          (hereinafter called the "Corporation")

                                                               OF THE FIRST PART

          - and -

          Christos Livadas, a consultant to the Corporation,

          (hereinafter called the "Purchaser")

                                                              OF THE SECOND PART

          WHEREAS the Corporation is a corporation incorporated under the laws
of the Province of Ontario having an authorized share capital consisting of an
unlimited number of common shares;

          AND WHEREAS the Purchaser is a consultant to the Corporation, acting
on the Corporation's Advisory Board to its board of directors;

          AND WHEREAS the Corporation has agreed to grant to the Purchaser, for
services to the Advisory Board, options over common shares of the Corporation to
be made available to the Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement;

          NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of other
good and valuable consideration and the sum of two dollars ($2.00) now paid by
the Purchaser to the Corporation (the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged by
the Corporation), it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:
<PAGE>

                                      -8-

16.  In this Agreement the term "share" or "shares" shall mean, as the case may
          be, one or more common shares in the capital of the Corporation as
          constituted at the date of this Agreement.

          The Corporation hereby grants to the Purchaser, subject to the terms
          and conditions hereinafter set out, an irrevocable option to purchase
          90,000 shares of the Corporation (the said free trading issued and
          outstanding common shares being hereinafter called the "Optioned
          Shares"), at an exercise price of US $2.55 per Optioned Share vesting
          at the end of the first year following the Effective Date.

17.  The Consultant shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
          out, have the right to exercise the options hereby granted, with
          respect to any or all of the Optioned Shares that have vested, at any
          time or from time to time after the date on which they vest and prior
          to June 26, 2005 (hereinafter called the "Expiry Date"). On the Expiry
          Date the options hereby granted shall forthwith expire and terminate
          and be of no further force or effect whatsoever as to such of the
          Optioned Shares in respect of which the options hereby granted have
          not then been exercised.

18.  In the event of the resignation or discharge of the Purchaser as a
          consultant to the Corporation prior to the Expiry Date, the vested
          portion of the option at the date of resignation or discharge hereby
          granted to the Purchaser shall immediately after fourteen (14) days of
          the Purchaser ceasing to be a consultant to the Corporation, cease and
          terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever as to such
          of the Optioned Shares in respect of which the Purchaser would have
          then been entitled to purchase and such option has not previously been
          exercised.

19.  If at any time when the option hereby granted remains unexercised with
          respect to any Optioned Shares, (a) a general offer to purchase all of
          the issued shares of the Corporation is made by a third party or (b)
          the Corporation proposes to sell all or substantially all of its
          assets and undertaking or to merge, amalgamate or be absorbed by or
          into any other company (save and except for a subsidiary or
          subsidiaries of the Corporation) under any circumstances which involve
          or may involve or require the liquidation of the Corporation, a
          distribution of its assets among its shareholders, or the termination
          of its corporate existence, the Corporation shall use its best efforts
          to bring such offer or proposal to the attention of the Purchaser as
          soon as practicable and (i) the options hereby granted may be
          exercised, as to all or any of the Optioned Shares in respect of which
          such options have not previously been exercised, by the Purchaser at
          any time up to and including (but not after) a date thirty (30) days
          following the date of the completion of such sale or prior to the
          close of business on the Expiry Date, whichever is the earlier; and
          (ii) the Corporation may, at its option, require the acceleration of
          the time for the exercise of the said option and of the time for the
          fulfilment of any conditions or restrictions on such exercise.

20.  Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof, the options hereby
          granted shall be exercisable (at any time and from time to time as
          aforesaid) by the Purchaser or its legal representative giving a
          notice in writing addressed to the Corporation at its principal office
          in the City of Toronto, Ontario and delivered to the Secretary of the
          Corporation, which notice shall specify therein the number of Optioned
          Shares in respect of which such notice is being exercised and shall be
          accompanied by payment (by cash or certified cheque) in full of the
          purchase price for such number of Optioned Shares so specified
          therein. Upon any such exercise of options as aforesaid the
          Corporation shall forthwith cause the transfer agent and registrar of
          the Corporation to deliver to Purchaser or its legal representative
          (or as the Purchaser may otherwise direct in the notice of exercise of
          option) within ten (10) days following receipt by the Corporation of
          any such notice of exercise of option a certificate or certificates in
          the name of the Purchaser or its legal representative representing in
          the aggregate such number of Optioned Shares as the Purchaser or its
          legal representative shall have then paid.

21.  Nothing herein contained or done pursuant hereto shall obligate the
          Purchaser to purchase and/or pay for any Optioned Shares except those
          Optioned Shares in respect of which the Purchaser shall have exercised
          its option to purchase hereunder in the manner hereinbefore provided.

22.  In the event of any sub-division, re-division or change of the shares of
          the Corporation at any time prior to the Expiry Date into greater
          number of shares, the Corporation shall deliver at the time of any
          exercise thereafter of the option hereby granted such additional
          number of shares as would have resulted from such sub-division, re-
          division or change if such exercise of the option hereby granted had
          been prior to the date of such sub-division, re-division or change.

          In the event of any consolidation or change of the shares of the
Corporation at any time prior to the Expiry Date into a lesser number of shares,
the number of shares deliverable by the Corporation on any exercise thereafter

          together with such other ancillary and related duties as the
          Corporation may reasonably require from time to time, and shall commit
          such time, effort and attention to the business and affairs of the

          Corporation, the disclosure of any of which to the Corporation's
          competitors, customers, or the general public may be highly
          detrimental to the best interests of the Corporation.

     (4)  The Consultant acknowledges that the business of the Corporation
          cannot be properly protected from adverse consequences of the actions
          of the Consultant other than by restrictions as hereinafter set forth.

          whether by affluxation of time or otherwise, the Consultant shall
          forthwith upon such termination return to the Corporation each and
          every copy of any Confidential Information (including all notes,

     ----------------------
          Corporation as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the

          authority to bind the Corporation or to assume or create any
          obligation or responsibility, expressed or implied, on the
          Corporation's behalf, or in its name, nor shall he represent to anyone

          (hereinafter called the "Corporation")

                                                               OF THE FIRST PART

          - and -

          Ben Johnson , a consultant to the Corporation,

          (hereinafter called the "Purchaser")

                                                              OF THE SECOND PART

          be, one or more common shares in the capital of the Corporation as
          constituted at the date of this Agreement.

          The Corporation hereby grants to the Purchaser, subject to the terms
          and conditions hereinafter set out, an irrevocable option to purchase

          portion of the option at the date of resignation or discharge hereby
          granted to the Purchaser shall immediately after fourteen (14) days of

          then been entitled to purchase and such option has not previously been
          exercised.

          respect to any Optioned Shares, (a) a general offer to purchase all of
          the issued shares of the Corporation is made by a third party or (b)
          the Corporation proposes to sell all or substantially all of its
          assets and undertaking or to merge, amalgamate or be absorbed by or
          into any other company (save and except for a subsidiary or

          or may involve or require the liquidation of the Corporation, a
          distribution of its assets among its shareholders, or the termination
          of its corporate existence, the Corporation shall use its best efforts
          to bring such offer or proposal to the attention of the Purchaser as

          Expiry Date, whichever is the earlier; and (ii) the Corporation may,
          at its option, require the acceleration of the time for the exercise
          of the said option and of the time for the fulfilment of any
          conditions or restrictions on such exercise.

20.  Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof, the options hereby
          granted shall be exercisable (at any time and from time to time as
          aforesaid) by the Purchaser or its legal representative giving a
          notice in writing addressed to the Corporation at its principal office

          the Corporation to deliver to Purchaser or its legal representative
          (or as the Purchaser may otherwise direct in the notice of exercise of
          option) within ten (10) days following receipt by the Corporation of
          any such notice of exercise of option a certificate or certificates in
          the name of the Purchaser or its legal representative representing in
          the aggregate such number of Optioned Shares as the Purchaser or its
          legal representative shall have then paid.

21.  Nothing herein contained or done pursuant hereto shall obligate the
          Purchaser to purchase and/or pay for any Optioned Shares except those
          Optioned Shares in respect of which the Purchaser shall have exercised
          its option to purchase hereunder in the manner hereinbefore provided.

22.  In the event of any sub-division, re-division or change of the shares of
          the Corporation at any time prior to the Expiry Date into greater
          number of shares, the Corporation shall deliver at the time of any
          exercise thereafter of the option hereby granted such additional
          number of shares as would have resulted from such sub-division, re-
          division or change if such exercise of the option hereby granted had
          been prior to the date of such sub-division, re-division or change.

          In the event of any consolidation or change of the shares of the
Corporation at any time prior to the Expiry Date into a lesser number of shares,
the number of shares deliverable by the Corporation on any exercise thereafter
of the option hereby granted shall be reduced to such number of shares as would
have resulted from such consolidation or change if such exercise of the option
hereby granted had been prior to the date of such consolidation or change.

          of any of the Optioned Shares (including any right to receive
          dividends or other distributions therefrom or thereon) other than in
          respect of Optioned Shares in respect of which the Purchaser shall
          have exercised its option to purchase hereunder and which the
          Purchaser shall have actually taken up and paid for.

24.  Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

          Corporation, its successors and assigns, and the Purchaser and its
          successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the
          Purchaser or its legal representative.

                                      -8-

16.  In this Agreement the term "share" or "shares" shall mean, as the case may
          be, one or more common shares in the capital of the Corporation as
          constituted at the date of this Agreement.

          The Corporation hereby grants to the Purchaser, subject to the terms
          and conditions hereinafter set out, an irrevocable option to purchase
          45,000 shares of the Corporation (the said free trading issued and
          outstanding common shares being hereinafter called the "Optioned
          Shares"), at an exercise price of US $2.55 per Optioned Share vesting
          at the end of the first year following the Effective Date .

17.  The Consultant shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
          out, have the right to exercise the options hereby granted, with
          respect to any or all of the Optioned Shares that have vested, at any
          time or from time to time after the date on which they vest and prior
          to June 26, 2005 (hereinafter called the "Expiry Date"). On the Expiry
          Date the options hereby granted shall forthwith expire and terminate
          and be of no further force or effect whatsoever as to such of the
          Optioned Shares in respect of which the options hereby granted have
          not then been exercised.

18.  In the event of the resignation or discharge of the Purchaser as a
          consultant to the Corporation prior to the Expiry Date, the vested
          portion of the option at the date of resignation or discharge hereby
          granted to the Purchaser shall immediately after fourteen (14) days of
          the Purchaser ceasing to be a consultant to the Corporation, cease and
          terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever as to such
          of the Optioned Shares in respect of which the Purchaser would have
          then been entitled to purchase and such option has not previously been
          exercised.

19.  If at any time when the option hereby granted remains unexercised with
          respect to any Optioned Shares, (a) a general offer to purchase all of
          the issued shares of the Corporation is made by a third party or (b)
          the Corporation proposes to sell all or substantially all of its
          assets and undertaking or to merge, amalgamate or be absorbed by or
          into any other company (save and except for a subsidiary or
          subsidiaries of the Corporation) under any circumstances which involve
          or may involve or require the liquidation of the Corporation, a
          distribution of its assets among its shareholders, or the termination
          of its corporate existence, the Corporation shall use its best efforts
          to bring such offer or proposal to the attention of the Purchaser as
          soon as practicable and (i) the options hereby granted may be
          exercised, as to all or any of the Optioned Shares in respect of which
          such options have not previously been exercised, by the Purchaser at
          any time up to and including (but not after) a date thirty (30) days
          following the date of the completion of such sale or prior to the
          close of business on the
<PAGE>

                                      -9-

          Expiry Date, whichever is the earlier; and (ii) the Corporation may,
          at its option, require the acceleration of the time for the exercise
          of the said option and of the time for the fulfilment of any
          conditions or restrictions on such exercise.

20.  Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof, the options hereby
          granted shall be exercisable (at any time and from time to time as
          aforesaid) by the Purchaser or its legal representative giving a
          notice in writing addressed to the Corporation at its principal office
          in the City of Toronto, Ontario and delivered to the Secretary of the
          Corporation, which notice shall specify therein the number of Optioned
          Shares in respect of which such notice is being exercised and shall be
          accompanied by payment (by cash or certified cheque) in full of the
          purchase price for such number of Optioned Shares so specified
          therein. Upon any such exercise of options as aforesaid the
          Corporation shall forthwith cause the transfer agent and registrar of
          the Corporation to deliver to Purchaser or its legal representative
          (or as the Purchaser may otherwise direct in the notice of exercise of
          option) within ten (10) days following receipt by the Corporation of
          any such notice of exercise of option a certificate or certificates in
          the name of the Purchaser or its legal representative representing in
          the aggregate such number of Optioned Shares as the Purchaser or its
          legal representative shall have then paid.

21.  Nothing herein contained or done pursuant hereto shall obligate the
          Purchaser to purchase and/or pay for any Optioned Shares except those
          Optioned Shares in respect of which the Purchaser shall have exercised
          its option to purchase hereunder in the manner hereinbefore provided.

22.  In the event of any sub-division, re-division or change of the shares of
          the Corporation at any time prior to the Expiry Date into greater
          number of shares, the Corporation shall deliver at the time of any
          exercise thereafter of the option hereby granted such additional
          number of shares as would have resulted from such sub-division, re-
          division or change if such exercise of the option hereby granted had
          been prior to the date of such sub-division, re-division or change.

          In the event of any consolidation or change of the shares of the
Corporation at any time prior to the Expiry Date into a lesser number of shares,
the number of shares deliverable by the Corporation on any exercise thereafter
of the option hereby granted shall be reduced to such number of shares as would
have resulted from such consolidation or change if such exercise of the option
hereby granted had been prior to the date of such consolidation or change.

                                     -10-

23.  The Purchaser shall have no rights whatsoever as a shareholder in respect
          of any of the Optioned Shares (including any right to receive
          dividends or other distributions therefrom or thereon) other than in
          respect of Optioned Shares in respect of which the Purchaser shall
          have exercised its option to purchase hereunder and which the
          Purchaser shall have actually taken up and paid for.

24.  Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

25.  This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
          Corporation, its successors and assigns, and the Purchaser and its
          successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the
          Purchaser or its legal representative.

26.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the
          laws of the Province of Ontario and shall be deemed to have been made
          in said Province.

                                      -7-


          (hereinafter called the "CORPORATION")

                                                               OF THE FIRST PART

          -and -

          JOSEPH CARUSONE, a consultant to the Corporation,

          (hereinafter called the "PURCHASER")

                                                              OF THE SECOND PART

          WHEREAS the Corporation is a corporation incorporated under the laws
of the Province of Ontario having an authorized share capital consisting of an
unlimited number of common shares;

          AND WHEREAS the Purchaser is a consultant to the Corporation, acting
on the Corporation's Advisory Board to its board of directors;

          AND WHEREAS the Corporation has agreed to grant to the Purchaser, for
services to the Advisory Board, options over common shares of the Corporation to
be made available to the Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement;

          NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of other
good and valuable consideration and the sum of two dollars ($2.00) now paid by
the Purchaser to the Corporation (the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged by
the Corporation), it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

16.  In this Agreement the term "share" or "shares" shall mean, as the case may
           be, one or more common shares in the capital of the Corporation as
           constituted at the date of this Agreement.

           The Corporation hereby grants to the Purchaser, subject to the terms
           and conditions hereinafter set out, an irrevocable option to purchase
           45,000 shares of the Corporation (the said free trading issued and
           outstanding common shares being hereinafter called the "OPTIONED
           SHARES"), at an exercise price of US $2.55 per Optioned Share vesting
           at the end of the first year following the Effective Date.
<PAGE>

                                      -8-

17.  The Consultant shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
           out, have the right to exercise the options hereby granted, with
           respect to any or all of the Optioned Shares that have vested, at any
           time or from time to time after the date on which they vest and prior
           to June 26, 2005 (hereinafter called the "EXPIRY DATE"). On the
           Expiry Date the options hereby granted shall forthwith expire and
           terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever as to such
           of the Optioned Shares in respect of which the options hereby granted
           have not then been exercised.

18.  In the event of the resignation or discharge of the Purchaser as a
           consultant to the Corporation prior to the Expiry Date, the vested
           portion of the option at the date of resignation or discharge hereby
           granted to the Purchaser shall immediately after fourteen (14) days
           of the Purchaser ceasing to be a consultant to the Corporation, cease
           and terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever as to
           such of the Optioned Shares in respect of which the Purchaser would
           have then been entitled to purchase and such option has not
           previously been exercised.

19.  If at any time when the option hereby granted remains unexercised with
           respect to any Optioned Shares, (a) a general offer to purchase all
           of the issued shares of the Corporation is made by a third party or
           (b) the Corporation proposes to sell all or substantially all of its
           assets and undertaking or to merge, amalgamate or be absorbed by or
           into any other company (save and except for a subsidiary or
           subsidiaries of the Corporation) under any circumstances which
           involve or may involve or require the liquidation of the Corporation,
           a distribution of its assets among its shareholders, or the
           termination of its corporate existence, the Corporation shall use its
           best efforts to bring such offer or proposal to the attention of the
           Purchaser as soon as practicable and (i) the options hereby granted
           may be exercised, as to all or any of the Optioned Shares in respect
           of which such options have not previously been exercised, by the
           Purchaser at any time up to and including (but not after) a date
           thirty (30) days following the date of the completion of such sale or
           prior to the close of business on the Expiry Date, whichever is the
           earlier; and (ii) the Corporation may, at its option, require the
           acceleration of the time for the exercise of the said option and of
           the time for the fulfilment of any conditions or restrictions on such
           exercise.

20.  Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof, the options hereby
           granted shall be exercisable (at any time and from time to time as
           aforesaid) by the Purchaser or its legal representative giving a
           notice in writing addressed to the Corporation at its principal
           office in the City of Toronto, Ontario and delivered to the Secretary
           of the Corporation, which notice shall specify
<PAGE>

                                      -9-


           therein the number of Optioned Shares in respect of which such notice
           is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment (by cash or
           certified cheque) in full of the purchase price for such number of
           Optioned Shares so specified therein. Upon any such exercise of
           options as aforesaid the Corporation shall forthwith cause the
           transfer agent and registrar of the Corporation to deliver to
           Purchaser or its legal representative (or as the Purchaser may
           otherwise direct in the notice of exercise of option) within ten (10)
           days following receipt by the Corporation of any such notice of
           exercise of option a certificate or certificates in the name of the
           Purchaser or its legal representative representing in the aggregate
           such number of Optioned Shares as the Purchaser or its legal
           representative shall have then paid.

21.  Nothing herein contained or done pursuant hereto shall obligate the
           Purchaser to purchase and/or pay for any Optioned Shares except those
           Optioned Shares in respect of which the Purchaser shall have
           exercised its option to purchase hereunder in the manner hereinbefore
           provided.

22.  In the event of any sub-division, re-division or change of the shares of
           the Corporation at any time prior to the Expiry Date into greater
           number of shares, the Corporation shall deliver at the time of any
           exercise thereafter of the option hereby granted such additional
           number of shares as would have resulted from such sub-division, re-
           division or change if such exercise of the option hereby granted had
           been prior to the date of such sub-division, re-division or change.

           In the event of any consolidation or change of the shares of the
Corporation at any time prior to the Expiry Date into a lesser number of shares,
the number of shares deliverable by the Corporation on any exercise thereafter
of the option hereby granted shall be reduced to such number of shares as would
have resulted from such consolidation or change if such exercise of the option
hereby granted had been prior to the date of such consolidation or change.

23.  The Purchaser shall have no rights whatsoever as a shareholder in respect
           of any of the Optioned Shares (including any right to receive
           dividends or other distributions therefrom or thereon) other than in
           respect of Optioned Shares in respect of which the Purchaser shall
           have exercised its option to purchase hereunder and which the
           Purchaser shall have actually taken up and paid for.

24.  Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

           Corporation, its successors and assigns, and the Purchaser and its
           successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the
           Purchaser or its legal representative.

26.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the
           laws of the Province of Ontario and shall be deemed to have been made
