future  statute  purporting  to  limit  or  qualify  the Sub-Landlord's right to
distrain  and agrees with the Sub-Landlord that in any of the cases described in
paragraph  (a)  the Sub-Landlord in addition to the other rights hereby reserved
to  it shall have the right to enter the same Subleased Premises as agent of the

days within which to cure the default or contingency, if the same can reasonably
be  cured  within such period, or within which to begin curing of the same if it
cannot  be reasonably cured within such period, and shall be permitted access to
the Subleased Premises for that purpose. If the Mortgagee so cures or begins and
continues  diligently  to endeavour to cure such default or contingency it shall

                          ALTTECH VENTURES CORPORATION

The  Offer  to Sub-Lease signed by the Sub-Tenant (Alttech Ventures Corporation)
the  Sub-Landlord  (Hazco  Environmental  Services  Ltd.) and the Landlord (Cane
Holdings  Ltd.)  on  May  8th,  2000 differs from the Sub-Lease Agreement in the
following  ways:

1.     The Sub-Tenant had paid the Sub-Landlord $14,461 for payment of first and
last  months'  rent, plus Goods and Services Tax in accordance with Article 3 of
the  Offer  to  Sub-Lease.  This  is  not  mentioned In the Sub-Lease Agreement.

2     The  Option  to  Renew  approved in the Offer to Sub-Lease is for five (5)
years  (Article 9). The Sub-Lease Agreement only provides for an Option to Renew
of  three  (3)  years.

3.     The  Offer  to  Sub-Lease  (Article 14.b) provides that the Sub-Tenant is
authorized  and responsible to arrange external signage on the proviso that such
signage  conforms to the City of Richmond by-laws, and that all associated costs
including  licenses  and  maintenance are the sole responsibility of the Tenant.

It  is  understood  end  agreed  that

"All provisions of (the) Offer shall survive the completion of this transaction.
In  the  event  of  any  conflict  between  the provisions of this Offer and the
provisions  of  a  Sub-Lease,  the  provisions  of  (the)  Offer shall prevail."
[Article  13,  Offer  Provisions]

                          INTERIOR CLEANING OF BUILDING

With reference to Article 4.02 of the Sub-Lease Agreement, "cleaning, lighting,
heating  If  "cleaning"  refers  to  external cleaning of the building, that is
fine,  However, if "cleaning" refers to the interior of the building, because of
the  nature  of  our  business and our absolute need to ensure protection of our
intellectual  property  including  unescorted  access  to  our  offices,  is  of
extremely  high  importance  to  us.

The  Sub-Tenant  has  already made arrangements ;of the internal cleaning of the
building,  including  interior  window  washing,  and  is solely responsible for
payment  for  such  services.  The  Sub-Tenant  will  keep proper and sufficient
records  and  accounts of all costs associated with the interior cleaning of the
building,  such  records  to  be  made  available  at  our  offices by our Chief
Financial  Officer  to  the  Sub-Landlord  at  any  reasonable  time.

          (c)     Consideration;  Manner  of  Exercise.  The  Option  price  is
                  ------------------------------------
payable  either  (i)  in  U.S.  dollars  upon exercise of the Option, or (ii) if
approved  by  the  Board,  in  other consideration  including without limitation
Common Stock of the Employer, services, or other property.  An  Option is deemed
to  be  exercised when written notice of exercise has been given to the Employer
in  accordance  with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to  exercise
the Option, together with full payment for the shares of Common Stock subject to
said  notice.

          (d)     Term  of Option.  Under no circumstances may an Option granted
                  ---------------
under  the  Plan  be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the
date  such  Option is granted. The term of each Option must be determined by the
Committee  in  its  discretion.

          (e)     Date  of  Grant; Holding Period.  The grant date of an Option,
                  -------------------------------
for  all  purposes,  is the date the Committee  makes the determination granting
the  Option,  as  set forth in the Option agreement.      Shares of Common Stock
obtained upon the exercise of any Option may not be sold by any Optionee that is
subject  to  Section  16 of the 1934 Act until six (6) months have elapsed since
the  date  of  the  Option  grant.

          (f)     Death  of  Optionee.  In the event of the death of an Optionee
                  -------------------
who  at  the  time  of  his death was an Employee and who had been in Continuous
Status  as  an  Employee  since  the  date  of  grant  of the Option, the Option
terminates  on  the earlier of (i) six (6) months after the date of death of the
Optionee,  or  (ii)  the  expiration  date  otherwise  provided  in  the  Option
agreement.  Under  these  circumstances,  the  Option will be exercisable at any
time  prior  to  such termination by the Optionee's estate, or by such person or
persons  who  have  acquired  the  right to exercise the Option by bequest or by
in-heritance  or  by  reason  of  the  death  of  the  Optionee.

          (g)     Disability  of  Optionee.  If  an  Optionee's  status  as  an
                  ------------------------
Employee  is  terminated  at  any  time  during the Option period by reason of a
disability  (within  the  meaning  of  Sec-tion 22(e)(3) of the Code) and if the
Optionee  had been in Continuous Status as an Employ-ee at all times between the
date  of  grant  of the Option and the termination of his status as an Employee,
the  Option  terminates  on  the  earlier  of (i) one (1) year after the date of
termination of his status as an Employee, or (ii) the expiration date otherwise
pro-vided  in  the  Option  agreement.

          (h)     Termination of Status as an Employee.  If an Optionee's status
                  ------------------------------------
as  an  Employee  is terminated at any time after the grant of an Option by the
Optionee  for any reason other than death or disability, as provided in Sections
6(f) and 6(g), and not by the Company, as provided below, the Option terminates
on  the  earlier  of (i) thirty (30) days following termination of status as an
Employee,  or  (ii)  the  expiration  date  otherwise  provided  in  the  Option
agreement.  If  an  Optionee's  status  as an Employee is terminated at any time
after  the  grant  of  an  Option by the Company for any reason, then the Option
terminates  on  the  date  of  termination  of  status  as  an  Employee.

          (i)     Nontransferability  of  Options.  No  Option granted under the
                  -------------------------------
Plan  may  be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of
in  any  manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
may  be  exercised,  during  the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

<PAGE>
          (j)     Adjustments  Upon  Changes  in Capitalization.  Subject to any
                  ---------------------------------------------
required  action  by  the shareholders of the Employer, the number of shares of
Common  Stock covered by each outstanding Option, the number of shares of Common
Stock  available  for  grant  of  additional Options, and the price per share of
Common  Stock  specified  in  each  outstanding  Option, must be proportionately
adjusted  for any increase or decrease in the number of is-sued shares of Common
Stock  resulting  from any stock split or other subdivision or consolidation of
shares,  the payment of any stock dividend (but only on the Common Stock) or any
other increase or decrease in the number of such shares of Common Stock effected
without  receipt  of  consideration  by  the  Employer;  provided, however, that
conversion  of  any convertible securities of the Employer will not be deemed to
have  been  "effected  with-out  receipt  of  consideration."

          Any  adjustments  as  a  result  of  a  change  in  the  Employer's
capitalization  will  be  made  by  the  Committee,  whose determination in that
respect  is  final,  binding  and  conclusive.  Except  as  otherwise expressly
provided  in  this  Section 6(j), no Optionee shall have any rights by reason of
any  stock  split  or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or
decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock.  Except as otherwise expressly
provided  in  this Section 6(j), any issue by the Employer of shares of stock of
any  class,  or  securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
not affect the number of shares or price of Common Stock subject to any Options,
and  no adjustments in Options shall be made by reason thereof.  The grant of an
Option  under  the  Plan  does  not  in any way affect the right or power of the
Employer  to  make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of
its  capital  or  business  structure.

          (k)     Conditions  Upon  Issuance  of Shares.  Shares of Common Stock
                  -------------------------------------
may  not  be  issued with respect to an Option granted under the Plan unless the
exercise  of  the  Option  and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant
thereto  complies  with  all applicable provisions of law, including, applicable
federal  and  state  securities  laws.

          As  a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Employer may require
the  person  exercising  such  Option  to  represent  and warrant at the time of
exercise  that  the  shares  of  Common  Stock  are  being  purchased  only for
investment  and  without any present intention to sell or distribute such Common
Stock  if,  in the opinion of counsel for the Employer, such a representation is
required  by  any  relevant  provisions  of  law.

          All  Shares  of  Common  Stock  issued  pursuant  to  the Plan will be
"Restricted  Securities" as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act  of  1933,  as  amended.

          (l)     Change  of Control, Merger, Sale of Assets, Etc.  In the event
                  -----------------------------------------------
of the sale or other transfer of the outstanding shares of stock of the Employer
in  one  transaction  or  a  series  of  related  transactions  or  a  merger or

                       Stock Option Plan -- Page 5 of 7
<PAGE>
reorganization  of  the  Employer  with  or  into  any  other corporation, where
immediately  following  the  transaction, those persons who were shareholders of
the  Employer  immediately  before  the transaction control less than 50% of the
voting  power  of the surviving organization (a "change of control event") or in
the  event  of  a  proposed  sale  of  substantially  all  of the assets of the
Employer,  or  in  the  event  of  a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Employer (collectively, "sale transaction") all outstanding Options that are not
then fully exercisable become exercisable immediately before the date of closing
of  any  change of control event or sale transaction or such earlier date as the
Committee  may  fix.

          (m)     Substitute  Stock Options.  In connection with the acquisition
                  -------------------------
or  proposed  acquisition  by the Employer or any Subsidiary, whether by merger,
acquisition  of  stock  or  assets,  or  other  reorganization transaction, of a
business  any  employees  of  which  have been granted options, the Committee is
authorized  to  issue,  in substitution of any such unexercised stock options, a
new  Option  under  this Plan which confers upon the Optionee substantially the
same  benefits  as  the  old  option

          (n)     Tax  Compliance.  The  Employer,  in  its sole discretion, may
                  ---------------
take  any  actions that it reasonably believes to be required in order to comply
with  any  local,  state,  or  federal  tax  laws  relating  to the reporting or
withholding  of taxes attributable to the grant or exercise of any Option or the
disposition  of  any  shares  of Common Stock issued upon exercise of an Option,
including,  but  not limited to: (i) withholding from any Optionee exercising an
Option  a  number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to
the  amount  required  to be withheld by Employer under applicable tax laws, and
(ii)  withholding  from any form of compensation or other amount due an Optionee
or holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of an Option any amount
required  to  be withheld by Employer under applicable tax laws.  Withholding or
reporting  is  considered  required for purposes of this Section 6(n) if any tax
deduction  or other favorable tax treatment available to Employer is conditioned
upon  such  reporting  or  withholding.

          (o)     Other  Provisions.  Option  agreements executed under the Plan
                  -----------------
may  contain  such  other  provisions as the Committee deems advisable, provided
that  they  are  not in-consistent with any of the other terms and conditions of
the  Plan  or  applicable  laws.

     7.     TERM  OF THE PLAN.  The Plan is effective on the date of adoption of
            -----------------
the  Plan  by the Board.  Unless sooner terminated as provided in Section 8, the
Plan  will  terminate  on  the  tenth  (10th) anniversary of its effective date.
Options  may  be  granted  at any time after the effective date and prior to the
date  of  termination  of  the  Plan.

     8.     AMENDMENT;  EARLY TERMINATION.  The Board may terminate or amend the
            -----------------------------
Plan  at  any  time  and  in  such  respects  as it deems advisable, although no
amendment  or  termination  would  affect  any previously-granted Options, which
would  remain  in  full  force  and  effect  notwithstanding  any  amendment  or
termination of the Plan  Shareholder approval of any amendments to the Plan must
be  obtained  whenever  required  by  applicable  law(s).

     9.     SHAREHOLDER  APPROVAL.  Approval  of  the  Plan  is  subject  to
            ---------------------
affirmative  vote  of  the  holders  of  a majority of the outstanding shares of
Common  Stock  of the Employer at a duly convened meeting of the shareholders of
the  Employer,  which  approval  must  occur within twelve (12) months before or
after  the  date  of  adoption  of  the  Plan  by  the  Board.
