.

Except as noted below, the Company has distributed or made available for distribution, copies of the Notice, the Circular and form of proxy or voting instruction form (if applicable) (collectively, the “ Meeting Materials ”) to the Intermediaries for distribution to Beneficial Shareholders whose Common Shares are held by or in custody of such Intermediaries. Such Intermediaries are required to forward such documents to Beneficial Shareholders unless a Beneficial Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. The Company does not intend to pay for the delivery of the Meeting Materials to objecting beneficial owners (as defined below) by the Intermediaries, and objecting Beneficial Shareholders will not receive the materials unless their Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery. The Company is sending proxy-related materials directly to non-objecting beneficial owners (as defined below), through the services of its transfer agent and registrar, Olympia Trust Company (“ Olympia Trust ”). The solicitation of proxies from Beneficial Shareholders will be carried out by the Intermediaries or by the Company if the names and addresses of the Beneficial Shareholders are provided by Intermediaries. The Company will pay the permitted fees and costs of Intermediaries incurred in connection with the distribution of the Meeting Materials. The Company is not relying on the notice-and-access provisions of securities laws for delivery of the Meeting Materials to registered Shareholders or Beneficial Shareholders.

The Company will hold the Meeting in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via live webcast. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Meeting in person. Shareholders will have an equal opportunity to participate at the Meeting online regardless of their geographic location. At the Meeting, Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions and vote in “real time” on a number of important matters. Beneficial Shareholders may view the Meeting through https://portal.agmconnect.com/pxlogin, but will not have the ability to vote virtually or ask questions through the live webcast. See “ Voting and Participating at the Meeting ”.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDERS

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the “ Proxy ”) are officers and/or directors of the Company. If you are a Shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or corporation other than either of the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend online and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so by inserting the name of that other person AND providing a valid email address in the blank spaces provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.

Shareholders who wish to appoint a third-party proxyholder to represent them at the Meeting must submit their Proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) prior to registering their proxyholder. Registering the proxyholder is an additional step once a Shareholder has submitted their Proxy. Failure to register a duly appointed proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a username to participate in the Meeting. To register a proxyholder, Shareholders must contact Olympia Trust by email at [email protected] by Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) and provide Olympia Trust with their proxyholder’s contact information, so that the proxyholder may receive a Meeting Access Code and Voter ID via e-mail.

VOTING BY PROXYHOLDER

The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to:

  1. each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors;

  2. any amendment to or variation of any matter identified in the Notice; and

  3. any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

At the time of the printing of this Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice. However, if any other matters which at present are not known to management of the Company should properly come before the Meeting, the Proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the management Appointee acting as a proxyholder will vote in favour of each matter identified on the Proxy and, if applicable, for the nominees of management for directors and auditors as identified in the Proxy.

Registered Shareholders

Registered Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting through the live webcast. A registered Shareholder may complete, date and sign the Proxy and return it to the Company’s transfer agent, Olympia Trust, to submit the Proxy using one of the following methods:

  1. by internet, go to https://css.olympiatrust.com/pxlogin and enter the 12 digit control number listed on the back of the Proxy;

  2. by mail to PO Box 128, STN M, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2H6;

2

  1. by hand delivery to 520 – 3rd Avenue SW, Suite 4000, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 0R3;

  2. by email to [email protected]; or

  3. by fax at 1-403-668-8307.

In any case, you must ensure the Proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in Ontario) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof. Failure to complete or deposit a Proxy properly may result in its invalidation.

Beneficial Shareholders

The following information is of significant importance to Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name . Beneficial Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by registered Shareholders (those whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares) or as set out in the following disclosure.

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. 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 The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms), and in the United States (the “ U.S. ”), under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Corporation (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks).

Common Shares held by Intermediaries or their nominees can only be voted for or against resolutions upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting Common Shares for their clients. Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholder meetings. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients. You should carefully follow the instructions of your broker or Intermediary in order to ensure that your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.

The form of document supplied to you by your broker will be often similar to the Proxy provided to registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Intermediary on how to vote your Common Shares on your behalf. Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“ Broadridge ”) in Canada and in the U.S. Broadridge typically mails a voting instruction form (a “ VIF ”) in lieu of a Proxy provided by the Company. The VIF will name the same persons as the Company’s Proxy to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder of the Company), other than any of the persons designated in the VIF to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting and that person may be you. To exercise this right, insert the name of the desired representative (which may be you), in the blank space provided in the VIF. The completed VIF must then be returned to Broadridge by mail or facsimile or given to Broadridge by phone or over the internet, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, the VIF must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted at the Meeting, or to have an alternate representative duly appointed to attend the Meeting and vote your Common Shares.

Note to Non-Objecting Beneficial Shareholders

Under National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“ NI 54-101 ”), Beneficial Shareholders are either:

  1. non-objecting beneficial owners ” or “ NOBOs ”, being Beneficial Shareholders who do not object to the disclosure by the Intermediary of ownership information about the Beneficial Shareholder; or

  2. objecting beneficial owners ” or “ OBOs ”, being Beneficial Shareholders who object to the disclosure by the Intermediary of ownership information about the Beneficial Shareholder.

The Company is sending the Meeting Materials directly to NOBOs and has appointed Olympia Trust as its agent for this purpose.

Included in the Meeting Materials for NOBOs is a VIF sent by Olympia Trust which requests instructions from the Beneficial Shareholder regarding voting of Common Shares to be voted at the Meeting. In the case of NOBOs resident in foreign jurisdictions, an Intermediary VIF (as defined below) is sent on behalf of the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. Beneficial Shareholders are requested to complete and return the VIF at the address set forth in the VIF. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can vote on the internet, by e-mail or fax, by following the instructions in the VIF.

These security holder materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

If the Beneficial Shareholder is an OBO or a NOBO resident in a foreign jurisdiction, included in the Meeting Materials is a voting information form (the “ Intermediary VIF ”) sent on behalf of the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The Intermediary VIF requests instructions from the Beneficial Shareholder regarding voting of Common Shares to be voted at the Meeting. Beneficial Shareholders are requested to complete and return the Intermediary VIF at the address set forth in the Intermediary VIF. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can vote on the internet or by e-mail or fax, by following the instructions in the Intermediary VIF.

The Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward to OBOs under NI 54-101 the proxyrelated materials and the Intermediary VIF, and the OBO will not receive the materials unless the OBO’s Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

If the Beneficial Shareholder wishes to attend the Meeting and vote in person, or if the Beneficial Shareholder wishes to appoint another person to attend the Meeting and vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder, the Beneficial Shareholder must insert the name of the Beneficial Shareholder or other person in the space provided in the VIF or the Intermediary VIF, as applicable, sign and date same, and mail same at the address set forth in the VIF or the Intermediary VIF. Alternatively, the Beneficial Shareholder or other person may be designated on the internet by following the instructions in the VIF or the Intermediary VIF, as applicable. Unless prohibited by law, the person whose name is written in the space provided in the VIF or the Intermediary VIF will have full authority to present matters to the Meeting and, provided that the voting section of the VIF or Intermediary VIF is not filled in, vote on all matters that are presented at the Meeting, even if those matters are not set out in the VIF or the Intermediary VIF or this Circular. The

4

Beneficial Shareholder should consult a legal advisor if the Beneficial Shareholder wishes to modify the authority of that person in any way.

All references to Shareholders in this Circular and the accompanying Proxy and Notice are to Shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise. Where documents are stated to be available for review or inspection, such items will be shown upon request to registered Shareholders who produce proof of their identity.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No director or executive officer of the Company, or any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year of the Company, nor any nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting other than the election of directors. See “ Election of Directors ”.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) has fixed Thursday, May 21, 2026 as the record date (the “ Record Date ”) for determination of persons entitled to receive the Notice. Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either attend the Meeting online or complete, sign and deliver a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above will be entitled to vote or to have their Common Shares voted at the Meeting.

As of the Record Date, there were 97,108,502 Common Shares issued and outstanding, each carrying the right to one vote. No group of Shareholders has the right to elect a specified number of directors, nor is there cumulative or similar voting rights attached to the Common Shares.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, there are no persons or companies who beneficially own, or control or direct, directly or indirectly voting securities carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding voting securities of the Company.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Votes Necessary to Pass Resolutions

A simple majority of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass the resolutions described herein. If there are more nominees for election as directors than there are vacancies to fill, or another auditor is nominated, those nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected or appointed, as the case may be, until all such vacancies have been filled. If the number of nominees for election or appointment is equal to the number of vacancies to be filled, all such nominees will be declared elected or appointed by acclamation.

Election of Directors

Pursuant to the Articles of the Company, the Board has set the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting at seven (7). Shareholders will therefore be asked to elect seven (7) directors to the Board, namely: Owen Moore, Chris Panczuk, Paul Christie, Joanne De Laurentiis, Nauby Jacob, Luke Ibbetson and Peter Wilcox.

The term of office of each of the current directors will end at the conclusion of the Meeting. Unless the

7

director’s office is vacated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the Act, each director elected will hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or if no director is then elected, until a successor is elected.

COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF EACH OF THE PROPOSED NOMINEES UNLESS A SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN HIS, HER OR ITS PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR NOMINEE OR NOMINEES. MANAGEMENT DOES NOT CONTEMPLATE THAT ANY OF SUCH NOMINEES WILL BE UNABLE TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS. HOWEVER, IF FOR ANY REASON, ANY OF THE PROPOSED NOMINEES DO NOT STAND FOR ELECTION OR ARE UNABLE TO SERVE AS SUCH, PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED FOR ANOTHER NOMINEE IN THEIR DISCRETION UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN HIS, HER OR ITS PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR NOMINEE OR NOMINEES.

Nomination of Directors

A Shareholder wishing to nominate an individual to be a director, other than pursuant to a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the Act or a Shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the Act, is required to comply with s. 14.12 “Nomination of Directors” (the “ Advance Notice Provision ”) of the Company’s Articles. The Advance Notice Provision provides that written prescribed notice of any such nomination to be made at the Meeting must be given to the Corporate Secretary of the Company prior to May 26, 2026.

Approval of the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

The Company is seeking shareholder approval to replace the “fixed” stock option plan of the Company (the “ Existing Option Plan ”) with the omnibus equity incentive plan (the “ Omnibus Plan ”). The Board determined that it is desirable to have a wide range of incentive awards, including stock options, deferred share units, restricted share units and performance share units (collectively, the “ Awards ”) to attract, retain and motivate Employees, Directors, Officers and Consultants of the Company (as such terms are defined in the Omnibus Plan). The Omnibus Plan permits the grant of Options, Deferred Share Units (“ DSUs ”), Restricted Share Units (“ RSUs ”), and Performance Share Units (“ PSUs ”) to eligible Participants (as defined in the Omnibus Plan). Upon approval, the Omnibus Plan shall replace the Existing Option Plan and will continue to be effective until the date it is terminated by the Board in accordance with the Omnibus Plan. All Options previously granted under the Existing Option Plan will be governed by the terms of the Omnibus Plan. The following summary of the Omnibus Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Omnibus Plan, attached as Schedule “A” to this Circular.

Purpose

The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants to reward such of those Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants as may be granted Awards under the Omnibus Plan by the Board from time to time for their contributions toward the long term goals and success of the Company and

12

to enable and encourage such Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants to acquire Common Shares as long term investments and proprietary interests in the Company.

Types of Awards

The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of Awards which may be denominated or settled in Common Shares, cash or in such other forms as provided for in the Omnibus Plan. All Awards will be evidenced by an agreement or other instrument or document (each, an “ Award Agreement ”).

Plan Administration

The Omnibus Plan will be administered by the Board, which may delegate its authority to any duly authorized committee of the Board (the “ Plan Administrator ”). The Plan Administrator has sole and complete authority, in its discretion, to:

  • (a) determine the Participants to whom grants of Awards under the Omnibus Plan may be made;

  • (b) make grants of Awards under the Omnibus Plan, whether relating to the issuance of Common Shares or otherwise (including any combination of Options, RSUs, PSUs, DSUs or Other ShareBased Awards), in such amounts, to such Participants and, subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, on such terms and conditions as it determines, including, without limitation:

  • (i) the time or times at which Awards may be granted;

  • (ii) the conditions under which: (A) Awards may be granted to Participants; or (B) Awards may be forfeited to the Company, including any conditions relating to the attainment of specified performance goals;

  • (iii) the number of Common Shares to be covered by any Award;

  • (iv) the price, if any, to be paid by a Participant in connection with the purchase of Common Shares covered by any Awards;

  • (v) whether restrictions or limitations are to be imposed on the Common Shares issuable pursuant to grants of any Award, and the nature of such restrictions or limitations, if any; and

  • (vi) subject to any rules of the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSXV ”), any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, or waiver of termination regarding any Award, based on such factors as the Plan Administrator may determine;

  • (c) establish the form or forms of Award Agreements;

  • (d) cancel, amend, adjust or otherwise change any Award under such circumstances as the Plan Administrator may consider appropriate in accordance with the provisions of the Omnibus Plan;

  • (e) construe and interpret the Omnibus Plan and all Award Agreements;

  • (f) adopt, amend, prescribe and rescind administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Omnibus Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws; and

13

  • (g) make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the Omnibus Plan.

Common Shares Available for Awards

The Omnibus Plan is a “fixed” Security Based Compensation Plan, pursuant to which: (i) the number of Common Shares that are issuable pursuant to the exercise of Options (including the Options governed by the Existing Option Plan) granted in aggregate is a maximum of 7,277,513 Common Shares; and (ii) the number of Common Shares that are issuable pursuant to all Awards granted thereunder, including any dividend equivalents credited in the form of DSUs or RSUs, other than Options granted pursuant to the Omnibus Plan and under any other security based compensation arrangement, in aggregate is a maximum of 7,277,513 Common Shares, in each case, subject to adjustment as provided in the Omnibus Plan and any subsequent amendment to the Omnibus Plan.

The aggregate number of Common Shares: (a) issued to Consultants within any one-year period, under all of the Company’s security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 2% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares; (b) issued to any one individual within any one-year period, under all of the Company’s security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 5% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless disinterested shareholder approval has been obtained; (c) issued to Persons employed to provide investor relations services within any one-year period, under all of the Company’s security based compensation arrangements, may not exceed 2% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares; (d) issuable to Insiders (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) at any time under all of the Company’s security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless disinterested shareholder approval has been obtained; and (e) issued to Insiders within any one-year period, under all of the Company’s security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless disinterested shareholder approval has been obtained. In each of the foregoing cases, security based compensation arrangements shall include any dividend equivalents credited in the form of DSUs or RSUs.

Blackout Period

In the event that the Award Date (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) occurs, or an Award expires, during a Black-Out Period (as defined herein), the effective Award Date for such Award, or expiry of such Award, as the case may be, will be no later than 10 business days after the last day of the Black-Out Period, and the Market Price (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) with respect to the grant of such Award shall be calculated based on the Market Price as of the last business day after the last day of the Black-Out Period. For the purposes hereof, a “ Black-Out Period ” means that period during which a trading black-out period is imposed by the Company to restrict trades in the Company’s securities by a Participant.

Description of Awards

Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, including with respect to performance and vesting conditions, the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, grant the following types of Awards to any Participant.

(a) Options

An Option entitles a holder thereof to purchase a Common Share at an exercise price set at the time of the grant, such price must in all cases be not less than the Market Price on the relevant date. Each Option will

14

expire on the expiry date specified in the Award Agreement (which shall not be later than the 10th anniversary of the date of grant) or, if not so specified, means the 10th anniversary of the date of grant.

A Participant or the Personal Representative of the Participant (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) may elect to exercise such Options on a cashless basis, which means the exercise of an Option where the Company has an arrangement with a brokerage firm pursuant to which the brokerage firm will loan money to the Participant to purchase the Common Shares underlying the Option and then the brokerage firm sells a sufficient number of Common Shares to cover the exercise price of the Option in order to repay the loan made to the Participant and receives an equivalent number of Common Shares from the exercise of the Options as were sold to cover the loan and the Participant then receives the balance of the Common Shares or the cash proceeds from the balance of the Common Shares.

Other than a person conducting investor relations activities, a Participant or the Personal Representative of the Participant may elect to exercise an Option without payment of the aggregate exercise price of the Common Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option (a “ Net Exercise ”) by delivering a net exercise notice to the Plan Administrator. Upon receipt by the Plan Administrator of a net exercise notice from a Participant or Personal Representative of a Participant, the Company shall calculate and issue to such Participant or Personal Representative of such Participant that number of Common Shares as is determined by application of the following formula:

X=[Y(A-B)]/A

Where:

X = the number of Common Shares to be issued to the Participant upon the Net Exercise

Y = the number of Common Shares underlying the Options being exercised

A = the VWAP as at the date of the net exercise notice, if such VWAP is greater than the exercise price

B = the exercise price of the Options being exercised

(b) Deferred Share Units

A DSU is a unit that vests one year or more following a grant but does not settle until a future date after the vesting, generally as established in the Award Agreement, or if not so established, then upon termination of service with the Company. The number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (a) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in DSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator by (b) the Market Price on the relevant date.

DSUs shall be settled on the date established in the Award Agreement; provided, however that in no event shall a DSU be settled prior to, or later than one year following, the date of the applicable Participant’s separation from service. Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan, and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, on the settlement date for any DSU, the Participant will redeem each vested DSU for a Common Share, a cash payment, or a combination thereof.

Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, DSUs will be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Common Shares. Dividend equivalents will vest in proportion to the DSUs to which they relate and will be settled in the same manner as the DSUs.

15

(c) Restricted Share Units

An RSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Common Share that does not vest until after a specified period, or satisfaction of other vesting conditions as determined by the Plan Administrator. The number of RSUs (including fractional RSUs) granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (a) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in RSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (b) the Market Price of a Common Share on the relevant date.

The Plan Administrator will have the sole authority to determine the settlement terms applicable to the grant of RSUs. Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan, and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, on the settlement date for any RSU, the Participant will redeem each vested RSU for a Common Share, a cash payment, or a combination thereof.

Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, RSUs will be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Common Shares. Dividend equivalents will vest in proportion to the RSUs to which they relate and will be settled in the same manner as the RSUs.

(d) Performance Share Units

The Plan Administrator will issue performance goals prior to the date of grant to which such performance goals pertain. The performance goals may be based upon the achievement of corporate, divisional or individual goals and may be applied to performance relative to an index or comparator group, or on any other basis determined by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may modify the performance goals as necessary to align them with the Company’s corporate objectives, subject to any limitations set forth in an Award Agreement or other agreement with a Participant. The performance goals may include a threshold level of performance below which no payment will be made (or no vesting will occur), levels of performance at which specified payments will be made (or specified vesting will occur) and a maximum level of performance above which no additional payment will be made (or at which full vesting will occur), all as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

Each PSU will consist of a right to receive a Common Share, cash payment, or a combination thereof, upon the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as the Plan Administrator may establish.

(e) Other Share-Based Awards

Each Other Share-Based Award shall consist of a right (a) which is other than an Award or right described above, and (b) which is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Common Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Common Shares) as are deemed by the Plan Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Omnibus Plan; provided, however, that such right will comply with applicable law. Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Plan Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of Other Share-Based Awards.

Effect of Termination on Awards

The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the Participants under the Omnibus Plan, including termination for cause, resignation, termination without cause, disability, death or retirement, subject, in each case, to the terms of a Participant’s employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement:

16

Event Provisions Provisions
Termination for cause Forfeiture of any unexercised Option or other Award.
Resignation Forfeiture of any unexercised Option or other Award
Termination without cause Any Option or other Award that is not vested as of the termination date
shall be cancelled. Vested Options or other Awards may be exercised at
any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the
expiry date of such Award; and (B) 90 days after the termination date
(or such other period as may be determined by the Board, provided such
period is not more than one year following the termination date).
Death Any Option or other Award that has not vested as of the date of the death
of such Participant shall terminate. Vested Options or other Awards may
be exercised at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier
of: (A) the expiry date of such Award; and (B) the six month anniversary
of the date of the death of the Participant.
Disability Any Option or other Award that has not vested as of the date of the
disability of such Participant shall terminate. Vested Options or other
Awards may be exercised at any time during the period that terminates
on the earlier of: (A) the expiry date of such Award; and (B) the six
month anniversary of the date of disability of the Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion and subject to any rules of the TSXV, permit the acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards or waive termination of any or all Awards, all in the manner and on the terms as may be authorized by the Plan Administrator.

Except as may be set forth in an employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and the Participant or as set out in the Omnibus Plan, the Plan Administrator may, without the consent of any Participant and subject to any rules of the TSXV, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable, including to cause:

  • (a) the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Awards into or for, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent value, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, in any entity participating in or resulting from a Change in Control (as defined in the Omnibus Plan);

  • (b) outstanding Awards to vest and become exercisable, realizable or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award to lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such Change in Control, and, to the extent the Plan Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Change in Control;

  • (c) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction net of any exercise price payable by the Participant (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction, the Plan Administrator determines, in good faith, that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights net of any exercise price payable by the Participant, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment);

17

  • (d) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Board in its sole discretion; or

  • (e) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the foregoing actions, the Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set out in the Omnibus Plan, if, as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Shares will cease trading on a stock exchange, the Company may terminate all of the Awards granted under the Omnibus Plan at the time of and subject to the completion of the Change in Control by paying to each holder an amount for each Award equal to the fair market value of the Award held by such Participant as determined by the Plan Administrator, acting reasonably.

Assignability

Except as required by law, the rights of a Participant under the Omnibus Plan are not capable of being assigned, transferred, alienated, sold, encumbered, pledged, mortgaged or charged and are not capable of being subject to attachment or legal process for the payment of any debts or obligations of the Participant.

Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Omnibus Plan

The Plan Administrator may from time to time, without notice and without approval of the Shareholders, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the Omnibus Plan or any Awards granted pursuant thereunder as it, in its discretion, determines appropriate, provided, however, that: (a) no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination may materially impair any rights of a Participant or materially increase any obligations of a Participant under the Omnibus Plan without the consent of the Participant, unless the Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable securities laws or TSXV requirements; and (b) any amendment that would cause an Award held by a U.S. taxpayer to be subject to the additional tax penalty under the U.S. tax code will be null and void with respect to the U.S. taxpayer unless his or her consent is obtained.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the below, the Plan Administrator may, without shareholder approval, at any time or from time to time, amend the Omnibus Plan for the purposes of making:

  • (a) any amendments to the general vesting provisions of each Award;

  • (b) any amendment regarding the effect of termination of a participant’s employment or engagement;

  • (c) any amendments to add covenants of the Company for the protection of Participants, provided that the Plan Administrator must be of the good faith opinion that such additions will not be prejudicial to the rights or interests of the Participants;

  • (d) any amendments not inconsistent with the Omnibus Plan as may be necessary or desirable with respect to matters or questions which, in the good faith opinion of the Plan Administrator, having in mind the best interests of the Participants, it may be expedient to make, including amendments that are desirable as a result of changes in law in any jurisdiction where a Participant resides, provided that the Plan Administrator must be of the opinion that such amendments and modifications will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Participants and non-employee directors; or

18

  • (e) any such changes or corrections which, on the advice of counsel to the Company, are required for the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error, provided that the Plan Administrator must be of the opinion that such changes or corrections will not be prejudicial to the rights and interests of the Participants.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to any rules of the TSXV, shareholder approval will be required for any amendment, modification or change that:

  • (a) increases the percentage of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan, except pursuant to the provisions in the Omnibus Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Company or its capital;

  • (b) increases or removes the 10% limits on Common Shares issuable or issued to Insiders;

  • (c) reduces the exercise price of an Award, except pursuant to the provisions in the Omnibus Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Company or its capital;

  • (d) extends the term of an Award beyond the original expiry date (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period applicable to the Participant);

  • (e) permits an Award to be exercisable beyond 10 years from its date of grant (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period);

  • (f) increases or removes the non-employee director participation limits;

  • (g) changes the eligible participants of the Omnibus Plan; or

  • (h) deletes or reduces the range of amendments which require shareholder approval.

The Board has unanimously approved the Omnibus Plan and recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the resolution regarding the Omnibus Plan. The complete text of the resolution which management intends to place before the Meeting for approval, confirmation and adoption, with or without modification, is as follows:

WHEREAS the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange require annual shareholder approval for the implementation of the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “ Omnibus Plan ”) of BeWhere Holdings Inc. (the “ Company ”);

RESOLVED THAT:

  1. the Omnibus Plan, in the form attached as Schedule “A” to the management information circular dated May 27, 2026 of the Company, is hereby authorized and approved; and

  2. any one officer and director of the Company be and is hereby authorized for and on behalf of the Company to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents and to perform and do all such acts and things as may be deemed advisable in such individual’s discretion for the purpose of giving effect to this resolution, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination.”

19

COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE OMNIBUS PLAN IN THE ABSENCE OF DIRECTION TO THE CONTRARY FROM THE SHAREHOLDER APPOINTING THEM. AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST BY SHAREHOLDERS AT THE MEETING IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE OMNIBUS PLAN.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the board of directors of a company, whose members are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders of the Company. Corporate governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the board of directors from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the board of directors recognizes the principles of good management. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices as such practices are both in the interests of Shareholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decision-making.

Board of Directors

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably

expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment. The Board facilitates its independent supervision over management by holding regular meetings at which members of management or non-independent directors are not in attendance and by retaining independent consultants where it deems necessary.

The independent members of the Board are: Paul Christie, Joanne De Laurentiis, Nauby Jacob, Luke Ibbetson and Peter Wilcox.

The non-independent directors are Owen Moore (President and Chief Executive Officer) and Chris Panczuk (Chief Operating Officer).

A majority of the Board are independent directors.

Directorships

Mr. Ibbetson is presently a director of AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS).

Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are appointed, they receive an orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Company’s properties, business, technology and industry and on the responsibilities of directors.

Each new director has a discussion with the existing members covering all Board members and committee mandates and responsibilities, and the time commitment and contribution expected of each member. Each new director also has an opportunity to discuss the business and procedures of the Board and the Company with the external auditors and legal counsel. The Company has prepared a Directors’ Manual for all new directors, which includes all Company mandates, all director policies and procedures and a summary of certain filing requirements.

Management provides a presentation of the Company’s business and affairs. Management also provides copies of the latest news releases and is available to any director to discuss the business and affairs of the Company.

There has, at present time, been no formal continuing education process adopted. However, senior management endeavours to ensure that the Board is kept apprised of changes affecting the Company’s business and of changes in any legal, regulatory and industry requirements and standards. Board members are entitled to attend such seminars or educational programs as each may determine necessary to keep abreast of current issues relevant to their services as directors.

Ethical Business Conduct

Any individual director is required to disclose fully to the Board his or her material interest in any transaction which the Company is considering entering. In the event of such declaration the independent directors will review the nature and terms of the proposed agreement to ascertain and confirm that the proposed agreement is being considered on commercially reasonable arm’s-length terms. The Board adopted an Insider Trading Policy in April 2007 and a Disclosure Policy in November 2006.

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual directors’ participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests

22

of the Company.

Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the Shareholders for election at the annual general meeting of Shareholders, considering the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.

The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Company, this policy will be reviewed.

Currently, the Board during its regular meetings is encouraged to identify new candidates for Board nomination. In this process, the Board is asked to consider the needs of the Company, the competencies and skills of the proposed nominees and the Company’s requirement to maintain a mix of relevant skills and knowledge with a view to adding value to the Company and its Shareholders. The nominee is then approved by the Board and the nominee is approved and invited to join the Board.

Compensation

The Board has not yet established a compensation committee. Currently, the Board reviews all compensation of officers and directors and considers such factors as comparable compensation within the industry and time required to perform the duties and responsibilities.

Other Board Committees

The Board has no committees other than the Audit Committee.

Assessments

The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and the Audit Committee. In view of the size and current state of the Company’s development and the number of directors on the Board, the Board has not felt it necessary at the present time to adopt a formal process to assess Board, committee and individual director effectiveness. In view of the frequency of both formal and informal Board meetings during the year and the small number of directors there is ample opportunity for each director to assess the effectiveness of all other directors. The Company is not proposing to adopt a formal process for assessment at the present time.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Named Executive Officer

In this section Named Executive Officer (“ NEO ”) means the Chief Executive Officer (the “ CEO ”), the Chief Financial Officer (the “ CFO ”) and the highest compensated executive officer, other than the CEO and CFO, who was serving as executive officer at the end of the most recently completed financial year and whose total compensation was more than $150,000 as well as any additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided except that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of the Company at the end of the most recently completed financial year.

Owen Moore, CEO, Rajiv Khanna, CFO and Chris Panczuk, COO, are each NEOs of the Company for the purposes of the following disclosure.

23

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The compensation of the Company’s NEOs has been established with a view to attracting and retaining executives critical to the Company’s short and long-term success and to continue to provide executives with compensation that is in accordance with existing market standards generally and competitive within industry.

Compensation of the Company’s NEOs is comprised of a base salary, the reimbursement of expenses incurred by each NEO, and the grant of options to purchase Common Shares (“ Options ”) under the Existing Option Plan (as more particularly described below). Through its executive compensation practices, the Company seeks to provide value to its Shareholders through strong executive leadership. Specifically, the Company’s executive compensation structure seeks to attract and retain talented and experienced executives necessary to achieve the Company’s strategic objectives, motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to the Company’s success, and align the interest of the Company’s executives and Shareholders by motivating executives to increase Shareholder value.

The Board has not conducted a formal evaluation of the implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies. Risk management is a consideration of the Board when implementing its compensation policies and the Board does not believe that the Company’s compensation policies result in unnecessary or inappropriate risk taking including risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company does not prohibit any NEO or director from purchasing financial instruments including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director.

See also the disclosure under “ Corporate Governance – Compensation ”, above.

Narrative Description of Option-Based And Share-Based Plans

The Company maintains the Existing Option Plan which provides that the Board may allocate nontransferable Options to Employees, Directors and Consultants, as defined in the policies of the TSXV (the “ Exchange Policies ”) of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the Existing Option Plan, the aggregate number of Common Shares to be delivered upon the exercise of all Options granted under the Existing Option Plan shall not exceed 6,606,189 Common Shares as at the time of granting of Options; unless the Company has obtained disinterested Shareholder approval as provided for in the Exchange Policies, no individual shall, during any 12 month period, be granted an Option which exceeds 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company at the time of granting of the Option; no Consultant to the Company shall, during any 12 month period, be granted an Option which exceeds 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company at the time of granting of the Option; no Employee conducting investor relations activities for the Company shall, during any 12 month period, be granted an Option which exceeds 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company at the time of granting of the Option; and the exercise price can only be at such price permitted by the Exchange Policies. Options under the Existing Option Plan are non-assignable (except in the event of death) and may be exercisable for a

27

term of up to ten years. If the expiry date of the Option falls within a blackout period, or within nine business days following the expiration of a blackout period, the expiry date of the Option is automatically extended to the tenth business day after the end of the blackout period. If an optionee ceases to be an Employee, Director or Consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries for any reason (other than for cause or death), the Option shall terminate within a reasonable period not to exceed 12 months (as fixed in the agreement evidencing the Option) next succeeding the optionee ceasing to be in at least one of the foregoing categories. The Option shall terminate immediately if the optionee’s position is terminated for cause or if the optionee is removed as a director. The Option shall terminate within one year after the death of the optionee. The Board may, at its sole discretion, determine the time during which Options shall vest and the method of vesting, or that no vesting restriction shall exist.

Pension Plan Benefits

The Company does not have any pension plans, retirement plans or deferred compensation plans and does not pay pension benefits to any of its NEOs.

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

Other than as set out below, there is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement between the Company and any NEO that provides for payments to an NEO at, following, or in connection with any termination (whether voluntary, involuntary or constructive), resignation, retirement, a change in control of the Company or a change in the NEO’s responsibilities.

Pursuant to employment agreements between the Company and each of: Owen Moore, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; Chris Panczuk, the Chief Operating Officer of the Company; and Rajiv Khanna, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, if either one’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for any reason, the Company shall pay all accrued amounts of base salary, a pro-rata portion of the annual bonus, an amount equal to a base salary for a period of two years from the date of termination of employment and participation in employee benefits plans for a period of twelve months from the date of termination of employment. Termination of Mr. Moore’s, Mr. Panczuk’s or Mr. Khanna’s employment will be triggered if: (i) there is a substantial reduction in his responsibilities or status without his express written consent; (ii) the Company reduces the annual base salary; (iii) there is any material adverse change to compensation, including, but not limited to, base salary and incentives at the date of said termination; (iv) there is a requirement that he relocate or the Company fails to reimburse him for reasonable costs associated with relocation in a timely fashion; (v) termination was for any reason that would be considered to be constructive dismissal by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (vi) there is a change in control, as defined in the agreements. If the termination of employment in the foregoing circumstances occurred on the last business day of 2025, the amount that would be payable to Mr. Moore or Mr. Panczuk or Mr. Khanna, as applicable, would be $309,075 per year, $309,075 per year or $290,996 per year, respectively, payable monthly in arears, over the next two years.

4.5 Payment of Exercise Price

  • (a) Unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of granting an Option and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, the Exercise Notice must be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by cheque or in cash equivalent; (ii) if permitted by the Plan Administrator, applicable law and Exchange policies, by means of a Cashless Exercise (as defined herein), a Net Exercise (as defined herein), or by such other consideration as may be approved by the Plan Administrator from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law and Exchange policies, or (iii) by any combination thereof. The Plan Administrator may at any time or from time to time grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the Exercise Price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

  • (b) Subject to the Corporation having established a program or procedure pursuant to this Section 4.50, a Participant or the Personal Representative of the Participant may elect to exercise such Options on a cashless basis (a “ Cashless Exercise ”). A “Cashless Exercise” means the exercise of an Option where the Corporation has an arrangement with a brokerage firm pursuant to which the brokerage firm will loan money to the Participant to purchase the Shares underlying the Option and then the brokerage firm sells a sufficient number of Shares to cover the exercise price of the Option in order to repay the loan made to the Participant and receives an equivalent number of Shares from the exercise of the Options as were sold to cover the loan and the Participant then receives the balance of the Shares or the cash proceeds from the balance of the Shares. Pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, a Participant shall deliver a properly executed Exercise Notice together with irrevocable

A-13

instructions to a broker providing for assignment to the Corporation of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the Shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option. The Corporation reserves the right, in the Corporation’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise, including with respect to one or more Participants specified by the Corporation notwithstanding that such program or procedures may be available to other Participants.

  • (c) Other than a Person conducting Investor Relations Activities, a Participant or the Personal Representative of the Participant may elect to exercise an Option without payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option (a “ Net Exercise ”) by delivering a Net Exercise Notice to the Plan Administrator. Upon receipt by the Plan Administrator of a Net Exercise Notice from a Participant or Personal Representative of a Participant, the Corporation shall calculate and issue to such Participant or Personal Representative of such Participant that number of Shares as is determined by application of the following formula:

X=[Y(A-B)]/A

Where:

  • X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Participant upon the Net Exercise

  • Y = the number of Shares underlying the Options being exercised

  • A = the VWAP as at the date of the Net Exercise Notice, if such VWAP is greater than the Exercise Price

  • B = the Exercise Price of the Options being exercised

The Corporation may, but is not obligated to accept, any Net Exercise of which it receives notice. If the Corporation does accept such Net Exercise, no fractional Shares will be issued to any Participant or the Personal Representative of the Participant electing a Net Exercise. If the number of Shares to be issued to the Participant in the event of a Net Exercise would otherwise include a fraction of a Share, the Corporation will pay a cash amount to such Participant equal to (i) the fraction of a Share otherwise issuable multiplied by (ii) the value attributed to “A” in the formula set out above.

  • (d) Unless otherwise required by applicable laws, or as determined in the discretion of the Board or the Plan Administrator, the Exercise Price for Options shall be designated in Canadian dollars. A foreign Participant may be required to provide evidence that any currency used to pay the Exercise Price of any Option was acquired and taken out of the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides in accordance with applicable laws, including foreign exchange control laws and regulations. In the event the Exercise Price for an Option is paid in another foreign currency, if permitted by the Plan Administrator, the amount payable will be determined by conversion from Canadian dollars at the exchange rate as selected by the Plan Administrator on the date of exercise. For Participants subject to United States income tax, such conversion shall be determined in a manner which does not result in any adverse tax consequences to the Participant pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

  • (d) Each Electing Person who is not a U.S. Taxpayer is entitled once per calendar year to terminate his or her election to receive DSUs in lieu of Cash Fees by filing with the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation a notice in the form of Schedule “D” hereto. Such termination shall be effective immediately upon receipt of such notice, provided that the Corporation has not imposed a “black-out” on trading. Thereafter, any portion of such Electing Person’s Cash Fees payable or paid in the same calendar year and, subject to complying with Section 5.1(b), all subsequent calendar years shall be paid in cash. For greater certainty, to the extent an Electing Person terminates his or her participation in the grant of DSUs pursuant to this Article 5, he or she shall not be entitled to elect to receive the Elected Amount, or any other amount of his or her Cash Fees in DSUs in lieu of cash again until the calendar year following the year in which the termination notice is delivered. An election by a U.S. Taxpayer to receive the Elected Amount in DSUs in lieu of cash for any calendar year is irrevocable for that calendar year after the expiration of the election period for that year and any termination of the election will not take effect until the first

A-15

day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the termination notice in the form of Schedule “D” is delivered.

  • (e) Any DSUs granted pursuant to this Article 5 prior to the delivery of a termination notice pursuant to Section 5.1(d) shall remain in the Plan following such termination and will be redeemable only in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

  • (f) The number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) granted at any particular time pursuant to this Article 5 will be calculated by dividing (i) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in DSUs (including Director Fees and any Elected Amount), as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (ii) the Market Price of a Share on the Award Date.

  • (g) In addition to the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant DSUs to any Participant.

5.2 DSU Account

All DSUs received by a Participant (which, for greater certainty includes Electing Persons) shall be credited to an account maintained for the Participant on the books of the Corporation, as of the relevant date. The terms and conditions of each DSU grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

5.3 Vesting of DSUs

Except as provided in Sections 10.1 and 11.2, no DSUs issued to a Participant may vest before the date that is one year following the date they are granted.

5.4 Settlement of DSUs

  • (a) DSUs shall be settled on the date established in the Award Agreement; provided, however that in no event shall an Award in the form of a DSU be settled prior to, or later than one (1) year following, the date of the applicable Participant’s separation from service. In the case of a Participant (other than a Canadian Participant), in no event shall an Award in the form of a DSU be settled later than one (1) year following the date of the applicable Participant’s separation from service. If the Award Agreement does not establish a date for the settlement of the DSUs, then the settlement date shall be the date of separation from service, subject to the delay that may be required under Section 12.6(d) below in the case of a U.S. Participant. Subject to Section 12.6(d) below in the case of a U.S. Participant, and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, on the settlement date for any DSU, the Participant shall redeem each vested DSU for:

  • (i) one fully paid and non-assessable Share issued from treasury to the Participant or as the Participant may direct, or

  • (ii) a cash payment, or

  • (iii) a combination of Shares and cash as contemplated by paragraphs (i) and (ii) above,

in each case as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.

A-16

  • (b) Any cash payments made under this Section 5.4 by the Corporation to a Participant in respect of DSUs to be redeemed for cash shall be calculated by multiplying the number of DSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Market Price per Share as at the settlement date.

  • (c) Payment of cash to Participants on the redemption of vested DSUs may be made through the Corporation’s payroll in the pay period that the settlement date falls within.

ARTICLE 6 RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS

6.1 Granting of RSUs

  • (a) The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant RSUs to any Participant in respect of services rendered in the year of grant. The terms and conditions of each RSU grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

  • (b) The number of RSUs (including fractional RSUs) granted at any particular time pursuant to this Article 6 will be calculated by dividing (i) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in RSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (ii) the Market Price of a Share on the relevant date.

  • (i) one fully paid and non-assessable Share issued from treasury to the Participant or as the Participant may direct, or

  • (ii) a cash payment, or

  • (iii) a combination of Shares and cash as contemplated by paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, in each case as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.

  • (b) Any cash payments made under this Section 6.4 by the Corporation to a Participant in respect of RSUs to be redeemed for cash shall be calculated by multiplying the number of RSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Market Price per Share as at the settlement date.

A-17

  • (c) Payment of cash to Participants on the redemption of vested RSUs may be made through the Corporation’s payroll in the pay period that the settlement date falls within.

  • (d) Subject to Section 12.6(d) below and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, no settlement date for any RSU shall occur, and no Share shall be issued or cash payment shall be made in respect of any RSU, under this Section 6.4 any later than the final Business Day of the third calendar year following the year in which the RSU is granted.

ARTICLE 7 PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

7.1 Granting of PSUs

The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant PSUs to any Participant in respect of services rendered in the year of grant. The terms and conditions of each PSU grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each PSU will consist of a right to receive a Share, cash payment, or a combination thereof (as provided in Section 7.6(a)), upon the achievement of such Performance Goals during such performance periods as the Plan Administrator shall establish.

7.2 Terms of PSUs

The Performance Goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any PSUs granted, the termination of a Participant’s employment or consulting arrangement and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any PSU will be determined by the Plan Administrator and by the other terms and conditions of any PSU, all as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

7.3 Performance Goals

The Plan Administrator will issue Performance Goals prior to the Award Date to which such Performance Goals pertain. The Performance Goals may be based upon the achievement of corporate, divisional or individual goals, and may be applied relative to performance relative to an index or comparator group, or on any other basis determined by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may modify the Performance Goals as necessary to align them with the Corporation’s corporate objectives, subject to any limitations set forth in an Award Agreement or an employment agreement, consulting agreement or other agreement with a Participant. The Performance Goals may include a threshold level of performance below which no payment will be made (or no vesting will occur), levels of performance at which specified payments will be made (or specified vesting will occur), and a maximum level of performance above which no additional payment will be made (or at which full vesting will occur), all as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

A-18

  • (d) Subject to Section 12.6(d) below and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, no settlement date for any PSU shall occur, and no Share shall be issued or cash payment shall be made in respect of any PSU, under this Section 7.6 any later than the final Business Day of the third calendar year following the year in which the PSU is granted.

ARTICLE 8 OTHER SHARE-BASED AWARDS

The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan, the prior approval of the Exchange, and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant Other Share-Based Awards to any Participant. The terms and conditions of each Other Share-Based Award grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Other Share-Based Award shall consist of a right (1) which is other than an Award or right described in Article 4, Article 5, Article 6, and (2) which is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as are deemed by the Plan Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan; provided, however, that such right will comply with applicable law. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Plan Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of Other Share-Based Awards. Shares or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Article 8 will be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, other property, or any combination thereof, as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its discretion.

A-19

ARTICLE 9 ADDITIONAL AWARD TERMS

9.1 Dividend Equivalents

  • (a) Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, as part of a Participant’s grant of DSUs or RSUs (as applicable) and in respect of the services provided by the Participant for such original grant, DSUs and RSUs (as applicable) shall be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs or RSUs, as applicable, as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Shares. Such dividend equivalents shall be computed by dividing: (i) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Share by the number of DSUs or RSUs, as applicable, held by the Participant on the record date for the payment of such dividend, by (ii) the Market Price at the close of the first business day immediately following the dividend record date, with fractions computed to three decimal places. Dividend equivalents credited to a Participant’s account shall vest in proportion to the DSUs or RSUs, as applicable, to which they relate, and shall be settled in accordance with Section 6.4.

  • (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the settlement of dividend equivalents cause the maximum number of Shares issuable under the Plan’s reserve or participation limits (as described in Section 3.6 and Section 3.7) to be exceeded. If the Corporation does not have sufficient Shares available for issuance under the Plan’s reserve or participation limits to satisfy such dividend equivalents, such dividend equivalents shall be satisfied by the Corporation in cash.

  • (c) The foregoing does not obligate the Corporation to declare or pay dividends on Shares and nothing in this Plan shall be interpreted as creating such an obligation.

9.2 Blackout Period

In the event that the Award Date occurs, or an Award expires, during a Black-Out Period, the effective Award Date for such Award, or expiry of such Award, as the case may be, will be no later than 10 business days after the last day of the Black-Out Period, and the Market Price with respect to the grant of such Award shall be calculated based on the Market Price as of the last business day after the last day of the Black-Out Period. For the purposes hereof, a “Black-Out Period” means that period during which a trading black-out period is imposed by the Corporation to restrict trades in the Corporation’s securities by a Participant.

9.3 Withholding Taxes

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Plan, the granting, vesting or settlement of each Award under this Plan is subject to the condition that if at any time the Plan Administrator determines, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities is necessary or desirable in respect of such grant, vesting or settlement, such action is not effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator. In such circumstances, the Plan Administrator may require that a Participant pay to the Corporation the minimum amount as the Corporation or an Affiliate of the Corporation is obliged to withhold or remit to the relevant taxing authority in respect of the granting, vesting or settlement of the Award. Any such additional payment is due no later than the date on which such amount with respect to the Award is required to be remitted to the relevant tax authority by the Corporation or an Affiliate of the Corporation, as the case may be. Alternatively, and subject to any requirements or limitations under applicable law, the Corporation may (a) withhold such amount from any remuneration or

A-20

other amount payable by the Corporation or any Affiliate to the Participant, (b) require the sale of a number of Shares issued upon exercise, vesting, or settlement of such Award and the remittance to the Corporation of the net proceeds from such sale sufficient to satisfy such amount, or (c) enter into any other suitable arrangements for the receipt of such amount. This section will not supersede the requirements under Exchange Policy 4.4 nor potentially result in the alteration of the exercise price.

9.4 Recoupment

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Plan, Awards may be subject to potential cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback or other action in accordance with the terms of any clawback, recoupment or similar policy adopted by the Corporation or the relevant subsidiary of the Corporation and in effect at the Award Date of the Award, or as set out in the Participant’s employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement, or as otherwise required by law or the rules of the Exchange. The Plan Administrator may at any time waive the application of this Section 9.4 to any Participant or category of Participants.

ARTICLE 10 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES

10.1 Termination of Employees, Consultants, Directors and Officers

Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set forth in an employment agreement, consulting agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement (but in no event shall Options or Awards exceed one year following the Termination Date, death, or Disability of a Participant):

  • (a) where a Participant’s employment agreement, consulting agreement or arrangement is terminated, or the Participant ceases to hold the office of his or her position, as applicable, by reason of voluntary resignation by the Participant or termination by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation for Cause, then any Option or other Award held by the Participant that has not been exercised as of the Termination Date shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Termination Date;

  • (b) where a Participant’s employment agreement, consulting agreement or other position is terminated, or the Participant ceases to hold the office of his or her position, as applicable, by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation without Cause (whether such termination occurs with or without any or adequate reasonable notice, or with or without any or adequate compensation in lieu of such reasonable notice) then all unvested Options or other Awards shall terminate, and all vested Options or other Awards may be exercised or surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the Expiry Date of such Award; and (B) the date that is 90 days after the Termination Date (or such other period as may be determined by the Board, provided such period is not more than one year following the Termination Date). Any Option or other Award that remains unexercised or has not been surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant shall be immediately forfeited upon the termination of such period;

  • (c) where a Participant becomes Disabled, then any Option or other Award held by the Participant that has not vested as of the date of Disability of such Participant shall terminate, and all Options or other Awards that are vested as of the date of Disability may be exercised or surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the Expiry Date of such Award; and (B) the date that is six months after the date of Disability. Any Option or other Award that remains

A-21

unexercised or has not been surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant shall be immediately forfeited upon the termination of such period;

  • (d) where a Participant’s employment agreement, consulting agreement or arrangement is terminated, or the Participant ceases to hold office of his or her position, as applicable, by reason of the death of the Participant, then any Option or other Award held by the Participant that has not vested as of the date of the death of such Participant shall terminate, and all Options or other Awards that are vested as of the date of death and may be exercised or surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the Expiry Date of such Award; and (B) the six month anniversary of the date of the death of such Participant. Any Option or other Award that remains unexercised or has not been surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant shall be immediately forfeited upon the termination of such period;

  • (e) a Participant’s eligibility to receive further grants of Options or other Awards under this Plan ceases as of:

  • (i) the date that the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, as the case may be, provides the Participant with written notification that the Participant’s employment, consulting agreement or arrangement is terminated, notwithstanding that such date may be prior to the Termination Date; or

  • (ii) the date of the death, or Disability of the Participant; and notwithstanding Section 10.1(b), unless the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, otherwise determines, at any time and from time to time, Options or other Awards are not affected by a change of employment or consulting agreement or arrangement, or directorship within or among the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation for so long as the Participant continues to be a Director, Employee or Consultant, as applicable, of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation.

10.2 Discretion to Permit Acceleration

  • (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, at any time prior to, or following the events contemplated in such Section, or in an employment agreement, consulting agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation and the Participant, permit the acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards or waive termination of any or all Awards, all in the manner and on the terms as may be authorized by the Plan Administrator; provided that Awards may not be accelerated earlier than one year from the Award Date.

  • (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(a), the Plan Administrator may not permit the acceleration of vesting of any Options granted to any Persons employed to provide Investor Relations Activities without the prior written approval of the Exchange.

10.3 Participants’ Entitlement

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Awards previously granted under this Plan are not affected by any change in the relationship between, or ownership of, the Corporation and an Affiliate of the Corporation. For greater certainty, all grants of Awards remain outstanding and are not affected by reason only that, at any time, an Affiliate of the Corporation ceases to be an Affiliate of the Corporation.

A-22

ARTICLE 11 EVENTS AFFECTING THE CORPORATION

11.1 General

The existence of any Awards does not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its shareholders to make, authorize or determine any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or any other change in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, arrangement, merger or consolidation involving the Corporation, to create or issue any bonds, debentures, Shares or other securities of the Corporation or to determine the rights and conditions attaching thereto, to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or to effect any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise, whether or not any such action referred to in this Article 11 would have an adverse effect on this Plan or on any Award granted hereunder.

11.2 Change in Control

Except as may be set forth in an employment agreement, consulting agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation and the Participant:

  • (a) The Plan Administrator may, without the consent of any Participant and subject to any rules of the Exchange, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable, including to cause (i) the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Awards into or for, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent value, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, in any entity participating in or resulting from a Change in Control; (ii) outstanding Awards to vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award to lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such Change in Control, and, to the extent the Plan Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Change in Control; (iii) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction net of any exercise price payable by the Participant (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Plan Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights net of any exercise price payable by the Participant, then such Award may be terminated by the Corporation without payment); (iv) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Board in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 11.2(a), the Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Options held by a Canadian Taxpayer, the Plan Administrator may not cause the Canadian Taxpayer to receive (pursuant to this Section 11.2(a)) any property in connection with a Change of Control other than rights to acquire shares of a corporation or units of a “mutual fund trust” (as defined in the Tax Act), of the Corporation or a “qualifying person” (as defined in the Tax Act) that does not deal at arm’s length (for purposes of the Tax Act) with the Corporation, as applicable, at the time such rights are issued or granted.

  • (b) Notwithstanding Section 11.2(a), and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, if, as a result of a Change in Control, the Shares will cease trading on an Exchange, then the Corporation may terminate all of the Awards granted under this Plan

A-23

(other than Options held by Canadian Taxpayers) at the time of and subject to the completion of the Change in Control transaction by paying to each holder at or within a reasonable period of time following completion of such Change in Control transaction an amount for each Award equal to the fair market value of the Award held by such Participant as determined by the Plan Administrator, acting reasonably, or in the case of Options held by a Canadian Taxpayer by permitting the Canadian Taxpayer to surrender such Options to the Corporation for an amount for each such Option equal to the fair market value of such Option as determined by the Plan Administrator, acting reasonably, upon the completion of the Change in Control (following which such Options may be cancelled for no consideration).

  • (c) It is intended that any actions taken under this Section 11.2 will comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to Awards granted to U.S. Taxpayers.

11.3 Reorganization of Corporation’s Capital

Should the Corporation effect a subdivision or consolidation of Shares or any similar capital reorganization or a payment of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend that is in lieu of a cash dividend), or should any other change be made in the capitalization of the Corporation that does not constitute a Change in Control and that would warrant the amendment or replacement of any existing Awards in order to adjust the number of Shares that may be acquired on the vesting of outstanding Awards and/or the terms of any Award in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards, the Plan Administrator will, subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, authorize such steps to be taken as it may consider to be equitable and appropriate to that end.

11.4 Other Events Affecting the Corporation

In the event of an amalgamation, combination, arrangement, merger or other transaction or reorganization involving the Corporation and occurring by exchange of Shares, by sale or lease of assets or otherwise, that does not constitute a Change in Control and that warrants the amendment or replacement of any existing Awards in order to adjust the number of Shares that may be acquired on the vesting of outstanding Awards and/or the terms of any Award in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards, the Plan Administrator will, subject to the prior approval of the Exchange (if required), authorize such steps to be taken as it may consider to be equitable and appropriate to that end.

11.5 Immediate Acceleration of Awards

Subject to any rules of the Exchange, in taking any of the steps provided in Sections 11.3 and 11.4, the Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly and where the Plan Administrator determines that the steps provided in Sections 11.3 and 11.4 would not preserve proportionately the rights, value and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards in the circumstances or otherwise determines that it is appropriate, the Plan Administrator may, but is not required, to permit the immediate vesting of any unvested Awards.

11.6 Issue by Corporation of Additional Shares

Except as expressly provided in this Article 11, neither the issue by the Corporation of shares of any class or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, nor the conversion or exchange of such shares or securities, affects, and no adjustment by reason thereof is to be made with respect to the number of Shares that may be acquired as a result of a grant of Awards or other entitlements of the

A-24

Participants under such Awards.

11.7 Fractions

No fractional Shares will be issued pursuant to an Award. Accordingly, (whether as a result of any adjustment under this Article 11, a dividend equivalent or otherwise), a Participant would become entitled to a fractional Share, the Participant has the right to acquire only the adjusted number of full Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Shares, which shall be disregarded.

ARTICLE 12 U.S. TAXPAYERS

12.1 Provisions for U.S. Taxpayers

Options granted under this Plan to U.S. Taxpayers may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options qualifying under Section 422 of the Code (“ ISOs ”). Each Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement as either an ISO or a non-qualified stock option. The Corporation shall not be liable to any Participant or to any other Person if it is determined that an Option intended to be an ISO does not qualify as an ISO.

12.2 ISOs

Subject to any limitations in Section 3.63.6(a), the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance in respect of granted ISOs shall not exceed 10,000,000 Shares, and the terms and conditions of any ISOs granted to a U.S. Taxpayer on the Award Date hereunder, including the eligible recipients of ISOs, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, and the terms, conditions, limitations and administrative procedures established by the Plan Administrator from time to time in accordance with this Plan. At the discretion of the Plan Administrator, ISOs may be granted to any employee of the Corporation, or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation”, as such terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code.

12.3 ISO Grants to 10% Shareholders

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, if an ISO is granted to a person who owns shares representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Corporation or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation”, as such terms are defined in Section 424(e) and (f) of the Code, on the Award Date, the term of the Option shall not exceed five years from the time of grant of such Option and the Exercise Price shall be at least 110% of the Market Price of the Shares subject to the Option.

12.4 $100,000 Per Year Limitation for ISOs

To the extent the aggregate Market Price as at the relevant date of the Shares for which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any person during any calendar year (under all plans of the Corporation) exceeds $100,000, such excess ISOs shall be treated as non-qualified stock options.

12.5 Disqualifying Dispositions

Each person awarded an ISO under this Plan shall notify the Corporation in writing immediately after the date he or she makes a disposition or transfer of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such ISO if such disposition or transfer is made (a) within two years from the Award Date or (b) within one year after the date such person acquired the Shares. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other

A-25

transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the person in such disposition or other transfer. The Corporation may, if determined by the Plan Administrator and in accordance with procedures established by it, retain possession of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO as agent for the applicable person until the end of the later of the periods described in (a) or (b) above, subject to complying with any instructions from such person as to the sale of such Shares.

12.6 Section 409A of the Code

  • (a) This Plan will be construed and interpreted to be exempt from, or where not so exempt, to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent required to preserve the intended tax consequences of this Plan. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the Code. The Corporation reserves the right to amend this Plan to the extent it reasonably determines is necessary in order to preserve the intended tax consequences of this Plan in light of Section 409A of the Code. In no event will the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates be liable for any tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant under Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

  • (b) All terms of the Plan that are undefined or ambiguous must be interpreted in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code if necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

  • (c) The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion and subject to any rules of the Exchange, may permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of payment of a U.S. Taxpayer’s vested Awards in the Plan under circumstances that constitute permissible acceleration events under Section 409A of the Code.

  • (d) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of any “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code who is a U.S. Taxpayer, distributions of non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code made in connection with a “separation from service” within the meaning set forth in Section 409A of the Code may not be made prior to the date which is six months after the date of separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the U.S. Taxpayer). Any amounts subject to a delay in payment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid as soon practicable following such six-month anniversary of such separation from service.

12.7 Section 83(b) Election

If a Participant makes an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to an Award of Shares subject to vesting or other forfeiture conditions, the Participant shall be required to promptly file a copy of such election with the Corporation.

A-26

ARTICLE 13 AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

13.1 Amendment, Suspension, or Termination of the Plan

The Plan Administrator may from time to time, without notice and without approval of the holders of voting shares of the Corporation, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the Plan or any Awards granted pursuant to the Plan as it, in its discretion, determines appropriate, provided, however, that:

  • (a) no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination of the Plan or any Awards granted hereunder may materially impair any rights of a Participant or materially increase any obligations of a Participant under the Plan without the consent of the Participant, unless the Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable Securities Laws or Exchange requirements; and

  • (b) any amendment that would cause an Award held by a U.S. Taxpayer be subject to the additional tax penalty under Section 409A(1)(b)(i)(II) of the Code shall be null and void ab initio with respect to the U.S. Taxpayer unless the consent of the U.S. Taxpayer is obtained.

13.2 Shareholder Approval

Notwithstanding Section 13.1 and subject to any rules of the Exchange, approval of the holders of the Shares shall be required for any amendment, modification or change that:

  • (a) increases the percentage of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, except pursuant to the provisions in the Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Corporation or its capital;

  • (b) increases or removes the limit on the number of Shares issuable or issued to Insiders as set forth in Section 3.7(d) and Section 3.7(e);

  • (c) reduces the exercise price of an Award (for this purpose, a cancellation or termination of an Award of a Participant prior to its Expiry Date for the purpose of reissuing an Award to the same Participant with a lower exercise price shall be treated as an amendment to reduce the exercise price of an Award) except pursuant to the provisions in the Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Corporation or its capital;

  • (d) extends the term of an Award beyond the original Expiry Date (except where an Expiry Date would have fallen within a blackout period applicable to the Participant);

  • (e) permits an Award to be exercisable beyond 10 years from its Award Date (except where an Expiry Date would have fallen within a blackout period of the Corporation);

  • (f) increases or removes the limits on the participation of Directors or Officers;

  • (g) changes the eligible participants of the Plan; or

A-27

  • (h) deletes or reduces the range of amendments which require approval of shareholders under this Section 13.2.

13.3 Disinterested Shareholder Approval

Disinterested shareholder approval will be obtained:

  • (a) for any reduction in the Exercise Price or extension of the term of an Option if the Participant is an Insider of the Corporation at the time of the proposed amendment; and

  • (b) for any changes to the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all Awards granted under the Plan, together with any other Security Based Compensation Arrangement, as set out in Section 3.63.6(a).

Disinterested shareholder approval will also be required as specified in the Plan.

13.4 Permitted Amendments

Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1, but subject to Section 13.2, the Plan Administrator may, without shareholder approval, at any time or from time to time, amend the Plan for the purposes of:

  • (a) making any amendments to the general vesting provisions of each Award;

  • (b) making any amendments to the provisions set out in Article 10;

  • (c) making any amendments to add covenants of the Corporation for the protection of Participants, as the case may be, provided that the Plan Administrator shall be of the good faith opinion that such additions will not be prejudicial to the rights or interests of the Participants, as the case may be;

  • (d) making any amendments not inconsistent with the Plan as may be necessary or desirable with respect to matters or questions which, in the good faith opinion of the Plan Administrator, having in mind the best interests of the Participants, it may be expedient to make, including amendments that are desirable as a result of changes in law in any jurisdiction where a Participant resides, provided that the Plan Administrator shall be of the opinion that such amendments and modifications will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Participants; or

  • (e) making such changes or corrections which, on the advice of counsel to the Corporation, are required for the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error, provided that the Plan Administrator shall be of the opinion that such changes or corrections will not be prejudicial to the rights and interests of the Participants.

ARTICLE 14 MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Legal Requirement

The Corporation is not obligated to grant any Awards, issue any Shares or other securities, make any payments or take any other action if, in the opinion of the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, such action

A-28

would constitute a violation by a Participant or the Corporation of any provision of any applicable statutory or regulatory enactment of any government or government agency or the requirements of any Exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed.

14.2 No Other Benefit

No amount will be paid to, or in respect of, a Participant under the Plan to compensate for a downward fluctuation in the price of a Share, nor will any other form of benefit be conferred upon, or in respect of, a Participant for such purpose.

14.3 Rights of Participant

No Participant has any claim or right to be granted an Award and the granting of any Award is not to be construed as giving a Participant a right to remain as an Employee, Consultant, Director or Officer. No Participant has any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of Shares issuable pursuant to any Award until the allotment and issuance to such Participant, or as such Participant may direct, of certificates representing such Shares.

14.4 Corporate Action

Nothing contained in this Plan or in an Award shall be construed so as to prevent the Corporation from taking corporate action which is deemed by the Corporation to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on this Plan or any Award.

14.5 Conflict

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Plan and an Award Agreement, the provisions of the Award Agreement shall govern. In the event of any conflict between or among the provisions of this Plan or any Award Agreement, on the one hand, and a Participant’s employment agreement or consulting agreement with the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, as the case may be, on the other hand, the provisions of the employment agreement, consulting agreement or other written agreement shall prevail.

14.6 Anti-Hedging Policy

By accepting the Option or Award, each Participant acknowledges that he or she is restricted from purchasing financial instruments such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of Options or Awards.

14.7 Participant Information

Each Participant shall provide the Corporation with all information (including personal information) required by the Corporation in order to administer the Plan. Each Participant acknowledges that information required by the Corporation in order to administer the Plan may be disclosed to any custodian appointed in respect of the Plan and other third parties, and may be disclosed to such persons (including persons located in jurisdictions other than the Participant’s jurisdiction of residence), in connection with the administration of the Plan. Each Participant consents to such disclosure and authorizes the Corporation to make such disclosure on the Participant’s behalf.

14.8 Participation in the Plan

The participation of any Participant in the Plan is entirely voluntary and not obligatory and shall not be

A-29

interpreted as conferring upon such Participant any rights or privileges other than those rights and privileges expressly provided in the Plan. In particular, participation in the Plan does not constitute a condition of employment or engagement nor a commitment on the part of the Corporation to ensure the continued employment or engagement of such Participant. The Plan does not provide any guarantee against any loss which may result from fluctuations in the market value of the Shares. The Corporation does not assume responsibility for the income or other tax consequences for the Participants and they are advised to consult with their own tax advisors.

14.9 International Participants

With respect to Participants who reside or work outside Canada, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, amend, or otherwise modify, without shareholder approval, the terms of the Plan or Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the provisions of local law, and the Plan Administrator may, where appropriate, establish one or more sub-plans to reflect such amended or otherwise modified provisions.

14.10 Successors and Assigns

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

14.11 General Restrictions on Assignment

Except as required by law, the rights of a Participant under the Plan are not capable of being assigned, transferred, alienated, sold, encumbered, pledged, mortgaged or charged and are not capable of being subject to attachment or legal process for the payment of any debts or obligations of the Participant unless otherwise approved by the Plan Administrator.

14.12 Severability

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision and any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be severed from the Plan.

14.13 Notices

BeWhere Holdings Inc. 2475 Skymark Av. Unit 4 Mississauga, Ontario, L4W 4Y6

Attention: Chief Financial Officer

A-30

14.14 Effective Date

This Plan becomes effective on a date to be determined by the Plan Administrator, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation.

14.15 Governing Law
