Article 3

Grant of Options

The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") may from time to time grant to such of the directors, officers and full and part time employees of the Company or of its associated, affiliated, controlled or subsidiary companies, as the Board shall designate, subject to such terms, conditions, limitations, prohibitions and restrictions as: (i) are contained in the Plan (ii) the Board stipulates at the time of grants, and (iii) may be imposed by regulatory authorities.

The Board may not grant Options totalling more than 2% of the common shares of the Company listed on the Exchange on an annual basis to any one consultant or anyone employee conducting investor relations.

Article 4

Shares Subject to the Plan

Options may be granted hereunder on authorized but unissued Shares reserved from time to time by the Board for issuance hereunder, provided that the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, together with the Shares reserved for issuance under the March 31, 2000 Stock Option Plan and the August 17, 2000 Stock Option Plan, at any time may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) and the aggregate number of Shares so reserved for issuance to any person may not exceed 5% of the number of outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis).

In the event that Options granted under the Plan are surrendered, terminate or expire without being exercised in whole or in part, new Options may be granted covering the Shares not purchased under such lapsed Options.

The Board shall reserve at any time and from time to time for issuance under the Plan the Shares issuable under the Plan.

Article 5

Option Price

The purchase price per Share in any Option granted under the Plan shall be such as may be fixed by the Board at the time of grant but under no circumstances, in the case of any Option, shall the exercise price be lower than the market price of the Shares on the Exchange (the "Option Price").

For the purpose of this Article, "market price" shall mean the closing price of the Shares of the Exchange on the day preceding the date of grant. If no Shares traded on such day, the market price shall be the average of the bid and asked prices on such day.

The Company will obtain the approval of disinterested shareholders for any proposed reduction in the Option Price of Options granted to an insider of the Company.

Article 6

Option Agreement

All options granted under the Plan shall be granted pursuant to an option agreement ("Option Agreement") in a form to be settled at the discretion of the Board, subject to the Exchange guidelines.

Article 10

Necessary Approvals

The obligation of the Company to issue and deliver any Shares in accordance with the Plan shall be subject to any necessary approval of any stock exchange or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the securities of the Company. If any Shares cannot be issued to any person for whatever reason, the obligation of the Company to issue such Shares shall terminate and any Option Price paid to the Company shall be returned to the said person.

Article 16

Effects of Alteration of Share Capital

In the event that the outstanding Shares of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company or of another corporation, whether through an arrangement, amalgamation or other similar statutory procedure, or a share, recapitalization, subdivision or consolidation, then there shall be substituted for each Share subject to any such Option, for each Share authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan but not yet covered by an Option and the maximum number of Shares issuable, the number and kind of securities into which each outstanding Share shall be so changed or for which each Share shall be exchanged.

In the event there shall be any change, other than as specified about in this Article, in the number or kind of outstanding Shares of the Company or of any securities into which such Shares shall have been changed or for which it shall be been exchanged, then an equitable adjustment shall be made in the number or kind of shares theretofor authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan but not yet covered by an Option, of the shares then subject to any Option or Options, and in the maximum number of Shares issuable, such adjustment to be reasonably determined by the Board and to be effective and binding for all purposes.

In the case of any such substitution or adjustment as provided for in this Article, the Option Price in each Option agreement for each Share covered thereby prior to such substitution or adjustment will be proportionately and appropriately varied. Such variation shall generally require that the number of securities covered by the Option after the relevant event multiplied by the revised Option Price shall equal the number of Shares covered by the Option prior to the relevant event multiplied by the original Option Price. No adjustment or substitution provided for in this Article shall require the Company in any Option agreement to issue a fractional Share and the total substitution or adjustment with respect to each Option agreement shall be limited accordingly.

If Options are granted to any resident or citizen of the United States, the Board and the Company will use their best efforts to ensure that all matters pertaining to such Options shall be made in applicable United States securities laws.Exhibit 10

The Option shall vest over a period of four years with one fifth vesting 60 days after the date of grant and one fifth vesting on each of the one, two, three and four year anniversaries of the date of grant.

Subject to paragraph 8 herein, the Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time after vesting, for a period of five years commencing April 24, 2000, at a price of $0.37 per share.

2.

3.

The Option shall remain in full force and effect and be exercisable so long as the Optionee is an employee or director of the Company, and shall terminate at the close of business on the date which is 60 days after the day upon which the Optionee ceases to be an employee or director of the Company. Any unexercised portion of the Option may not be exercised by the Optionee after such termination.

4.

5.

If at any time the Optionee shall be dismissed from its position as an employee of the Company for cause or become disqualified to act as a director of the Company, any unexercised portion of the Option shall, in the sole discretion of the Company, immediately terminate.

6.

9.

10.

12.

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia.

13.

The Option is being issued pursuant to the Company's incentive stock option plan (the "Plan") and shall be governed by the terms thereof.  To the extent of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall prevail.
