(the “Employment Agreement”) whereby the Executive agreed to act as Chief
Financial Officer of the Company subject to the terms and conditions set out in
the Employment Agreement;

B.      Section 7 of

directors of the Company;

C.      As at April

director of the Company, and that the remaining directors will appoint Tintor,

Directors”) to fill the vacancies on the Company’s board of directors.

THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES that in consideration of the
payment by the Company to the Executive of consideration in the amount of

parties, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1.      The Executive
agrees to waive the right to terminate the Employment Agreement for Good Reason
pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Employment Agreement, or to terminate the
Employment Agreement following a Change in Control pursuant to Section 7(g) of

this Agreement and that, in the event that he did not avail himself of that
opportunity prior to signing this Agreement, he did so voluntarily without any
undue pressure and agrees that his failure to obtain independent legal advice
shall not be used by him as a defence to the enforcement of his obligations
under this Agreement.
