                          TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LEASE

For and in consideration of the covenants and agreements by Lessee to pay the
total rental payment herein provided for and to perform the terms, covenants and
conditions on Lessee's part herein contained, Lessor hereby leases and lets unto
Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases and takes from Lessor, each unit of equipment
described on the first page hereof and hereinafter referred to as the
"Equipment", for the term set forth on the first page hereof (commencing on the
date of the first delivery of any of the Equipment to Lessee) and upon and
subject to the covenants, conditions and provisions hereinafter set forth. In
the event that such first delivery represents partial delivery of the Equipment,
the term of this Lease shall be extended by the number of days from the date of
first delivery to the date of final delivery of the Equipment.

1.        RENTAL. For the use of the Equipment, Lessee shall pay to Lessor at
          Lessor's head office a total rental payment equal to the sum of the
          respective amounts of the total advance rental payment(s) and the
          remaining rental payments multiplied by the number of remaining rental
          payments, all as set out on the first page hereof. The total advance
          rental payment(s) shall become due upon the execution hereof by Lessee
          and subsequent payments throughout the Lease term in every calendar
          month, or other calendar period, after the month of delivery on any
          regular billing date of Lessor in such month or period. If more than
          one advance rental payment is payable, then one advance rental payment
          of an amount determined by Lessor shall be applied to the first rental
          period and the remaining advance rental Payment(s) shall be applied in
          reverse order of maturity. Rental payments hereunder are payable
          without abatement, whether or not Lessee has received any notice that
          such payments are due. An interim rental may be assessed on any
          partial delivery of the Equipment from time to time prior to the date
          of final delivery of the Equipment and such interim rental shall
          become payable on said date of final delivery. If final delivery of
          the Equipment occurs after 30 days from the date Lessee executes this
          Lease, Lessor may at its option adjust the remaining rental payments
          by 12 cents per $1,000 of the Equipment cost for each 1/4 of 1% change
          in the prime interest rate of the Royal Bank of Canada between the
          date Lessee executes this Lease and the final delivery date of the
          Equipment. Lessor is hereby authorized to make such adjustments to the
          rental payments as may be necessary upon final delivery of the
          Equipment. In the event Lessee desires to amend this Lease by adding
          additional equipment, Lessee may, with Lessor's consent, do so. In the
          event such additional equipment has a price of $5,000.00 or less, then
          Lessee shall not be required to execute a written amendment to this
          Lease. In such event, Lessee irrevocably appoints any authorized
          officer of Lessor as its lawful attorney to execute a written
          amendment to this Lease on Lessee's behalf with full power and
          authority to bind Lessee to the terms of such written amendment.
          Lessee shall be provided with a copy of such written amendment.

2.        EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION. Lessee authorizes Lessor to complete the
          description of the Equipment on the first page hereof with the
          insertion of serial numbers and other details specifically identifying
          the Equipment, and to insert the Lease Agreement Number, after the
          execution hereof.

3.        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Lessee acknowledges that each unit of
          the Equipment leased hereunder is of a size, design and capacity
          personally chosen and selected by Lessee for business (and not for
          personal or household) purposes without reliance on Lessor and Lessee
          is satisfied that the same is suitable for its purposes and Lessor has
          made no representation or warranty with respect to the suitability,
          durability or date-related compliance of any such unit for the
          purposes or uses of Lessee, or any other representation or warranty
          express or implied with respect thereto, and the Equipment has been
          purchased at Lessee's request from a supplier designated by Lessee.
          Consequently, Lessee has not relied and does not rely on Lessor in
          choosing and selecting the Equipment and Lessee takes full
          responsibility for the choosing, selection, durability and
          date-related compliance and will look only to the Supplier for
          warranty against latent defects or other matters, including
          uninterrupted or error-free operation, Lessor hereby conveying
          expressly and without reserve to Lessee all warranties, if any,
          resulting from the sale of the Equipment entered into with the
          supplier. Lessee renounces the right to any claim or defence against
          Lessor relating to the Equipment. In the event of any action brought
          by Lessor for default under the provisions of this Lease, Lessee
          waives all defences predicated on the failure of the Equipment to
          perform the function for which it was designed and further
          acknowledges and agrees that such failure shall not be deemed to be in
          breach of this Lease.

4.        GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be interpreted and enforced in
          accordance with the laws of the Province wherein the Equipment is to
          be located according to the terms hereof. Lessor and Lessee hereby
          acknowledge that they have required this Lease and all related
          documents to be drawn up in the English language. Le Locateur et le
          Locataire reconnaissent avoir exige que le present credit-bail et les
          documents que s'y rattachment soient redigees en anglais.

5.        EQUIPMENT OWNED BY LESSOR. This agreement is one of leasing only and
          Lessee shall not have or acquire any right, title or interest in or to
          the Equipment except the right of Lessee and its competent employees
          to use or operate the Equipment as provided herein. Lessee
          acknowledges that title to the Equipment has passed from the supplier
          to Lessor notwithstanding any invoicing practice of the supplier.

6.        LOSS OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. Lessee assumes the entire risk of loss or
          damage to the Equipment from any cause whatsoever. No loss or damage
          to the Equipment or any part thereof shall affect or impair the
          obligations of Lessee hereunder which shall continue in full force and
          effect. It is understood and agreed that this Lease shall not
          prejudice the subrogation rights of any insurance carrier.

7.        NO SUBLEASE OR ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE BY LESSEE. Lessee shall not
          encumber, transfer, part with possession of or sublet the Equipment
          and this Lease shall not be assignable by Lessee without prior written
          permission of Lessor, which permission shall not be unreasonably
          withheld. In the event of an assignment, Lessee agrees to pay an
          assignment fee to Lessor of $100.00 or Lessor's actual costs,
          whichever is greater. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Lessor
          from assigning, pledging,

Initials:  Lessee: /s/[illegible]       Lessor: /s/[illegible]            Page 3


<PAGE>

          mortgaging, transferring, encumbering or otherwise disposing, either
          in whole or in part, of Lessor's rights hereunder. Lessee shall not
          change its name without giving Lessor thirty (30) days prior written
          notice of same.

8.        MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT. Lessee shall at all times and
          at Lessee's own expense keep the Equipment in good and efficient
          working order and repair, and maintained by the supplier or authorized
          agents of the supplier, and shall furnish any and all parts,
          mechanisms and devices required to keep the Equipment in good
          mechanical and working order. Lessor, its employees and/or agents
          shall at all times have access to the Equipment for the purpose of
          inspecting it. Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of
          Lessor make any alterations, additions or improvements to the
          Equipment. All such alterations, additions or improvements so made
          shall belong to and remain the property of Lessor.

9.        COMPLIANCE BY LESSEE WITH ALL LAWS, ORDINANCES, ETC. Lessee shall
          comply with and conform to all laws, ordinances and regulations,
          present or future, in any way relating to the ownership, possession,
          use or maintenance of the Equipment throughout the term of this Lease
          and to the perfect exoneration from liability of Lessor.

10.       EQUIPMENT TO BE KEPT FREE OF LEVIES, PRIVILEGES, LIENS, CHARGES, ETC.
          Lessee shall keep the Equipment free of levies, privileges, liens and
          encumbrances and shall pay all licence fees, registration fees,
          assessments, charges and taxes (Municipal, Provincial and Federal),
          which may be levied or assessed, directly or indirectly, against or on
          account of this Lease or the Equipment or any interest therein or use
          thereof. If Lessee shall fail to pay such licence fees, registration
          fees, assessments, charges or taxes Lessor may pay such licence fees,
          registration fees, assessments, charges and taxes as the case may be
          in which event the cost thereof shall be forthwith duo and payable by
          Lessee.

11.       INDEMNIFICATION OF LESSOR BY LESSEE. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor
          against and hold Lessor harmless from any and all claims, actions,
          suits, proceedings, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities,
          including legal fees on a full indemnity solicitor and own client
          basis, arising out of, connected with, based on, or resulting from the
          Equipment, including, without limitation, the manufacture, selection,
          delivery, installation, possession, use, operation or return of the
          Equipment or otherwise on account of any personal injury or death or
          damage to property occasioned by the Equipment or the negligence of
          employees, servants or agents of Lessee, or on account of any
          infringement or alleged infringement of patent occasioned by the
          operation of the Equipment. The indemnities contained herein shall
          survive the termination of this Lease.

12.       INSURANCE. As and from the earlier of the date upon which Lessor
          acquires ownership of, or title to, the Equipment or the date on which
          Lessor may have any risk, responsibility or liability therefore, and
          thereafter throughout the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, at its
          sole expense, place and maintain, in a form and with coverage and
          terms acceptable to Lessor: (a) "all risks" insurance against the loss
          or theft of or

Initials:  Lessee: /s/[illegible]       Lessor: /s/[illegible]            Page 4

<PAGE>

          damage to the Equipment, including earthquake damage, for the full
          replacement value thereof, naming Lessor as a loss payee; and (b)
          public liability and property damage insurance, naming Lessor as
          additional insured, covering any liability in respect of the use,
          operation, possession or ownership of the Equipment. Such insurance
          policies shall contain a provision prohibiting termination of the
          policy except upon 30 days notice by the insurer to Lessor. However,
          any insurance coverage acquired hereunder by Lessee shall in no manner
          restrict or limit the liabilities assumed by Lessee hereunder. Lessee
          shall furnish to Lessor certified copies or certificates of said
          insurance policies. If Lessee fails to maintain insurance as
          stipulated herein, Lessee agrees that Lessor may effect such insurance
          as it sees fit and at the expense of Lessee.

13.       EQUIPMENT TO REMAIN PERSONAL PROPERTY. The Equipment shall at all
          times during the term of this Lease be and remain personal or moveable
          property, regardless of the manner in which it may be attached to any
          real estate. Lessee shall install the Equipment in a manner which will
          permit its removal without material injury to the place of
          installation. Lessee shall be responsible for any damage done to any
          real or immovable property, building or structure by the removal of
          the Equipment and shall indemnify and save harmless Lessor therefrom.

14.       DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall each constitute
          an event of default: (i) the failure of Lessee to pay any rental or
          other sum due under this Lease or any other agreement between the
          parties and such failure continues for a period of five (5) days after
          notice by Lessor; (ii) the breach of or failure to perform or observe
          any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease and such
          failure continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after notice by
          Lessor; (iii) Lessor discovers that a representation or warranty made
          by Lessee is incorrect in any material respect as determined by Lessor
          in its sole determination; (iv) the subjecting of Equipment or any
          part thereof to seizure, attachment or similar process; (v) any
          assignment by Lessee for the benefit of creditors; (vi) the admission
          by Lessee of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
          due; (vii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, interim
          receiver or similar official for Lessee or for any of its property;
          (viii) the filing by or against Lessee of a petition in bankruptcy or
          a petition for the reorganization or liquidation of Lessee; (ix) any
          act of bankruptcy by Lessee; or (x) Lessor in good faith believing
          that the prospect of payment or performance of the obligations of
          Lessee is or is about to be impaired or the Equipment is or is about
          to be placed in jeopardy. On the occurrence of any event of default,
          Lessor shall be entitled at its option (a) to demand the immediate
          return of the Equipment to Lessor, and (b) to take possession of the
          Equipment without demand or notice, wherever the same may be located,
          without any court order or other process of law, Lessee hereby waiving
          any and all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, and (c)
          to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Equipment for such
          consideration and on such terms and conditions as Lessor may
          reasonably deem fit, and (d) to recover from Lessee liquidated damages
          which liquidated damages shall be calculated as follows, namely (i) by
          calculating the entire amount of the then unpaid rental payments of
          the remainder of the term of this Lease, each such rental payment to
          be subject to a discount equal to interest at the rate of six percent
          (6%) per


Initials:  Lessee: /s/[illegible]       Lessor: /s/[illegible]            Page 5

<PAGE>

          annum calculated and compounded monthly over the period commencing on
          the earlier of the date of the aforesaid demand or the date of taking
          possession of the Equipment and ending on the date on which such
          rental payments would have become due and payable under the term of
          this Lease, and (ii) by adding to the sum calculated according to item
          (i) any amount due and unpaid pursuant to this Lease, and (iii) if
          Lessor has not structured this Lease to include an unrecovered capital
          balance, by deducting from the resulting sum the net proceeds of the
          sale, leasing or other disposition of the Equipment, and (iv) by
          adding to the then resulting sum all legal fees on a full indemnity
          solicitor and own client basis and other expenses incurred by Lessor
          in enforcing or attempting to enforce the provisions of this Lease or
          to recover damages for any breach thereof, including costs and
          expenses associated with the taking of possession, moving, storing,
          preparation for disposition and sale, lease or other disposition of
          the Equipment; and to proceed forthwith to the recovery of said
          liquidated damages which shall be conclusively deemed to be a genuine
          pre-estimate by (the parties of the damage suffered by Lessor in the
          circumstances and not a penalty.

15.       ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. Should Lessor assign the sums due and to become
          due hereunder to any bank, trust company or other lending agency (of
          which assignment Lessee hereby waives notice and signification),
          Lessee shall recognize such assignment and should Lessor default in
          the performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease,
          Lessee may not, as to such assignee, terminate this Lease or subject
          Lessee's obligations to pay money under this Lease to any diminution
          or right of set-off or compensation. Unless otherwise agreed in
          writing between the parties hereto, nothing herein contained shall
          release Lessor from its obligation to perform any duty, covenant or
          condition required to be performed by a lessor under the terms of this
          Lease should the same be so assigned.

16.       RETURN OF EQUIPMENT UPON TERMINATION. Upon the termination of this
          Lease for any reason, Lessee shall at its cost, return the Equipment
          to Lessor in good operating condition at a place designated by Lessor
          and if Lessee fails to do so, Lessor shall have the right to enter
          upon the premises where the Equipment may be and take possession of
          and remove it at Lessee's expense, all without legal process. Where
          the Equipment comprises communications equipment, installed cable and
          wiring may be substituted by Lessee with an equivalent amount or cost
          of new cable and wiring of then current manufacture and technology.
          Lessee shall at its expense cause the manufacturer or an authorized
          agent or dealer of the Equipment to supervise the dismantling,
          packing, crating and loading of the Equipment and shall use a carrier
          approved by Lessor. Lessee shall ensure that, upon return of the
          Equipment, the Equipment will be in such condition that the
          manufacturer thereof or an authorized agent or dealer will accept it
          for maintenance under such party's standard maintenance agreement. In
          the event that with or without the consent of Lessor, Lessee remains
          in possession of or uses the Equipment after the expiration of the
          term of this Lease or renewal thereof, all the provisions of this
          Lease shall apply thereto unless and until the same has been
          surrendered pursuant to the terms of this Clause, or Lessor has
          relieved Lessee from its obligations under this Lease


Initials:  Lessee: /s/[illegible]       Lessor: /s/[illegible]            Page 6

<PAGE>

          with respect to the Equipment. Nothing in this Clause shall have the
          effect of extending or renewing the term of this Lease.

17.       WAIVER BY LESSOR. No covenant or condition of this Lease can be waived
          except by the written consent of Lessor, and forbearance or indulgence
          by Lessor in any regard whatsoever shall not constitute a waiver of
          the covenant or condition to be performed by Lessee to which the same
          may apply, and, until complete performance by Lessee of said covenant
          or condition, Lessor shall be entitled to invoke any remedy available
          to Lessor under this Lease or by law, despite said forbearance or
          indulgence.

18.       LATE AND INTEREST CHARGES. Should Lessee fail to pay when due any
          rental payment or any sum required to be paid to Lessor, Lessee shall
          pay interest on such delinquent payment from the due date thereof
          until paid at the rate of 1 3/4% per month compounded monthly (23.14%
          annual equivalent) plus an administration charge of ten dollars ($10)
          for each month or part thereof for which such delinquent payment shall
          be outstanding. Should any payment made by Lessee under this Lease be
          returned to Lessor uncashed or unnegotiated because Lessee did not
          have sufficient funds in its bank or trust company account to cover
          such payments or because of any other reason whatsoever, Lessee shall
          pay to Lessor a charge of twenty-five dollars ($25) for each such
          payment returned to Lessor. This charge shall be subject to change
          without notice.

19.       TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Lease and of each
          and all of its provisions.

20.       BINDING UPON SUCCESSORS, HEIRS AND ASSIGNS. This Lease shall enure to
          the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, heirs, and
          permitted assigns of the respective parties hereto, provided that
          nothing contained in this Clause shall impair any of the provisions
          herein set forth prohibiting transfer or subletting of the Equipment
          by Lessee or assignment of this Lease by Lessee.

21.       HEADINGS. The headings in this Lease are for convenience of reference
          only and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.

22.       INTERPRETATION. It is hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto
          that whenever the context of this Lease so requires, the singular
          number shall include the plural and vice versa, and that words
          importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter
          genders, and that in case more than one lessee is named as Lessee, the
          liability of such lessees shall be joint and several.

23.       NON-CANCELABLE LEASE. This Lease cannot be canceled or terminated
          except as expressly provided herein and will remain in force for the
          full term indicated herein.

24.       LEGAL AND COLLECTION EXPENSES. If this Lease is placed in the hands of
          a lawyer or agency for collection or enforcement, Lessee agrees to pay
          all costs, charges and expenses incurred by Lessor as well as legal
          fees on a full indemnity solicitor and


Initials:  Lessee: /s/[illegible]       Lessor: /s/[illegible]            Page 7
<PAGE>

          own client basis and other expenses which Lessor may be obliged to pay
          such lawyer or agency.

25.       LOCATION AND USE OF EQUIPMENT. The Equipment shall be located and used
          at the place of business of Lessee or as designated on the first page
          hereof and shall not be removed therefrom without the prior written
          consent of Lessor.

26.       WAIVER OF LESSEE. Lessee hereby expressly waives any waiveable
          protection under any provisions applicable legislation restricting
          Lessor's remedies in the event of a default under this Lease.

27.       EXPIRY OF LEASE TERM. At expiration of the Lease term herein, provided
          this Lease is then in force and the terms hereof have not been altered
          by agreement between the parties or otherwise and provided Lessee is
          not then in default hereunder, Lessee shall either (a) purchase the
          Equipment on a "where-is as-is" basis at the market value of the
          Equipment as determined by Lessor; or (b) renew this Lease for a term
          and at rental payments as mutually agreed upon by the parties; or (c)
          upgrade the Equipment for a value as determined by supplier and Lessor
          for other equipment supplied by said supplier; or (d) return the
          Equipment at Lessee's own expense to Lessor, in good operating
          condition (see Clause 8). Where the Equipment comprises communications
          equipment, at Lessee's option installed cable and wiring may be
          substituted with an equivalent amount or cost of new cable and wiring
          of then current manufacture and technology. If Lessee fails to so
          elect then at the option of Lessor the Lease term shall be
          automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis and all the terms and
          conditions of this Lease shall continue in force and effect including
          Lessee's obligation to remit the rental payments as shown on the face
          of this Lease.

28.       CREDIT INVESTIGATION. Lessee hereby consents to Lessor conducting an
          investigation or credit check upon Lessee subject to applicable
          legislation.

29.       LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any express or implied law,
          or other term contained in this Lease to the contrary, Lessor's
          exposure to Lessee under this Lease is limited to direct loss or
          damage not exceeding, in aggregate, the price paid for the equipment
          by Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any special, indirect, or
          consequential damages whatsoever to Lessee arising out of or in
          connection with this Lease.
