          the  prescribed  filing  fee  with  the  Exchange;  and

     (c)  thereafter  use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any comments of
          the  Exchange and obtain an Exchange Bulletin indicating acceptance of
          the  Offering.

4.3     PARTICIPATION  IN  PREPARATION  OF  DOCUMENTS  AND  DUE  DILIGENCE

          The  Corporation  shall  allow  the  Agent  at  all  relevant times to

the  Agent's counsel to conduct all due diligence which the Agent may reasonably
require  in  order to confirm the Short Form, the Incorporated Documents and any
Subsequently Triggered Reports are accurate and current in all material respects
and  to  fulfill  the Agent's obligations as an agent under the Exchange Policy,
the  Alberta  Blanket  Order  and  the  BC  Instrument.

          The  Corporation shall, as soon as reasonably possible, deliver to the
Agent as many copies of the Short Form and any Subsequently Triggered Reports as
the  Agent  may  reasonably  request  and  such  delivery  shall  constitute  a
representation  and  warranty  the  by  Corporation  that as of the date of such

     (a)  that  the  Short  Form  complies with the Exchange Policy, the Alberta
          Blanket  Order  and  the  BC  Instrument;

          true  and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the Units
          to  the  same  standard  as  if  a  prospectus  had  been  filed under
          Applicable  Securities  Laws;

     and  such  delivery shall constitute the Agent's authority to use the Short
     Form  in  connection  with  Offering.

4.5     INFORMATION  TO  AGENT  AND  SUBSEQUENTLY  TRIGGERED  REPORTS

          During  the  Offering  Period the Corporation will promptly inform the

          business,  operations  or condition (financial or otherwise) or assets
          of  the  Corporation;

     (b)  any change in material fact contained or referred to in the Short Form
          or  any  Incorporated  Document;  and

     (c)  the  occurrence  of  a  material fact or event which, is or may be, of
          such  nature  as to render the Short Form or any Incorporated Document
          untrue,  false  or  misleading  in  a  material  respect,  result in a
          misrepresentation  in  the  Short Form or result in the Short Form not
          complying  with  the Exchange Policy, the Alberta Blanket Order or the
          BC  Instrument;

provided  the  Corporation shall in good faith discuss with the Agent any change
in  circumstances  (actual,  proposed  or prospective) which is of such a nature
that  there  is  reasonable doubt whether notice in writing need be given to the
Agent  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions;  and

     (d)  any  request  by  any  securities  commission  or  similar  regulatory
          authority  for  any  additional information or for an amendment to the
          Short  Form,  any  Incorporated  Document  or  any  part of the Public
          Record;

     (e)  the  issuance  by  any  securities  commission  or  similar regulatory
          authority,  the  Exchange  or  by any other competent authority of any

          that  purpose;  and

     (f)  the  receipt  by  the  Corporation  of  any  communication  from  any
          securities commission or similar regulatory authority, the Exchange or
          any  other competent authority relating to the Offering or any part of
          the  Public Record. With respect to any material change, occurrence or
          event  of  the  nature referred to above the Corporation will promptly

          Triggered  Report and provide the Agent with as many copies thereof as
          the  Agent may reasonably request and such delivery shall constitute a
          representation  and  warranty  of the Corporation that the Short Form,
          together  with  the  Incorporated  Documents  and any previously filed
          Subsequently  Triggered  Reports,  constitute  full,  true  and  plain
          disclosure  of  all  material  facts relating to the Units to the same
          standard as if a prospectus had been filed under Applicable Securities
          Laws  and such delivery shall also constitute the Agent's authority to
          use  the  Subsequently  Triggered  Report in connection with Offering.

4.6     MAINTAIN  STATUS  AS  REPORTING  ISSUER

          The  Corporation will use its best efforts to maintain its status as a
reporting  issuer,  not in default of Applicable Securities Laws in the Offering
Jurisdictions  for  not  less  than  two  years  from  the  Closing  Date.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                             RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

          Provided  that  at least $1,000,000 of Units are sold, the Corporation
hereby grants to the Agent a right of first refusal, to participate up to 50% as
co-agent  or  selling group member in connection with any future Canadian equity
financing  or Canadian portion of any U.S. offering by the Corporation for which
the  Corporation  elects  to use a licensed broker/dealer or other intermediary,
for  a  period of 12 months from the Closing Date.  The Agent shall have fifteen
(15)  business  days  from  receipt  of  written notice of any such financing to
exercise  such  right  on  the  specific  financing for which written notice was
received.  In  the  event that the Agent does not elect to accept a co-agency or
selling  group  relationship  for  that  financing,  the  Corporation is free to
negotiate  with  any other securities firm or agent for such financing, provided
that  the  Agent's  right  of  first refusal contained herein shall nevertheless
continue to apply with respect to any future such equity financing undertaken by
the  Corporation within the balance of the said 12 months.  For purposes of this
section, "equity financing" includes a debt financing where such debt is capable
of  being  converted  into  equity  securities  of  the  Corporation.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                           CONDITIONS OF THE OFFERING

          The  following are conditions of the Agent's obligations (and those of
the Purchasers) to close the purchase of the Units as contemplated hereby, which
conditions  the  Corporation  covenants  to  exercise  its reasonable commercial
efforts  to  have fulfilled at or prior to Time of Closing, and which conditions
may  be waived in writing in whole or in part by the Agent on its own behalf and
on  behalf  of  the  Purchasers:

6.1     REGULATORY  APPROVALS

          At  or  prior  to  the  Time  of  Closing,  the Corporation shall have
obtained  all  requisite  regulatory  approvals  required  to be obtained by the
Corporation  in  respect  of  the  Offering  on terms mutually acceptable to the
Agent.

6.2     COMPLIANCE

          At  or  prior to the Time of Closing, the Corporation shall have fully
complied  with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements required to be
complied  with  prior  to  the  Time of Closing in connection with the Offering.

6.3     STOCK  EXCHANGE  LISTING

          The  Unit  Shares, Warrant Shares and Agent's Option Shares shall have

Exchange.

                                      184
<PAGE>

6.4     CORPORATE  ACTION

          At  or  prior to the Time of Closing, the Corporation shall have taken
all  necessary  corporate  action  to  authorize and approve this Agreement, the
issuance  of  the  Units,  the  Agent's  Option  and  all other matters relating
thereto.

6.5     OFFICER'S  CERTIFICATE

          At the Time of Closing, the Corporation shall deliver to the Agent, an
officer's  certificate,  in  form  and substance satisfactory to counsel for the
Agent,  signed  by  the  President  of  the Corporation, dated the Closing Date,
addressed  to  the  Agent  certifying:

     (a)  that  the  representations  and warranties contained in this Agreement
          are  true  and  correct at and as at the Time of Closing, after giving
          effect  to  the  transactions  contemplated  hereby;

     (b)  that the Corporation has complied with all covenants and satisfied all
          the  conditions  contained  herein  on  its  part  to  be performed or
          satisfied  at  or  prior  to  the  Closing  Date;

     (c)  that  the Short Form, together with the Incorporated Documents and any
          Subsequently Triggered Reports filed as of such date, constitute full,
          true  and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the Units
          to  the  same  standard  as  if  a  prospectus  had  been  filed under
          Applicable  Securities  Laws;

     (d)  since the date of the Short Form, there has been no Material Change in
          the  affairs  of  the  Corporation which has not been disclosed by the
          filing  of  a  Subsequently  Triggered  Report;  and

     (e)  addressing  such  other  matters  as  the  Agent  or their counsel may
          reasonably  request.

6.6     LEGAL  OPINION

          The  Corporation  will  have  caused  a favourable legal opinion to be
delivered  by  counsel  acceptable to the Agent, addressed to the Agent, Agent's
counsel  and the Purchasers substantially in the form and substance of the draft
opinion  attached  and addressing such other matters as the Agent may reasonably
request  relating  to the Offering, acceptable in all reasonable respects to the
Agent  and  its  counsel.  In giving the opinions contemplated above, counsel to
the Corporation shall be entitled, where appropriate to rely upon the opinion of
local counsel as to the laws of any jurisdiction where the Corporation's counsel
is  not  qualified  and,  as  to  matters  of fact not within their knowledge, a
certificate of facts from responsible persons in a position to have knowledge of
such  facts  and their accuracy.  The Corporation's counsel shall be entitled to
rely,  as  to  the  opinion  expressed  as  to  outstanding  securities,  upon a
certificate of the Corporation's registrar and transfer Agent, and a certificate
of  an  officer  of  the  Corporation.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                                    CLOSING

          The  Offering  will  be  completed at the offices of the Agent, in the
City  of Calgary, or such other place agreeable to the Corporation and the Agent
at  the  Time  of  Closing  on  the  Closing  Date.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                               CLOSING DELIVERIES

          At  the Time of Closing, the Corporation shall deliver to the Agent on
behalf  of  the  Purchasers:

     (a)  certificates  for  Common  Shares  and Warrants duly registered as the
          Agent  may  direct  representing  the  Units;

     (b)  the requisite legal opinion and certificate as contemplated above; and

     (c)  such  further  documentation  as  may be contemplated herein or as the
          Agent,  or  any  applicable  regulatory  authorities  may  reasonably
          require,  against  payment  of  the  purchase  price  for the Units by
          certified  cheques  or  bank  drafts  payable  to the Corporation. The
          Corporation  will, at the Time of Closing and upon such payment of the
          purchase  price,  make payment in full of the Agent's fees and Agent's
          Commission  in  the  prescribed manner and issue the Agent's Option to
          the  Agent. In addition, the Corporation shall reimburse the Agent for
          all of its estimated expenses incurred up to the Closing Date upon the
          delivery  by  the  Agent  to  the  Corporation of one or more invoices
          therefor,  subject  to  any  adjustment  when such actual expenses are
          finally  determined.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

          All  terms  and obligations of the Corporation in this agreement shall
be  construed  as  conditions  and any breach or failure to comply with any such
terms and obligations in the Agent's favour shall entitle the Agent to terminate
its  obligation  to  complete  the  sale  of the Units by written notice to that
effect  given to the Corporation prior to the Time of Closing.  It is understood
that  the Agent may waive in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance
with,  any such conditions without prejudice to the Agent's rights in respect of
any  such  conditions or any other subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided
that  to  be  binding  on  the  Agent,  any  such waiver or extension must be in
writing.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                                  TERMINATION

          Without  limiting the foregoing, and in addition to any other remedies
which may be available to the Agent, the Agent shall be entitled, at its option,
to  terminate  and  cancel,  without  any liability on its part, its obligations
under  this agreement, and on behalf of the Purchasers, without any liability on
their part, their obligations to purchase the Units, by giving written notice to
the  Corporation  at  any  time  up  to  the  Time  of  Closing:

     (a)  if  any inquiry, investigation, or other proceeding (whether formal or
          informal)  is  commenced  or any order issued under or pursuant to any
          statute  or  there  is  any  change  of  law  or the interpretation or
          administration  thereof,  which  in  the  Agent's  reasonable opinion,
          operates  to prevent or restrict the trading in or distribution of any
          securities  of  the  Corporation or which materially adversely affects
          the  ability  of  the  Corporation  to  carry  on  business;

     (b)  if  there  shall  occur  any  material  adverse  change  in any of the
          representations,  warranties  or covenants of the Corporation given in
          this  agreement  (other  than  a  change related solely to the Agent),
          which  in  the Agent's reasonable opinion would be reasonably expected
          to  have  a significant adverse effect on the market price or value of
          the  Units;

     (c)  if  there  should develop, occur or come into effect any occurrence of
          national or international consequence, any material change or material
          fact  (as such terms are defined in the Applicable Legislation) in the

                                      186
<PAGE>

          affairs  of  the  Corporation  or  any  event or state of facts or any
          action,  governmental  regulation,  or  other occurrence of any nature
          whatsoever  which,  in  the  Agent's  reasonable  opinion,  adversely
          affects,  or  may adversely affect, financial markets, the business of
          the  Corporation or the market price or value of any of the securities
          of  the  Corporation,  such  that,  in  the Agent's opinion, the Units
          cannot  be  profitably  marketed;

     (d)  if  the  state of the financial markets is such that the Units cannot,
          in  the  Agent's  opinion,  be  profitably  marketed;  or

     (e)  if  the  results  of  the Agent's due diligence investigations are not
          satisfactory to the Agent in its sole discretion.

The  Agent  shall  make reasonable efforts to give notice to the Corporation (in
writing  or  by  other  means)  of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events
provided that neither the giving nor the failure to give such notice will in any
way  affect the Agent's entitlement to exercise this right at any time up to the
Time of Closing. The rights of termination contained in the foregoing paragraphs
are  in  addition  to any other rights or remedies it may have in respect of any
default,  act  or failure to act or non-compliance by the Corporation in respect
of any of the matters contemplated by this agreement. If the Agent's obligations
are  terminated  under  this  agreement  pursuant to this termination right, the
Corporation's  liabilities  to  the  Agent shall be limited to the Corporation's
obligations  under  the  indemnity,  contribution  and  expense  reimbursement
provisions  of  this  Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                                    INDEMNITY

11.1     INDEMNITY

          The  Corporation  covenants and agrees to indemnify the Agent, and its
directors,  officers, employees and agents (individually, an "Indemnified Party"
and  collectively,  the  "Indemnified  Parties"), against all losses (other than
loss  of  profits),  claims,  damages,  liabilities, costs or expenses caused or
incurred  in  connection with this Agreement or the distribution of the Units by
reason  of:

     (a)  any  of the representations or warranties of the Corporation contained
          in  this  Agreement  being  untrue;

     (b)  any  breach  of  any  of the covenants of the Corporation contained in
          this  Agreement;

     (c)  the  Corporation  not complying with any requirement of any applicable
          statute,  law,  rule  or  regulation;  or

     (d)  any  order  made  or inquiry, investigation or proceeding commenced or
          threatened  by  any securities commission or other competent authority
          not  based  entirely  upon the activities or the alleged activities of
          the  Agent. To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to
          this  agreement, the Agent shall obtain and hold the right and benefit
          of  the  above-noted  indemnity  in  trust  for  and on behalf of such
          Indemnified  Party.

11.2     INDEMNITY  PROCEDURES

          If  any matter or thing contemplated by this section shall be asserted
against  any  Indemnified  Party in respect of which indemnification is or might
reasonably be considered to be provided, such Indemnified Party shall notify the
Corporation  as soon as possible of the nature of such claim and the Corporation
shall  be  entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit brought
to  enforce  such  claim;  provided,  however, that the defence shall be through
legal counsel acceptable to such Indemnified Party and that no settlement may be

                                      187
<PAGE>

made  by  the  Corporation  or  such Indemnified Party without the prior written
consent  of  the  other, acting reasonably.  In any such claim, such Indemnified
Party  shall  have  the right to retain other counsel to act on such Indemnified
Party's  behalf  provided  that the fees and disbursements of such other counsel
shall  be  paid  by such Indemnified Party, unless: (i) the Corporation and such
Indemnified  Party  mutually  agree  to  retain  other  counsel;  or  (ii)  such
Indemnified  Party  has  been  advised  in  writing  by  its  counsel  that  the
representation of the Corporation and such Indemnified Party by the same counsel
would  be  inappropriate  due to actual or potential differing interests between
them.  In  either  such  event, the fees and disbursements of such other counsel
shall  be  paid by the Corporation, to the extent that they have been reasonably
incurred.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                                  CONTRIBUTION

          In  the  event  that the indemnity provided for above is declared by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable as being contrary
to  public  policy  or for any other reason, the Agent and the Corporation shall
contribute  to  the aggregate of all losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses or
liabilities  (except  loss  of  profits  or consequential damages) of the nature
provided  for  above  such  that the Agent shall be responsible for that portion
represented by the percentage that the portion of the Agent's Commission payable
by  the  Corporation  to  the  Agent bears to the net proceeds realized from the
Offering (being the amount of the gross proceeds realized from the Offering less
than  an  amount  equal  to the Agent's Commission) and the Corporation shall be
responsible  for  the  balance,  provided  that, in no event, shall the Agent be
responsible  for  any  amount in excess of the portion of the Agent's Commission
actually  received  by the Agent.  In the event that the Corporation may be held
to  be  entitled  to  contribution  from  the  Agent under the provisions of any
statute  or  law,  the Corporation shall be limited to contribution in an amount
not  exceeding  the  lesser  of:  (a)  the portion of the full amount of losses,
claims,  costs, damages, expenses, liabilities, giving rise to such contribution
for  which  the Agent is responsible, as determined above, and (b) the amount of
the  Agent's  Commission  actually  received  by the Agent.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing,  a party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall not be entitled
to  contribution  from the other party. Any party entitled to contribution will,
promptly  after  receiving  notice of commencement of any claim, action, suit or
proceeding  against  such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may
be  made  against such party or in respect of which a claim for contribution may
be  made against the other party under this section, notify such party from whom
contribution  may be sought.  In no case shall such party from whom contribution
may  be sought be liable under this agreement unless such notice shall have been
provided,  but  the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party
from  whom  contribution  may  be  sought  from any other obligation it may have
otherwise  than  under this section.  The right to contribution provided in this
section  shall  be  in  addition  and  not  in  derogation of any other right to
contribution  which  we  may  have  by  statute  or  otherwise  by  law.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                             WAIVER OF CONTRIBUTION

          The  Corporation  hereby waives its right to recover contribution from
the  Agent  with  respect  to  any  liability of the Corporation by reason of or
arising  out  of  any  misrepresentation  in  the  Short  Form, the Incorporated
Documents  or  the  Subsequently  Triggered Reports provided, however, that such
waiver  shall  not apply in respect of liability caused or incurred by reason of
or  arising  out  of:  (i) any misrepresentation which is based upon information
relating solely to the Agent and contained in such document and furnished to the
Corporation  by  the Agent expressly for inclusion in such document; or (ii) any
failure  by the Agent to provide to prospective purchasers of Units any document
which  the Corporation is required to provide to such prospective purchasers and
which  the  Corporation has provided to the Agent to forward to such prospective
purchasers;  or  (iii) any failure by the Agent to comply with the terms hereof.

                                   ARTICLE 14
                                    EXPENSES

          All  reasonable expenses incurred from time to time in connection with
the  Offering  including,  without limitation, all costs of or incidental to the
sale,  issue  or  distribution of the Units, the reasonable fees and expenses of
Agent's  counsel,  and to all matters in connection with the transactions herein
set  forth  shall  be  borne  by the Corporation; provided that, the fees of the
Agent's  counsel  shall  not  exceed  $7,500  without  the prior approval of the
Corporation.  The  Corporation covenants and agrees to fully reimburse the Agent
and its counsel from time to time, for all such reasonable expenses, immediately
upon the receipt of one or more invoices therefor and acknowledges that it shall
remain  bound  by  this  obligation,  whether  or not the Offering is completed.

                                   ARTICLE 15
SURVIVAL OF CORPORATION'S WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS
