of expenses hereunder.

         5.       Management Power of Consultant. The business affairs of Client
and the operation of Client's business shall be conducted by the officers,

have the aid of assistants or the services of any other person to perform the
duties and obligations required of Consultant pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, Consultant may from time to time employ, engage or retain the
services of such other person. Any and all costs to Consultant for those
services shall be chargeable to Consultant.

         8.       Failure to Act by Representative of Consultant. Any direction
given or service performed by any representative of Consultant, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, shall constitute the direction, consultation or
the performance by Consultant. In the event, for any reason whatsoever, any
representative of Consultant is unable or unwilling to act or perform pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement, that event shall not void this Agreement or
diminish its effect and the performance by any other representative of

         9.       Governmental Rules and Regulations. The provisions of this
Agreement and the relationship contemplated by the provisions of this Agreement
are subject to any and all present and future orders, rules and regulations of
any duly constituted authority having jurisdiction of that relationship.

         10.      Confidential Information.

                  (a)      Any and all confidential information communicated to
Consultant by Client, identified as such, regarding Client and its business
("Confidential Information"), including any Confidential Information gained by
Consultant or any of its agents, counsel, personnel, accountants, employees or
other representatives ("Consultant's Representatives"), whether or not that
Confidential Information was communicated directly or indirectly or
intentionally or inadvertently, is confidential.

                  (b)      During the term of this Agreement and at all times
thereafter Consultant shall use its best efforts to prevent inadvertent
disclosure to any other person of any Confidential Information. Consultant shall
instruct Consultant's Representatives to keep that information confidential by
using the same care and discretion Consultant's Representatives use with similar
information and data designated by Consultant as confidential.

                  (c)      Any and all Confidential Information constitutes an
exceptionally invaluable trade secret of Client.

                  (d)      The Confidential Information shall belong exclusively
to, and shall be the property of, Client.

         11.      Copies of Confidential Information. Copies of any and all
Confidential Information may not be made without the express written permission
of Client. Any and all such copies shall be returned to Client with the
originals of that Confidential Information.

Client, promptly at request of Client, any and all Confidential Information
which Client shall have provided to Consultant.

         13.      Ownership of Books, Records, and Papers. All books and records
relating to shareholders of client shall be the exclusive property of Client.
All such books and records shall be returned immediately to Client by Consultant
on any termination of this Agreement.

         14.      Registration Status of Consultant. Consultant is not engaged
in the business of affecting transactions in securities. Neither Consultant nor
any of its officers, directors, shareholders or employees is registered with any
agency as a broker-dealer, investment advisor or investment manager and, as
result, is precluded by law from providing to Client services which would be
considered to be those of a broker-dealer, investment advisor or investment
manager. In that regard, Consultant shall not offer, offer to sell, offer for
sale, sell, or attempt to induce the purchase or sale of any securities. None of
the services to be provided by Consultant pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement are intended to be, or shall be construed as, offering or selling
securities, or providing investment, legal or tax advice. Consultant makes no
guarantees or promises to Client regarding the results of Consultant's services
to be provided pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

                                       4

         15.      Information to be furnished by Client. Client shall furnish to
Consultant any and all information, financial records, documents, shareholder
and other information as may be required by Consultant to enable Consultant to
provide the services contemplated by the provisions of this Agreement. Client
shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold Consultant
harmless for, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several, to which Consultant may become subject, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions relating thereto) are caused by any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any fact contained in any
information provided by Client to Consultant or resulting from or based on the
omission or alleged omission to specify a material fact required to be specified
or necessary to make information provided by Client to Consultant not
misleading. In that regard, Client shall reimburse Consultant for any and all
legal and other expenses incurred by Consultant in connection with investigating
or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, Client shall not be liable in any such case to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability results from or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made by Consultant. The indemnification specified by the provisions of
this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         16.      Minimum Amount of Service. Any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Consultant shall devote only so much
time to consult with Client regarding investor relations and related matters as
Consultant, in Consultant's sole and absolute discretion, determines to be
appropriate and necessary.

         17.      Relationship Created. Consultant is not an employee or agent
of Client for any purpose whatsoever, but Consultant is an independent
contractor. Client is interested only in the results obtained by Consultant, and
Consultant shall have complete and sole control of the manner and means of
performing pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Client shall not have
the right to require Consultant to take any action which would jeopardize the
relationship of independent contractor between Client and Consultant. All
expenses and disbursements, including, but not limited to, those for travel and
maintenance, entertainment, officer, clerical, and general administrative
expenses which may be incurred by Consultant in connection with this Agreement
shall be borne and paid completely by Consultant, and Client shall not be in any
way responsible or liable for those expenses, or any portion thereof. Consultant
shall have the right to appoint or otherwise designate suitable and desirable
employees, agents and representatives ("Consultant's Agents"). Consultant shall
be solely responsible for Consultant's Agents and their acts. Consultant's
Agents shall be at Consultant's own risk, expense, and supervision. Consultant's
Agents shall not have any claim against Client for salaries, commissions, items
of cost, or other forms of compensation or reimbursement. Consultant represents,
warrants, and covenants that Consultant's Agents shall be subordinate to
Consultant and subject to each and all of the terms, provisions, and conditions
applying to Consultant pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Consultant
shall be solely responsible for and shall pay any and all expenses incurred in
connection with the operation of Consultant's office and facilities and
Consultant's business activities. Consultant does not have, nor shall Consultant
hold itself out as having, any right, power, or authority to create any contract
or obligation, either express or implied, on behalf of, in the name of, or
obligating Client or pledge Client's credit, or extend credit in Client's name
unless Client shall consent thereto in advance and in writing.

         18.      The Consultant will provide its services hereunder in
compliance with all applicable securities laws and other laws, rules and
regulations and the Consultant will not make any representations or provide any
written information on the Client without the express approval

                                       5

of the Client, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

         19.      Recovery of Litigation Costs. If any legal or equitable action
or other proceeding is commenced for the enforcement or interpretation of this
Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or
misrepresentation regarding any of the provisions of this Agreement, the
successful or prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to
recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in such action or
proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

         20.      Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any and all other
agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties regarding the subject
matter of this Agreement and specifies all the covenants and agreements between
the parties with respect to that subject matter, and each party acknowledges no
representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have
been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any party which are not
specified in this Agreement; and any other agreement, statement or promise
concerning the subject matter specified in this Agreement without including any
such part, parts or portion which, for any reason, hereafter may be declared
invalid.

         21.      Severability. In the event any part of this Agreement, for any
reason, is declared to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity
of any remaining portion of this Agreement, which remaining portion shall remain
in complete force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the
invalid portion of this Agreement eliminated, and it is hereby declared
intention of the parties would have executed the remaining portion of this
Agreement without including any such part, parts or portion which, for any
reason, hereafter may be declared invalid.

         22.      Number and Gender. Whenever the singular number is used in

costs, expenses or damages howsoever caused by reason of any injury (whether to
body, property, or personal or business character or reputation) sustained by
any person or to any person or to property by reason of any act, neglect,
default, or omission of the indemnifying party. Each party shall pay any and all
amounts to be paid or discharged in the case of any action for any such damages
or injuries. If either party is sued in any court for damages by reason of any
of the acts of the other party, such other party shall defend said action (or
cause said action to be defended) at the expense of such other party and such
other party shall pay and discharge any judgment that may be rendered in any
such action. If such other party fails or neglects to so defend in any such
action, the party sued may defend in such action and any expenses, including

attorney's fees, which said party sued may pay or incur in defending said action

defined) to perform such party's obligations created by the provisions of this
Agreement, such party shall give to the other party prompt written notice of the
event of "force majeure" with reasonably complete particulars concerning such
event; thereupon, the obligations of the party giving such notice, so far as
those obligations are affected by the event of "force majeure," shall be
suspended during, but no longer than, the continuance of the event of "force
majeure." The party affected by such event of "force majeure" shall use all
reasonable diligence to resolve, eliminate and terminate the event of "force
majeure" as quickly as practicable. The requirement that an event of "force
majeure" shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch as hereinabove
specified, shall not require the settlement of strikes, lockouts or other labor
difficulties by the party involved, contrary to such party's wishes, and the
resolution of any and all such difficulties shall be handled entirely within the

Agreement shall be defined as and mean any act of God, strike, civil

The representations and warranties specified in this Agreement shall survive the
terminations of this Agreement and shall survive any investigations by either
party whether before or after the execution of this Agreement.

         31.      Reservation of Rights. The failure of any party at any time or
times hereafter to require strict performance by any of the warranties,
representations, covenants, terms, conditions and provisions specified in this
Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of such party failing to
require strict performance to demand strict compliance and performance therewith
and with respect to any other provisions, warranties, terms, and conditions
specified in this Agreement. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect
any other default, whether prior or subsequent thereto, and whether the same or
of a different type.

                  the Consultant of the materials created by the Consultant
                  pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Corporation
                  shall become the sole owner thereof, and the Consultant shall
                  retain no ownership, interest, or rights therein.

         7.       MANAGEMENT POWER OF THE CONSULTANT. The business affairs of
                  the Corporation and the operation of business of the
                  Corporation shall be conducted by the officers, administrative
                  staff and employees of the Corporation. In that regard, it is
                  not the intention of the Corporation to grant or delegate to
                  the Consultant, and no provision of this Agreement shall be
                  construed to grant or delegate to the Consultant any power of
                  direction, management, supervision or control of the
                  administrative staff or other employees of the Corporation.

         8.       CONSULTANT TO ACT AS AGENT. From time to time, the Corporation
                  may deem it advisable to enter into agreements with various
                  persons. Regarding those agreements, the Consultant shall be,
                  and hereby is, designated as an agent of the Corporation for
                  the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of those
                  agreements provided however, that the Corporation must provide
                  its approval for any such agreement prior to such agreement
                  becoming binding on the Corporation. The Consultant, however,
                  shall not obligate the Corporation to any such agreement
                  without first obtaining the approval of the terms and
                  conditions of any such agreement from the Board of Directors
                  of the Corporation.

         9.       LIMITED LIABILITY. With regard to the services to be performed
                  by the Consultant pursuant to the provisions of this
                  Agreement, the Consultant shall not be liable to the
                  Corporation, or any person who may claim any right due to that
                  person's relationship with the Corporation, for any acts or
                  omissions in the performance of those services on the part of
                  the Consultant or on the part of any agent or employee or of
                  the Consultant, except when those acts or omissions of the
                  Consultant are due to the willful misconduct of the Consultant
                  or any such agent or employee.

         10.      ACTS BY AGENTS OF CONSULTANT. It is understood and agreed that
                  any consultation given or service performed by any duly
                  authorized agent or representative of the Consultant pursuant
                  to the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute the
                  direction or the performance of service by the Corporation.

         11.      COMPENSATION.

                  a.       As consideration for the services to be provided by
                  the Consultant to the Corporation pursuant to the provisions
                  of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the
                  Consultant the right and option to purchase, on the terms and
                  subject to the conditions specified in this Agreement, 500,000
                  shares of the Corporation's common stock. The purchase price
                  shall be, and hereby is, $0.75 per share.

                  b.       From and after October 15, 2001, and during and until
                  October 15, 2002, the Consultant shall have the right to
                  purchase from the Corporation 500,000 shares of the
                  Corporation's common stock at the purchase price specified in
                  Paragraph a. of this Section 11 ("Option"). The Consultant
                  shall

                                       3

                  exercise the Option by delivery to the Corporation of a
                  written notice of exercise accompanied by a certified or
                  cashier's check in payment of the purchase price. Promptly
                  upon receipt of such notice of exercise and such check, the
                  Corporation will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
                  Consultant stock certificate(s) representing the number of
                  shares of the Corporation's common stock purchased in
                  accordance with the provisions of this Section 11 and duly
                  registered in the name of the Consultant.

                  c.       During such time as the Option remains outstanding
                  and unexpired, the Corporation will reserve for issuance, upon
                  the exercise of the Option, the number of shares of the
                  Corporation's common stock that are subject to the Option. The
                  shares of the Corporation's common stock subject to the
                  Option, when issued, shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
                  The shares that are the subject of the Option will be issued
                  in reliance on exemptions from applicable securities laws and
                  unless registered pursuant to a SB-2 or other registration
                  statement such shares issued on exercise of the Option will be
                  subject to resale restrictions and the share certificates will
                  be appropriately legended. The Corporation will pay, when due
                  and payable, any and all taxes or fees that may be payable by
                  the Corporation with respect to the grant of the Option or the
                  issuance of any shares of the Corporation's common stock or
                  certificates therefore subject to the Option.

                  d.       The existence of the Option shall not affect in any
                  way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders
                  to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
                  recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the
                  Corporation's capital structure or the Corporation's business,
                  or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any issue
                  of bonds, debentures, preferred stock having a preference to
                  or affecting the Corporation's capital stock or the rights
                  thereof, or the issuance of any securities convertible into
                  any such capital stock or of any rights, options, or warrants
                  to purchase any such capital stock, or the dissolution or
                  liquidation of the Corporation, any sale or transfer of all or
                  any part of the Corporation's assets or business, or any other
                  act or proceeding of the Corporation, whether of a similar
                  character or otherwise.

                  e.       The securities with respect to which the Option is
                  granted are shares of the common stock of the Corporation as
                  presently constituted, but if and whenever, prior to the
                  delivery by the Corporation of all the shares of that common
                  stock with respect to which the Option is granted, the
                  Corporation shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of
                  shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock
                  dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of
                  shares of such common stock issued and outstanding without
                  receiving compensation therefore in money, services, or
                  property, the number of shares of such common stock then
                  remaining subject to the Option shall (a) in the event of an
                  increase in the number of outstanding shares of such common
                  stock, be proportionately increased, and the cash
                  consideration payable per share of such common stock shall be
                  proportionately reduced; and (b) in the event of a reduction
                  in the number of outstanding shares of such common stock, be
                  proportionately reduced, and the cash consideration payable
                  per share of such common stock shall be proportionately
                  increased.

                  f.       Following the merger of one or more corporations with
                  and into the Corporation or any consolidation of the
                  Corporation with and into one or more corporations, the
                  exercise of the Option shall apply to the shares of common
                  stock of the surviving corporation.

         12.      MINIMUM AMOUNT OF SERVICE. Any other provision specified in
                  this Agreement notwithstanding, the Consultant shall devote
                  only so much time in the Consultant's sole and absolute
                  discretion, determines to be necessary or appropriate.

         13.      CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

                  a.       Any and all confidential information communicated to
                  Consultant by Client, identified as such, regarding Client and
                  its business ("Confidential Information"), including any
                  Confidential Information gained by Consultant or any of its
                  agents, counsel, personnel, accountants, employees or other
                  representatives ("Consultant's Representatives"), whether or
                  not that Confidential Information was communicated directly or
                  indirectly or intentionally or inadvertently, is confidential.

                  b.       During the term of this Agreement and at all times
                  thereafter Consultant shall use its best efforts to prevent
                  inadvertent disclosure to any other person of any Confidential
                  Information. Consultant shall instruct Consultant's
                  Representatives to keep that information confidential by using
                  the same care and discretion Consultant's Representatives use
                  with similar information and data designated by Consultant as
                  confidential.

                  c.       Any and all Confidential Information constitutes an
                  exceptionally invaluable trade secret of Client.

                  d.       The Confidential Information shall belong exclusively
                  to, and shall be the property of Client.

         14.      COPIES OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Copies of any and all
                  Confidential Information may not be made without the express
                  written permission of Client. Any and all such copies shall be
                  returned to Client with the originals of that Confidential
                  Information.

         15.      RETURN OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Consultant shall return to
                  Client, promptly at request of Client, any and all
                  Confidential Information which Client shall have provided to
                  Consultant.

         16.      OWNERSHIP OF BOOKS, RECORDS, AND PAPERS.

                  a.       All records of the accounts of customers, debtors,
                  service providers, suppliers, distributors, clients, and any
                  other records and books relating in any manner whatsoever to
                  the conduct of Client's business during the term of this
                  Agreement, whether prepared by Consultant or otherwise coming
                  into Consultant's possession, shall be the exclusive property
                  of Client.

                  b.       All such books and records shall be returned
                  immediately to Client by Consultant on any termination of this
                  Agreement.

         17.      COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. In carrying out its duties and
                  obligations under this Agreement the Consultant will adhere to
                  and comply with all applicable laws to which it is subject
                  including, but not limited to, the securities laws of both
                  Canada and the United States.

         18.      SERVICES OF CONSULTANT NOT EXCLUSIVE. The Consultant may
                  represent, perform services for, and be employed by, any
                  additional persons as the Consultant, in the Consultant's sole
                  and absolute discretion, determines to be necessary or
                  appropriate.

         19.      EMPLOYMENT OF ASSISTANTS. If it is necessary for the
                  Consultant to have the aid of assistants or the services of
                  other person, in order to perform the duties and obligations
                  required of the Consultant pursuant to this Agreement, the
                  Consultant may from time to time, employ, engage or retain the
                  services of such other person.

         20.      RELATIONSHIP CREATED. The Consultant is not an employee of the
                  Corporation for any purpose whatsoever, but is an independent
                  contractor. The Corporation is interested only in the results
                  obtained by the Consultant, who shall have the sole and
                  exclusive control of the manner and means of performing
                  pursuant to this Agreement. The Corporation shall not have the
                  right to require the Consultant to collect accounts,
                  investigate customer or shareholder complaints, attend
                  meetings, periodically report to the Corporation, follow
                  prescribed itineraries, keep records of business transacted,
                  make adjustments, conform to particular policies of the
                  Corporation, or do anything else which would jeopardize the
                  relationship of independent contractor between the Corporation
                  and the Consultant. All expenses and disbursements, including,
                  but not limited to, those for travel and maintenance,
                  entertainment, office, clerical and general administrative
                  expenses, that may be incurred by the Consultant in connection
                  with this Agreement shall be borne and paid wholly and
                  completely by the Consultant, and the Corporation shall not be
                  in any way responsible or liable therefore.

         21.      INDEMNIFICATION. Each party shall save the other party
                  harmless from and against and shall indemnify the other party
                  for any liability, loss, costs, expenses, or damages however
                  caused by reason of any injury (whether to body, property, or
                  personal or business character or reputation) sustained by any
                  person or to any person or to property by reason of any act,
                  neglect, default, or omission of such party or any of such
                  party's agents, employees, or other representatives, and, such
                  party shall pay any and all amounts to be paid or discharged
                  in case of an action or any such liability less costs,
                  expenses, or damages. If either party is sued in any court for
                  damages by reason of any of the acts of the other party
                  referred to in this paragraph, such other party shall defend
                  said action (or cause same to be defended) at such other
                  party's own expense and shall pay and discharge any judgment
                  that may be rendered in any such action; if such other party
                  fails or neglects to so defend in said action, the party sued
                  may defend the same and any expenses, including reasonable
                  attorneys' fees, which such party may pay or incur in
                  defending said action and the amount of any judgment which
                  such party may be required to pay as a result of said action
                  shall be promptly reimbursed upon demand. The indemnification
                  specified by the provisions of this Section 24 shall survive
                  the termination of this Agreement.

         22.      GOVERNMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS. The provisions of this
                  Agreement and the relationship contemplated by the provisions
                  of this Agreement are subject to any and all present and
                  future orders, rules and regulations of any duly constituted
                  authority having jurisdiction of that relationship.

         23.      NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands or other
                  communications pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing
                  or by telex or facsimile transmission and shall be deemed to

                  which expressly refers to this Agreement and specifically
                  states that such instrument is intended to amend this
                  Agreement and is signed by each of the parties.

         25.      NUMBER AND GENDER. Whenever the singular number is used in

                  shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and vice versa;

         26.      EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be prepared in
                  multiple copies and forwarded to each of the parties for
                  execution. All of the signatures of the parties may be affixed
                  to one copy or to separate copies of this Agreement and when
                  all such copies are received and signed by all the parties,
                  those copies shall constitute one agreement which is not
                  otherwise separable or divisible.

         27.      REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Corporation shall promptly
                  reimburse the Consultant for all reasonable business expenses
                  incurred by the Consultant in connection with production of
                  materials and other products requested by the Corporation of
                  the Consultant outside the provisions of this Agreement;
                  provided, however, that the Consultant furnishes to the
                  Corporation adequate records and other documentary evidence
                  substantiating each such expenditure.

         28.      ASSIGNABILITY. Neither party shall sell, assign, transfer,
                  convey or encumber this Agreement or any right or interest in
                  this Agreement or pursuant to this Agreement, or suffer or
                  permit any such sale, assignment, transfer or encumbrance to
                  occur by operation of law without the prior written consent of
                  the other party. In the event of any sale, assignment,
                  transfer or encumbrance consented to by such other party, the
                  transferee or such transferee's legal representative shall
                  agree with such other party in writing to assume personally,
                  perform and be obligated by, the covenants, obligations,
                  warranties, representations, terms, conditions and provisions
                  specified in this Agreement.

         29.      SEVERABILITY. In the event any part of this Agreement or the
                  subject matter of this Agreement, for

<PAGE>
                                       7

                  any reason, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
                  to be invalid, such determination shall not affect the
                  validity of any remaining portion or subject matter of this
                  Agreement, which remaining portion or subject matter shall
                  remain in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been
                  executed with the invalid portion or subject matter thereof
                  eliminated. It is hereby declared the intention of the parties
                  that they would have executed the remaining portion or subject
                  matter of this Agreement without including any such part,
                  parts, portion or subject matter which, for any reasons, may
                  be hereafter determined to be invalid.

         30.      RECOVERY OF ENFORCEMENT COSTS. In the event any party shall
                  institute any action or proceeding to enforce any provision of
                  this Agreement to seek relief from any violation of this
                  Agreement, or to otherwise obtain any judgment or order
                  relating to or resulting from the subject matter of this
                  Agreement, each prevailing party shall be entitled to receive
                  from each losing party such prevailing party's actual
                  attorneys' fees and costs incurred to prosecute or defend such
                  action or proceeding.

         31.      CAPTIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS. Captions of the sections of this
                  Agreement are for convenience and reference only, and the
                  works specified therein shall in no way be held to explain,
                  modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction, or
                  meaning of the provisions of this Agreement. The language in
                  all parts to this Agreement, in all cases, shall be construed
                  in accordance with the fair meaning of that language as if
                  prepared by all parties and not strictly for or against any
                  party. Each party and counsel for such party have reviewed
                  this Agreement. The rule of construction which requires a
                  court to resolve any ambiguities against the drafting party
                  shall not apply in interpreting the provisions of this
                  Agreement.

         32.      MODIFICATION. No modification, supplement or amendment of this
                  Agreement or of any covenant, representation, warranty,
                  condition, or limitation specified in this Agreement shall be
                  valid unless the same is made in writing and duly executed by
                  both parties.

         33.      FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties shall from time to time sign
                  and deliver any further instruments and take any further
                  actions as may be necessary to effectuate the intent and
                  purposes of this Agreement.

         34.      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and each of its
                  provisions shall obligate the heirs, executors,
                  administrators, successors, and assigns of each of the
                  parties. Nothing specified in this section, however, shall be
                  a consent to the assignment or delegation by any party of such
                  party's respective rights and obligations created by the
                  provisions of this Agreement.

         35.      SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All
                  representations and warranties made by each party to this
                  Agreement shall be deemed made for the purpose of inducing the
                  other party to enter into and execute this Agreement. The
                  representations and warranties specified in this Agreement
                  shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall
                  survive any investigation by either party whether before or
                  after the execution of this Agreement.

         36.      CONCURRENT REMEDIES. No right or remedy specified in this
                  Agreement conferred on or reserved to the parties is exclusive
                  of any other right or remedy specified in this Agreement or by
                  law or equity provided or permitted; but each such right and
                  remedy shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, every other
                  right and remedy specified in this Agreement or now or
                  hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
                  otherwise, and may be enforced concurrently therewith or from
                  time to time. The termination of this Agreement for any reason
                  whatsoever shall not prejudice any right

<PAGE>
                                       8

                  or remedy which any party may have, either at law, in equity,
                  or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

         37.      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been
                  entered into in the City of Vancouver, Province of British
                  Columbia, and all questions concerning the validity,
                  interpretation, or performance of any of the terms, conditions
                  and provisions of this Agreement or of any of the rights or
                  obligations of the parties shall be governed by, and resolved
                  in accordance with, the laws of the Province of British
                  Columbia, without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any
                  and all actions or proceedings, at law or in equity, to
                  enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement shall be
                  litigated in the Supreme Court of British Columbia within the
                  City of Vancouver, Province of British Columbia. No claim,
                  demand, action, proceeding, litigation, hearing, motion or
                  lawsuit resulting from or with respect to this Agreement shall
                  be commenced or prosecuted in any jurisdiction other than the
                  Province of British Columbia, and any judgment, determination,
                  finding or conclusion reached or rendered in any other
                  jurisdiction shall be null and void. Each party hereby
                  consents expressly to the jurisdiction of any court located
                  within the Province of British Columbia and consents that any
                  service of process in such action or proceeding may be made by
                  personal service upon such party wherever such party may be
                  then located, or by certified or registered mail directed to
                  such party at such party's last known address.

         38.      FORCE MAJEURE. If any party is rendered unable, completely or
                  partially, by the occurrence of an event of "force majeure"
                  (hereinafter defined) to perform such party's obligations
                  created by the provisions of this Agreement, such party shall
                  give to the other party prompt written notice of the event of
                  "force majeure" with reasonably complete particulars
                  concerning such event; thereupon, the obligations of the party
                  giving such notice, so far as those obligations are affected
                  by the event of "force majeure," shall be suspended during,
                  but no longer than, the continuance of the event of "force
                  majeure." The party affected by such event of "force majeure"
                  shall use all reasonable diligence to resolve, eliminate and
                  terminate the event of "force majeure" as quickly as
                  practicable. The requirement that an event of "force majeure"
                  shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch as hereinabove
                  specified, shall not require the settlement of strikes,
                  lockouts or other labor difficulties by the party involved,
                  contrary to such party's wishes, and the resolution of any and
                  all such difficulties shall be handled entirely within the
                  discretion of the party concerned. The term "force majeure" as
                  used in this Agreement shall be defined as and mean any act of
                  God, strike, civil disturbance, lockout or other industrial
                  disturbance, act of the public enemy, war, blockage, public
                  riot, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, lightning, fire, public
                  demonstration, storm, flood, explosion, governmental action,
                  governmental delay, restraint or inaction, unavailability of
                  equipment, and any other cause or event, whether of the type
                  enumerated specifically in this section or otherwise, which is
                  not reasonably within the control of the party claiming such
                  suspension.

         39.      CONSENT TO AGREEMENT. By executing this Agreement, each party,
                  for itself represents such party has read or caused to be read
                  this Agreement in all particulars, and consents to the rights,
                  conditions, duties and responsibilities imposed upon such
                  party as specified in this Agreement. Each party represents,
                  warrants and covenants that such party executes and delivers
                  this Agreement of its own free will and with no threat, undue
                  influence, menace, coercion or duress, whether economic or
                  physical. Moreover, each party represents, warrants, and
                  covenants that such party executes this Agreement acting on
                  such party's own independent judgment and upon the advice of
                  such party's counsel.
