RIGHTS OF CONTRACTOR

Right Upon Occurrence of Triggering Event

2.1	(a)	Right: If a Change in Control occurs and if, in respect of the Contractor, a Triggering Event occurs on or before the Expiry Date, the Contractor shall be entitled to elect to terminate his employment with the Company and to receive a payment from the Company in the amount equal to 12 months compensation otherwise payable under the Management Services Contract payable either in cash or shares of the Company at the election of the Contractor, said shares to have a deemed price equal to the average bid price of the Company's Common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the last five trading days prior to the election by the Contractor to terminate his employment.

(b)	Condition: The right of the Contractor provided for in section 2.1(a) hereof is conditional upon the Contractor electing to exercise such right by notice given to the Company within six months after the Triggering Event.

Termination Right

2.2	If a Change in Control occurs and the Contractor has not received notice of the termination of his employment with the Company or a Triggering Event has not otherwise occurred, then, during the six month period after the Change of Control, the Contractor may, notwithstanding the absence of a Triggering Event, give notice to the Company of the intention of the Contractor to terminate his employment with the Company. If such notice is given by the Contractor, the termination of his employment will become effective on a date indicated in the notice, but in any event not later than 120 days following the Contractor giving notice of its intention to terminate his employment with the Company and in such case the Contractor shall be entitled to a payment from the Company in the amount calculated in accordance with section 2.1(a) hereof.

Right Upon Termination

2.3	The Contractor shall be entitled to a payment from the Company in the amount calculated in accordance with section 2.1(a) hereof if his employment with the Company is terminated by the Company within 12 months after a Change of Control.

Stock Options

2.4	In the event that the Contractor is entitled to a payment pursuant to section 2.1, section 2.2 or section 2.3 hereof, any provisions of any option to purchase common shares of the Company granted to the Contractor by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company which restricts the number of common shares of the Company which may be purchased before a particular date shall be waived. Subject to required regulatory approvals, in the event that the exercise price of any option granted at the same time as the option was granted to the Contractor is repriced downwards, the exercise price of the option held by the Contractor shall be similarly repriced. The terms of any option agreement evidencing such option shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the provisions of this section 2.4.

Health Benefits

2.5	If the Contractor is entitled to a payment pursuant to section 2.1, section 2.2 or section 2.3 hereof, the Company shall also continue to pay the Contractor's health insurance premiums for a period which is the lesser of one year from termination or until the Contractor has otherwise secured comparable health insurance.
