                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of January 1, 2000 (the
"Effective Date") by and BETWEEN: BLUE ZONE ENTERTAINMENT INC. a company
incorporated under the laws of Canada (the "Company") and Jamie Ollivier (the
"Executive").

INTRODUCTION

                  The Company has proposed an arrangement whereunder the
Executive will be retained by the Company as an executive employee. The
Executive has acceded to this proposal. This Agreement sets forth the terms and
conditions of that arrangement.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

                  1.0      RETENTION OF  JAMIE OLLIVIER

1.1 The Company hereby employs the Executive to act on its behalf in an
executive and managerial capacity and to participate in the supervision and
direction of the operations of the Company as they are now or may hereafter be
constituted and as directed by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board")
and the Chairman of the Board (the "Chairman"). The Executive shall initially
have the title of President. The Executive shall have the responsibility for
supervising the business affairs and operations of the Company and its various
subsidiaries throughout the world. As and when required, the Executive shall
share responsibility for stockholder relations and fundraising. The Executive
shall have all functional responsibilities necessary to enable him or her to
discharge his or her duties hereunder and to conduct the Company's business
throughout the world. The executive shall have such other responsibilities as
the Board and the Chairman shall from time to time assign to him or her, but the
duties which he or she shall be called upon to render hereunder shall not be of
a nature substantially inconsistent with those customarily performed by
individuals holding principal executive offices in similar business
organizations. The Executive shall report and be responsible to the Board and
the Chairman.

1.2 Each year during which this Agreement is in effect, the Company shall cause
the Executive to be nominated for election to the Board. During the term of this
Agreement, the Executive shall also serve as a member of the Executive Committee
to be appointed by the Board, at least two members of which shall consist of the
Chairman and the Executive. The Executive Committee shall be given authority by
the Board to make decisions respecting the operations of the Company, subject to
the approval of the Board. All decisions of the Executive Committee shall be
made by a majority vote of its members.

                  2.0      PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES

2.1 The Executive hereby accepts employment by the Company and agrees to serve
the Company faithfully and to the best of his or her ability and to devote the
time, attention and efforts necessary to advance the business and affairs of the
Company during the Term of this Agreement except for reasonable time spent for
service on the boards of directors of other corporations, vacations and civic
and charitable activities. It is understood and agreed that the Executive may
pursue personal investments requiring time commitments that do not conflict with
his obligations to the Company, including those in the preceding sentence. The
Executive hereby confirms that he is under no contractual commitments
inconsistent with his obligations set forth in this Agreement, and that during
the Term of this Agreement, he shall not render or perform services, or enter
into any contract to do so, for any other corporation, firm, entity or person
which are inconsistent with his or her duties to the Company.

2.2 All duties performed by the Executive under the terms of this Agreement
(other than incidental duties) shall be performed at such locations both inside
or outside Canada as the Board of the Directors of the Company may from time to
time direct.

                  3.0      DIRECT COMPENSATION

3.1 The Company shall pay to the Executive in each 365 day period within the
term of this Agreement a base salary of not less than US$120,000.00 ("Base
Salary"), which shall be payable in accordance with the Company's regularly
established pay schedule applicable to corporate officers of the Company. The
Executive's Base Salary shall be reviewed at the end of each 365 day period
within the term
<PAGE>   3
of this Agreement and may be increased by an amount to be determined by the
Compensation Committee on the basis of the Executive's performance.

3.2 The Executive shall be entitled to an annual bonus based upon performance
("Incentive Compensation") which shall be determined under a plan to be prepared
by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the Executive and approved by
the Compensation Committee (the "Statement of Objectives"), and which shall be
paid to the Executive in accordance with the following procedures:

3.2.1 The Statement of Objectives shall consist of an outline of the Executive's
performance goals for the fiscal year under consideration. Each performance goal
set forth in the Statement of Objectives shall be measurable and the Statement
of Objectives shall set forth the basis for measurement of the achievement as
well as the over-achievement of each goal. A dollar value shall be assigned to
each performance goal set forth in the Statement of Objectives. Wherever there
can be variations in the degree of the achievement or over-achievement of a
goal, the range of percentage participation in the dollar value of the goal
relating to the varying levels of achievement shall be clearly stated.

3.2.2 The aggregate dollar value assigned to the achievement (but not the
over-achievement) of the performance goals set forth in the Statement of
Objectives shall equal 50 percent of the Executive's Base Salary for the year
with respect to which the bonus shall be paid. Additional dollar values which
equal in the aggregate an additional 100 percent of the Executive's Base Salary
for the year with respect to which the Incentive Compensation will be paid shall
be assigned to the over-achievemen of the performance goals set forth in the
Statement of Objectives, so that the maximum potential Incentive Compensation to
be awarded to the Executive for any year may equal 150 percent of his or her
Base Salary for that year.

3.2.3 Immediately upon receipt of the Statement of Objectives from the
Executive, the Compensation Committee shall review it and shall either approve
it as submitted or shall modify any or all of the performance goals, and/or the
dollar values assigned to the achievement and to the over-achievement of the
goal or goals in question, and/or the range of percentage participation in the
dollar value of any or all of the goals relating to varying levels of
achievement; provided, that any such modification by the Compensation Committee
shall in no event reduce the aggregate dollar values assigned to the achievement
and over-achievement of the performance goals below the levels specified in
Section 3.2.3.

3.2.4 Payment of the Incentive Compensation shall be based upon the achievement
of the performance goals at the end of the fiscal year in question. The
Incentive Compensation payable to the Executive for each fiscal year shall equal
the aggregate of the dollar values assigned to the relevant levels of
achievement or over-achievement attained by the Executive with respect to each
performance goal set forth in the Statement of Objectives for that year. If the
relevant level of achievement or ove achievement of any goal falls within a
range of participation assigned to that goal, the dollar amount of the bonus
award for the achievement or over-achievement of that goal shall be
proportionate to the level of achievement or over-achievement reached within
that designated range.

3.2.5 The Incentive Compensation shall be paid to the Executive no later than
120 days following the end of the fiscal year with respect to which it is being
paid. In the event that the Executive dies or his or her employment hereunder
terminates for any other reason after the end of any fiscal year but before the
payment of the Incentive Compensation due with respect to that year, the
Incentive Compensation shall be paid to the Executive's estate.

                  4.0 ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

4.1 During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to
participate in all present and future employee benefit plans, maternity benefit
plans, deferred compensation plans and all other compensation and benefit plans,
programs and structures as may from time to time be made available by the
Company to all other key corporate executives of the Company, and on terms and
conditions no less favorable than those generally available to other such
employees. The Executive shall also be entitled to the highest number of
vacation days with full pay during each twelve months in which this Agreement is
in effect as are available to any other key Canadian corporate executive of the
Company, without any reduction based upon length of service to the Company. In
addition, during the term of this Agreement the Executive shall be entitled to
the club and professional society membership dues and monthly charges,
reimbursement for the costs of financial, tax and estate planning and an
automobile allowance. In the event that the Company elects to obtain key person
life insurance insuring the Executive, the Executive shall make him/herself
available for the necessary physical examinations and shall cooperate in all
other respects with the Company's efforts to obtain such insurance. The
Executive hereby represents that he does not know of any condition, which would
cause him to be uninsurable.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   4


4.2 In addition to the compensation provided in the previous paragraphs the
Company will reimburse the Executive for reasonable expenses which he may incur
in the course of the performance of his duties for the Company, and he will
furnish documentation thereof in accordance with the Company's practices
regarding the same. This obligation of the Company shall include but not be
limited to travel, meals and lodging expenses incurred by the Executive's spouse
in accompanying the Executive on any business trip on behalf of the Company,
which exceeds fifteen (15) days in duration. This obligation of the Company
shall also include but not be limited to travel, meals and lodging expenses
incurred by the Executive's nanny/babysitter in accompanying the Executive on
any business trip on behalf of the Company, for business trips of any duration,
whenever the Executive travels with pre-school child(ren) without his or her
spouse. The Company will similarly reimburse the Executive for home-based
nanny/babysitter expenses for pre-school child(ren) incurred while the Executive
is on Company business.

4.3 The Executive shall be entitled to participate in a stock option plan or
share purchase plan or any similar plan as may be offered by the Company at its
sole discretion from time to time. The introduction and administration of any
such plan is entirely at the Company's sole discretion, and the introduction,
deletion or amendment of such plan shall not constitute a breach of this
Agreement.

4.4 If for any reason any amounts paid to the Executive pursuant to Sections 4.1
through 4.3 above are required to be included in the Executive's income for
purposes of determining federal or provincial income taxes payable by him/her,
the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount which after taking into account
all taxes required to be paid by the Executive as a result of the Executive's
receipt of such payment from the Company, shall cause the Executive's after-tax
return on the payments made pursuant to Sections 4.1 through 4.3 above to equal
the amount which would have been available to the Executive had no federal or
provincial income taxes been due thereon. The amount required to be paid by the
Company pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be determined by the Executive's tax
return preparer, shall take into account all applicable deductions or credits,
and shall be paid to the Executive no later than 15 days following the date on
which the Executive files the income tax return in which any payments made
pursuant to Sections 4.1 through 4.3 are included in the Executive's income or
within fifteen days following the date on which the relevant taxing authority
makes a determination that any payments made pursuant to Sections 4.1 through
4.3 are required to be included in the Executive's income, as the case may be.

                  5.0 DURATION OF AGREEMENT

5.1 The term of this Agreement shall be from the date hereof until such time as
it is terminated pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement, or up to and
including the first to occur of the following:

5.1.1 the date upon which the Executive commits a "prohibited act" (as
hereinafter defined);

5.1.2 the date upon which the Executive has been determined to have a "permanent
disability" (in the manner set forth in Section 5.1.5 hereof); or

5.1.3 the date of the Executive's death. No event other than those specified in
this Section 5.1 shall constitute grounds for the termination of this Agreement
or discharge of the Executive from employment with the Company. Upon the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5, if the Executive is
then serving as a Board member and the term of his or her service as a Board
member does not expire prior to or concurrently with the termination of this
Agreement, the Executive shall submit his or her resignation as a member of the
Board.

5.1.4 For purposes of this Section 5, the term "prohibited act" shall mean the
Executive's commission of any of the following: (a) conviction of a felony or
any other criminal offense which has a material adverse effect on the Company or
the ability of the Executive to carry out his or her duties of employment; (b)
willful commission of acts materially detrimental to the Company's business or
reputation; (c) material breach of any of the Executive's covenants or fiduciary
duties as specified in this Agreement which is not capable of being cured by the
Executive or, if capable of being cured, which is not cured by the Executive
within fifteen days following written notice thereof by the Company; or (d) the
knowing failure of the Executive to follow specific directives of the Board of
Directors of the Company consistent with his or her duties. If the Board of
Directors terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5, the Executive will be
provided seven (7) days written notice. No other acts or omissions by the
Executive shall constitute prohibited acts sufficient to give rise to the
Executive's discharge from employment hereunder. A termination of this Agreement
by reason of the Executive's commission of a prohibited act shall not be
effective unless the Executive has been given a notice of termination for cause
by the Company which sets forth in detail the basis of the findings by the Board
that cause for termination exists under Section 5.1.1 of

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   5
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of termination
shall be given to the Executive unless the Executive has been provided with an
opportunity to appear with counsel and to be heard by the Board on the issue of
whether such cause for termination exists hereunder; provided, that the
Executive's counsel shall not be entitled to be present during any vote by the
board on the question of whether cause for termination of the Executive's
employment exists.

5.1.5 For purposes of this Agreement, the term "permanent disability" shall be
limited to a physical or mental condition, other than pregnancy, which results
in the Executive's absence from his employment duties for a period of ninety
(90) or more consecutive days, in which event the Executive shall be determined
to have a "permanent disability" for purposes of this Agreement upon the
expiration of such 90-day period. Anything in this Section 5.1.5 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the provisions of this Agreement respecting permanent
disability shall be without prejudice to any rights which the Executive may have
under any applicable disability insurance policy or other plan maintained by the
Company for the benefit of its employees.

5.2 The Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, in its sole
discretion, that the termination of this Agreement is in the best interest of
the Company, and in which event Executive shall have no duty to mitigate his or
her damages. If the Board of Directors terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 5.1.5, the Executive will be provided thirty (30) days written notice.

5.3 Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Executive, in
consideration of his employment hereunder to the date of such termination, shall
remain bound by the provisions of this Agreement which specifically relate to
periods, activities or obligations upon or subsequent to the termination of the
Executive's employment.

                  6.0 COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION

6.1 Upon termination of the Executive's employment hereunder for any reason, in
addition to any benefits to which the Executive may then or following the
termination of his or her employment be entitled under any other applicable
policy or plan of the Company then in effect, the Company shall pay to the
Executive (or to his or her estate, as the case may be) his or her Base Salary,
Incentive Compensation and benefits due through the effective date of
termination. In the event that such termination occurs on any date other than
the last day of the fiscal year, the Incentive Compensation shall be based upon
the performance goals achieved at the end of the fiscal year, but shall be
prorated based upon the number of days which have elapsed in the fiscal year
through the date of termination. Payment of the Incentive Compensation due under
this Section 6.1 shall be made no later one hundred twenty (120) days following
the end of the fiscal year with respect to which it is being paid. Payment of
all other amounts due under this Section 6.1 shall be made not later than the
10th day following the effective date of termination.

6.2 In the event the Executive's employment terminates by reason of a "permanent
disability", as defined in Section 5.1.5, the Company shall pay to the Executive
an amount equal to the Base Salary, benefits and Incentive Compensation that
would have been payable to the Executive for the 180 day period following the
date on which the Executive is determined to have a permanent disability in the
manner set forth in Section 5.1.5, less the amount of disability pay (if any)
which the Executive receives for that 180-day period under any applicable
disability insurance policy.

6.3 The parties acknowledge that if the Executive's employment is terminated by
the Company in any manner not permitted by Section 5 of this Agreement, or in
the event of a material breach by the Company of any of its covenants under this
Agreement (any such termination of the Executive's employment or material breach
by the Company shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Wrongful Termination"),
the damages suffered by the Executive by reason thereof would be extremely
difficult to ascertain. In recognition thereof, the parties agree that in the
event of a Wrongful Termination, the Company shall pay to the Executive an
amount equal to (i) the Base Salary and benefits that would have been payable to
the Executive for a period of 24 (twenty-four) full calendar months from and
after the month in which the Wrongful Termination occurred and (ii) the
Incentive Compensation that would have been payable to the Executive for a
period of 12 (twelve) full calendar months from and after the month in which the
Wrongful Termination occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive
shall use reasonable efforts following a Wrongful Termination to obtain
employment comparable in nature and compensation to the Executive's employment
hereunder and, in the event that he or she obtains such employment prior to the
expiration of the aforementioned 24 (twenty-four) month period, the amount due
to the Executive pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be reduced by the amount of
the compensation (if any) which he or she receives during the 24 (twenty-four)
month period from the new position of employment.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   6
6.4 The Base Salary and benefits payable hereunder for any period following a
termination by reason of the Executive's permanent disability or a Wrongful
Termination shall be determined on the basis of the Base Salary and benefits in
effect on the date of the Executive's permanent disability or on the date of the
Wrongful Termination, as the case may be. The Incentive Compensation payable
hereunder for the 180-day period following a termination by reason of the
Executive's permanent disability shall equal one-half of the Incentive
Compensation payable to the Executive with respect to the entire fiscal year in
which the permanent disability occurred, and the Incentive Compensation payable
hereunder for the 12-month period following a Wrongful Termination shall equal
the Incentive Compensation payable to the Executive with respect to the entire
fiscal year in which the Wrongful Termination occurred, in each case based upon
the performance goals achieved at the end of that fiscal year. Also in the event
of a termination by reason of the Executive's permanent disability or a Wrongful
Termination, the Company shall make such other and further payments to the
Executive, his designated beneficiaries and dependents or his estate as may be
provided pursuant to any employee benefit plan and other compensation plan or
program in which the Executive is a participant at the time of the termination
of his or her employment, and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause
all insurance policies under which coverage was then being afforded to the
Executive pursuant to this Agreement to be maintained in effect with coverage
for the Executive through the end of the period for which he or she is entitled
to his Base Salary and benefits; provided, that if continued coverage following
termination is not available under the terms of any of those policies, the
Company shall either use its best efforts to procure the same coverage from
another insurer reasonably deemed acceptable by the Executive, or shall pay to
the Executive an amount equal to the cost to the Company of such coverage as it
was being provided to the Executive under such policy or policies in effect on
the date of termination.

7.0 RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

7.1 In the course of carrying out and performing his or her duties and
responsibilities to the Company, the Executive shall obtain access to and be
entrusted with Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) relating to the
business and affairs of the Company or its Affiliates.

7.2 The term "Confidential Information" as used in this Agreement means all
trade secrets, proprietary information and other data or information (and any
tangible evidence, record or representation thereof), whether prepared,
conceived or developed by an Executive of the Company or its Affiliates or
received by the Company or its Affiliates from an outside source which is
maintained in confidence by the Company or its Affiliates or any of its
customers to obtain a competitive advantage over competitors who do not have
access to such trade secrets, proprietary information, or other data or
information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Confidential
Proprietary Information includes:

7.2.1 any ideas, improvements, know-how, research, inventions, innovations,
products, services, sales, scientific or other formulae, patterns, processes,
methods, machines, manufactures, compositions, processes, procedures, tests,
treatments, developments, technical data, designs, devices, patterns, concepts,
computer programs, computer code, creative development, training or service
manuals, plans for new or revised services or products or other plans, items or
strategy methods on compilation of information, or works in process, or any
Invention (as defined in this Agreement), or parts thereof, and any and all
revisions and improvements relating to any of the foregoing (in each case
whether or not reduced to tangible form) that relate to the business or affairs
of the Company or Affiliates, or that result from its marketing, research and/or
development activities;

7.2.2 any information relating to the relationship of the Company or its
Affiliates with any clients, customers, suppliers, principals, contacts or
prospects of the Company or its Affiliates and any information relating to the
requirements, specifications, proposals, orders, contracts or transactions of or
with any such clients, customers, suppliers, principals, contacts or prospects
of the Company or its Affiliates, including but not limited to client lists;

7.2.3 any sales plan, marketing material, plan or survey, business plan or
opportunity, product or service development plan or specification, business
proposal or business agreement; and

7.2.4 any information relating to the present or proposed business of the
Company or its Affiliates.

7.3 The Executive agrees that the Confidential Information is and will remain
the exclusive property of the Company or its Affiliates. The Executive also
agrees that the Confidential Information:

7.3.1 constitutes a proprietary right which the Company or its Affiliates is
entitled to protect; and

7.3.2 constitutes information and knowledge not generally known to the trade.

7.4 The Executive understands that the Company has from time to time in its
possession information belonging to others or which is claimed by others to be
confidential or proprietary and which

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   7

the Company has agreed to keep confidential. The Executive agrees that all such
information shall be Confidential Information for the purposes of this
Agreement.

7.5 For purposes of the copyright laws of Canada and the USA, to the extent, if
any, that such laws are applicable to any Confidential Information, it shall be
considered a work made for hire and the Company shall be considered the author
thereof.

7.6 The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any Confidential Information
disclosed to the Executive is in the strictest confidence and the Executive
agrees to maintain and hold in strict confidence all Confidential Information
disclosed to him or her. The disclosure of any such Confidential Information by
the Executive in any form whatsoever except as authorized by the Company or
permitted under this Agreement is and shall be considered a breach of the
Executive's employment arrangement and shall constitute immediate cause for
dismissal.

7.7 Except as authorized by the Company, the Executive shall not:

7.7.1 duplicate, transfer, disclose or use nor allow any other person to
duplicate, transfer or disclose any of the Confidential Information; or

7.7.2 incorporate, in whole or in part, within any domestic or foreign patent
application, any proprietary or Confidential Information disclosed to the
Executive by the Company or its Affiliates.

7.8 The Executive will safeguard all Confidential Information to which the
Executive has access at all times so that it is not exposed to or used by
unauthorized persons, and will exercise at least the same degree of care that he
would use to protect his or her own confidential information.

7.9 The restrictive obligations set forth above shall not apply to the
disclosure or use of any information which:

7.9.1 is or later becomes publicly known under circumstances involving no breach
of this Agreement by the Executive;

7.9.2 is already known to the Executive outside his or her employment at the
time of receipt of the Confidential Information;

7.9.3 is disclosed to a third party under an appropriate confidentiality
agreement;

7.9.4 is lawfully made available to the Executive by a third party;

7.9.5 is independently developed by the Executive who has not been privy to the
Confidential Information provided by the Company; or

7.9.6 is required by law to be disclosed but only to the extent of such
requirement and the Executive shall immediately notify in writing the Chairman
of the Company upon receipt of any request for such disclosure.

7.10 The Executive acknowledges that a breach by the Executive of any of the
covenants contained in Section 7 herein shall result in damages to the Company
and that the Company could not be adequately compensated for such damages by a
monetary award. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach, in addition to all
other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company shall
be entitled as a matter of right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction
for such relief by way of restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction,
decree or otherwise, as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement.

7.11 The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section
7 are reasonable and valid and all defences to the strict enforcement thereof by
the Company are hereby waived by the Executive.

7.12 The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

8.0 OWNERSHIP OF FUTURE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

8.1 Any new technology, knowledge or information developed by the Executive
related to the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates during the term
of this Agreement shall be the exclusive property of the Company and its
Affiliates.

8.2 The Executive acknowledges that all Confidential Information and all other
discoveries, know-how, inventions, ideas, concepts, processes, products,
protocols, treatments, methods, tests and improvements, computer programs, or
parts thereof, conceived, developed, reduced to practice or otherwise made by
him or her either alone or with others, and that in any way relates to the
present programs, services, product or business of the Company or its
Affiliates, during the course of his or her employment with the Company pursuant
to this Agreement or any previous employment agreements or arrangements between
the Executive and the Company or its Affiliates, whether or not conceived,
developed, reduced to practice or made during the Executive's regular working
hours or on the premises of the Company (collectively "Inventions"), and any and
all services and products which embody, emulate or employ any

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   8
such Inventions will be the sole property of the Company or its nominee and all
copyrights, patents, patent rights, trademarks, service marks and reproduction
rights to, and other proprietary rights in, each such Invention, whether or not
patentable or copyrightable, will belong exclusively to the Company or its
nominee. For purposes of the copyright laws of the United States of America, to
the extent, if any, that such laws are applicable to any such Invention or any
such service or product, it will be considered a work made for hire and the
Company will be considered the author thereof;

patents or copyrights in respect of the Inventions in any and all countries, and
to that end the Executive will execute all documents for use in applying for,
obtaining and enforcing patents and copyrights on such Inventions as the Company
may desire, together with any assignments of such Inventions to the Company or
Persons designated by it; and

8.6 The Executive represents and warrants that he or she is subject to no
contractual or other restriction or obligation, which will in any way limit his

item of intellectual property or which requires the Executive not to disclose
any information or data to the Company. The Executive further represents and
warrants that he or she does not claim rights in, or otherwise excludes from

covenants contained in Section 8 herein shall result in damages to the Company
and that the Company could not be adequately compensated for such damages by a
monetary award. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach, in addition to all
other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company shall
be entitled as a matter of right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction
for such relief by way of restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction,
decree or otherwise, as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement.

8.8 The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this

licensing to others or selling (the "Competitive Areas") during the Term of this
Agreement or which the Company has definitive plans to develop, manufacture or
market.

10.2 The "Territory" shall be that area throughout the world in which the
Company presently markets its products and services. This agreement shall be
deemed automatically amended without the need of further action by any party to
add any new countries or parts thereof where after date hereof and prior to the

products and services and to delete any countries after no Company products or
services have been sold there for a period of six months.

of business which is not, directly or indirectly, a Competitive Area.

and for the two (2) year period following the termination of such employment, he
or she shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, in the
Territory, either directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or in the service or

divert or appropriate, to any competing business any person or entity whose
account with the Company was sold or serviced by or under the supervision of the
Executive during the year preceding the termination of such employment.

and for the two (2) year period following the termination of such employment, he

11.1 Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be
in writing and shall be sufficiently given (i) when sent by registered mail,
with postage and registration fees prepaid, or by overnight courier service to
the party to be notified at his or its last known address as determined by due
diligence by the party sending such notice or other communication; or (ii) when
delivered into the hands of the party to be notified.


11.2 This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
Company and the Executive and their respective heirs, personal representatives,
transferees, successors (as a result of a merger, consolidation or other form of
corporate reorganization, a sale or other disposition through liquidation or
otherwise of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or otherwise
arising by operation of law) and assigns (including any entity with which the
Company may merge or consolidate or to which it may transfer substantially all
of its assets); provided, that this Agreement shall not be assignable by the
Executive, and it shall not be assignable by the Company except to an entity
with which it may merge, consolidate or to which it may transfer substantially
all of its assets. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume
expressly and to agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the
Company as herinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets
as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement either expressly
or by operation of law.

11.3 This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall
be governed by and construed in every respect (including but not limited to
validity and performance) in accordance with the internal laws of the province
of British Columbia, without giving affect to the conflict of law principles
thereof, notwithstanding that one or more of the parties to this Agreement may
now be or hereafter become domiciled in or a resident of another province or a
foreign country.

11.4 No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding on
the Company unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of
the Company or upon the Executive unless made in writing and signed by him. The
waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by any party or the
failure of any party otherwise to insist upon strict performance of any
provision hereof shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or of
any subsequent failure to perform.

11.5 Section headings and numbers have been inserted herein for convenience of
reference only, and if there shall be any conflict between such numbers or
headings and the text of this Agreement, the text shall control.

11.6 In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held illegal or
invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall at the option of the
party against whom the same is asserted not affect the remaining parts of this
Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if that illegal
and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

11.7 This Agreement and the attached Exhibit A constitutes the entire agreement
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements, arrangements and communications of the parties dealing with such
subject matter, whether oral or written. No other promise, agreement,
understanding or representation will be binding unless made in writing and
signed by the parties hereto.

11.8 If the Executive dies prior to the payment of all amounts due and owing to
him under the terms of this Agreement, such amounts shall be paid to such
beneficiary or beneficiaries as the Executive may have last designated in
writing filed with the Company or as provided under applicable benefit plans and
programs or, if the Executive has made no beneficiary designation, to the
Executive's estate. Such designated beneficiary or the executor of his estate,
as the case may be, may exercise all of the Executive's rights hereunder,
including without limitation those relating to the exercise of stock options or
otherwise to the extent permitted in any plan or other instrument relating
thereto. If any beneficiary designated by the Executive shall predecease the
Executive, the designation of such beneficiary shall be deemed revoked, and any
amounts which would have been payable to such beneficiary shall be paid to the
Executive's estate. If any designated beneficiary survives the Executive, but
dies before payment of all amounts due hereunder, such payments shall, unless
the Executive has designated otherwise, be made to such beneficiary's estate.

11.9 To the best of his or her knowledge, the Executive is not a party to any
agreement, which will be enforced in a manner, which would prevent him from
assuming and fulfilling his responsibilities under this Agreement.

12.0 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

12.1 Executive agrees that it would be difficult to compensate the Company fully
for damages for any violation of the provisions of this Agreement, including
without limitation the provisions of Sections 7, 8, 9 and 10. Accordingly, the
Executive specifically agrees that the Company shall be entitled to temporary
and permanent injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish
the right of the Company to claim and recover damages in addition to injunctive
relief.

13.0 INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE

13.1 The Executive acknowledges that this Agreement has been prepared by the
Company and acknowledges that the Executive has had sufficient time to review
this Agreement thoroughly, that he or she has read and understood the terms of
this Agreement and that the Executive has been given the opportunity to obtain
independent legal advice concerning the interpretation and effect of this
Agreement prior to its execution.
