PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF LML PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC.
August 8, 2007

LML Payment Systems Inc.
Suite 1680 - 1140 West Pender Street
Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4G1

The accompanying Form of Proxy is solicited on behalf of the board of directors of LML Payment Systems Inc. to be used at our annual and special meeting to be held at The Renaissance Vancouver Hotel, 1133 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, on August 8, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. local time.  This proxy statement, accompanying Form of Proxy, Notice of Meeting and Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 are first being mailed to shareholders on or about July 6, 2007.

We will bear the expense of this solicitation.  Certain of our directors, officers and employees may solicit the return of proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile or other similar means without additional compensation.  Requests will also be made of brokerage houses and custodians, nominees or fiduciaries to forward proxy material at our expense to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons.  Our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”), has agreed to assist us in the tabulation of proxies and the counting of votes at our annual and special meeting.

All of a shareholder's common shares registered in the same name will be represented by one proxy.

WHO CAN VOTE

Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 26, 2007 are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at our annual and special meeting.  As of June 8, 2007, there were 20,207,094 common shares in the capital of our corporation issued and outstanding owned by approximately 378 shareholders of record.  We have no other voting securities outstanding.  Each shareholder of record on June 26, 2007 is entitled to one vote for each common share held.

HOW YOU CAN VOTE

Common shares cannot be voted at our annual and special meeting unless the holder of record is present in person or represented by proxy.  A shareholder has the right to attend our annual and special meeting at the time and place set forth in the Notice of Annual and Special Meeting and to vote their shares directly at the meeting.  In the alternative, a shareholder may appoint a person to represent such shareholder at our annual and special meeting by completing the enclosed Form of Proxy, which authorizes a person other than the holder of record to vote on behalf of the shareholder, and returning it to our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., 6th Floor, 530 - 8th Avenue, S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 3S8 (facsimile (403) 267-6529) in the enclosed envelope.  All shareholders are urged to mark, sign, date and promptly return the enclosed Form of Proxy by mail in the enclosed envelope, or by telephone or electronically via the Internet, after reviewing the information contained in this proxy statement. Valid proxies will be voted at our annual and special meeting and at any postponements or adjournments thereof as you direct in the proxy, provided that such proxies are received by Computershare at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled time of the annual and special meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or deposited with the Chair of the annual and special meeting on the day of the annual and special meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting.

The common shares represented by the proxy will be voted, or withheld from voting, as directed in the proxy.  If no direction is given and the proxy is validly executed, the proxy will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for our board of directors set forth in this proxy statement; FOR the appointment of our independent auditors, Grant Thornton LLP.; FOR increasing the number of common share purchase options granted or to be granted under our 1996 Stock Option Plan by 3,000,000 common shares; FOR increasing the number of common share purchase options granted or to be granted under our 1998 Stock Incentive  Plan by 3,000,000 common shares, and FOR amending Section 8.05 of our Bylaws, to clarify the requirements with respect to the registration of transfers of the Corporation’s shares for which a certificate has not been issued.   If any other matters properly come before our annual and special meeting, the persons authorized under the proxies will vote upon such other matters in accordance with their best judgment, pursuant to the discretionary authority conferred by the proxy.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES

THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION IS OF SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANCE TO MANY SHAREHOLDERS OF OUR CORPORATION AS A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHAREHOLDERS DO NOT HOLD SHARES IN THEIR OWN NAME.

Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to in this proxy statement as “beneficial shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of our corporation as the registered holders of common shares can be recognized and acted upon at our annual and special meeting.  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 our corporation.  Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker.  In the United States, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depositary Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, 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).  Beneficial shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their common shares are communicated to the appropriate person.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from beneficial shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings.  Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by beneficial shareholders in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at our annual and special meeting.  The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge U.S.”) (formerly known as ADP Investor Communication Services) in the United States and Broadridge Investor Communications Solutions, Canada (“Broadridge Canada”) (formerly known as ADP Investor Communications Canada) in Canada.  Broadridge U.S. and Broadridge Canada typically apply a special sticker to proxy forms, mail those forms to the beneficial shareholders and ask beneficial shareholders to return the proxy forms to Broadridge U.S. for the United States and Broadridge Canada for Canada.  Broadridge U.S. and Broadridge Canada then tabulate the results of all instructions received and provide appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at our annual and special meeting.  A beneficial shareholder receiving a Broadridge U.S. proxy or a Broadridge Canada proxy cannot use that proxy to vote common shares directly at our annual and special meeting - the proxy must be returned to Broadridge U.S. or Broadridge Canada, as the case may be, well in advance of our annual and special meeting in order to have the common shares voted.

Although a beneficial shareholder may not be recognized directly at our annual and special meeting for the purposes of voting common shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a beneficial shareholder may attend our annual and special meeting as proxyholder for the registered shareholder and vote the common shares in that capacity.  Beneficial shareholders who wish to attend our annual and special meeting and indirectly vote their common shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of our annual and special meeting.

Alternatively, a beneficial shareholder may request in writing that his or her broker send to the beneficial shareholder a legal proxy which would enable the beneficial shareholder to attend our annual and special meeting and vote his or her common shares.

QUORUM

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to take action at our annual and special meeting.  A minimum of one person present in person or represented by proxy and holding at least 33 1/3 percent of the outstanding common shares as at June 26, 2007 will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at our annual and special meeting.  However, if a quorum is not present, the shareholders present at our annual and special meeting have the power to adjourn the meeting until a quorum is present.  At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented by proxy, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting.  Broker non-votes occur when a nominee holding common shares for a beneficial owner of those common shares has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner with respect to a particular matter and such nominee does not possess or choose to exercise discretionary authority with respect thereto.  Broker non-votes and abstentions will be included in the determination of the number of common shares present at our annual and special meeting for quorum purposes but will not be counted as votes cast on any matter presented at our annual and special meeting.

-2-


YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. ACCORDINGLY, YOU ARE ASKED TO MARK, DATE, SIGN AND RETURN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO ATTEND OUR ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING.  IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND OUR ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING TO VOTE IN PERSON AND YOUR SHARES ARE REGISTERED WITH OUR TRANSFER AGENT (COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR SERVICES INC.) IN THE NAME OF A BROKER OR BANK, YOU MUST SECURE A PROXY FROM THE BROKER OR BANK ASSIGNING VOTING RIGHTS TO YOU FOR YOUR COMMON SHARES.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the start of our annual and special meeting in three ways:

1.  
by delivering a written notice of revocation to the Secretary of our corporation;

2.  
by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date; or

3.  
by attending our annual and special meeting and expressing the desire to vote your common shares in person (attendance at our annual and special meeting will not in and of itself revoke a proxy).

CURRENCY

Except where otherwise indicated, all dollar ($) amounts referred to in this proxy statement are expressed in U.S. dollars.

PROPOSAL ONE - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the number of directors shall be determined by resolution of our board of directors and set out in the notice calling the annual and special meeting of shareholders provided that the number of directors may be not less than three (3) or more than fifteen (15).  The number of our directors has been set at four (4). All of our current directors are standing for re-election at our annual and special meeting.  Each director who is elected will serve until an annual meeting is held for the fiscal period ending March 31, 2008, until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, or until the director's earlier death, resignation or removal. Each nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.  We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve if elected, but if any of them should become unable to serve as a director, and if our board of directors designates a substitute nominee, the persons named in the accompanying Form of Proxy will vote for the substitute nominee designated by our board of directors, unless a contrary instruction is given in the Form of Proxy.

Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast in person or by proxy at our annual and special meeting.  Votes may be cast in favour or withheld.  Votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and will have no effect.  Votes that are withheld for a particular nominee will be excluded from the vote for that nominee only.

-4-


Audit Committee

We have a separately designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 173 of the Business Corporations Act (Yukon).

           During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the members of the audit committee included Greg A. MacRae (Chair), L. William Seidman and Jacqueline Pace. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the audit committee met five (5) times. The meetings were attended by all of the members of the committee either in person or by teleconference.

           The function of the audit committee is set out in its written charter, and includes reviewing and approving the scope of audit procedures employed by our independent auditors, approving in advance all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by the independent auditors and the scope and cost of their annual audit, reviewing the independent auditors' opinions on the adequacy of internal controls and quality of financial reporting, and reviewing our accounting and reporting principles, policies and practices, as well as its accounting, financial and operating controls. The audit committee also reports to our board of directors with respect to such matters and approves the selection of independent auditors.

           The board of directors has determined that each member of the audit committee is financially literate, that the audit committee has at least one member who is an "audit committee financial expert", as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that L. William Seidman is an "audit committee financial expert".

           The board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

Compensation Committee

We have a separately designated standing compensation committee.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the members of the compensation committee included Jacqueline Pace (Chair), Greg A. MacRae, and L. William Seidman.  Our compensation committee met three (3) times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and all members attended such meeting.

           The compensation committee's duties are set out in its written charter and include developing policies that are designed to offer competitive compensation opportunities for our executive officers that are based on personal performance, individual initiative and achievement, as well as assisting in attracting and retaining qualified executives. The compensation committee also endorses the position that stock ownership by management and stock-based compensation arrangements are beneficial in aligning management's and shareholders' interests in the enhancement of shareholder value.

           The Board has determined that all of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market.


Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

We have a separately designated standing nominating and corporate governance committee.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the members of LML’s nominating and corporate governance committee included L. William Seidman (Chair), Greg A. MacRae and Jacqueline Pace. The nominating and corporate governance committee met one (1) time during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and all of the members of the committee attended the meeting in person or by teleconference.  Our nominating and corporate governance committee's duties are set out in its written charter which sets forth its primary responsibilities of developing criteria for evaluating and selecting new directors to serve on our board of directors, recommending nominees for election as directors to our board of directors, the evaluation of the qualifications and independence of directors and members of the various committees of our board of directors and the development and recommendation to our board of directors of corporate governance principles applicable to our corporation.

-5-



The nominating and corporate governance committee will seek highly qualified, independent candidates who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for integrity.  Candidates should have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility and be leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated.  The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider candidates recommended by our directors, members of management and shareholders.

The committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if such proposed nominations are submitted to our corporation in writing by shareholders no later than 120 days before the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement sent to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting.  The nominating and corporate governance committee believes this deadline is reasonable and in the best interests of the corporation and our shareholders because it ensures that the committee has sufficient time to properly evaluate all proposed candidates.  Shareholder recommendations may be submitted to the Secretary of the corporation at 1140 West Pender Street, Suite 1680, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4G1, and they will be forwarded to the nominating and corporate governance committee members for their consideration. Any such recommendation should include the following information:

 
a)
the number of shares of our corporation held by the shareholder making the recommendation;

 
b)
the name and address of the candidate;

 
c)
a brief biographical description of the candidate, including his or her occupation for at least the last five years, and a statement of the candidate’s qualifications, taking into account the qualification requirements set forth above;

 
d)
information regarding the recommended candidate relevant to a determination of whether the recommended candidate would be considered independent within the meaning of the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market; and

 
e)
the candidate's signed consent to serve as a director if elected and to be named in the proxy statement.

Once we receive the recommendation, we may request additional information from the candidate about the candidate's independence, qualifications and other information that would assist the nominating and corporate governance committee in evaluating the candidate, as well as certain information that must be disclosed about the candidate in our corporation’s proxy statement, if nominated. Candidates must complete and return the questionnaire within the timeframe provided to be considered for nomination by the committee.   Candidates recommended by shareholders that comply with these procedures will receive the same consideration that candidates recommended by the nominating and corporate governance committee and management receive.

           The board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

Stock Option Plan Administration Committee

We have a separately designated standing stock option plan administration committee. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the members of our stock option plan administration committee included Patrick H. Gaines (Chair), Jacqueline Pace and Greg A. McRae.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, our stock option plan administration committee met one (1) time and acted five (5) times by written consent.  The function of the stock option plan administration committee is to oversee both our 1996 Stock Option Plan and our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.  The committee has sole discretion as to the interpretation and construction of any provision of the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, and the determination of the terms and conditions with respect to any grant made pursuant to both the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.

The amounts reported in the “Option Awards” column reflect the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the 2007 fiscal year for the fair value of shares of restricted stock granted in fiscal 2007 as well as those granted in prior fiscal years.  These values have been calculated in accordance with SFAS 123R using the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. For additional information relating to the assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts please refer to Note 3 in our financial statements for the second quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2006.  The amounts in this column reflect our accounting expense for these awards, and may not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the independent directors.  On August 30, 2006, each of the independent directors was granted 25,000 stock options at an exercise price of $3.62 per share. On August 24, 2005, each of the independent directors was granted 25,000 stock options at an exercise price of $4.52 per share.  Options granted to our independent directors vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

(2)
This amount consists of (i) $23,300 related to 25,000 options granted in August 2005 and (ii) $26,740 related to 25,000 options granted in August 2006.


We pay an annual director's fee to each of our independent directors as follows: cash compensation in the amount of $12,000 and a grant of 25,000 stock options for services rendered as a director in the fiscal year.  The annual director's fee is paid pursuant to a compensation plan that we adopted for our independent directors during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The stock options awarded under the plan vest on the first anniversary date of their issuance. The $12,000 cash component is payable annually on the date of our annual meeting and the options are to be awarded on the same date.   We do not compensate employee directors for their service as directors.

           During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, our Board, upon recommendation by our Compensation Committee, determined that the Chairman of our Audit Committee should receive an annual retainer for this position in the amount of U.S. $2,500 in recognition of the increased responsibilities of this role specifically as related to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

           Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at board or committee meetings. The board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on behalf our corporation other than services ordinarily required of a director. Other than as indicated in this Proxy Statement, no director received and/or accrued any compensation for his or her services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

We have a 1996 Stock Option Plan and a 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, our “Stock Option Plans”).  Our 1996 Stock Option Plan currently permits the granting of up to 3,000,000 options (which may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options) to purchase our common stock.  Our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan currently permits the granting of up to 3,000,000 awards (including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other stock-based awards) to purchase or acquire our common stock.  Our Stock Option Plans are currently administered by our stock option plan administration committee, which has the sole discretion to determine the terms and conditions of options or other awards granted pursuant to our Stock Option Plans and to interpret and administer the Stock Option Plans.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation for our executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table, whom we refer to in this Proxy Statement as our “Named Executive Officers.”  The Compensation Committee of the Board is governed by its charter adopted by our board of directors on June 8, 2004 and makes all decisions for the total direct compensation—that is, the base salary and stock option awards—of all of our executive officers (including Named Executive Officers) who are employed by LML, including Patrick H. Gaines, our Chief Executive Officer (and a Named Executive Officer), Richard R. Schulz, our Controller and Chief Accounting Officer (and a Named Executive Officer), and Carolyn L. Gaines, our Corporate Secretary.  Patrick H. Gaines, our Chief Executive Officer, makes all of the decisions regarding the total direct compensation of all of the executive officers of our subsidiaries, including Robert E. Peyton, Executive Vice-President of our subsidiary LML Payment Systems Corp., who is also a Named Executive Officer identified in the Summary Compensation Table.

The day-to-day design and administration of the compensation policies applicable to our employees in general are handled by our Human Resources and Accounting departments.  The Stock Option Plan Administration Committee of the Board, in consultation with our Compensation Committee and our Human Resources and Accounting Departments, is responsible for the determination of option awards to the employees (including Named Executive Officers) of LML and its subsidiaries.

Compensation Philosophy

We believe that our success depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain qualified executive officers.  As part of our efforts to satisfy the need to attract, retain and motivate the individuals who possess the skills necessary to grow our business, our management and our Compensation Committee believe that our compensation programs should reflect our compensation philosophy. This philosophy includes the following core beliefs:

·  
our executive officers should be rewarded fairly and competitively through a mix of short-term compensation (i.e., base salary) and long-term compensation (i.e., stock option grants);

·  
our compensation programs should be flexible in order to meet the needs of our business and should be reviewed periodically, as appropriate, by our Compensation Committee;

·  
stock ownership by our executive officers demonstrates an economic stake in our business that aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders; and

·  
our executive officers should share appropriately with investors in the value that their results help to create.

While a key component of our compensation philosophy is to pay our executive officers (including our Named Executive Officers) an annual cash salary that is competitive among our peer group, we believe that short-term financial rewards alone are not sufficient to attract and retain our executive officers (including our Named Executive Officers) and that a properly designed long-term compensation program is a necessary component of recruitment and retention of these individuals.  We currently have two long-term incentive plans (our 1996 Stock Option Plan and our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan) that give our Compensation Committee, together with our Stock Option Plan Administration Committee, the ability to provide appropriate long-term incentives to our executive officers (including our Named Executive Officers).

Historically we have not given (and do not currently intend to give) bonuses as part of our compensation of our executive officers.

Role of Executive Officers in Determining Compensation

As stated above, the Compensation Committee makes all final decisions for the total direct compensation of all of our executive officers (including Named Executive Officers) who are employed by LML, and Patrick H. Gaines, our CEO, makes all final decisions for the total direct compensation of all executive officers (including Named Executive Officers) who are employed by our subsidiaries.

With respect to the compensation of our executive officers (including Named Executive Officers) who are employed by us, Mr. Gaines recommends to the Compensation Committee the annual base salary and any adjustment from the prior year’s base salary for each executive officer, other than himself.  The Compensation Committee can exercise its discretion to modify any recommendations provided by Mr. Gaines.  The Compensation Committee determines Mr. Gaines’ salary.  In addition Mr. Gaines makes all of the decisions with respect to the compensation of our executive officers (including Mr. Peyton, a Named Executive Officer) who are employed by our subsidiaries.

Mr. Gaines and the Compensation Committee, in making the compensation recommendations and decisions described above, rely on information and analyses provided to them by our Human Resources and Accounting Departments, including information and analyses regarding (i) the performance, productivity and, where applicable, achievement of individual and/or corporate goals and objectives by the respective executive officers and (ii) the compensation paid to executive officers with comparable titles and responsibilities who are employed by companies within our peer group (including Efunds Corp, PMT Services Inc. and Electronic Clearing House Inc.).

Components of Executive Compensation

As discussed above, compensation paid to our executive officers (including our Named Executive Officers) is generally comprised of two components: (i) base salary and (ii) long-term compensation in the form of stock options.  Decisions regarding base salary and stock option awards for our Named Executive Officers are based on the objectives of our compensation philosophy described above and, in particular, are designed to motivate these executives to achieve our business goals and reward the executives for achieving these goals.

-11-



Specific compensation levels for our executive officers (including our Named Executive Officers) are determined by consideration of a number of factors, including each officer's initiative and contribution to our overall corporate performance and the officer's managerial abilities and performance in any special projects that the officer may have undertaken. Subjective considerations of individual performance are considered in establishing both base and incentive compensation.  Our Compensation Committee also considers our financial position and cash flow in making compensation decisions.  In addition, the Compensation Committee also considers the overall compensation paid to executive officers of companies within LML’s peer group who have comparable titles and responsibilities, after making allowances for the different scales of operations of those other companies as compared to our corporation.  The peer group that has traditionally been considered by the Compensation Committee consists principally of companies operating in the financial services/transaction processing industry, including Efunds Corp, PMT Services Inc. and Electronic Clearing House Inc.

Base Salary
 
We provide our executive officers (including our Named Executive Officers) with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the year.  Ensuring that each executive officer is paid a competitive base salary that reflects the individual's level of responsibility is an important consideration in setting executive compensation.  These base salaries are based on experience, skills, job responsibilities and individual contribution, with consideration given to the compensation paid to executive officers of companies within LML’s peer group who have comparable titles and responsibilities.   Salary levels are typically considered annually as part of our performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. The members of the Compensation Committee, relying on their significant current and past business experience, make reasoned subjective determinations as to merit based increases to salaries for our executive officers (including our Named Executive Officers) based on a number of factors, including (i) an assessment of each individual’s performance during the prior year and (ii) the base salaries paid to comparable executives within LML’s peer group.  Mr. Gaines’ employs the same principles and philosophies in determining base salaries for the executive officers of our subsidiaries, including Mr. Peyton, a Named Executive Officer.

Stock Option Awards

Stock option awards are an integral component of the compensation package for our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers.  Our Compensation Committee recommends the grant of stock option awards for our executive officers (including our Named Executive Officers) who are employed by LML to our Stock Option Plan Administration Committee for their consideration and, if seen fit, approval, and Mr. Gaines recommends the grant of stock option awards for our executive officers (including our Named Executive Officers) who are employed by LML’s subsidiaries to our Stock Option Plan Administration Committee for their consideration and, if seen fit, approval.  Specifically, for our Named Executive Officers, stock option awards are determined by the Compensation Committee and awarded by the Stock Option Plan Administration Committee in the case of Mr. Gaines and Mr. Schulz; and are recommended by Mr. Gaines and awarded by and in consultation with the Stock Option Plan Administration Committee in the case of Mr. Peyton.  In making their determinations and recommendations as to stock option awards, the Compensation Committee and Mr. Gaines take into account (i) the current base salary (and any proposed increases) for the executive officers (including the Named Executive Officers), and (ii) the level of stock options and other long-term compensation awarded to executives with comparable titles and job responsibilities within LML’s peer group, as well as the total compensation being paid to those executives relative to the total compensation received by LML’s executives.

Setting Fiscal 2007 Compensation for our Named Executive Officers

Our Compensation Committee met three (3) times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 to, among other things, discuss and set compensation levels for our executive officers (including Named Executive Officers) employed by LML.

The fiscal 2007 compensation levels for our Named Executive Officers set by our Compensation Committee (in the case of Mr. Gaines and Mr. Schulz) and by Mr. Gaines (in the case of Mr. Peyton) were dependent in large part on the prior years’ compensation levels of those officers, which is discussed in more detail below.


-12-



Historical Compensation Levels of Named Executive Officers

During the year ended March 31, 2001, the Compensation Committee established Mr. Gaines’ base annual salary at $150,000.  In formulating compensation levels for Mr. Gaines (and our other executive officers) for the 2001 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee took into consideration the compensation paid to comparable executives within LML’s peer group in the financial services/transaction processing industry (including Concord EFS, Efunds Corp, PMT Services Inc. and Electronic Clearing House Inc.), after making allowances for the different scales of operations of these other companies as compared to our corporation.  The Compensation Committee did not retain an independent compensation consultant, nor did the compensation committee rely upon any formal study or review of comparable companies in our corporation's industry in formulating compensation levels and policies for the 2001 fiscal year (or for any fiscal year since).

During the year ended March 31, 2002, Mr. Gaines voluntarily agreed to a 20% reduction in his base annual salary to $120,000.  This reduction, which took effect at the midpoint of the fiscal year, resulted in Mr. Gaines’ actual salary for the year ended March 31, 2002 being $135,000.  During the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, his base annual salary was $120,000.  On March 30, 2004, the Compensation Committee determined that, for administrative reasons, Mr. Gaines’ salary be changed from United States dollars to Canadian dollars.  This resulted in Mr. Gaines’ annual compensation of $120,000 U.S. becoming $168,000 Canadian for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006.

The base salary for Mr. Schulz was established by management on August 1, 2001 upon commencement of his employment with our corporation in the position of Assistant Controller.  In setting Mr. Schulz’s initial compensation level, our management took into consideration the compensation paid to comparable executives within LML’s peer group.

The base salary for Mr. Peyton, who is employed by a subsidiary of LML, was established by management in July 2000 in connection with the acquisition of the subsidiary by LML and was principally the result of negotiations between Mr. Peyton and LML as part of the acquisition..  Mr. Peyton was party to an employment agreement with the subsidiary (LML Payment Systems Corp.) from July 9, 2000 until July 9, 2006, when the agreement expired in accordance with its terms (although he remains employed with the same title, position and responsibilities as he had under the employment agreement).  Mr. Peyton received an annual salary of $150,000 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.  During the year ended March 31, 2004, Mr. Peyton voluntarily agreed to a 20% reduction in his base annual salary to $120,000.  This reduction, which took effect at the midpoint of the fiscal year, resulted in Mr. Peyton's actual base annual salary for the year ended March 31, 2004 being $135,000.  Mr. Peyton received an annual salary of $120,000 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006.

Fiscal 2007 Compensation Levels of Named Executive Officers

In August 2006, the Compensation Committee reviewed Mr. Gaines’ base salary and his compensation history.  In reviewing Mr. Gaines’ compensation history, the Compensation Committee noted that Mr. Gaines’ base salary, since it was first established at US$150,000 by the Compensation Committee in fiscal 2001, had never been increased.  The Compensation Committee also noted that Mr. Gaines had voluntarily agreed to a reduction in salary of 20% in fiscal 2002.  In light of these and other factors (including the compensation levels of comparable executives within LML’s peer group), on August 30, 2006, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Gaines’ annual base salary from CDN$168,000 to CDN$181,000.

           In August 2006, the Compensation Committee reviewed Mr. Schulz’s base salary.  The Compensation Committee noted in particular that the completion of any of the potential mergers or business combination transactions that LML was evaluating at that time would likely result in significantly increased future responsibilities for Mr. Schulz.  In light of Mr. Schulz’s past performance and the anticipated future increase in his job responsibilities, on August 30, 2006, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Schulz’s annual base salary from CDN$87,000 to CDN$101,000.

           In addition to these increases in base salary for Messrs. Gaines and Schulz, on August 30, 2006, the Compensation Committee also recommended the grant of 50,000 stock options to Mr. Gaines and 25,000 stock options to Mr. Schulz, which were granted to them by the Stock Option Plan Administration Committee on August 30, 2006.  All of these stock options, which were fully vested on the date of grant, have an exercise price of $3.62 per share and expire on August 30, 2011.

-13-



In May 2006, Mr. Gaines reviewed Mr. Peyton’s base salary and his compensation history.  In reviewing Mr. Peyton’s compensation history, Mr. Gaines noted that Mr. Peyton voluntarily agreed to a reduction in salary of 20% in fiscal 2004 and had not received any base compensation increases since such time.  In light of these and other factors, (including the compensation levels of comparable executives within LML’s peer group), Mr. Gaines increased Mr. Peyton’s annual base salary to $180,000 per year effective May 1, 2006. In addition, Mr. Gaines recommended the grant of 50,000 stock options to Mr. Peyton, which were granted to Mr. Peyton by the Stock Option Plan Administration Committee on October 5, 2006.  These stock options have an exercise price of $2.95 per share and expire on October 5, 2011.

PROPOSAL TWO - APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
Grant Thornton LLP of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has been selected by our board of directors and audit committee to serve as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.  Grant Thornton LLP was appointed by our audit committee to serve as our independent auditors effective July 12, 2004.  It is proposed that the remuneration to be paid to the independent auditors be fixed by our audit committee.
 
During the two most recent fiscal years there were no disagreements between us and Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreement or disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the independent auditors, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement or disagreements in connection with its report on the financial statements for such years.
 
All services provided by Grant Thornton LLP in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 have been reviewed with our audit committee to confirm that the performance of such services is consistent with the regulatory requirements for auditor independence.
 
A representative of Grant Thornton LLP is not expected to be present at our annual and special meeting, nor is a representative of Grant Thornton LLP expected to make a statement.  In the event that a representative of Grant Thornton LLP is present at our annual and special meeting, such representative or representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if such representative or representatives so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions by shareholders. The affirmative vote of a majority of the common shares represented in person or by proxy at our annual and special meeting is required to approve this proposal.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPOINTMENT OF GRANT THORNTON LLP AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2008.

TAX FEES

During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we did not engage Grant Thornton LLP to provide us with any services related to tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning.

ALL OTHER FEES

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the aggregate fees billed for services by Grant Thornton LLP that did not constitute audit fees, audit-related fees or tax fees were CDN$26,400.  These fees related primarily to consultation with respect to the accounting and disclosure treatment of the Corporation’s patent litigation, settlement and licensing activities.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, we did not engage Grant Thornton LLP to provide us with any services that did not constitute audit fees, audit-related fees or tax fees. 

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

Our audit committee has adopted a policy governing the pre-approval by the audit committee of all services, audit and non-audit, to be provided to the corporation by its independent auditors.  Under the policy, the audit committee has pre-approved the provision by the corporation’s independent auditors of specific audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services as being consistent with auditor independence.  Requests or applications to provide services that require the specific pre-approval of the audit committee must be submitted to the audit committee by the independent auditors, and the independent auditors must advise the audit committee as to whether, in the independent auditor’s view, the request or application is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence.  The audit committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members, and has currently delegated such authority to the chairman of the audit committee.  All audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 were pre-approved in accordance with this policy.

PROPOSAL THREE – AMENDMENT OF 1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN

Proposed Amendment to the 1996 Stock Option Plan

Our 1996 Stock Option Plan, which was first adopted by our Board of Directors and shareholders in 1996, provides for the grant of stock options to acquire our common stock to eligible participants.  The purpose of our 1996 Stock Option Plan is to advance the interests of our corporation by encouraging our directors, management and employees to increase their proprietary interest in our corporation and to remain associated with our corporation, as well as to furnish participants with an additional incentive in their efforts on our corporation's behalf.  The Board of Directors believes that the grant of stock options is a highly effective way to align the interests of management with those of our shareholders and provides a cost-effective means of recognizing employee contributions to the success of the Corporation.

At our annual meeting on September 18, 2000, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 1996 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of options to purchase common shares in our capital from 2,500,000 common shares to 3,000,000 common shares.  As of June 15, 2007, a total of 2,824,000 stock options have been granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan, of which 1,216,000 remain outstanding as of that date.  As of June 15, 2007, a total of 176,000 stock options remain available to be granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

The Board of Directors believes that increasing the number of shares of common stock available for grant under our 1996 Stock Option Plan will be important to our future success by allowing us to remain competitive in attracting and retaining highly qualified employees and executive officers.  Therefore, in June 2007, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 1996 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of common share purchase options granted or to be granted thereunder by 3,000,000 common shares, subject to shareholder approval.

-20-




Accordingly, the shareholders of the Corporation are now being asked to consider and, if thought fit, pass the following ordinary resolution:

“RESOLVED that the 1996 Stock Option Plan in the form approved by the directors of the Corporation, pursuant to which the maximum number of common shares which may be issued under the 1996 Stock Option Plan be increased by 3,000,000 common shares, be and the same is hereby approved, subject to any amendment thereto requested or required by the applicable regulatory authorities.”

The affirmative vote of a majority of the common shares represented in person or by proxy at our annual and special meeting is required to approve this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" INCREASING THE NUMBER OF COMMON SHARE PURCHASE OPTIONS GRANTED OR TO BE GRANTED UNDER OUR 1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN BY 3,000,000 COMMON SHARES.

Summary of the 1996 Stock Option Plan

The material terms of the 1996 Stock Option Plan are summarized below.  The following summary of certain provisions of the 1996 Stock Option Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 1996 Stock Option Plan, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 99.2 to a Form S-8 filed by LML with the SEC on November 6, 2000 (which can be found at www.sec.gov).

Administration and General Terms

Our 1996 Stock Option Plan is currently administered by our stock option plan administration committee.  The committee considers recommendations from our corporation’s compensation committee as to the granting of stock options and has sole discretion as to the interpretation and construction of any provision of the 1996 Stock Option Plan, and the determination of the terms and conditions of options granted pursuant  to the 1996 Stock Option Plan, although no participant may be granted options exceeding the maximum number of shares permitted under the rules of any stock exchange on which the common shares are then listed or other regulatory body having jurisdiction. The exercise price of options issued under the 1996 Stock Option Plan shall not be less than the price permitted by any applicable regulator (and, in any event, will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant) and such price shall be paid in cash or by certified check or bank draft.  The term of each option shall not exceed that permitted by any applicable regulator (presently 10 years from the date of grant), and the right to exercise options is limited in the event the participant ceases, for any reason, to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of our corporation.  Options will be evidenced by a written agreement or other document containing the terms and conditions of the options. Options are generally not transferable or assignable, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution upon the demise of the option holder.

Shares Available for Option Grants
 
If the amendment to the 1996 Stock Option Plan is approved by shareholders, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that would be available for future issuance would be 3,176,000.  In the event of an equity restructuring of our Corporation that causes the per-share fair value of the our common stock to change (e.g., a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, etc.), the committee will make equitable adjustments to the share limits described above, the number and type of shares subject to outstanding options, and the purchase or exercise price of outstanding options. In the case of any other corporate transaction or event, the committee may make adjustments in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided under the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

Shares that are subject to options that terminate, lapse or are cancelled or forfeited will be available again for grant under the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

-21-



Eligibility

Generally, employees, directors, officers and consultants of LML are eligible to receive options under the 1996 Stock Option Plan (except that under the terms of the plan, U.S. residents are not eligible to receive option grants).  As of June 15, 2007, approximately 10 employees, officers and directors of LML are eligible as a class to be selected by the committee to receive options under the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

Withholding of Taxes

The Corporation may deduct, from any payment or distribution of shares under the 1996 Stock Option Plan, the amount of any tax required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment, or may require the participant to pay such amount to the Corporation prior to, and as a condition of, making such payment or distribution.
 
Termination and Amendment

The 1996 Stock Option Plan became effective in 1996 and will continue until suspended or terminated by the Board of Directors, provided no such suspension or termination will adversely affect any then-outstanding options that have been granted under the plan. The Board of Directors may at any time amend the 1996 Stock Option Plan, provided that the Board will obtain shareholder approval of any amendment if required under any applicable laws or under the rules of any regulatory agency.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the 1996 Stock Option Plan is based on statutory authority, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations as of the date of this proxy statement, all of which are subject to change at any time (possibly with retroactive effect).  The following discussion pertains only to the tax laws of the U.S. and does not pertain to the tax laws of any other jurisdiction (including Canada).

Grant of Stock Options

The grant of a stock option is not expected to result in any taxable income for the recipient.

Exercise of Stock Options  

Upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the option holder must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of LML common stock acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and the Corporation generally will be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount. The holder of an incentive stock option generally will have no taxable income upon exercising the option (except that an alternative minimum tax liability may arise), and the Corporation will not be entitled to an income tax deduction.

Disposition of Shares Acquired Upon Exercise of Options

The tax consequence upon a disposition of shares acquired through the exercise of an option will depend on how long the shares have been held and whether the shares were acquired by exercising an incentive stock option or by exercising a non-qualified stock option. Generally, there will be no tax consequence to the Corporation in connection with the disposition of shares acquired under an option, except that the Corporation may be entitled to an income tax deduction in the case of the disposition of shares acquired under an incentive stock option before the applicable incentive stock option holding periods set forth in the Internal Revenue Code have been satisfied.

Income Tax Deduction  

Subject to the usual rules concerning reasonable compensation, including the Corporation's obligation to withhold or otherwise collect certain income and payroll taxes, the Corporation generally will be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction at the time a participant recognizes ordinary income from option grants made under the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

PROPOSAL FOUR – AMENDMENT OF 1998 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Proposed Amendment to the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan

Our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, which was first adopted by our Board of Directors and shareholders in 1998, provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based awards to acquire our common stock to eligible participants.  The purpose of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel, to provide additional incentives to employees, officers, directors and consultants to achieve the goals of our corporation and our shareholders and to promote the success of our business.  The Board of Directors believes that the grant of stock options and other equity awards is a highly effective way to align the interests of management with those of our shareholders and provides a cost-effective means of recognizing employee contributions to the success of the Corporation.

At our annual meeting on September 18, 2000, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the maximum number of common shares in our capital that may be issued pursuant to all awards granted under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan from 1,000,000 common shares to 3,000,000 common shares.  As of June 15, 2007, a total of 1,518,033 stock options have been granted under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, of which 1,009,500 remain outstanding as of that date.  As of June 15, 2007, a total of 1,481,967 stock options and other awards remain available to be granted under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.

-23-



The Board of Directors believes that increasing the number of shares of common stock available for grant under our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan will be important to our future success by allowing us to remain competitive in attracting and retaining highly qualified employees and executive officers.  Therefore, in June 2007, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of common share purchase options and other stock-based awards granted or to be granted thereunder by 3,000,000 common shares , subject to shareholder approval.

Accordingly, the shareholders of the Corporation are now being asked to consider and, if thought fit, pass the following ordinary resolution:

“RESOLVED that the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan in the form approved by the directors of the Corporation, pursuant to which the maximum number of common shares which may be issued under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan be increased by 3,000,000 common shares, be and the same is hereby approved, subject to any amendment thereto requested or required by the applicable regulatory authorities.”

The affirmative vote of a majority of the common shares represented in person or by proxy at our annual and special meeting is required to approve this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" INCREASING THE NUMBER OF COMMON SHARE PURCHASE OPTIONS OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS GRANTED OR TO BE GRANTED UNDER OUR 1998 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN BY 3,000,000 COMMON SHARES.

Summary of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan
 
The material terms of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan are summarized below.  The following summary of certain provisions of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form S-8 filed by LML with the SEC on November 6, 2000 (which can be found at www.sec.gov).

Administration and General Terms
 
Our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan is currently administered by our stock option plan administration committee.  The committee considers recommendations from the corporation’s compensation committee as to the granting of stock options or other awards and has sole discretion as to the interpretation and construction of any provision of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, and the determination of the terms and conditions of awards granted pursuant to the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.  Awards will be evidenced by a written agreement or other document containing the terms and conditions of the awards.

The maximum number of shares with respect to which options or SARs may be granted in any fiscal year to any grantee who is a director, officer or employee of our corporation or any of its subsidiaries is 500,000 shares, subject to certain adjustments. The term of each award shall not exceed that permitted by any applicable regulator (presently 10 years from the date of grant), provided that the term of any incentive stock option shall not exceed 10 years, and provided further that if an incentive stock option is granted to a grantee who, at the time of the grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of our corporation or any of its subsidiaries, the term of the incentive stock option shall not exceed 5 years. The right to exercise awards is limited in the event the participant ceases, for any reason, to be a director, employee or consultant of our corporation. Awards are generally not transferable or assignable, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution upon the demise of the award holder.

The committee has the discretion to determine the exercise or purchase price for any awards under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, except that: (a) the exercise or purchase price of any incentive stock option or any award intended to qualify as "Performance-Based Compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant; and the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a grantee whose holdings exceed 10% of the voting power must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.  The committee does not intend to grant any stock options for an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Types of Awards

The 1998 Stock Incentive Plan permits the granting of:
 
·  
stock options (including both incentive and non-qualified stock options),
 
·  
stock appreciation rights ("SARs"),
 
·  
restricted stock,
 
·  
dividend equivalents rights,
 
·  
performance awards (which may be "qualified performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code), and
 
·  
other stock-based awards.
 
Stock options may be granted as either "Incentive Stock Options" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or options which do not qualify as incentive stock options (which are commonly referred to as non-qualified stock options).  Stock appreciation rights generally entitle the grantee to acquire such number of common shares or such cash compensation as will be determined by reference to any appreciation in the value of our common shares in accordance with terms established by the committee.  Shares of restricted stock are generally issuable for such consideration (if any) and subject to such restrictions on transfer, rights of first refusal, repurchase provisions, forfeiture provisions, and other terms and conditions as are established by the committee.  Dividend equivalent rights generally entitle the grantee to compensation measured by any dividends paid on our common shares.  Performance awards include “Performance Shares" that may be earned in whole or in part upon attainment of performance criteria established by the committee and "Performance Units" that may be earned in whole or in part upon attainment of performance criteria established by the committee and which may be settled in cash, common shares or other securities, or a combination of cash, common shares or other securities, as established by the committee.

Shares Available for Award Grants
 
If the amendment to the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan is approved by shareholders, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that would be available for future issuance would be 4,481,967.  In the event of an equity restructuring of our Corporation that causes the per-share fair value of the our common stock to change (e.g., a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, etc.), the committee will make equitable adjustments to the share limits described above, the number and type of shares subject to outstanding awards, and the purchase or exercise price of outstanding awards. In the case of any other corporate transaction or event, the committee may make adjustments in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.

Shares that are subject to options or other awards that terminate, lapse or are cancelled or forfeited will be available again for grant under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.

Eligibility
 
Generally, employees, directors, officers and consultants of LML and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive options and other awards under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.  Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees and officers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The committee currently intends to grant options and/or other awards to both eligible participants who are residents of the United States and those who are residents of Canada.  As of June 15, 2007, approximately 51 employees, officers and directors of LML are eligible as a class to be selected by the committee to receive options or other awards under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.
 
Withholding of Taxes

The Corporation may deduct, from any payment or distribution of shares under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, the amount of any tax required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment, or may require the participant to pay such amount to the Corporation prior to, and as a condition of, making such payment or distribution.

-25-



Termination and Amendment

The 1998 Stock Incentive Plan became effective in 1998 and may be suspended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time, provided no such suspension or termination will adversely affect any then-outstanding options or other awards that have been granted under the plan.  The Board of Directors may at any time amend the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, provided that the Board will obtain shareholder approval of any amendment if required under any applicable laws or under the rules of any regulatory agency.  Under applicable U.S. tax laws, a material amendment to a stock incentive plan (such as an amendment increasing the number of shares to be granted thereunder) effectively constitutes a re-adoption of the plan.  Accordingly, the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan will continue for a term of ten (10) years from the date of the last material amendment of the plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan is based on statutory authority, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations as of the date of this proxy statement, all of which are subject to change at any time (possibly with retroactive effect).  The following discussion pertains only to the tax laws of the U.S. and does not pertain to the tax laws of any other jurisdiction (including Canada).

Grant of Options and SARs

The grant of a stock option or SAR is not expected to result in any taxable income for the recipient.

Exercise of Options and SARs

Upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the option holder must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of LML common stock acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and the Corporation generally will be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount. The holder of an incentive stock option generally will have no taxable income upon exercising the option (except that an alternative minimum tax liability may arise), and the Corporation will not be entitled to an income tax deduction. Upon exercise of an SAR, the amount of any cash received and the fair market value on the exercise date of any shares of LML common stock received are taxable to the recipient as ordinary income and generally deductible by the Corporation.

Disposition of Shares Acquired Upon Exercise of Options and SARs

The tax consequence upon a disposition of shares acquired through the exercise of an option or SAR will depend on how long the shares have been held and whether the shares were acquired by exercising an incentive stock option or by exercising a non-qualified stock option or SAR. Generally, there will be no tax consequence to the Corporation in connection with the disposition of shares acquired under an option or SAR, except that the Corporation may be entitled to an income tax deduction in the case of the disposition of shares acquired under an incentive stock option before the applicable incentive stock option holding periods set forth in the Internal Revenue Code have been satisfied.

Awards Other than Options and SARs

As to other awards granted under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan that are payable either in cash or shares of LML common stock that are either transferable or not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, the holder of the award must recognize ordinary income equal to (a) the amount of cash received or, as applicable, (b) the excess of the (i) fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the date of receipt) over (ii) the amount (if any) paid for the shares by the holder of the award. The Corporation generally will be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount.

As to an award that is payable in shares of LML common stock that are restricted as to transferability and subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, unless a special election is made by the holder of the award pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, the holder must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the first time the shares become transferable or not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever occurs earlier) over (ii) the amount (if any) paid for the shares by the holder of the award. The Corporation generally will be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount.

-26-



Income Tax Deduction

Subject to the usual rules concerning reasonable compensation, including the Corporation's obligation to withhold or otherwise collect certain income and payroll taxes, and assuming that, as expected, stock options, SARs and certain other performance awards paid under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan are "qualified performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Corporation generally will be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction at the time a participant recognizes ordinary income from awards made under the Plan.

Special Rules

 Special rules may apply to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, unless a special election is made by the holder of the award pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, shares received through the exercise of a stock option or SAR may be treated as restricted as to transferability and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for a period of up to six months after the date of exercise. Accordingly, the amount of any ordinary income recognized and the amount of the Corporation's income tax deduction will be determined as of the end of that period.

Plan Benefits

The table below shows the aggregate number of awards granted under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 to (i) each Named Executive Officer named in the Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement, (ii) each nominee for election as a director, and (iii) and each group specified below.  Additional information regarding grants of equity awards is contained in the "Equity Compensation Plan Information” and “Executive Compensation” sections in this proxy statement.  The amounts and types of options and other awards that will be granted in the future under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan are not determinable because the committee in its discretion will make such determinations.

PROPOSAL FIVE – AMENDMENT OF BY-LAWS

Effective January 1, 2008, all securities listed on NASDAQ are required to be eligible for a Direct Registration System (“DRS”).  This listing requirement applies to all listed issuers including Canadian incorporated issuers such as the Corporation.  DRS enables an investor to have securities registered in the investor’s name without having a physical certificate issued to the investor and also allows the investor to transfer securities electronically to its broker-dealer in order to effect a transaction without the risk of delays associated with the use of physical certificates.

Our board of directors has approved, and recommends that our shareholders confirm, an amendment to Section 8.05 of our Bylaws to clarify the requirements with respect to the registration of transfers of the Corporation’s shares for which a certificate has not been issued.

The full text of the amendment to Section 8.05 of our Bylaws is as follows:

8.05           Registration of Transfer

Subject to the provisions of the Act, no transfer of shares shall be registered in a securities register except upon presentation of the certificate representing such shares with a transfer endorsed thereon or delivered therewith duly executed by the registered holder or by his attorney or successor duly appointed, or upon proper instructions from the holder of uncertificated shares, in each case together with such reasonable assurances or evidence of signature, identification and authority to transfer as the board may from time to time prescribe, upon payment of all applicable taxes and any fees prescribed by the board, upon compliance with such restrictions on transfer as are authorized by the articles and upon satisfaction of any lien referred to in Clause 8.11.

The foregoing amendment to our Bylaws became effective upon its adoption by our board of directors on June 20, 2007, but pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Yukon), is subject to confirmation by our shareholders.  If the amendment is confirmed, or if it is confirmed with such further amendments as the shareholders may approve, it will continue in effect in the form in which it was so confirmed.  If the amendment is rejected by the shareholders, it will cease to be effective as at the date of our annual and special meeting.
 
The affirmative vote of a majority of the common shares represented in person or by proxy at our annual and special meeting is required to approve this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" AMENDING SECTION 8.05 OF OUR BYLAWS, TO CLARIFY THE REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS OF THE CORPORATION’S SHARES FOR WHICH A CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.


INCLUSION OF FUTURE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS IN PROXY MATERIALS

All proposals of shareholders intended to be included in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to our annual meeting of shareholders for the year ending March 31, 2008 (the "2008 Annual Meeting") must be received by our corporation no later than March 10, 2008 (assuming that the 2008 Annual Meeting is held on a date that is within 30 days from the date of our annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on August 8, 2007).  All such proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 138 of the Business Corporations Act (Yukon), both of which set forth specific requirements and limitations applicable to nominations and proposals at annual meetings of shareholders.

For any shareholder proposal that is not submitted for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2008 Annual Meeting pursuant to the processes of Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any proposal that is submitted under Section 138 of the Business Corporations Act (Yukon), notice of such proposal must be received by our corporation no later than May 22, 2008 (assuming that the 2008 Annual Meeting is held on a date that is within 30 days from the anniversary date of our annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on August 8, 2007); otherwise, we may exercise, pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, discretionary voting authority under proxies we solicit for the 2008 Annual Meeting.

-28-



All shareholder proposals, notices and requests should be made in writing and sent via registered, certified or express mail, to our corporation at Suite 1680, 1140 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4G1 Attention:  Carolyn Gaines, Corporate Secretary.

With respect to business to be brought before the 2007 annual and special meeting to be held on August 8, 2007, we have not received any notices from shareholders that we were required to include in this proxy statement.

“HOUSEHOLDING” OF PROXY MATERIAL

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g. brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports to shareholders with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single copy of those documents addressed to those shareholders.  This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding”, potentially means extra conveniences for security holders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with accountholders who are shareholders of our corporation will be “householding” our proxy materials.  As indicated in the notice previously provided by these brokers to shareholders of our corporation, a single proxy statement and a single annual report to shareholders will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from an affected shareholder.  Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.  If at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and/or a separate annual report to shareholders, please notify your broker, or call us at 604-689-4440 or write to us at LML Payment Systems Inc., Suite 1680, 1140 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4G1, Attn: Corporate Secretary.  We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the proxy statement and/or a separate annual report to shareholders, as applicable, to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.

Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement and/or a separate annual report to shareholders at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Other than as described under the heading “Executive Compensation”, since the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we have not been a party to any transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which, to our knowledge, any of the following persons had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest: any director or executive officer of our corporation; any nominee for election as a director of our corporation; any beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of our common stock; or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons.

All transactions with related persons are reviewed, approved and ratified by the Audit Committee of our board of directors.  The Audit Committee is in the process of adopting a written policy with respect to the review, approval and ratification of transactions with related persons.

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Attention is directed to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007.  A copy of the Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K has been sent, or is concurrently being sent, to all shareholders of record as of June 26,2007.

AVAILABILITY OF FORM 10-K

A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the financial statements, but without exhibits, is available on our website at www.lmlpayment.com by clicking on “investor relations” and will be provided without charge to any shareholder or beneficial owner of our common shares upon written request to Carolyn L. Gaines, Corporate Secretary, LML Payment Systems Inc., Suite 1680 - 1140 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4G1.

REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT

Our registrar and transfer agent is Computershare Investor Services Inc., 6th Floor, 530 - 8th Avenue, S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 3S8 (facsimile (403) 267-6529).

SUBMITTING A PROXY VIA THE INTERNET OR BY TELEPHONE

For Shares Directly Registered in the Name of the Shareholder

Shareholders with shares registered directly with Computershare Investor Services Inc. may submit a proxy to vote those shares telephonically or via the Internet by following the instructions on the proxy card that they receive.

For Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or a Bank

A number of brokers and banks are participating in a program provided through Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as ADP Investor Communication Services) in the United States and Broadridge Investor Communications Solutions, Canada (formerly known as ADP Investor Communications Canada) that offers telephone and Internet voting options.  This program is different from the program provided by Computershare for shares registered directly in the name of shareholders.  If your shares are held in an account with a broker or a bank participating in the Broadridge Solutions program, you may provide voting instructions to the broker or bank holding your shares telephonically by calling the telephone number shown on the voting form received from your broker or bank, or via the Internet at Broadridge Solutions’ website (www.proxyvote.com).

OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING

In addition to the matters to be voted upon by the shareholders of our common shares, we will receive and consider both the Report of the Board of Directors to the Shareholders, and the financial statements of our corporation for the years ended March 31, 2007, March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, together with the auditors report thereon. These matters do not require shareholder approval, and therefore shareholders will not be required to vote upon these matters.

Except for the above-noted matters, our board of directors does not intend to bring any other matters before the meeting and does not know of any matters that will be brought before the meeting by others.  If other matters properly come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the solicited proxy to vote the proxy on such matters in accordance with their good judgment.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PROXIES BE RETURNED PROMPTLY.  THEREFORE, SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO MARK, DATE, SIGN AND PROMPTLY RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY.

 
By Order of the Board of Directors:

Appendix A is not a part of the proxy statement)


LML PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC.
(formerly Leisureways Marketing Ltd.)

1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN


1.
PURPOSE

The purpose of the Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") of Leisureways Marketing Ltd., a body corporate incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) (the "Company"), is to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging the directors, management and employees of the Company to acquire shares in the Company, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in the Company, encouraging them to remain associated with the Company and furnishing them with additional incentive in their efforts on behalf of the Company in the conduct of their affairs.

2.
ADMINISTRATION AND GRANTING OF OPTIONS

The Plan shall be administered by the Executive Committee of directors appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company, or, if no Executive Committee is appointed, by the President of the Company (such Executive Committee or, if no such committee is appointed, the President of the Company, is hereinafter referred to as the "Committee"), in either case subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to rules of procedure fixed by the Board of Directors.

The Committee may from time to time designate directors, officers and employees or consultants of the Company (the "Participants") to whom Options to purchase common shares of the Company may be granted and the number of common shares to be optioned to each, provided that the total number of common shares to be optioned shall not exceed the number provided in Clauses  and  hereof.

3.
SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

Subject to adjustment as provided in Clause hereof, the shares to be offered under the Plan shall consist of shares of the Company's authorized but unissued common shares.  The aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon the exercise of all Options granted under the Plan shall not exceed the maximum number of shares permitted under the rules of any stock exchange on which the common shares are then listed or other regulatory body having jurisdiction.  The maximum number of shares has been fixed with the approval of the disinterested shareholders of the Company in general meeting at up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares.  If any Option granted hereunder shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares subject thereto shall again be available for the purpose of this Plan.

4.
NUMBER OF OPTIONED SHARES

The number of shares subject to an Option to a Participant shall be determined by the Committee, but no Participant shall be granted an Option which exceeds the maximum number of shares permitted under the rules of any stock exchange on which the common shares are then listed or other regulatory body having jurisdiction, which maximum number of shares is presently 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (on a non-diluted basis).

5.
VESTING

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine the time during which Options shall vest and the method of vesting or that no vesting restriction shall exist.

EXERCISE PRICE

The exercise price of the shares covered by each Option shall be determined by the Committee.  The exercise price shall not be less than the price permitted by any stock exchange on which the common shares are then listed or other regulatory body having jurisdiction.

(b)  
Except as set forth in Clauses  and , no Option may be exercised unless the Participant is, at the time of such exercise, a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company, and the requirements of the stock exchange upon which the Company's shares are listed for trading have been fulfilled.

(c)  
The exercise of any Option will be contingent upon receipt by the Corporation at its head office of a written notice of exercise, specifying the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, accompanied by cash payment, certified cheque or bank draft for the full purchase price of such shares with respect to which the Option is exercised.  No Participant or his legal representatives, legatees or distributees will be, or will be deemed to be, a holder of any shares subject to an Option under this Plan unless and until the certificates for such shares are issued to such persons under the terms of the Plan.

11.
CEASING TO BE A DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT

Unless otherwise negotiated in writing by the Company, if a Participant shall cease to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company for any reason (other than death), he may, but only within 30 days next succeeding his ceasing to be a director, officer, employee or consultant, exercise his Option to the extent that he was entitled to exercise it at the date of such cessation.

Nothing contained in the Plan, nor in any Option granted pursuant to the Plan, shall as such confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance as a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or of any affiliate.

A-2



12.
DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT

In the event of the death of a Participant, the Option previously granted to him shall be exercisable only within the 12 months next succeeding such death and then only:

14.
PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF SHARES

The proceeds from sale of shares issued upon the exercise of the Options shall be added to the general funds of the Company and shall thereafter be used from time to time for such corporate purposes as the Committee may determine and direct.

15.
ADJUSTMENTS

Appropriate adjustments in the number of common shares optioned and in the Option price per share, as regards, Options granted or to be granted, may be made by the Committee in its discretion to give effect to adjustments in the number of common shares of the Company resulting subsequent to the approval of the Plan by the Committee from subdivisions, consolidations or reclassification of the common shares of the Company, the payment of stock dividends by the Company or other relevant changes in the capital of the Company.

16.
TRANSFERABILITY

All benefits, rights and Options accruing to the Participant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan shall not be transferrable or assignable unless specifically provided herein.  During the lifetime of a Participant any benefits, rights and Options may only be exercised by the Participant.

17.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Committee may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Plan.  The Board of Directors may also at any time amend or revise the terms of the Plan, PROVIDED that no such amendment or revision shall alter the terms of any Options theretofore granted under the Plan.

18.
NECESSARY APPROVALS

The ability of the Options to be exercised and the obligation of the Company to issue and deliver shares in accordance with the Plan is subject to any approvals which may be required from the shareholders of the Company, any regulatory authority or stock exchange having jurisdiction over the securities of the Company.  If any shares cannot be issued to the Participant for whatever reason, the obligation of the Company to issue such shares shall terminate and any Option exercise price paid to the Company will be returned to the Participant.

19.
PRIOR PLANS

The Plan shall entirely replace and supersede any prior share option plans, if any, enacted by the Board of Directors of the Company or its predecessor corporations.

20.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN

The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the Company.

6.
Terms and Conditions of Awards.
 
 
(a)
Type of Awards.  The Administrator is authorized under the Plan to award any type of arrangement to an Employee, Director or Consultant that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) an Option, a SAR or similar right with a fixed or variable price related to the Fair Market Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or (iii) any other security with the value derived from the value of the Shares.  Such awards include, without limitation, Options, SARs, sales or bonuses of Restricted Stock, Dividend Equivalent Rights, Performance Units or Performance Shares, and an Award may consist of one such security or benefit, or two (2) or more of them in any combination or alternative.
 
 
(b)
Designation of Award.  Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement.  In the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option.  However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation,  shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.  For this purpose, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the date the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.
 
 
(c)
Conditions of Award.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria.  The performance criteria established by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or combination of, increase in share price, earnings per share, total stockholder return, return on equity, return on assets, return on investment, net operating income, cash flow, revenue, economic value added, personal management objectives, or other measures of performance selected by the Administrator.  Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a payment or vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement.
 
 
(d)
Acquisitions and Other Transactions.  The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with the Company or a Related Entity acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction.
 
 
(e)
Deferral of Award Payment.  The Administrator may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Grantee to payment or receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award.  The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.
 
 
(f)
Award Exchange Programs.  The Administrator may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Grantees to exchange an Award under the Plan for one or more other types of Awards under the Plan on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.
 

B-6



 
 
(g)
Separate Programs.  The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.
 
 
(h)
Individual Option and SAR Limit.  The maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to any Employee in any fiscal year of the Company shall be 500,000 Shares.  The foregoing limitation shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization pursuant to Section 10, below.  To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitation with respect to an Employee, if any Option or SAR is canceled, the canceled Option or SAR shall continue to count against the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options and SARs may be granted to the Employee.  For this purpose, the repricing of an Option (or in the case of a SAR, the base amount on which the stock appreciation is calculated is reduced to reflect a reduction in the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock) shall be treated as the cancellation of the existing Option or SAR and the grant of a new Option or SAR.
 
 
(i)
Early Exercise.  The Award Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Grantee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise any part or all of the Award prior to full vesting of the Award.  Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such exercise may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a Related Entity or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate.
 
 
(j)
Term of Award.  The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the Award Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an Incentive Stock Option shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.  However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
 
 
(k)
Transferability of Awards.  Incentive Stock Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only by the Grantee; provided, however, that the Grantee may designate a beneficiary of the Grantee’s Incentive Stock Option in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator.  Other Awards shall be transferable to the extent provided in the Award Agreement.
 
 
(l)
Time of Granting Awards.  The date of grant of an Award shall for all purposes be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Award, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator.  Notice of the grant determination shall be given to each Employee, Director or Consultant to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

(ii)
check;
 
 
(iii)
surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may require (including withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Award) which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Award shall be exercised (but only to the extent that such exercise of the Award would not result in an accounting compensation charge with respect to the Shares used to pay the exercise price unless otherwise determined by the Administrator); or
