The Plan does not give any Option Holder that is a director or officer the right to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, nor does it give any Option Holder that is an employee or consultant the right to be or to continue to be employed or engaged by the Corporation or any Subsidiary.
3.9 | Participation Voluntary; No Obligation to Exercise |
Participation in this Plan shall be voluntary on the part of any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation or any Subsidiary. Option Holders shall be under no obligation to exercise Options granted under the Plan.
The Corporation and every Option Holder granted an Option hereunder shall be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. By accepting an Option granted hereunder, the Option Holder has expressly agreed with the Corporation to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event that the Option Holder receives his, her or its Options pursuant to an oral or written agreement with the Corporation or a Subsidiary, whether such agreement is an employment agreement, consulting agreement or any other kind of agreement of any kind whatsoever, the Option Holder acknowledges that in the event of any inconsistency between the terms relating to the grant of such Options in that agreement and the terms attaching to the Options as provided for in the Plan, the terms provided for in the Plan shall prevail and the other agreement shall be deemed to have been amended accordingly.
Any notice, delivery or other correspondence of any kind whatsoever to be provided by the Corporation to an Option Holder will be deemed to have been provided if provided to the last home address, fax number or email address of the Option Holder in the records of the Corporation and the Corporation shall be under no obligation to confirm receipt or delivery.
Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Corporation from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for the benefit of any Person, subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approval.
3.13 | Other Employee Benefits |
The amount of any compensation deemed to be received by an Option Holder as a result of the exercise of any Option will not constitute compensation with respect to which any other employee benefits of that Option Holder are determined, including, without limitation, benefits under any bonus, pension, profit-sharing, insurance or salary continuation plan, except as otherwise specifically determined by the Board.
