     services  and  all  other  professional  business  or  consulting  services
     required by the Company, the cost of which, for greater certainty, shall be
     borne by the  Company  solely and not by the  Consultant,  as  reimbursable
     Expenses under the Agreement.

     Subject to the  Consultant's  election to reduce the Services as set out in
     paragraph 5 of Schedule "B", all such  Services  described in the preceding
     provisions  of this  paragraph 2 of Schedule  "A" shall be provided to such
     standards of service and  timeliness,  with such  promises,  equipment  and
     levels of staffing and proficiency  and as were  heretofore  carried out or
     self-supplied by the Company directly  immediately  prior to the engagement
     of the Consultant under this Agreement.

                                  ------------

                                  REMUNERATION
                                  ------------

The  remuneration  (the "Remuneration") of the Consultant shall be determined by

part calendar month (each, a "Month") of the term of this Agreement, by payments
pre-paid, as set out below, or earlier as the Consultant reasonably requires, as
follows:

on  April  1,  2000,  with  respect  to  the  first 9 months of the term of this
Agreement  from  April  1,  2000  to  and  including  December  1,  2000:

1.   CAD $300,000 for each of the first through ninth  Months,  plus  applicable
     GST and any applicable other taxes, for an aggregate of CAD$2,700,000; and

2.   an  advance   against   reimbursable   Expenses  under  this  Agreement  of
     CAD$300,000,

and on October 31, 2000, with respect to the second 9 months of the term of this
Agreement,  from  January  1,  2001  to  September  30,  2001:

3.   CAD$3000,000  for  each  of  the  ninth  through   eighteenth  Months  plus
     applicable  GST  and  any  other  applicable  taxes,  for an  aggregate  of
     CAD$2,700,000;

but  if  the payment in paragraph 3 above is not made to the Consultant when due
on  October 31, 2000, then the Consultant shall be entitled to elect at any time
and  from  time  to  time  during  the  remaining  term  of  the  Agreement:

4.   to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Agreement; or

5.   to reduce  the  level of the  Consultant's  own  Services  provided  to the
     Company  (for  any  part  or all of the  period  from  January  1,  2001 to
     September  30,  2001)  to a  level  of  such  Services  equivalent  to that
     aggregate  level of such  Services  which  would be made  available  to the
     Company  by the  Consultant  on the basis of an  aggregate  payment  to the
     Consultant  per  Month of  CAD$200,000  plus  applicable  GST and all other
     applicable  taxes,  determined by the Consultant on a cost-plus basis, name
     [(115%)  X (the  cost  per  Month  which  is  reasonably  estimated  by the
     Consultant as the  aggregate,  together with all  applicable  overheads and
     taxes,  but  without  duplication,  of all of the  Consultant's  direct and
     indirect  costs,  outlays and  expenses,  allocable  overheads and items of
     amortization and depreciation with respect to the provision of the Services
     by the Consultant for such Month)].

On  entering  into  this  Agreement,  the  Company  shall pay as fully pre-paid,
non-refundable  and deemed earned remuneration, the amount due under paragraph 1
of  this  Schedule  "B"  and,  as  an advance against reimbursable Expenses, the
amount  due  under  paragraph  2  of  this  Schedule  "B".
