TERMS & CONDITIONS


 1.         Description
  of Securities 

 The securities subscribed for hereunder shall be units (“Units”),
  each Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (collectively
  the “Shares”) and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase
  warrant (each whole warrant being a “Warrant” and collectively the
  “Warrants”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase
  one common share in the capital of the Company (collectively the “Warrant
  Shares”), as presently constituted, during the period and for the price
  described on the first page of this agreement. The foregoing description of
  the Warrants is a summary only and is subject to the detailed provisions of
  the certificates representing the Warrants. The Units, Shares, Warrants and
  Warrant Shares are herein collectively referred to as the “Securities”.


 The Securities will be subject to concurrent restricted
  resale (hold) periods imposed by Multilateral Instrument 45-102 Resale
  of Securities of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “Resale
  Instrument”) and the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “Exchange)
  during which they may be resold only in compliance with the Resale Instrument
  and the Exchange’s policies. Such restricted resale periods will generally
  expire on the four month anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in paragraph
  4). Subscribers are advised to consult their own legal advisers in connection
  with any applicable resale restrictions. 

 2.         Payment
  of Subscription Price

  this Private Placement Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) must
  be paid by money order, certified cheque or bank draft payable to the Company
  or to the Company’s legal counsel, O’Neill & Company, on or before
  the Closing Date. Such Subscription Price shall be allocated to the Shares and
  Warrants on the basis of CDN$ 0.01 to the Warrants and the balance to the Shares.


 Pending the Closing (as defined below), the Subscription Funds
  may be used by the Company for its corporate purposes. Any interest income from
  the Subscription Funds shall be for the account of the Company. Should the Closing
  not occur by August 29, 2003, the payment of the Subscription Funds to the Company
  shall become a demand loan repayable without interest.

	 	(c)
	The Company’s obligation
        to complete the purchase and sale of the Units shall be subject to the

        respects on or before Closing Date. This condition may be waived by the
        Company with respect to the Company’s obligation.

	 	 	 
	 	(d)
	The Subscriber’s obligation
        to accept delivery of the certificates representing the Shares and Warrants

	 	 	(i)
	the representations and warranties made
        by the Company in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material
        respects as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though
        made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak
        as of a specific date) and the undertakings of the Company shall have
        been performed, satisfied and complied with in all material respects on
        or before the Closing Date with the undertakings required by the Transaction
        Documents to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at

	 	 	(ii)

        the proposed private placement of the Units and the acceptance for listing
        of the Common Shares and Warrant Shares on the Exchange.

	 	 	 
	5.   	Acknowledgements of
        Subscriber

       The Subscriber acknowledges that:

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(a)
	the Securities have not been registered
        under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
        “1933 Act”) or under any state securities or “blue sky”
        laws, and the Company has no obligation or present intention of filing
        a registration statement under the 1933 Act in respect of the Securities
        and therefore the Securities cannot be offered or sold in the United States
        of America without registration under the 1933 Act and the securities
        laws of all applicable states of the United States of America, unless
        an exemption from registration is available or registration is not required
        pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(b)
	the Subscriber’s decision to execute
        the Transaction Documents and acquire the Units has not been based on
        any oral or written representation made by or on behalf of the Company
        and the Company has not provided any offering memorandum, prospectus,
        disclosure statement or registration statement to the Subscriber but such




Rest Execution Copy - July 24, 2003 








V - 4


	 	 	 	decision is based entirely upon the
        Subscriber’s review of information which has been filed by the Company
        with the various Canadian securities commissions under applicable securities
        legislation and the Exchange (the “Public Record”), including
        the Company’s most recent audited and unaudited financial statements
        (collectively the “Financial Statements”), and the Subscriber’s
        knowledge of the Company’s affairs, and the Subscriber has had the
        opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its advisors regarding
        the Company and its business and financial condition and, as a result
        of all of the foregoing, the Subscriber believes that it has received
        all the information which it considers necessary for deciding whether
        to invest in the Units;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(c)	the Company is entitled to rely on the
        statements and answers of the Subscriber contained in the Transaction
        Documents and the Subscriber will hold the Company harmless from any loss
        or damage it may suffer as a result of the Subscriber’s failure to
        correctly complete the Transaction Documents;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(d)	it has (or others for whom it is contracting
        hereunder have) been advised to consult their own legal advisers with
        respect to applicable resale restrictions and it is (or others for whom
        it is contracting hereunder are) solely responsible (and the Company is
        not in any way responsible) for compliance with applicable resale restrictions;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(e)	this Agreement is not enforceable by
        the Subscriber unless it has been accepted by the Company, it has been
        entered into by the Subscriber for valuable consideration and may not
        be revoked or withdrawn by the Subscriber and it is not assignable by
        the Subscriber without the written consent of the Company which consent
        may be unreasonably withheld;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(f)	no securities commission or similar
        regulatory authority has reviewed or passed on the merits of the Securities;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(g)	there is no government or other insurance
        covering the Securities;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(h)	there are risks associated with the
        purchase of the Securities;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(i)	there are restrictions on the Subscriber’s
        ability to resell the Securities and it is the responsibility of the Subscriber
        to find out what those restrictions are and to comply with them before
        selling the Securities;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(j)	the Company has advised the Subscriber
        that the Company is relying on exemptions from the requirements to provide
        the Subscriber with a prospectus and to sell securities through a person
        registered to sell securities under the Securities Act (British
        Columbia) (together with the rules, policies, instruments and orders thereunder,
        the “BC Act”) and, as a consequence of acquiring securities
        pursuant to these exemptions, certain protections, rights and remedies
        provided by the BC Act, including statutory rights of rescission or damages,
        will not be available to the Subscriber; and

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(k)	pursuant to the Resale Instrument, the
        Securities will be subject to restrictions on transfer for a period of
        four months and a concurrent period of four months pursuant

	 	 	 	to the policies of the Exchange, in both cases from
        the Closing Date and thereafter the Securities may be subject to notice
        or other requirements under applicable securities legislation upon disposition.
      



 6.         Representations,

        regulations; or

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	(C)
	made in a transaction that does not
        require registration under the 1933 Act or any applicable United States

        sale, an opinion of counsel of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory
        to the Company confirming the compliance of such sale with the 1933 Act

	 	 	(vi)	acknowledges and agrees
        the Securities will be “restricted securities” under the 1933
        Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction
        not involving a public offering and that under the Act and applicable
        regulations the Securities may be resold without registration under the
        1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(vii)	
        understands and acknowledges that upon the issuance thereof, and unless

          or in substitution thereof) shall bear, on the face of such certificates,

        BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES
        ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (THE “1933 ACT”) OR ANY APPLICABLE
        STATE SECURITIES LAW. NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED,
        OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF WITHOUT (A) AN
        EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE UNITED
        STATES STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION, OR (B) AN

        APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION
        IS AVAILABLE. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS ‘UNITED STATES’ AND

	 	 	(xi)
	acknowledges the Financial Statements
        have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting

	the Subscriber will not engage in any
        ‘directed selling efforts’ (as defined in Regulation S of the
        1933 Act) in the United States of America in respect of the resale of

        of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning
        the market in the United States for the resale of the Securities; and
