         the relevant provision of this Agreement shall prevail.

         6. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement,
         if a Change of Control occurs, then all options granted pursuant hereto
         that remain unvested as of the date of any such termination shall
         immediately vest on such date.

         A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any
         person (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) becomes, after the
         date hereof, the owner or "beneficial owner" (as defined in the
         Securities Act (Ontario)), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
         Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the
         Company's then outstanding securities; (ii) during any two year period,
         individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board,
         including for this purpose any additional director whose election was
         approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office or who
         were appointed by the directors then in office, cease for any reason to
         constitute a majority thereof; (iii) the Company consummates a merger,
         amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation of the Company or other
         similar transaction with or into another corporation (a
         "Reorganization"), the result of which is that the shareholders of the
         Company at the time of the execution of the agreement relating to the
         Reorganization own less than 50% of the total equity of the corporation
         surviving or resulting from the Reorganization or of a corporation
         owning, directly or indirectly, 100% of the total equity of such
         surviving or resulting corporation; or (iv) the sale in one or a series
         of transactions of all or substantially all of the assets of the
         Company.

Options must be exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Plan by completing and submitting a subscription substantially in the form of
