Compensation To Management, Directors And Consultants

ExGen's board of directors has also approved cash compensation payments to management, a director, and consultants as outlined below (collectively, the "Compensation Payments"). These payments will be made from ExGen's current existing treasury, prior to closing this financing round, and the use of proceeds of the Private Placement will not be used for any such Compensation Payments. The Compensation Payments are as follows:

The CEO of ExGen will be reinvesting all of his Compensation Payments note above, plus an additional $350,000 of his own capital into this current Private Placement. The total investment from the CEO in the Private Placement will be $875,000. Assuming the Private Placement is completed, and the CEO participates in the Private Placement, as set forth above, the CEO will own, directly or indirectly, 11,530,000 Common Shares of ExGen (18.64% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of ExGen on the completion of the Private Placement). The Director who received $50,000 of the Compensation Payments will be reinvesting such amount into the Private Placement, plus an additional $222,500 of his own capital, for a total of $272,500. Assuming the Private Placement is completed, and the Director participates in the Private Placement, as set forth above, the Director will own, directly or indirectly, 3,184,679 Common Shares of ExGen (5.15% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of ExGen on the completion of the Private Placement). Neither ExGen, nor, to the knowledge of ExGen, the CEO or the Director, have knowledge of any material information concerning ExGen or its securities that has not been generally disclosed. ExGen is pleased with such a strong show of support from the board and management in this Private Placement.

Additional Disclosure Regard MI 61-101 and TSXV Policy 5.9.

The participation of the CEO and the Director in the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ? Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and TSXV Policy 5.9. ExGen is relying upon exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(b) [Issuer Not Listed on Specified Markets] and 5.7(1)(b)[ Fair Market Value Not More Than $2,500,000], respectively, of MI 61-101 on the basis that ExGen is not listed on a specified stock exchange and, at the time the Private Placement was agreed to, neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed pursuant to the Private Placement to the CEO or the Director, nor the consideration to be received for those securities, will exceed $2,500,000. No special committee was ?established in ?connection with the Private Placement?. The Board ?of Directors of ExGen has unanimously approved the Private Placement and no materially ?contrary view or ?abstention ?was expressed or made by any director ?in relation to the ?Private Placement ?(other than the abstention of the CEO and Director as required pursuant to the ?Business Corporations Act ???(British Columbia))?.? The material change report to be filed in relation to the ?closing of the Private Placement may not be not filed at ?least 21 days prior to the completion of the ?Private Placement as ?contemplated by MI ??61-101. ExGen believes that this shorter ?period is reasonable and ?necessary in the ?circumstances as the completion of the Private Placement may occur shortly before the ?issuance of such material change report in relation to the Private Placement.?
