      greater number of Shares, the Company shall deliver at the time of any

      and the exercise price of the Option shall be adjusted
  accordingly;







- 3 -

	 	(c) 	
      in the event of any change of the Shares as constituted
      on the date hereof, at any time while the Option is in effect, the Company
      will thereafter deliver at the time of purchase of Optioned Shares
      hereunder the number of shares of the appropriate class resulting from the
      said change as the Optionee would have been entitled to receive in respect
      of the number of Shares so purchased had the right to purchase been
      exercised before such change and the exercise price of the Option shall be
      adjusted accordingly;

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      in the event of a capital reorganization,
      reclassification or change of outstanding equity shares (other than a
      change in the par value thereof) of the Company, a consolidation, merger
      or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other company or a sale of
      the property of the Company as or substantially as an entirety at any time
      while the Option is in effect, the Optionee will thereafter have the right
      to purchase and receive, in lieu of the Optioned Shares immediately
      theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the Option,
      the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable
      upon such capital reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation,
      merger, amalgamation or sale which the holder of a number of Shares equal
      to the number of Optioned Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and
      receivable upon the exercise of the Option would have received as a result
      thereof and the exercise price of the Option shall be adjusted
      accordingly. The subdivision or consolidation of Shares at any time
      outstanding (whether with or without par value) will not be deemed to be a
      capital reorganization or a reclassification of the capital of the Company
      for the purposes of this subparagraph;

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      an adjustment will take effect at the time of the event
      giving rise to the adjustment, and the adjustments provided for in this
      section are cumulative;

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      the Company will not be required to issue fractional
      shares in satisfaction of its obligations hereunder. Any fractional
      interest in a Share that would, except for the provisions of this
      subparagraph, be deliverable upon the exercise of the Option will be
      cancelled and not be deliverable by the Company; and

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      if any questions arise at any time with respect to the
      exercise price or number of Optioned Shares deliverable upon exercise of
      the Option in any of the events set out in this subparagraph, such
      questions will be conclusively determined by the Company’s auditors, or,
      if they decline to so act, any other firm of Chartered Accountants, in
      Vancouver, British Columbia (or in the city of the Company’s principal
      executive office) that the Company may designate and who will be granted
      access to all appropriate records. Such determination will be binding upon
      the Company and the Optionee.



8.                     
The Optionee shall have no rights whatsoever as a shareholder in respect of any
of the Optioned Shares (including any right to receive dividends or other
distribution therefrom or thereon) except in respect of which the Option has
been properly exercised in accordance with paragraph 4 hereof.
