16.         
Injunctive Relief. Chalk expressly agrees and acknowledges that any
breach or threatened breach of him by paragraphs 12, 13, 14 and 15 herein, and
each of them, will cause irreparable damage to the Company, for which monetary
damages will be an inadequate remedy, and that the damages flowing from such
breach are not readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms.
Accordingly, in addition to all of the Company’s rights and remedies under this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the right to recovery of monetary
damages from Chalk, the Company shall be entitled to seek

temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctions, without bond, enjoining any
such breach or threatened breach by Chalk.

17.         
Reasonable Terms. The Company has bargained for the covenants set forth
in this Agreement in consideration for the experience, knowledge and information

will not in any way preclude Chalk, upon termination of this Agreement, from

trustworthy manner.

Law. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the
province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein,
irrespective of the fact that Chalk may become a resident of a different
province.

Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company and Chalk and their respective heirs, legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

22.          Severability.
If any portion or portions of this Agreement shall be, for any reason, invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining portion or portions shall nevertheless be valid,
enforceable and carried into effect, unless to do so would clearly violate the
present legal and valid intention of the parties hereto.

23.          Survival.
Paragraphs 12, 13, 14 and 15 shall survive and continue in full force in
accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement.

24.         
Headings. The headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience
only and are not to be considered in construction of the provisions hereof.

25.         
Use of Name. Provided this Agreement is not terminated by Chalk as a
result of a default on the part of the Company, which default has not been
remedied within 21 days of Chalk providing notice of said default to the
Company, then during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of 10 years

      of professional ethics apply.
