The Landlord and Tenant agree to the foregoing  basic terms.  Each  reference in

                                       1

1.02 Specific Provisions.  The following provisions (the "Specific  Provisions")
have been  agreed  upon by the Tenant and the  Landlord  to add to or modify the
standard  provisions of the Lease which are those  contained in ARTICLES 2 to 16
of this Lease (the "Standard Provisions").  In case of discrepancy, the Specific
Provisions will prevail over the Standard Provisions.

(A)  Exclusivity.  As long as Canon Canada Inc.  ("Canon")  or a  subsidiary  or
     affiliate of Canon is a tenant of the Building, the Tenant shall not assign
     the Lease or sub-lease all or part of the Leased Premises to any competitor
     of Canon or of Canon's  affiliates or subsidiaries and the Tenant shall not
     conduct any business in the Leased  Premises that would cause the Tenant to
     become or to be perceived as a competitor of Canon or of Canon's affiliates
     or subsidiaries.  For the purpose of this Lease a competitor of Canon or of
     Canon's affiliates or subsidiaries is a major supplier, distributor, dealer
     or  manufacturer  of cameras and lenses and/or  business  machines (such as
     copying and  telecopying  machines,  scanners and  printers) of the kind of
     Ikon,  Xerox,  Sony and  Nikon in 1999.  For  clarification,  suppliers  of
     products and/or services that sell also small amounts, as compared to their
     total sales,  of cameras and lenses or business  machines are not deemed to
     be  competitors  of Canon or of Canon's  affiliates  or  subsidiaries  (for
     example a marine or outdoor equipment  supplier which sells also waterproof
     binoculars and cameras).

(B)  Landlord's Option to Terminate. The Landlord shall be entitled to terminate
     this Lease and all of the Tenant's other leases of premises in the Building
     (but not less than all of the  Tenant's  leases)  upon one  hundred  eighty
     (180)  days'  prior  written  notice to the Tenant and upon  payment to the
     Tenant of a  termination  fee equal to three (3)  months of Basic  Rent (as
     defined in each of the Tenant's leases) as full compensation for all costs,
     damages, nuisance and discomfort which the Tenant my incur or suffer.

(C)  Financial Reporting By Tenant.  Subject to the execution by the Landlord of
     a  Non-Disclosure  Agreement,  the Tenant shall provide  monthly  financial
     statements to the Landlord  until  positive Cash Flow has been achieved for
     two consecutive quarters.

(D)  Landlord and Tenant Work.  The Landlord shall  construct,  at its cost, the
     new corridor required to achieve the configuration outlined in Schedule "A"
     attached  hereto,  including  the  work  required  to  separate  the  HVAC,
     sprinkler and electrical systems.  The Tenant will construct,  at its cost,
     any work required in the Leased Premises,  including any new entry and exit
     building  standard  doors from the new  corridor  that may be required  and
     including,   but  not  limited  to,  if  required,   modifications  to  the
     distribution  of the HVAC,  sprinkler and  electrical  systems.  All of the
     foregoing works shall be completed during the month of June 2002.

(E)  Tenant's  Option to  Surrender.  The Tenant  shall be entitled to partially
     surrender this Lease,  without penalty,  with respect to a maximum of 3,000
     square feet of Rentable Area located at the south-east corner of the Leased
     Premises, under the following circumstances:

     o    a  replacement  tenant  is  willing  to  enter  into a lease  with the
          Landlord for the surrendered premises at conditions that the Landlord,
          acting reasonably, considers "at market"; and

     o    the  replacement  tenant  offers,  in the  reasonable  opinion  of the
          Landlord, an adequate covenant; and

     o    the  demising  of the Leased  Premises  required  to  accommodate  the
          replacement  tenant is, in the sole opinion of the Landlord,  rational
          both for the premises  being demised out and for the remaining  Leased
          Premises; and

     o    the  proposed  lease  term is at least  three  (3)  years  unless  the
          replacement tenant is Styrdent Software Inc.

(F)  Roof  Access.  The Tenant  shall,  throughout  the Term of the Lease,  have
     access to the roof for the  installation  of antennas  and  dishes,  at the
     Tenant's cost.

(G)  Non-Disturbance.  The  Landlord  will  use all  reasonable  efforts  not to
     disturb  the  Tenant  with any future  renovations  or  alterations  to the
     Building.

(H)  Communications   Equipment.   The  Tenant  shall  be  responsible  for  the
     installation  and  maintenance of its  telephones,  computers,  and special
     communications equipment.

(I)  Subsection (b) of the definition of "Operating  Costs", in Section 1.03, is
     hereby amended as follows:

     (b) shall exclude taxes,  debt service,  depreciation,  [expenses  properly
     chargeable to capital account (except capital expenditures that are made by
     the Landlord to reduce  Operating  Costs), - added text] costs of repairing
     structural  defects in the Building  and the cost of acquiring  new tenants
     for the Building  [(for  clarification,  the Landlord will not amortize the
     1999-2000  rehabilitation  project of the building but will  capitalize it;
     that is, the Landlord  shall not be entitled to any refund by the Tenant) -
     added text]; and

(J)  The two  definitions of "Rentable  Area" in Section 1.03 are hereby deleted
     in their entirety and replaced with the following definition:

     "Rentable  Area" in the case of the Leased  Premises means the area thereof
     expressed in square feet as certified by the Landlord's architect, engineer
     or surveyor in accordance with BOMA Standard (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996).

(K)  Section 4.05 "Taxes" is hereby amended as follows:

          4.05 Taxes.  [To pay as  additional  rent to the Landlord the Tenant's
          Proportionate  Share of any Taxes  within 10 days of receipt of notice
          from the Landlord. - deleted text] If Taxes are not imposed separately
          on the portion of the Building  designated  for  warehouse use and the
          portion  designated  for  office use by the  taxing  authorities,  the
          Landlord,  acting  reasonably,  shall  allocate Taxes for the Land and
          Building to the portion of the Building  designated  for warehouse use
          and the  portion  of the  Building  designated  for office use and the
          Tenant shall pay its  Proportionate  Share of such  allocated  amounts
          depending  upon whether the Leased  Premises are designated for office
          or warehouse use.  [Provided however that - deleted text] The Landlord
          [will - added  text] [may - deleted  text]  estimate in advance at the
          beginning  of each  and any  Accounting  Year of the  Term or  portion
          thereof,  the annual  amount of the  Tenant's  Proportionate  Share of
          Taxes and request that the Tenant

                                       2


<PAGE>


          pay and  the  Tenant  shall  pay as  additional  rent  1/12th  of such
          estimated  sum monthly in advance  concurrently  with the  payments of
          Basic Rent pursuant to Article 3 of this Lease.  As soon as the actual
          amount of the  Taxes  for the  Accounting  Year  becomes  known to the
          Landlord  and if the said  amount  exceeds  or is less than the amount
          estimated  by the Landlord by 10% or more,  the Landlord  shall inform
          the  Tenant  and the  parties  shall  make  all  necessary  corrective
          adjustments  immediately.  If the difference between the actual amount
          and the  estimated  amount  of Taxes is less than  10%,  the  Tenant's
          Proportionate  Share of Taxes shall be adjusted  according  to Section
          4.09.

(L)  Section 4.08 "Other Costs" is hereby amended as follows:

          4.08 Other Costs. To pay as additional rent to the Landlord:

               a)   its  Proportionate  Share of  Operating  Costs,  by  monthly
                    installments  to be fixed by the Landlord from time to time;
                    and

               b)   the Costs of Additional Services (if any) upon demand by the
                    Landlord.

          The Landlord,  acting  reasonably,  shall allocate  Operating Costs to
          Operating  Costs for  premises  designated  for  warehouse  use and to
          Operating Costs for premises designated for office use, and the Tenant
          shall pay its Proportionate Share of such costs depending upon whether
          the Leased Premises are designated for office or warehouse use.

          If the  Tenant's  business  hours are  substantially  longer  than the
          Normal Business Hours, the Tenant's  Proportionate  Share of Operating
          Costs shall be adjusted to reflect the additional  services,  supplies
          and  maintenance  required  as a  consequence  of the longer  business
          hours.

          [If the Tenant elects to operate  substantially  24 hours per day, for
          any  significant  amount of days per  year,  in order to  reflect  the
          consequent  increase of services,  supplies and maintenance  caused by
          the Tenant's continuous  operation and with reference to the Operating
          Expense  Accounts  Schedule  attached  as  Schedule  "E"  hereto,  the
          Tenant's Proportionate Share of:

               o    all accounts  for repairs and  maintenance  ("R&M")  (except
                    roof, snow removal and  landscaping),

               o    25% of all accounts for Wage and Other Recoveries,

               o    all accounts for Miscellaneous items,

               o    all accounts for Electricity, Gas and Water consumption and

               o    all accounts for Waste Removal

          will be  increased  by a multiplier  that at the  commencement  of the
          Initial Term has been set by the Landlord and the Tenant at 120% based
          on the assumption  that the Tenant will operate 24 hours per day on 30
          business days per year and will operate 10 hours per day on 30 weekend
          days per year.

          At any time  during  the  duration  of the  Term,  the  Tenant  or the
          Landlord can require that the above described  multiplier be reviewed.
          In  this  case  the  Tenant  and  the  Landlord   shall   negotiate  a
          modification of the multiplier such that the modified  multiplier will
          properly  reflect the additional  Operating  Costs caused by the after
          Normal Business Hours operations of the Tenant.  If the Tenant and the
          Landlord are unable to determine a multiplier  that is  acceptable  to
          both of them  within  one month from  receipt  of the notice  from the
          party  requiring a review of the modifier,  the  determination  of the
          multiplier  will be  referred to a single  arbitrator  pursuant to the
          provisions of the Commercial  Arbitration Act of British Columbia. The
          determination  made by the arbitrator  shall be final and binding upon
          the  Landlord  and the Tenant,  and their  respective  successors  and
          assigns. Each party shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the
          arbitrator. The provisions of this Section shall be determined to be a
          submission to  arbitration  within the  provisions  of the  Commercial
          Arbitration  Act,  as  amended  from  time to time. - added text]

          Wherever,  in the Landlord's  reasonable opinion,  any cost or expense
          included in  Operating  Costs  properly  relates only to a tenant or a
          group of tenants of the Building, the Landlord may charge such cost or
          expense  directly  to such  tenant  or group of  tenants.  Any cost or
          expense charged by the Landlord to the Tenant under this section shall
          be payable by the Tenant upon demand by the Landlord.

(M)  Section 4.11 "Net Lease" is amended by adding at the beginning thereof, the
     following:

          Subject to Section 6.03,

(N)  Section 4.23 "Inspection and Access" is hereby amended as follows:

          4.23  Inspection  and  Access.  To permit  the  Landlord  and  persons

          from the Landlord when notice is appropriate under the  circumstances,
          - added  text]  to  enter  the  Leased  Premises  for the  purpose  of
          inspection,   maintenance,   providing   janitor  service  and  window
          cleaning,  making  repairs,  alterations or improvements to the Leased
          Premises or the Building,  or to have access to utilities and services
          (including  electrical and mechanical  rooms and access panels,  which
          the Tenant agrees not to obstruct) or to determine the electric  light
          and power consumption by the Tenant in the Leased Premises. The Tenant
          shall provide free and unhampered access for the purpose and shall not
          be  entitled  to  compensation  for  any  inconvenience,  nuisance  or
          discomfort,  but the Landlord in exercising its rights hereunder shall
          proceed  to  the  extent   reasonably   possible  so  as  to  minimize
          interference  with  the  Tenant's  use  and  enjoyment  of the  Leased
          Premises.

(O)  Section 4.24  "Showing  Leased  Premises"  is amended by adding,  after the
     first sentence, the following:

          The Landlord will keep these showings to a maximum of seven (7) visits
          per week, each with 24 hours notice to the Tenant.

          Landlord,  in case of misuse of the electronic  security access system
          or of a  breach  of the  terms  of this  Lease,  including  Rules  and
          Regulations,  or of any behaviour which, at the sole discretion of the
          Landlord,  is  determined  to be  unacceptable,  by the  Tenant or its
          employees, invitees or others under its control, may limit or prohibit
          access to the Building by the Tenant outside Normal  Business Hours in
          addition  to  assessing  the Tenant for any  damage in  accordance  to

          time.  The  Landlord  will  levy a  reasonable  charge  for all  cards
          supplied  to the Tenant.  The Tenant  covenants  with the  Landlord to

          conduct its business in accordance  with the provisions of this Lease.
          The Tenant  acknowledges  that the Landlord is executing this Lease in

          Building  or the Leased  Premises  except in  compliance  with all the
          laws.  The Landlord  represents  and warrants  that to the best of its
          knowledge  having  made  due  enquiry:  (a) the use,  maintenance  and
          operation of the Leased Premises are in compliance with all applicable
          federal,  provincial and municipal  environmental laws ("Environmental
          Laws"); (b) the Landlord has not received any notice of non-compliance
          with any  Environmental  Laws with  respect  to the Land or  Building,
          including the Leased Premises;  (c) there are no Hazardous  Substances
          located on or in the Leased  Premises and no release of any  Hazardous
          Substances has occurred on or from the Leased Premises;  and (d) there
          are no underground or surface storage tanks or urea  formaldehyde foam
          insulation,   asbestos,   polychlorinated   biphenyls  or  radioactive
          substances located on or in the Leased Premises.

          5.09 Remedial Action.  To take any remedial action which any authority

          the Tenant is responsible.

          5.10 Indemnity. To indemnify, defend and save harmless the Tenant from
          and  against  any and all costs,  damages,  losses,  liability,  fees,
          penalties and charges  incurred by,  assessed  against or imposed upon
          the Tenant or its officers, directors,  employees or agents (including
          legal   costs)  as  a  result  of  the   Landlord's   use,   disposal,
          transportation, generation and/or sale of Hazardous Substances.

          5.11 Survival.  That the obligations of the Landlord hereunder related
          to Hazardous  Substances,  and all indemnities of the Landlord hereof,
          shall survive the expiry or earlier termination of this Lease.

          federal,  provincial,  sanitary,  fire and  safety  laws,  by-laws  or

               and  Taxes  -  added  text]  shall  abate  from  time  to time in
               proportion  to the  part or  parts  of the  Leased  Premises  not
               reasonably capable of such use and occupancy, and

                    (ii)  unless  this  Lease  is  terminated   as   hereinafter
               provided,  the  Landlord  or  the  Tenant,  as  the  case  may be

               repair  such  damage with all  reasonable  diligence,  but to the
               extent  that any part of the Leased  Premises  is not  reasonably
               capable of such use and  occupancy  by reason of damage which the
               Tenant is obligated to repair hereunder, any abatement of rent to
               which the Tenant is otherwise entitled hereunder shall not extend
               later than the time by which,  in the  reasonable  opinion of the
               Landlord, repairs by the Tenant ought to have been completed with
               reasonable diligence; and

          (b) if premises whether of the Tenant or other tenants of the Building
          comprising in the  aggregate  half or more of the Rentable Area of the
          Building,  are substantially  damaged or destroyed by any cause to the

          Premises to the Landlord with  reasonable  expedition but in any event
          within 60 days after delivery of such notice of termination,  and rent
          shall be apportioned and paid to the date upon which  possession is so

          be repaired  or rebuilt  within 180 days after the  occurrence  of the
          damage or destruction,  then the Landlord shall provide a copy of such
          opinion to the Tenant and either the Landlord or the Tenant may at its

          of the re-demising, in order to make the assignment possible, can have
          an effective and reasonable layout and access. - added text]

          The Tenant  shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Leased  Premises
          or any part thereof unless:

          a)   it shall have  received or procured a bona fide written  offer to
               take an assignment  or sublease  which is not  inconsistent  with
               this  Lease,  and the  acceptance  of which  would not breach any
               provision of this Lease; and

          b)   it shall have first requested and obtained the consent in writing
               of the Landlord thereto.

          Any request for consent shall be in writing and  accompanied by a true
          copy  of the  offer,  all  information  available  to the  Tenant  and
          requested by the Landlord as to the responsibility, financial standing
          and business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and payment of such
          amount as the  Landlord  reasonably  requires to  reimburse it for its

          [Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of subsection  (a),  within 10 days
          after the receipt by the  Landlord of such  request for consent and of
          all information which the Landlord shall have requested hereunder, the
          Landlord  shall  have the right  upon  written  notice of  termination

          giving of such notice.  In such event the Tenant shall  surrender  the

          form,  prepared  at  the  expense  of the  Tenant,  assuming  all  the
          obligations  of the  Tenant  hereunder.  The  Tenant  agrees  that any
          consent  to an  assignment  or  subletting  of this  Lease  or  Leased
          Premises  shall not  thereby  release  the  Tenant of its  obligations
          hereunder. The consent by the Landlord to an assignment or subletting,
          if granted,  shall not  constitute a waiver of the  necessity  for the
          Tenant to obtain  the  prior  written  consent  of the  Landlord  to a
          subsequent assignment or subletting.

          Without limitation,  the Tenant shall for the purpose of this Lease be
          considered to assign or sublet in any case where it permits the Leased
          Premises or any portion  thereof to be, or the Leased  Premises or any
          portion  thereof are,  occupied by persons other than the Tenant,  its
          employees  and  others  engaged in  carrying  on the  business  of the
          Tenant,  whether pursuant to assignment,  subletting,  parting with or
          sharing  possession,  license  or other  right,  or  where  any of the

          consideration  from the  sublessee  in excess  of the  Basic  Rent and
          Additional  Rent, the Tenant shall pay any such excess to the Landlord
          forthwith on demand as Additional Rent,  provided that the calculation
          of the excess shall be net of the sum of:

               i)   the Tenant's out of pocket costs (such costs including,  but

                    tenant  improvement  allowances,  rent  inducements and free
                    rent) to sublet the Leased Premises; and

     adding, at the end of the first sentence thereof, the following:

          9.03  Removal  of  Fixtures  and  Improvements.  Except to the  extent
          otherwise  expressly  agreed by the Landlord in writing,  no Leasehold
          Improvements,  trade fixtures, furniture or equipment shall be removed
          by the  Tenant  from  the  Leased  Premises  either  during  or at the
          expiration  or  sooner  termination  of the Term  except  that (1) the
          Tenant may at the end of the Term remove its trade  fixtures,  (2) the
          Tenant  shall at the end of the  Term  remove  such of its  [Leasehold
          Improvements  and - deleted text] trade fixtures as the Landlord shall

          usual and  normal  course of its  business  where  such  furniture  or
          equipment has become excess for the Tenant's purposes or the Tenant is
          substituting  therefor new furniture and equipment.  The Tenant shall,
          in the case of every removal  either during or at the end of the Term,
          make good any damage caused to the Leased  Premises or the Building by
          the installation and removal.

          [For  further  clarification,  the  Tenant  shall not be  required  to
          remove,  at the  end of the  Term,  any  Leasehold  Improvements,  the
          installation  of which had  obtained  the  approval  of the  Landlord.
          However,  should  the Lease be  terminated  for breach of lease by the
          Tenant, the Landlord shall be entitled to require the Tenant to remove

               were separately insured;

               (b) insurance,  for the full  replacement cost in respect of fire

               fixtures and the furniture and equipment of the Tenant, and which
               insurance  shall  include the Landlord as a named  insured as the

               Improvements  and provide  that any proceeds  recoverable  in the
               event of loss to Leasehold  Improvements  shall be payable to the

               hereof; and

          All insurance  required to be maintained by the Tenant hereunder shall
          be on terms and with  insurers to which the Landlord has no reasonable
          objection,  shall  provide  that such  insurers  shall  provide to the
          Landlord  30 days prior  written  notice of  cancellation  or material
          alteration  of such  terms  and shall  waive any right of  subrogation
          against the  Landlord.  The Landlord may require the Tenant to furnish
          certificates  or other  evidence  acceptable to the Landlord as to the
          insurance  from time to time required to be effected by the Tenant and
          its renewal or continuation in force.

(DD) Section 16.01 "Renewal" and Section 16.02  "Arbitration" are hereby deleted
     and replaced with the following:

          16.01  Renewal.  The  Landlord  covenants  with the Tenant that if the
          Tenant has  performed  on a timely  basis and is not in default in the
          performance  of the covenants,  provisos and agreements  herein on the
          part of the Tenant to be paid,  observed and  performed and subject to
          the  condition  set out in the last  paragraph  of this  section,  the
          Landlord  will at the  expiration  of the Initial Term (at the cost of
          the Tenant and upon its written request  delivered to the Landlord not
          later than twelve (12) months  before the  expiration of the preceding
          term) grant to the Tenant a renewal lease of the Leased Premises for a
          renewal term as set out in Section  1.01(k),  subject to all the terms
          and conditions herein  contained,  except that the renewal lease shall
          not  include  this right of renewal and except that the Basic Rent and
          the  Parking  Rent  for  the  renewal  term  shall  be as  hereinafter
          specified.

          The  Landlord and the Tenant agree that the Basic Rent and the Parking
          Rent for the renewal term shall be the  prevailing  annual rent in the
          open market then being  charged for leased  premises used for the same
          purposes as the original  Tenant's  Leased Premises and parking rights
          in Burnaby,  and shall be determined  based on the assumption that the
          Tenant has already received any signing bonus,  improvement allowance,
          rent free period or other  inducement  payment  that would be commonly
          received  by the  Tenant  for the  Lease  in the then  current  market
          circumstances,  although  it is  understood  and  agreed  between  the
          Landlord  and  the  Tenant  that no such  signing  bonus,  improvement
          allowance,  rent free  period or other  inducement  payment  under the
          Lease shall in fact be payable.

          In  calculating  the  annual  Basic  Rent for the  renewal  term,  the
          Landlord  and the Tenant  agree to take into  account  that the Leased
          Premises  include any  improvements  which have been or are  hereafter
          made to the  Leased  Premises  by any  person.  If by the date 60 days
          prior to the commencement of the renewal term, the Landlord and Tenant
          have not  agreed as to the  amount of such  annual  Basic  Rent,  such
          amount  shall be  determined  by  arbitration  as  provided in Section
          16.02.  Until the  annual  Basic  Rent has been  determined  as herein
          provided,  the  Tenant  shall  continue  to pay Basic Rent at the rate
          payable  before  such  commencement  and upon such  determination  the
          Landlord and the Tenant shall make the appropriate  readjustments.  In
          no event shall the annual Basic Rent for the renewal term be less than
          the annual  Basic Rent charged  during the last year of the  preceding
          term.

          16.02 Arbitration. If the Landlord and the Tenant have failed to agree
          as to the  annual  Basic  Rent and the  Parking  Rent  for the  Leased
          Premises  payable  with  respect to the renewal  term,  when  required
          hereunder,  the  determination  of such annual  Basic Rent and Parking
          Rent  shall  be  referred  to a  single  arbitrator  pursuant  to  the
          Provisions of the Commercial  Arbitration Act of British Columbia.  In
          determining  the annual Basic Rent,  the  arbitrator  shall assess the
          annual  Basic  Rent on the  assumption  that the  Tenant  has  already
          received any signing bonus, improvement allowance, rent free period or
          other inducement payment that would be commonly received by the Tenant
          for the Lease in the then current market circumstances, although it is
          understood and agreed between the Landlord and the Tenant that no such
          signing  bonus,  improvement  allowance,  rent  free  period  or other
          inducement  payment  under  the  Lease  shall in fact be

                                       8


<PAGE>


          payable.  In  calculating  the annual Basic Rent for the renewal term,
          the  arbitrator  shall  take into  account  that the  Leased  Premises
          include  any  improvements  made prior to the date of the  arbitration
          hearing to the Leased Premises to the extent of any Tenant inducements
          provided  by the  Landlord  to the  Tenant  (namely  $25.00 per square
          foot).  The  determination  made by the arbitrator  shall be final and
          binding  upon  the  Landlord  and the  Tenant,  and  their  respective
          successors and assigns.  Each party shall pay one-half of the fees and
          expenses of the  arbitrator.  The  provisions of this Section shall be
          determined to be a submission to arbitration  within the provisions of
          the Commercial Arbitration Act, as amended from time to time.

                               STANDARD PROVISIONS
                               -------------------

                                    ARTICLE 2
                            LEASED PREMISES AND TERM

2.01 Leased Premises.  In  consideration of the rents,  covenants and agreements
hereinafter  reserved  and  contained  on the  part of the  Tenant  to be  paid,
observed and performed,  the Landlord  leases to the Tenant the Leased  Premises
specified in Section 1.01(c).

2.02  Initial  Term.  The  Initial  Term of the Lease is the  period  set out in
Section 1.01 (e) and the Initial Term commences on the Commencement Date set out
in Section 1.01 (f).

2.03 Possession.  If the Landlord is unable to deliver  possession of the Leased
Premises to the Tenant at the  commencement  of the Initial  Term,  the Landlord
shall not be liable for damages or loss caused thereby,  nor shall this Lease be
void or  voidable,  nor shall the  commencement  or the  expiration  date of the
Initial  Term be changed.  In such event the Tenant shall only be liable for the
rent,  at the  rate  hereby  reserved,  once  the  Landlord  is able to  deliver
possession of the Leased Premises to the Tenant.

2.04 Acceptance of Leased Premises.  Taking  possession of all or any portion of
the Leased  Premises by the Tenant shall be  conclusive  evidence as against the
Tenant that the Leased  Premises  or such  portion  thereof are in  satisfactory
condition on the date of taking possession.

2.05 Security Deposit.  The Landlord  acknowledges receipt of the amount set out
in 1.01 (j) to be held by the  Landlord as a deposit as security for the payment
of rent and performance of the Tenant's  obligations under this Lease. If at any
time rent or any other amount payable by the Tenant is overdue and unpaid or the
Tenant fails to perform any of its  obligations  under this Lease,  the Landlord
may, either before or after terminating this Lease,  apply the whole or any part
of the deposit to the payment of such rent or other amount or to compensate  the
Landlord for any loss or expense  incurred by the Landlord and such  application
will be without prejudice to the Landlord's right to pursue any other remedy set
forth in this  Lease.  If the whole or any part of the deposit is applied by the
Landlord,  the Tenant shall forthwith pay to the Landlord a sufficient amount to
restore the deposit to the amount specified in Section 1.01 (j) and the Tenant's
failure to do so within ten days after  demand will  constitute a breach of this
Lease.  If the Tenant promptly pays all rent as it falls due and performs all of
its  obligations  under this Lease,  the Landlord  will repay the deposit to the
Tenant upon the later of termination of this Lease and the  repossession  of the
Leased  Premises  by the  Landlord.  The  Landlord  may  deliver  and assign the
security  deposit to any  purchaser  of the  Landlord's  interest  in the Leased
Premises  and  thereupon  the  Landlord  will be  discharged  from  any  further
liability with respect to such deposit.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                                      RENT

3.01 Basic  Rent.  The  Tenant  will pay to the  Landlord,  at such place as the
Landlord directs in writing,  during the Initial Term in lawful money of Canada,
without any set off, abatement, compensation, or deduction whatsoever, the Basic
Rent:

a)   for each Lease Year set out in Section  1.01(g),  in the amounts per square
     foot per annum set out in such section  multiplied  by the Rentable Area of
     the Leased Premises payable by equal consecutive monthly installments; and

b)   for the  remainder of the Initial  Term (if any),  in the amount per square
     foot  equal to the  prevailing  rate per  annum  in the open  market  being
     charged for the best use of similar  premises,  with  equivalent  leasehold
     improvements,  in comparable office/retail buildings in Downtown Vancouver,
     without deduction for any signing bonus,  improvement allowance,  rent free
     period or other inducement payment commonly received by tenants in the then
     current market circumstances (the "Prevailing Market Rate"),  multiplied by
     the  Rentable  Area of the Leased  Premises  payable  by equal  consecutive
     monthly installments. The determination of the Prevailing Market Rate shall
     be made  jointly by the Landlord and the Tenant at least three months prior
     to the first day of the  remainder of the Initial  Term,  failing  which it
     shall be referred to a single arbitrator  pursuant to the provisions of the
     Commercial   Arbitration  Act  of  British  Columbia.  In  determining  the
     Prevailing  Market Rate,  ---------------------------  the arbitrator shall
     comply with the  above-described  criteria.  The determination  made by the
     arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the Landlord and the Tenant, and
     their respective  successors and assigns.  Each party shall pay one-half of
     the fees and expenses of the  arbitrator.  The  provisions  of this Section
     shall be determined to be a submission to arbitration within the provisions
     of the Commercial Arbitration Act, as ----------------------------  amended
     from time to time.  In no event shall the annual  Basic Rent for the period
     referred to in Section  3.01(b) be less than the annual  Basic Rent for the
     last Lease Year of the period specified in Section 3.01(a). Until the Basic
     Rent has been  determined  for the  period  (if  any)  referred  to in this
     Section  3.01(b) as herein  provided,  the Tenant shall continue to pay the
     monthly  installment of Basic Rent payable before the  commencement of such
     period and upon such  determination  the Landlord and the Tenant shall make
     the appropriate readjustments.

The Tenant shall pay each monthly  installment in advance on or before the first
day of each  and  every  calendar  month  during  the  Term,  and pay the  first
installment  on or before the day of  commencement  of the Initial  Term. If the
Initial  Term  commences  on a day other than the first,  or ends on a day other
than the last day of a month,  the Basic Rent for the  fraction of a month shall
be calculated at a rate per day equal to 1/365th of the annual Basic Rent.

3.02 Basis of  Determining  Basic Rent. The annual Basic Rent set out in Section
3.01(a) is calculated  on the basis of the Rentable Area of the Leased  Premises
being approximately the number of square feet set out in Section 1.01 (d) at the
rates for each  square  foot of Rentable  Area set out in Section  1.01(g).  The
annual Basic Rent shall be adjusted in the event that the  Rentable  Area of the
Leased  Premises  is found to be  different  than the  Rentable  Area  stated in
Section 1.01 (d) above.

3.03  Post-dated  Cheques.  If requested by the Landlord from time to time,  the
Tenant will  provide to the  Landlord,  without  prejudice to any other right or
remedy of the Landlord,  a series of cheques,  post-dated to the  respective due
dates of  payments,  for the  amounts of Basic Rent,  Operating  Costs and Taxes
fixed by the Landlord which are periodically payable under the Lease.

3.04  Waiver of Offset.  The Tenant  hereby  waives  and  renounces  any and all
existing and future claims, offsets and compensation against any rent and agrees
to pay rent, without deduction,  regardless of any claim, offset or compensation
which may be asserted by the Tenant or on its behalf.

                               TENANT'S COVENANTS

4.00 Tenant Covenants. The Tenant covenants with the Landlord as follows:

4.01 Rent. To pay rent on the days and in the manner provided.

4.02 Tenant's Taxes. To pay when due all business taxes,  license fees and other
taxes and charges  levied or assessed in respect of the use or  occupancy of the
Leased  Premises  by the  Tenant or in respect of the  equipment,  machinery  or
fixtures, partitions and improvements brought therein by the Tenant or on behalf

Tenant  or the  Landlord  by any  level  of  government  with  respect  to rent,
additional rent or any other amounts payable by the Tenant to the Landlord under
this Lease,  it being the  intention of the parties  that the Landlord  shall be
fully  reimbursed  by the Tenant with respect to any and all Sales Taxes payable
or collectable by the Landlord. The amount of such Sales Taxes so payable by the
Tenant shall be calculated in accordance  with the  applicable  legislation  and
shall be paid to the  Landlord  at the same time as the  amounts  to which  such
Sales Taxes apply are payable to the  Landlord  under the terms of this Lease or
earlier if required by the  applicable  legislation.  Notwithstanding  any other
provision in this Lease to the  contrary,  the Sales Taxes payable by the Tenant
under this paragraph shall be deemed not to be rent or additional  rent, but the
Landlord  shall have all remedies for and rights of recovery of such Sales Taxes
as it has for recovery of rent under this Lease.

4.04  Utilities.  To pay (without  duplication of any payment made on account of
Operating  Costs) all rates and charges  for all  Utilities  and other  services
supplied to or used on the Leased  Premises or  reasonably  attributable  to the
Tenant or the Tenant's  occupation of the Leased  Premises and if such rates and
charges shall be billed or assessed  against the Landlord,  the Tenant shall pay
such rates and charges to the Landlord upon demand by the Landlord.

4.05 Taxes. To pay as additional rent to the Landlord the Tenant's Proportionate
Share of any Taxes  within 10 days of receipt of notice  from the  Landlord.  If
Taxes are not imposed  separately on the portion of the Building  designated for
warehouse  use  and  the  portion  designated  for  office  use  by  the  taxing
authorities,  the Landlord, acting reasonably, shall allocate Taxes for the Land
and Building to the portion of the Building designated for warehouse use and the
portion of the Building  designated  for office use and the Tenant shall pay its
Proportionate  Share of such allocated amounts depending upon whether the Leased
Premises are designated for office or warehouse use.  Provided  however that the
Landlord  may estimate in advance at the  beginning  of each and any  Accounting
Year  of the  Term  or  portion  thereof,  the  annual  amount  of the  Tenant's
Proportionate  Share of Taxes and  request  that the  Tenant  pay and the Tenant
shall pay as  additional  rent 1/12th of such  estimated  sum monthly in advance
concurrently  with the  payments  of Basic  Rent  pursuant  to Article 3 of this
Lease. As soon as the actual amount of the Taxes for the Accounting Year becomes
known to the Landlord and if the said amount  exceeds or is less than the amount
estimated by the Landlord by 10% or more,  the Landlord  shall inform the Tenant
and the parties shall make all necessary corrective adjustments immediately.  If
the  difference  between the actual amount and the estimated  amount of Taxes is
less than 10%,  the  Tenant's  Proportionate  Share of Taxes  shall be  adjusted
according to Section 4.09.

4.06  Increased  Taxes.  If any  Taxes  shall  be  increased  by  reason  of any
installation  made in or upon or any alteration or improvement made in or to the
Leased  Premises by the Tenant or by the  Landlord on behalf of the Tenant,  the
Tenant shall pay the amount of any such increase as additional rent.

4.07  Reduction of Taxes.  Any expense  incurred by the Landlord in obtaining or
attempting  to  obtain a  reduction  in the  amount of tax shall be added to and
included in the amount of such Taxes.  If the Tenant has paid its  Proportionate
Share of Taxes and the Landlord has thereafter  received a refund of any portion
of such Taxes, the Landlord shall make an appropriate refund to the Tenant.

4.08 Other Costs. To pay as additional rent to the Landlord:

     a)   its Proportionate Share of Operating Costs, by monthly installments to
          be fixed by the Landlord from time to time; and

     b)   the Costs of Additional Services (if any) upon demand by the Landlord.

The Landlord,  acting  reasonably,  shall allocate  Operating Costs to Operating
Costs for premises  designated  for  warehouse  use and to  Operating  Costs for
premises  designated for office use, and the Tenant shall pay its  Proportionate
Share of such costs  depending  upon whether the Leased  Premises are designated
for office or warehouse use.

If the Tenant's business hours are substantially longer than the Normal Business
Hours, the Tenant's  Proportionate Share of Operating Costs shall be adjusted to
reflect  the  additional  services,  supplies  and  maintenance  required  as  a
consequence of the longer business hours.

Wherever,  in the Landlord's reasonable opinion, any cost or expense included in
Operating  Costs properly  relates only to a tenant or a group of tenants of the
Building,  the Landlord may charge such cost or expense  directly to such tenant
or group of tenants.  Any cost or expense  charged by the Landlord to the Tenant
under this section shall be payable by the Tenant upon demand by the Landlord.

4.09 Adjustments.  At the end of each Accounting Year the Landlord shall compute
the  amount  of  Operating  Costs and  Taxes  for such  Accounting  Year and the
Tenant's  Proportionate Share thereof and the aggregate of monthly payments made
by the Tenant  during the  accounting  year  pursuant to Sections  4.05 and 4.08
shall be adjusted by the Landlord on the basis of the total amount actually paid
or payable by the Tenant for such  Accounting Year for Operating Costs and Taxes
with any excess or deficiency being payable  respectively by the Landlord or the
Tenant within 60 days after the end of such Accounting Year notwithstanding that
this may fall after the end of the Term of this Lease.

4.10 Sales Tax  Exclusion.  There shall be excluded from amounts  payable by the
Tenant under this Lease (and shown  separately  on  statements)  all Sales Taxes
with respect to the purchase of any goods and services,  the cost of which goods
and services are included in amounts  payable by the Tenant under this Lease, to
the extent  that the amount of such Sales  Taxes is or will be  available  to be
claimed by the Landlord as a credit or refund in determining  the Landlord's net
tax liability on account of Sales Taxes.

the Landlord as rent for each of the Allowed Number of Vehicles on the first day

          which the Tenant is obligated to repair  hereunder,  any  abatement of
          rent to which the Tenant is  otherwise  entitled  hereunder  shall not

complete at any time:

     a) any  alterations or improvements of the Building that, in the Landlord's
     opinion,  are  necessary  for,  or  useful  to,  the  safety,   efficiency,
     modernization, comfort or decor of the Building, including, but not limited
     to, elevators,  plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems, of all or some
     of the leased premises (including,  or not including,  the Leased Premises)
     and/or  vacant  premises for the purpose of making them suitable for lease.
     For  the  purpose  of the  design  and  construction  of  these  works  and
     improvements,  the Landlord or its  contractors  may, if  necessary,  enter
     into,  pass through,  and work upon the Leased  Premises,  and may improve,
     remodel,  alter (including changing the location of entrance doors) and add
     to the Leased Premises, putting the Tenant to no unnecessary inconvenience;
     and

     b) the installation  and maintenance  within the Leased Premises of utility
     lines,  pipes,  ducts, vents and conduits to be located above the suspended
     ceilings  of the Leased  Premises  and/or to run in the  interior of framed
     walls, to serve the Leased Premises or other premises.

By  exercising  any such  rights,  the  Landlord  shall  not be  deemed  to have
constructively evicted the Tenant or otherwise to be in breach of this Lease nor
shall  the  Tenant,  provided  the  Landlord  does  not  put the  Tenant  to any
unnecessary  inconvenience,  be  entitled  to any  abatement  of rent  or  other
compensation  from  the  Landlord.   Without  limiting  the  generality  of  the
foregoing,   the  Landlord,  in  the  case  of  any  works,   improvements,   or
installations  within the Leased  Premises  (other  than for  emergency  repair)
shall:

     1)   give the Tenant  reasonable  notice  inclusive of a description of the
          work, improvement, or installation to be carried out;

     2)   work after Normal Business Hours whenever reasonably required;

     3)   finish  any  work,   improvement,   or  installation  in  a  good  and
          workmanlike manner; and

     4)   leave the  affected  areas of the  Leased  Premises  clean and in good
          order.

6.05 Relocation of Leased Premises. The Landlord reserves the right at any time,
upon giving the Tenant  written  notice at least 30 days in advance,  to provide
the  Tenant  with  other  premises  (the  "New  Premises")  in the  Building  in
substitution  of the  Leased  Premises  (whether  or not any part of the  Leased
Premises form part of the New Premises). The New Premises:

          a)   shall  contain  at least  the same  Rentable  Area of the  Leased
               Premises,

          b)   shall  have a  configuration  reasonably  similar  to that of the
               Leased Premises, and

          c)   shall be  improved to  equivalent  or better  standards  than the
               Leased Premises.

The Tenant  agrees to move to the New Premises and the Landlord will pay for any
reasonable  cost of moving the Tenant's  property and equipment  from the Leased
Premises  to the  New  Premises.  As full  compensation  for  all  other  costs,
expenses,  damages  (including  disruption  and loss of  business),  nuisance or
discomfort which the Tenant may incur or suffer, Basic Rent for the New Premises
for the first two months of occupancy will abate.

Upon  relocation,  the Tenant will surrender the Leased Premises to the Landlord
in the  condition  required  by this  Lease and this  Lease will be deemed to be
amended as follows:

          a)   by the  substitution for the current Schedule "A" of another plan
               prepared by the Landlord and marked  Schedule "A" which shows the
               New Premises,

          b)   by the  substitution  in Section  1.01(d) of the Rentable Area of
               the Leased  Premises  with the Rentable Area of the New Premises,
               and

          c)   by the  substitution  in Section 1.01(g) of the rate or rates per
               square  foot per annum with new  rate(s)  determined  in a manner
               that,  notwithstanding  any possible greater Rentable Area of the
               New  Premises,  the annual and monthly  Basic Rents shown in such
               section will not change.

All references in this Lease to the Leased  Premises shall be deemed to refer to
the New Premises.

If required by the Landlord the Tenant  shall  execute an agreement  prepared by
the Landlord providing for the above described amendments.

This Lease, as amended,  will continue in force and effect as a lease of the New
Premises for the balance of the Term.

bringing  telephone  services to the Leased  Premises and shall provide water to
washrooms available for the Tenant's use in common with others entitled thereto.

7.02 Electricity.  The Landlord,  acting reasonably,  shall allocate the cost of
light and power supplied to the Building and the cost of cleaning,  maintaining,
replacing  and  servicing in all respects  all  electric  lighting  fixtures and
facilities in the Building to:

     (a)  Electrical  power  consumption  costs  for  premises   designated  for
          warehouse use;

     (b)  Electrical servicing costs for premises designated for warehouse use;

     (c)  Electrical power consumption costs for premises  designated for office
          use;

     (d)  Electrical servicing costs for premises designated for office use;

                                       18


<PAGE>


     (e)  Electrical power consumption costs and electrical  servicing costs for
          Common Areas  allocated to the portion of the Building  designated for
          warehouse use; and

     (f)  Electrical power consumption costs and electrical  servicing costs for
          Common Areas  allocated to the portion of the Building  designated for
          office use.

If some but not all of the leased and leaseable premises are separately metered,
or not  occupied,  so that there is a reduction  in the  electrical  consumption
costs or  electrical  servicing  costs,  the amount of such  reduction  shall be
allocated  to  the  Landlord  with  the  intent  that  the  Tenant  would  be in
substantially  the same  position  as if there were no  separate  meters and the
Building was fully occupied. Wherever, in the Landlord's reasonable opinion, any
cost or expense  included in electrical  power  consumption  costs or electrical
servicing  costs properly  relates only to a tenant or a group of tenants of the
Building,  the Landlord may charge such cost or expense  directly to such tenant
or group of  tenants.  Any cost or expense  so  charged  to the Tenant  shall be
payable by the Tenant upon demand by the Landlord.

Without  duplication,  the  Tenant  shall  pay to the  Landlord  on the date for
payment  established  by the  Landlord,  the  Tenant's  Proportionate  Share  of
electrical power consumption costs and electrical servicing costs for the Common
Areas  allocated to premises  designated for either  warehouse or office use, or
both, depending upon the use designated for the Leased Premises.

If the Leased Premises are not separately  metered,  the Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord on the date for  payment  established  by the  Landlord,  the  Tenant's
Proportionate  Share  of  electrical  power  consumption  costs  and  electrical
servicing costs for premises  designated for either  warehouse or office use, or
both, depending upon the use designated for the Leased Premises.

If the Leased Premises are separately metered by the utility company, the Tenant
shall pay,  on or prior to the due date for  payment,  directly  to the  utility
company any charges metered to the Leased  Premises;  if the Leased Premises are
separately  metered by the  Landlord,  the Tenant  shall pay to the  Landlord as
additional rent on the first day of each month any charges metered to the Leased
Premises and, in either case, the Tenant shall at its own cost, clean, maintain,
replace and service the electrical lighting fixtures in the Leased Premises.

7.03     Additional Services.  The Landlord may, by way of Additional Services:

          a)   in addition to the  janitorial  or  cleaning  services  which are
               normally  supplied  by the  Landlord  to the  tenants  generally,
               provide  any  cleaning  services  to the Leased  Premises  deemed
               necessary  or  appropriate  by the  Landlord  and any  additional
               janitorial or cleaning services required by the Tenant;

          b)   move or  supervise  the moving of  furniture  or equipment of the
               Tenant;

          c)   carry out or supervise  repairs or alterations  conducted  within
               the Leased Premises;

          d)   supervise deliveries to and from the Leased Premises; and

          e)   if requested by the Tenant, supply or supervise the supply to the
               Tenant of any other  service not  normally  furnished  to tenants
               generally.

The cost of  Additional  Services  provided  to the Tenant  shall be paid to the
Landlord  as  additional  rent by the  Tenant  from time to time  promptly  upon
receipt of invoices therefor from the Landlord.

7.04 Alteration.  Where the Landlord is required by law or a competent authority
to make alterations to the Leased Premises,  then in each year of the Term after
completion of such  alterations  (but not after the cost thereof has been repaid
to the  Landlord),  the Tenant  shall pay to the Landlord 10% of the cost to the
Landlord of making  such  alterations,  and if the  Landlord is required to make
similar  alterations  to other  portions or areas of the Building the cost of so
doing shall be reasonably apportioned by the Landlord to each of the premises.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                      LICENSES, ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBLETTING

8.01 Licenses, Etc. The Tenant shall not suffer or permit any part of the Leased
Premises  to be used or  occupied  by any  persons  other than the  Tenant,  any
subtenants  permitted under Section 8.02 and the employees of the Tenant and any
such permitted subtenant, or suffer or permit any part of the Leased Premises to
be used or occupied by any licensee or  concessionaire,  or suffer or permit any
persons to be upon the Leased  Premises  other than the Tenant,  such  permitted
subtenants and their  respective  employees,  customers and others having lawful
business with them.

8.02  Assignments  and  Subletting.  The Tenant  shall not  assign,  mortgage or
otherwise  encumber or transfer this Lease or sublet the Leased  Premises or any
part thereof without having obtained the Landlord's prior written  consent.  The
Landlord may withhold its consent  arbitrarily to a proposed  assignment of this
Lease or  sublease of the Leased  Premises  or any part  thereof if it elects to
exercise its right of termination  hereinafter  set forth.  If such  termination
right is not  exercised,  the  Landlord  covenants  not to withhold  its consent
unreasonably  as to any assignee or sublessee who is in  satisfactory  financial
condition,  agrees to use the Leased Premises for the purposes and in the manner
permitted  and  specified  hereunder,  and  is  otherwise  satisfactory  to  the
Landlord. No partial assignment shall be permitted.

The Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or any part
thereof unless:

          a)   it shall have  received or procured a bona fide written  offer to
               take an assignment  or sublease  which is not  inconsistent  with
               this  Lease,  and the  acceptance  of which  would not breach any
               provision of this Lease; and

          b)   it shall have first requested and obtained the consent in writing
               of the Landlord thereto.

Any request for consent  shall be in writing and  accompanied  by a true copy of
the offer, all information available to the Tenant and requested by the Landlord
as to the  responsibility,  financial  standing  and  business  of the  proposed
assignee or  subtenant  and payment of such  amount as the  Landlord  reasonably
requires to reimburse it for its time and expense in considering the request for
consent.  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), within 10 days after
the receipt by the Landlord of such  request for consent and of all  information
which the Landlord shall have requested  hereunder,  the Landlord shall have the
right upon written notice of termination submitted to the Tenant, if the request
is to assign this Lease or sublet the Leased  Premises,  to cancel and terminate
this Lease as of a

                                       19


<PAGE>


termination  date to be stipulated in the notice of  termination  which shall be
not less than 60 days or more than 90 days  following the giving of such notice.
In such event the Tenant shall  surrender the Leased Premises in accordance with
such notice of termination and rent and additional rent shall be apportioned and
paid to the date of surrender.  If such consent shall be given, the Tenant shall
assign or sublet,  as the case may be,  only upon the terms set out in the offer
submitted to the  Landlord.  No  assignment or subletting of this Lease shall be
effective unless the assignee or sublessee shall execute an assumption agreement
on the Landlord's form, prepared at the expense of the Tenant,  assuming all the
obligations  of the Tenant  hereunder.  The Tenant agrees that any consent to an
assignment  or  subletting  of this Lease or Leased  Premises  shall not thereby
release the Tenant of its obligations hereunder.  The consent by the Landlord to
an assignment or  subletting,  if granted,  shall not constitute a waiver of the
necessity for the Tenant to obtain the prior written  consent of the Landlord to
a subsequent assignment or subletting.

Without limitation, the Tenant shall for the purpose of this Lease be considered
to assign or sublet in any case where it  permits  the  Leased  Premises  or any
portion  thereof to be, or the  Leased  Premises  or any  portion  thereof  are,
occupied by persons other than the Tenant,  its employees and others  engaged in
carrying  on the  business  of  the  Tenant,  whether  pursuant  to  assignment,
subletting, parting with or sharing possession, license or other right, or where
any of the foregoing occurs by operation of law.

8.03 Change in Control of Tenant. If the Tenant is a private  corporation and if
by the sale or other  disposition of its shares or securities the control or the
beneficial  ownership of such corporation is changed at any time during the Term
of this Lease,  such  change  shall be deemed to be an  assignment  of the Lease
within the meaning of Section 8.02.  If such control or beneficial  ownership is
changed without the prior written consent of the Landlord,  the Landlord may, at
its option,  treat such change as an event of default and,  without limiting the
Landlord's  other  remedies,  the Landlord may terminate this Lease upon 60 days
notice to the Tenant.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                            FIXTURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

9.01 Installation of Fixtures and  Improvements.  The Tenant will not install or
alter any  Leasehold  Improvements  or trade  fixtures  in the  Leased  Premises
without the Landlord's prior written approval.  All Leasehold Improvements will,
upon  affixation,  become the  property  of the  Landlord  without  compensation
therefor to the Tenant. In installing or altering any Leasehold  Improvements or
trade  fixtures,  the Tenant shall obtain all  required  building and  occupancy
permits and shall not alter or interfere with any installations  which have been
made by the Landlord  without the prior written  approval of the  Landlord.  The
Tenant's request for any approval  hereunder shall be in writing and accompanied
by an adequate  description of the  contemplated  work and,  where  appropriate,
working  drawings.  All work to be  performed  in the Leased  Premises  shall be
performed by competent contractors and subcontractors of whom the Landlord shall
have approved (such approval not to be unreasonably  withheld, but provided that
the Landlord may require that the Landlord's  contractors and  subcontractors be
engaged for any mechanical or electrical  work).  All such work shall be subject
to inspection by and the reasonable  supervision  of the Landlord,  and shall be
performed in accordance with any reasonable conditions or regulations imposed by
the Landlord and completed in a good and  workmanlike  manner in accordance with
the description of the work approved by the Landlord. Should the Landlord supply
and install any leasehold  improvements for the Tenant at the Tenant's cost, the
Tenant shall repay such costs to the Landlord as additional rent.

9.02 Liens and Encumbrances on Fixtures and Improvements. In connection with the
installation or alteration of Leasehold  Improvements and trade fixtures and all
other work or  installations  made by or for the Tenant in the Leased  Premises,
the Tenant  shall  comply  with all the  provisions  of the  Builders'  Lien Act
(British  Columbia) and other statutes from time to time applicable thereto and,
except as to any hold-back,  shall promptly pay all accounts  relating  thereto.
The Tenant will not create any security  interest,  mortgage,  conditional  sale
agreement or other encumbrance in respect of its Leasehold Improvements or trade
fixtures,  permit  any  such  security  interest,  mortgage,   conditional  sale
agreement or other  encumbrance to attach to the Leased Premises,  or permit any
"notice of security  interest" or other  similar  notice to be filed against the
Land or this Lease. If any builders' or other lien for work, labour, services or
materials  supplied to or for the Tenant or for the cost of which the Tenant may
be in any way  liable or  claims  therefor  shall  arise or be filed or any such
security  interest,  mortgage,  conditional sale agreement or other  encumbrance
shall attach,  or any such notice be filed  against the Land or this Lease,  the
Tenant shall within 20 days after  receipt of notice  thereof  discharge it, and
any  certificates  of action  registered  in respect of any lien,  by payment or
giving  security or in such other manner as may be required or permitted by law.
If the Tenant does not do so, the Landlord may in addition to all other remedies
hereunder  avail  itself  of its  remedy  under  Section  13.01 and may make any
payments  required to procure the  discharge of any such liens or  encumbrances.
The  Landlord  shall be entitled to be  reimbursed  by the Tenant as provided in
Section 13.01, and its right to reimbursement  shall not be affected or impaired
if the Tenant  shall then or  subsequently  establish  or claim that any lien or
encumbrance  so  discharged  was without  merit or  excessive  or subject to any
abatement,  set-off or defence.  This section  shall not prevent the Tenant from
mortgaging or encumbering its chattels, furniture or equipment not of the nature
of fixtures.

9.03  Removal of  Fixtures  and  Improvements.  Except to the  extent  otherwise
expressly agreed by the Landlord in writing,  no Leasehold  Improvements,  trade
fixtures,  furniture or equipment shall be removed by the Tenant from the Leased
Premises  either during or at the  expiration or sooner  termination of the Term
except that (1) the Tenant may at the end of the Term remove its trade fixtures,
(2)  the  Tenant  shall  at the end of the  Term  remove  such of its  Leasehold
Improvements and trade fixtures as the Landlord shall require to be removed, and
(3) the Tenant may remove its  furniture  and  equipment at the end of the Term,
and also during the Term in the usual and normal  course of its  business  where
such  furniture or equipment has become excess for the Tenant's  purposes or the
Tenant is substituting  therefor new furniture and equipment.  The Tenant shall,
in the case of every removal either during or at the end of the Term,  make good
any damage caused to the Leased Premises or the Building by the installation and
removal.

                             INSURANCE AND LIABILITY

10.01 Landlord's Insurance. The Landlord shall take out and keep in force during
the Term insurance with respect to the Building.  The insurance to be maintained
by the  Landlord  shall be in respect of perils and in amounts  and on terms and
conditions  which from time to time are  insurable at a  reasonable  premium and
which are normally insured by reasonably prudent owners of properties similar to
the Building.  The perils to be insured  against by the Landlord  shall include,
without limitation, comprehensive general liability, boilers and machinery, fire
and  extended  perils,  and losses  suffered by the  Landlord in its capacity as
Landlord through business interruption.

10.02 Tenant's Insurance. The Tenant shall take out and keep in force during the
Term:

     (a) comprehensive  general public liability (including bodily injury, death
     and property  damage)  insurance on an occurrence basis with respect to the

<PAGE>


     thereof of not less than $2,000,000.00 per occurrence which insurance shall
     include the Landlord as a named  insured and shall  protect the Landlord in
     respect of claims by the Tenant as if the Landlord were separately insured;

     (b) insurance,  for the full  replacement  cost in respect of fire and such
     other perils,  including sprinkler leakage as are from time to time defined
     in  the  usual  extended  coverage   endorsement   covering  the  Leasehold
     Improvements  and  the  Tenant's  trade  fixtures  and  the  furniture  and
     equipment of the Tenant,  and which insurance shall include the Landlord as
     a named  insured as the  Landlord's  interest  may appear  with  respect to
     insured Leasehold Improvements and provide that any proceeds recoverable in
     the  event  of loss to  Leasehold  Improvements  shall  be  payable  to the
     Landlord,  but the Landlord  agrees to make available such proceeds  toward
     the repair or  replacement of the Leasehold  Improvements  if this Lease is
     not terminated pursuant to any other provision hereof; and

     (c) tenant's fire legal liability  insurance in an amount not less than the
     replacement cost of the Leased Premises.

     All insurance required to be maintained by the Tenant hereunder shall be on
     terms and with insurers to which the Landlord has no reasonable  objection,
     shall  provide  that such  insurers  shall  provide to the Landlord 30 days
     prior written notice of cancellation  or material  alteration of such terms
     and shall waive any right of subrogation against the Landlord. The Landlord
     may require the Tenant to furnish certificates or other evidence acceptable
     to the  Landlord  as to the  insurance  from  time to time  required  to be
     effected by the Tenant and its renewal or continuation in force.

10.03  Limitation of Landlord's  Liability.  The Tenant agrees that the Landlord
shall  not be  liable  for any  bodily  injury or death or loss or damage to any
property belonging to the Tenant or its employees, invitees, or licensees or any
other  person in, on or about the  Building  unless  resulting  from the willful
misconduct  or gross  negligence  of the  Landlord,  but in no event  shall  the
Landlord be liable:

     (a) for any damage  other  than  Insured  Damage  which is caused by steam,
     water, rain or snow which may leak into, issue or flow from any part of the
     Building or from the pipes or plumbing works (including sprinklers, if any)
     thereof or from any other  place or quarter or for any damage  caused by or
     attributable  to the  condition  or  arrangement  of any  electric or other
     wiring or for any damage  caused by  anything  done or omitted by any other
     tenant;

     (b) for any act or omission (including theft, malfeasance or negligence) on
     the part of any  contractor  from time to time  employed  by it to  perform
     janitor services,  security  services,  supervision or any other work in or
     about the Leased Premises of the Building;

     (c) for loss or damage,  however caused, to money,  securities,  negotiable
     instruments, paper or other valuables of the Tenant;

     (d) for any damages for personal  discomfort or illness  resulting from the
     operation  or  non-operation  of  the  Building   ventilating   and/or  air
     conditioning  system or of any other equipment or machinery in the Building
     or on the Land, including but not limited to elevators, or the interruption
     of any public utility;

     (e) for any business interruption or loss; or

     (f) for indirect or consequential damages.

10.04 Limitation of Tenant's  Liability.  The Landlord  releases the Tenant from
all claims or liabilities in respect of any damage which is Insured  Damage,  to
the extent of the cost of repairing  such damage,  but not from injury,  loss or
damage which is consequential thereto or which arises therefrom where the Tenant
is negligent or otherwise at fault.

10.05  Indemnity  of  Landlord.  Except as provided in Section  10.04 the Tenant
agrees to indemnify  and save harmless the Landlord in respect of all claims for
bodily injury or death, property damage or other loss or damage arising from the
conduct of any work by or any act or  omission  of the  Tenant or any  assignee,
subtenant, agent, employee,  contractor,  invitee or licensee of the Tenant, and
in respect of all costs,  expenses and  liabilities  incurred by the Landlord in
connection with or arising out of all such claims, including the expenses of any
action or  proceeding  pertaining  thereto,  and in respect  of any loss,  cost,
expense or damage  suffered or incurred by the Landlord  arising from any breach
by the Tenant of any of its covenants  and  obligations  under this Lease.  This
indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

                                   ARTICLE 11
            SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT, REGISTRATION AND CERTIFICATES

11.00 The Tenant agrees with the Landlord that:

11.01 Sale or Financing of Building. The rights of the Landlord under this Lease
may be  mortgaged,  charged,  transferred  or assigned  to a  purchaser  or to a
mortgagee,  or trustee for bond holders and in the event of a sale or of default
by the  Landlord  under any  mortgage,  trust  deed or trust  indenture  and the
purchaser,  mortgagee  or  trustee,  as the  case  may be,  duly  entering  into
possession of the Building or the Leased  Premises,  the Tenant agrees to attorn
to and become the Tenant of such purchaser, mortgagee or trustee under the terms
of this Lease.

11.02  Subordination  and  Attornment.  This  Lease and all rights of the Tenant
hereunder are subject and subordinate to all mortgages,  debentures, trust deeds
or trust indentures now or hereafter  existing which may now or hereafter affect
the Building and to all renewals,  modifications,  consolidations,  replacements
and  extensions  thereof.  Whenever  requested by any mortgagee  (including  any
trustee  under a  debenture,  trust deed or trust  indenture),  the Tenant shall
attorn to such  mortgagee  as the tenant upon all the terms of this  Lease.  The
Tenant agrees to execute promptly whenever  requested by the Landlord or by such
mortgagee an instrument of subordination  or attornment,  as the case may be, as
may be required of it, provided  however that such mortgagee or their respective
successors or assigns in favour of which such  attornment  has been made,  shall
recognize  this  Lease and the  rights of the  Tenant  hereunder  so long as the
Tenant shall not be in default in the performance of its obligations  under this
Lease.

11.03  Registration.  The Tenant  covenants  and agrees with the Landlord not to
register this Lease,  and that the Landlord is not obliged to deliver this Lease
in registrable form.

                                       21


<PAGE>


11.04  Certificates.  The Tenant  agrees with the Landlord that the Tenant shall
promptly,  whenever  requested  by the Landlord  from time to time,  execute and
deliver to the  Landlord  (and if required  by the  Landlord,  to any  mortgagee
{including  any  trustee  under a trust  deed or trust  indenture}  or  intended
purchaser  designated by the  Landlord) a certificate  in writing as to the then
status of this Lease, including as to whether it is in full force and effect, is
modified or unmodified, confirming the rental payable hereunder and the state of
the accounts between the Landlord and Tenant,  the existence or non-existence of
defaults,  and any  other  matters  pertaining  to this  Lease as to  which  the
Landlord shall request a certificate.

11.05  Assignment by Landlord.  If the Landlord  sells the Building or a portion
thereof  containing the Leased Premises or assigns this Lease or any interest of
the Landlord  hereunder,  then to the extent that such purchaser or assignee has
assumed the covenants and  obligations of the Landlord  hereunder,  the Landlord
shall,  without  further written  agreement,  be freed and relieved of liability
upon such covenants and obligations.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                  UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS AND ACCEPTANCE OF PAYMENTS

12.01 Unavoidable Delay. Except as herein otherwise  expressly provided,  if and
whenever  and to the extent  that  either the  Landlord  or the Tenant  shall be
prevented, delayed or restricted in the fulfilment of any obligations hereunder,
in respect of the supply or provisions of any service or utility,  the making of
any repair,  the doing of any work or any other thing (other than the payment of
rent or other  moneys  due) by reason of  strikes  or work  stoppages,  or being
unable to obtain any  material,  service,  utility or labour  required to fulfil
such obligations or by reason of any statute,  law or regulation or inability to
obtain any permission from any governmental authority having lawful jurisdiction
preventing,  delaying  or  restricting  such  fulfilment,  or by reason of other
unavoidable  occurrence,  the time for  fulfilment of such  obligation  shall be
extended during the period in which such circumstance operates to prevent, delay
or restrict the fulfilment thereof,  and the other party to this Lease shall not
be entitled  to  compensation  for any  inconvenience,  nuisance  or  discomfort
thereby  occasioned;  but  nevertheless  the  Landlord  will use its  reasonable
efforts to maintain  services  essential to the use and  enjoyment of the Leased
Premises.

12.02 No Admission.  The  acceptance of any rent from or the  performance of any
obligation hereunder by a person other than the Tenant shall not be construed as
an admission by the Landlord of any right, title or interest of such person as a
subtenant, assignee, transferee or otherwise in the place of the Tenant.

12.03 Part Payment. The acceptance by the Landlord of a part payment of any sums
required to be paid  hereunder  shall not  constitute a waiver or release of the
right of the Landlord to payment in full of such sums.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                   REMEDIES OF LANDLORD'S AND TENANT'S DEFAULT

13.01 Remedying by Landlord, Non-Payment and Interest. In addition to all rights
and remedies  available to the Landlord in the event of any default hereunder by
the  Tenant  either by any other  provisions  of this Lease or by statute or the
general law the Landlord:

     (a) shall  have the right at all times to remedy or  attempt  to remedy any
     default of the Tenant, and in so doing may make any payments due or alleged
     to be due by the  Tenant to third  parties  and may enter  upon the  Leased
     Premises  to do any work or other  things  therein,  and in such  event the
     Tenant shall pay all expenses of the Landlord in remedying or attempting to
     remedy such default forthwith upon demand;

     (b) shall have the same rights and remedies in the event of any non-payment
     by the Tenant of any amounts  payable by the Tenant under any provisions of
     this Lease as in the case of a non-payment of rent; and

     (c) if the Tenant  shall fail to pay any rent or other  amount from time to
     time payable by it to the Landlord  hereunder  promptly when due,  shall be
     entitled,  if it shall  demand it, to interest  thereon at a rate of 5% per
     annum in excess of the Prime Rate published from time to time.

13.02 Remedies  Cumulative.  The Landlord may from time to time resort to any or
all of the  rights  and  remedies  available  to it in the event of any  default
hereunder by the Tenant,  either by any provision of this Lease or by statute or
the general law, all of which rights and remedies are intended to be  cumulative
and not alternative.

13.03 Right of  Re-entry on Default or  Termination.  If and  whenever  the rent
hereby  reserved or other sums  payable by the Tenant or any part  thereof is in
arrears, whether lawfully demanded or not, and the Tenant fails to pay such rent
or other sums within five business  days after the Landlord  shall have given to
the Tenant notice requiring such payment,  or if the Tenant breaches or fails to
observe and  perform any of the  covenants,  agreements,  provisos,  conditions,
rules or regulations and other obligations on the part of the Tenant to be kept,
observed or performed hereunder,  or if this Lease is terminated pursuant to any
provisions  hereof,  or if the Landlord is entitled to terminate  this Lease and
has given notice  terminating it pursuant to any provision  hereof,  then and in
every such case it shall be lawful for the Landlord thereafter to enter into the
Leased Premises to repossess and enjoy as of its former estate.

13.04  Termination and Entry. If and whenever the Landlord  becomes  entitled to
re-enter  upon the  Leased  Premises  under any  provision  of this  Lease,  the
Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies,  shall have the right to
terminate  this Lease  forthwith by leaving upon the Leased  Premises  notice in
writing of such termination.

13.05 Payment of Rent, Etc., on Termination.  Upon the giving by the Landlord of
a notice in writing  terminating  this  Lease,  whether  pursuant to this or any
other provision of this Lease,  this Lease shall  terminate,  rent and any other
payments  for which the  Tenant is liable  under  this Lease to the date of such
termination,  shall be computed,  apportioned  and paid in full,  and the Tenant
shall immediately  deliver up possession of the Leased Premises to the Landlord,
and the Landlord may re-enter and take  possession of them, all of the foregoing
being without  prejudice to the Landlord's right to claim damages for losing the
benefit of the Lease over its unexpired term.

13.06 Waiver of Distress.  The Tenant  waives and  renounces  the benefit of any
present or future  statute  taking  away or  limiting  the  Landlord's  right of
distress and covenants and agrees that  notwithstanding any such statute none of
the goods and  chattels of the Tenant on the Leased  Premises at any time during
the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for rent in arrears.

13.07  Re-Letting,  Etc. If the Landlord is entitled to re-enter upon the Leased
Premises under any provision of this Lease, then in addition to all other rights
it may have,  the Landlord  shall have the right as agent of the Tenant to enter
the Leased  Premises and re-let them and as agent of the Tenant for such purpose
to make such  alterations and repairs as are necessary and hire such real estate
agents at such commission and on such terms as the Landlord shall determine. The
costs of such alterations and repairs and any commission or inducement  required
to obtain a tenant on behalf of the Tenant  shall be rent  payable by the Tenant
on  demand  by the  Landlord.  The  Landlord  shall  receive  the rent from such
re-letting  as the agent of the Tenant and may take  possession of any furniture
or other  property  thereon and sell the same at public or private  sale without
notice and apply the proceeds  thereof and any rent derived from  re-letting the
Leased  Premises upon account of the rent due and to become due under this Lease
and the Tenant shall be liable to the Landlord for the deficiency, if any.

13.08 Unclaimed Property.  If the Tenant, upon termination or earlier expiration
of this Lease,  leaves the Leased Premises  without removing all of the Tenant's
chattels and trade fixtures,  such chattels and trade fixtures  remaining on the
Leased  Premises  shall be deemed to be abandoned and the Landlord may,  without
notice to the Tenant,  either  remove the same at the cost of the Tenant or take
the same as the Landlord's  property without  compensation to the Tenant. If the
Landlord removes the chattels and trade fixtures at the cost of the Tenant,  the
Landlord  shall  provide  notice to the Tenant at the last known  address of the
Tenant that the Tenant may claim the chattels and trade fixtures upon payment of
the Landlord's  costs of removal and storage provided that the Tenant claims the
same within  three days of the date of the notice.  Three days after the date of
the notice the Landlord  may dispose of the  chattels and trade  fixtures if not
then  claimed by the Tenant.  Unless the  Landlord  has claimed the chattels and
trade fixtures as its property,  the costs of removal,  storage and  disposition
shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord upon demand.  If the Landlord stores
the chattels and trade  fixtures in property of the  Landlord,  the Tenant shall
pay to the  Landlord a storage  fee equal to 5 cents per day per square  foot of
Rentable Area occupied by the chattels and trade fixtures.

                            EVENTS TERMINATING LEASE

14.01  Cancellation  of Insurance.  If any policy of insurance upon the Building
from time to time effected by the Landlord shall be either cancelled or about to
be  cancelled  by the insurer by reason of the use or  occupation  of the Leased
Premises by the Tenant or any  assignee,  subtenant or licensee of the Tenant or
anyone  permitted  by the Tenant to be upon the Leased  Premises  and the Tenant
after  receipt  of  notice  in  writing  from the  Landlord  fails to take  such
immediate steps in respect of such use or occupation as will enable the Landlord
to  reinstate  or avoid  cancellation  of (as the case  may be) such  policy  of
insurance, the Landlord may at its option terminate this Lease.

14.02  Bankruptcy,  Etc. If the Tenant shall make any assignment for the benefit
of  creditors,  become  bankrupt or insolvent or take the benefit of any statute
now or hereafter in force for  bankrupt or insolvent  debtors,  then in any such
case the  Landlord  may at its option  terminate  this Lease and  thereupon,  in
addition to the payment by the Tenant of rent and other  payments  for which the
Tenant is liable  under  this  Lease,  rent for the  current  month and the next
ensuing  three  months'  rent  shall  immediately  become due and be paid by the
Tenant.

14.03  Prohibited  Occupancy,  Etc. In case,  without the written consent of the
Landlord, the Leased Premises shall be used by any persons other than the Tenant
or its  permitted  assigns or  subtenants or for any purpose other than that for
which they were leased, or occupied by any persons whose occupancy is prohibited
by this  Lease,  or if the Leased  Premises  shall be vacated or  abandoned,  or
remain unoccupied for 15 days or more while capable of being occupied, or if the
Term or any of the goods and  chattels of the Tenant shall at any time be seized
in execution or attachment,  or if the Tenant shall make any bulk sale, or (if a
corporation)  shall  take  any  steps  or  suffer  any  order to be made for its
winding-up or other  termination  of its corporate  existence,  then in any such
case the  Landlord  may at its option  terminate  this Lease and  thereupon,  in
addition to the payment by the Tenant of rent and other  payments  for which the
Tenant is liable  under this  Lease (if the  Landlord  has not  elected to claim
damages for losing the benefit of the Lease over its unexpired  term),  rent for
the current  month and the next ensuing  three  months'  rent shall  immediately
become due and be paid by the Tenant.

                                   ARTICLE 15
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

15.01  Notices.  Any notice  required or  contemplated  by any provision of this
Lease  shall be given in  writing,  and if to the  Landlord,  either  mailed  by
prepaid registered mail or delivered to the Landlord at the address specified in
Section 1.01 (a) (ii) or telecopied to the Landlord at the fax number  specified
in such section and if to the Tenant  either  delivered to the Tenant by leaving
it at the Leased Premises or mailed by prepaid  registered mail addressed to the
Tenant at the  Leased  Premises  or  telecopied  to the Tenant at the fax number
specified  in Section  1.01 (b) (ii).  Every such notice shall be deemed to have
been given when delivered or when  telecopied  or, if mailed as aforesaid,  upon
the third day after it was  mailed in Canada,  provided  that,  should  there be
between the time of mailing and receipt of the notice a mail strike, slowdown or
other  labour  dispute  which  might  affect the  delivery of such notice by the
mails,  then such notice  shall only be  effective  if actually  delivered.  The
Landlord  may from time to time by notice in  writing  to the  Tenant  designate
another  address in Canada  and/or  another  fax number as the  address  and fax
number to which  notices are to be mailed,  delivered or  telecopied  to it. The
Tenant  may from time to time by notice in  writing  to the  Landlord  designate
another fax number as the fax number to which  notices are to be  telecopied  to
it.

15.02  Extraneous  Agreements.   The  Tenant  acknowledges  that  there  are  no
covenants,  representations,  warranties,  agreements or conditions expressed or
implied  relating to this Lease or the Leased Premises save as expressly set out
in this Lease and in any  outstanding  agreement to lease in writing between the
Landlord  and the Tenant  pursuant  to which this Lease has been  executed.  All
terms of such  agreement  to lease shall  remain in full force and effect  until
fulfilled,  except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease.
In the event of any  inconsistency  between  the  terms of any such  outstanding
agreement to lease and this Lease,  the terms of this Lease shall prevail.  This
Lease may not be  modified  except by an  agreement  in writing  executed by the
Landlord and the Tenant.

15.03  Severability.  Should  any  part of this  Lease be held  invalid  for any
reason,  such  invalidity  shall not affect the validity of the remainder  which
shall  continue in force and effect and be  construed  as if this Lease had been
executed without the invalid portion.

15.04 Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence of this Lease.

15.05 Area  Determination.  The  Rentable  Area of any premises  (including  the
Leased Premises) or the Building shall be calculated by the Landlord's architect
or surveyor from time to time appointed for the purpose, whose certificate shall
be conclusive.  The Landlord shall allocate the area of the Service Areas to the
Rentable  Area of the  Leased  Premises  and to the other  leased  and  leasable
premises in

                                       23


<PAGE>


the  Building  so as to result in the  Landlord  obtaining  basic rent as if the
whole of the  Building  had been rented to one tenant,  with no  deduction  from
Rentable  Area for recessed  entrances or alcoves,  for columns or  projections,
lobbies or other areas that are Service Areas.

15.06 Successors and Assigns.  This Lease and everything  herein contained shall
enure to the benefit of and be binding  upon the  successors  and assigns of the
Landlord  and  the  heirs,   executors  and  administrators  and  the  permitted
successors and assigns of the Tenant. Reference to the Tenant shall be read with
such changes in gender as may be appropriate,  depending upon whether the Tenant
is a male or female person or a firm or  corporation,  and if the Tenant is more
than one person or entity, the covenants of the Tenant shall be deemed joint and
several.

15.07 Waiver.  No condoning,  excluding or overlooking by the Landlord or Tenant
of any default,  breach or  non-observance  by the Tenant or the Landlord at any
time or times in respect of any covenant,  proviso or condition herein contained
shall operate as a waiver of the Landlord's or the Tenant's rights  hereunder in
respect of any continuing or subsequent default,  breach or non-observance or so
as to  defeat or affect in any way the  rights  of the  Landlord  or the  Tenant
herein in respect of any such continuing or subsequent  default or breach and no
waiver  shall be  inferred  from or implied by  anything  done or omitted by the
Landlord or the Tenant save only express waiver in writing.

15.08 Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Province of British  Columbia.  The Landlord and the Tenant
agree that all of the  provisions of this Lease are to be construed as covenants
and  agreements as though the words  importing such covenants and agreements are
used in each separate section hereof.

15.09 Captions. The captions of the Table of Contents and the captions appearing
in bold letters in this Lease have been inserted as a matter of convenience  and

                                   ARTICLE 16
                             RENEWAL AND ARBITRATION

16.01  Renewal.  The Landlord  covenants  with the Tenant that if the Tenant has
performed  on a timely  basis and is not in  default in the  performance  of the
covenants,  provisos and agreements herein on the part of the Tenant to be paid,
observed and performed,  the Landlord will at the expiration of the Initial Term
(at the cost of the  Tenant  and  upon  its  written  request  delivered  to the
Landlord not later than six months  before the  expiration  of the Initial Term)
grant to the Tenant a renewal lease of the Leased  Premises for the renewal term
set out in Section  1.01(k) (the  "Renewal  Term")  subject to all the terms and
conditions herein contained,  excepting this right of renewal and excepting that
the annual  Basic Rent and the Parking  Rent for the  Renewal  Term shall be the
prevailing annual rent in the open market then being charged for the best use of
similar  premises  and  parking  rights in Burnaby and  excluding  any rent free
periods or signing bonus,  improvement allowance or other inducement payment for
the Initial Term.  The Landlord and the Tenant agree that the Basic Rent for the
Renewal Term shall be  determined  based on the  assumption  that the Tenant has
already received any signing bonus,  improvement allowance,  rent free period or
other inducement  payment that would be commonly  received by the Tenant for the
Lease in the then current  market  circumstances,  although it is understood and
agreed  between  the  Landlord  and  the  Tenant  that no  such  signing  bonus,
improvement  allowance,  rent free period or other inducement  payment under the
Lease shall in fact be payable.  In  calculating  the annual  Basic Rent for the
Renewal  Term the  Landlord  and the Tenant  agree to take into account that the
Leased Premises include any  improvements  which have been or are hereafter made
to the  Leased  Premises  by any  person.  If by the  date 60 days  prior to the
commencement  of the Renewal  Term the Landlord and Tenant have not agreed as to
the amount of such annual Basic Rent and Parking  Rent,  such  amounts  shall be
determined by arbitration  as provided in Section 16.02.  Until the annual Basic
Rent and Parking Rent have been determined as herein provided,  the Tenant shall
continue to pay the Basic Rent and Parking Rent at the rate payable  before such
commencement and upon such  determination the Landlord and the Tenant shall make
the appropriate  readjustments.  In no event shall the annual Basic Rent and the
Parking Rent for the Renewal Term be less than the annual Basic Rent and Parking
Rent for the final  Lease Year of the prior term  calculated  without  rent free
periods or other inducements.

16.02 Arbitration. If the Landlord and the Tenant have failed to agree as to the
annual  Basic Rent for the Leased  Premises  and as to the Parking  Rent payable
with  respect  to any  portion  of the  Initial  Term or any  renewal  term when
required hereunder, the determination of such annual Basic Rent and Parking Rent
shall be  referred to a single  arbitrator  pursuant  to the  Provisions  of the
Commercial  Arbitration Act of British Columbia. In determining the annual Basic
Rent and Parking  Rent,  the  arbitrator  shall assess the annual Basic Rent and
Parking Rent on the assumption that the Tenant has already  received any signing
bonus, improvement allowance,  rent free period or other inducement payment that
would be  commonly  received  by the  Tenant  for the Lease in the then  current
market circumstances,  although it is understood and agreed between the Landlord
and the Tenant that no such  signing  bonus,  improvement  allowance,  rent free
period or other inducement payment under the Lease shall in fact be payable.  In
calculating  the annual  Basic Rent for any portion of the  Initial  Term or any
renewal term,  the arbitrator  shall take into account that the Leased  Premises
include any  improvements  made prior to the date of the arbitration  hearing to
the Leased Premises by any person.  The annual Basic Rent and Parking Rent shall
not be less than the annual Basic Rent and Parking Rent for the final Lease Year
of the  prior  term  calculated  without  reference  to rent free  periods.  The
determination  made by the  arbitrator  shall  be  final  and  binding  upon the
Landlord and the Tenant, and their respective successors and assigns. Each party
shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator. The provisions of
this Section shall be determined  to be a submission to  arbitration  within the
provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Act, as amended from time to time.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF the Landlord and Tenant have  executed  this Lease as of the
date first above written.

1.   Refuse.

     (a) All trash,  rubbish,  waste material and other garbage shall be kept in
     proper receptacles within the Leased Premises until removal.

     (b) In the event the Landlord considers necessary, or otherwise consents to
     in  writing,  the  placing  of the  Tenant's  garbage  outside  the  Leased
     Premises, such garbage shall be placed by the Tenant in containers approved
     by the Landlord but provided at the Tenant's expense and kept at a location
     designated by the Landlord.

     iron work.  The Tenant shall bear the expense of any breakage,  stoppage or
     damage caused by the Tenant or his servants, agents or employees.

     (b) The doors,  sashes,  windows,  glass doors,  lights and skylights  that

     (c) The Tenant  shall not hang or suspend from any wall or ceiling or roof,
     or any other part of the Leased  Premises or the Building,  any  equipment,
     fixtures, signs or displays which are not first authorized by the Landlord.

     (d) The  Tenant  will use only  the  Building  standard  window  blinds  as
     determined  by the  Landlord and will not install or permit to be installed
     on or  adjacent  to the  windows in the leased  Premises  any other  window
     covering or shades of any type  whatsoever  whether or not visible from the

     blinds or shades.

     (e) The Tenant shall not use in the Leased Premises any machinery which may

     weight might injure the floors or walls of the Building.

     (f) The Landlord shall prescribe the maximum  weight,  size and position of
     any safes or pieces of heavy  equipment  used in the  Building.  All damage
     done to the Building by putting in or taking out, or  maintaining  safes or

     an  exception  to this  rule in the case of a Tenant  who  wishes to move a
     single piece of furniture, equipment or fixture, and may establish the date
     and time of delivery or pickup.  The Tenant must request permission to move
     furniture,  equipment  or  fixture  in or out of the  Leased  Premises  two
     business  days prior to the move and the  Landlord  will,  at the  Tenant's
     cost, install elevator  protections,  make the necessary  arrangements with
     the electronic security monitoring station and retain a security guard.

     (h) When a Tenant wishes to move any furniture, equipment or fixtures to or
     from their premises, it shall give the Landlord two days notice, specifying
     the desired  delivery or pickup time and the quantity of items to be moved.
     The Landlord will arrange for elevator pads, electronic security bypass and
     a security  guard to attend the move, all at the Tenant's cost. If the move
     is at the end of the term or if the  Tenant  is in  arrears  of  rent,  the
     Landlord may require the  prepayment by the Tenant of the estimated  amount
     of the above described costs.

3.   Electrical Equipment.

     a) Electric  wiring of every kind shall be introduced and connected only as
     directed  by the  Landlord,  and no boring  or  cutting  for wires  will be
     allowed  except  with the  consent of the  Landlord.  The  location  of the
     telephones, call boxes, etc., shall be prescribed by the Landlord.

     b) If the Tenant requires any electrical equipment which might overload the
     electrical  facilities in the Leased  Premises,  the Tenant shall submit to
     the Landlord  plans and  specifications  for works  required to install and
     supply  additional  electrical  facilities  or  equipment  to prevent  such
     overloading,  and shall obtain the Landlord's  written  approval to perform
     such works, which shall meet all the applicable regulations or requirements
     of  any  government  or  other  competent  authority,  the  Association  of
     Insurance  Underwriters and the Landlord's  insurers,  all at the sole cost
     and expense of the Tenant.

4.   Plumbing.  No plumbing  facilities shall be used for any purpose other than
     that for which they were  designed,  and no foreign  substance  of any kind
     shall be thrown  therein,  and the  expense of any  breakage,  stoppage  or
     damage resulting from a violation of this provision by the Tenant or by any
     persons for whom the Tenant is responsible shall be borne by the Tenant. No
     garburators  shall be  installed  by the Tenant  without the prior  written
     approval of the Landlord.

5.   Utilities.

     a) The Tenant  shall not leave open any doors or windows to the exterior of
     the Building which would  adversely  affect the performance of any heating,
     ventilating or air-conditioning equipment in the Building.

     b) Waste and excessive or unusual use of water or electricity  shall not be
     allowed.

6.   Signs, Advertising, Display Window.

     a) The Tenant  shall not erect or install  any  exterior  signs or interior
     window or door signs or  advertising  media or window or door  lettering or
     placards without the prior written consent of Landlord.

                                       26


<PAGE>


     b) The Tenant shall not use any  advertising  media that the Landlord shall
     deem objectionable to it or to other tenants, such as, without limiting the
     generality of the foregoing, loudspeakers, phonographs, televisions, public

     the Building in a manner  capable of being heard or seen outside the Leased
     Premises.

     c) The Tenant shall not install any exterior lighting, exterior decorations
     or build any  aerial or mast or make any  change to the store  front of the
     Leased Premises, without the prior written consent of the Landlord.

     with any other windows,  store fronts and lighted signs in, upon or affixed
     to the Leased  Premises,  illuminated  during such hours as required by the

7.   Common  Areas.  Neither the Tenant nor the  Tenant's  employees  and agents
     shall solicit  business in the Common Areas nor distribute any handbills or
     other advertising matter. The tenants, their employees, servants, agents or
     patrons shall not loiter in the Common Areas.

8.   Notice of Accident,  Defects. The Tenant shall give immediate notice to the
     Landlord in case of fire or  accident in the Leased  Premises or of defects
     therein or to any fixtures or equipment thereon.

9.   Emergency  Contacts.  The Tenant shall provide the Landlord with the names,
     addresses and telephone  numbers of two authorized  employees of the Tenant
     who may be contacted by the Landlord in the event of an emergency  relative
     to the Leased Premises.

10.  Permits,  Licenses.  The Tenant alone shall be  responsible  for obtaining,
     from the appropriate governmental authority or other regulatory body having
     jurisdiction,  whatever permits,  licenses or approvals as may be necessary
     for the operation of its business.

11.  Tenant's  Work.  Any work to be  performed  in the Leased  Premises  by the
     Tenant or its contractors shall be first approved and then made strictly in
     accordance with the rules and regulations of the Landlord from time to time
     in respect of work by the tenants within the Building.

12.  Keys,  Locks,  Security  Cards.  If the Tenant  requires a new lock for any
     entrance  door or interior door of the Leased  Premises,  new keys for said
     door(s) or new or replacement  electronic  entry cards to the Building,  it
     shall require such new or replacement locks, keys or electronic entry cards
     from the  Landlord.  The  Landlord  will  immediately  process the Tenant's
     request at the Tenant's cost through the  Landlord's  locksmith or security
     contractor.  The Tenant  shall not change any locks in the Leased  Premises
     nor have the locks in the Leased  Premises  changed by anybody  (except the
     Landlord) without the Landlord's  written consent.  Any locks found to have
     been  changed  without  said  consent will be rekeyed at the expense of the
     Tenant.

13.  Animals. Tenants shall not keep or permit to be kept in the Leased Premises
     any cats,  dogs (except  guide dogs for the visually or hearing  impaired),
     birds or other pets or any aquariums or fish tanks.

14.  Further Rules And  Regulations.  For the general benefit and welfare of the
     Building and the tenants  therein,  the  Landlord may amend and  supplement
     these  rules and  regulations  and the same shall be binding on the Tenant.
     The  rules  and  regulations,  as  from  time  to  time  amended,  are  not
     necessarily of uniform  application,  but may be waived in whole or in part
     in respect of other tenants without  affecting either  enforceability  with
     respect to the Tenant and the Leased  Premises,  and may be waived in whole
     or in part with respect to the Leased  Premises  without waiving them as to
     future application to the Leased Premises, and the imposition of such Rules
     and Regulations shall not create or imply any obligation of the Landlord to
     enforce   them  or  create  any   liability   of  the  Landlord  for  their
     non-enforcement.

In the event  the  Tenant is in  violation  of any of the Rules and  Regulations
herein  contained,  the Landlord  may, in its sole  discretion  and after giving
reasonable notice to the Tenant to cease and desist from said violation, levy an
administrative  surcharge on the Tenant, which administrative surcharge shall be
due and payable by the Tenant upon  receipt and  collectible  by the Landlord as
rent.
