     THIS FIRST  AMENDED AND RESTATED  STOCK OPTION  CERTIFICATE  (the  "Amended
Option  Certificate")  is entered  into as of the date set forth  below  between
GrowthExperts  Group  Inc.,  an Alberta  corporation  (the  "Company"),  and the
undersigned  optionee (the  "Optionee").  Unless otherwise  defined herein,  the
terms  defined in the 2000 Stock  Option Plan (the  "Plan")  shall have the same
defined meanings in this Amended Option Certificate.

     WHEREAS, subject to and conditioned upon the closing of the amalgamation of
ASPi Alberta, an Alberta company,  and the Company, the Company and the Optionee
desire to amend and restate the  understanding  between  them  evidenced  by the
Option Certificate  attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Option  Certificate") for
common shares of the Company's stock (the "Common Stock"); and

     WHEREAS,  if  such  amalgamation  is not  completed,  this  Amended  Option
Certificate will not become  effective and the original Option  certificate will
continue to govern such grant of options to the Optionee;

     NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the agreements contained herein and in
consideration  of the benefit to the  Optionee of closing  the  Acquisition  and
other good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Optionee enter into this Amended Option
Certificate.

     1.  Options not  Transferable.  This Option may not be  transferred  in any
manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or  distribution  and may be
exercised  during the lifetime of Optionee  only by  Optionee.  The terms of the
Plan and this Amended  Option  Certificate  shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators,  heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee. Upon any attempt
to transfer,  pledge,  hypothecate or otherwise  dispose of any Option or of any
right or privilege  conferred by the Plan contrary to the provisions thereof, or
upon the sale,  levy or  attachment  or  similar  process  upon the  rights  and
privileges  conferred by the Plan,  such Option shall  thereupon  terminate  and
become null and void.

     2. Investment Intent. By accepting the Option, the Optionee  represents and
agrees that none of the shares of Common Stock  purchased  upon  exercise of the
Option will be distributed in violation of applicable  Canadian or U.S.  federal
and state laws and  regulations.  In  addition,  the Company may  require,  as a
condition of exercising the Options,  that the Optionee  execute an undertaking,
in such a form as the Company shall reasonably specify, that the Common Stock is
being  purchased only for  investment and without any then present  intention to
sell or distribute such shares.

     3. Termination of Options.

          (a)  All  unvested  Options  shall  expire  upon  any  termination  of
Optionee's  employment or  contractual  relationship  with the Company,  whether
voluntary or involuntary, or upon the death or Disability of Optionee.

          (b) All vested Options shall expire at the earliest of the following:

               (1)  ten (10) years from the date of the Date of Grant; provided,
                    however,  that the  expiration  date of any Incentive  Stock
                    Option granted to a  greater-than-10%  shareholder shall not
                    be later than five (5) years from the Date of Grant;

               (2)  up to and including the first  anniversary of the closing of
                    the   Acquisition,   six  (6)  months  after   voluntary  or
                    involuntary   termination   of   Optionee's   employment  or
                    contractual   relationship   with  the  Company  other  than
                    termination as described in Paragraph 3(b)(4) below;

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

               (3)  after  the  first   anniversary   of  the   closing  of  the
                    Acquisition, three (3) months after voluntary or involuntary
                    termination   of  Optionee's   employment   or   contractual
                    relationship  with the  Company  other than  termination  as
                    described in Paragraph 3(b)(4);

               (4)  upon  termination  of Optionee's  employment or  contractual
                    relationship  with the Company for cause (as  determined  in
                    the sole discretion of the Committee).

     4. Adjustments to Total Number of Option Shares. Unless otherwise set forth
in Section 8 of the Plan,  if the  outstanding  Shares  that are subject to this
Option  shall at any time be  changed or  exchanged  by  declaration  of a stock
dividend,  split-up,  subdivision or  combination  of shares,  recapitalization,
merger,  consolidation or other corporate reorganization in which the Company is
the surviving corporation,  the number and kind of shares subject to this Option
and the Exercise Price shall be  appropriately  and equitably  adjusted so as to
maintain the  proportionate  number of shares  without  changing  the  aggregate
Exercise Price. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,  or
a merger,  consolidation,  sale of all or  substantially  all of its assets,  or
other  corporate  reorganization  in  which  the  Company  is not the  surviving
corporation, or in which the Company is the surviving corporation but holders of
shares of Company capital stock receive securities of another corporation,  this
Option and all rights shall automatically transfer to the surviving entity as of
the effective date of such event.

     5. Exercise of Option. Options shall be exercisable, in full or in part, at
any time after vesting, until termination;  provided, however, that any Optionee
who is subject to the reporting  and  liability  provisions of Section 16 of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 with  respect  to the  Common  Stock  shall be
precluded  from  selling  or  transferring  any Common  Stock or other  security
underlying an Option during the six (6) months  immediately  following the grant
of that Option. If less than all of the shares included in the vested portion of
any Option are purchased,  the remainder may be purchased at any subsequent time
prior to the  expiration  of the Option term.  No portion of any Option for less
than one hundred  (100)  shares (as adjusted  pursuant to Section 4, above,  and
Section 8 of the Plan) may be exercised: provided, that if the vested portion of
any Option is less than one  hundred  (100)  shares,  it may be  exercised  with
respect  to shares  for which it is  vested.  Only  whole  shares  may be issued
pursuant to an Option, and to the extent that an Option covers less than one (1)
share, it is unexercisable.

     Each  exercise  of the Option  shall be by means of delivery of a notice of
election to exercise  (which may be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) to
the Secretary of the Company at its principal  executive office,  specifying the
number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased and  accompanied  by payment in
cash by certified  check or cashier's  check in the amount of the full  exercise
price for the Common Stock to be purchased.

     6. Type of Option;  Tax Consequences.  Unless otherwise  provided,  Options
granted  in  accordance  with the  Plan  shall be  Non-Qualified  Stock  Options
("NSO").  If the Amended  Option  Certificate  provides that Options  granted to
Optionee  are  Incentive  Stock  Options  ("ISO"),  such Options are intended to
qualify as  Incentive  Stock  Options  under  Section  422 of the U.S.  Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code").  Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of
this Agreement of some of the U.S.  federal tax consequences of exercise of this
Option and  disposition  of the Option  Shares for citizens and residents of the
United  States.  THIS SUMMARY IS  NECESSARILY  INCOMPLETE,  AND THE TAX LAWS AND
REGULATIONS  ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  THE OPTIONEE  SHOULD  CONSULT A TAX ADVISER
BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE OPTION SHARES.

          (a) Exercise of NSO.  There may be a regular U.S.  federal  income tax
liability,  at  ordinary  income  tax rates,  upon the  exercise  of an NSO.  If
Optionee is an employee,  officer or consultant (each an "Employee") or a former
Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's  compensation
or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing  authorities an amount
in cash  equal  to a  percentage  of this  compensation  income  at the  time of
exercise,  and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver  Shares if
such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

          (b) Exercise of ISO. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, there will be
no regular U.S.  federal  income tax liability  upon the exercise of the Option,
although the Optionee may be subject to the alternative  minimum tax in the year
of exercise.

          (c)  Disposition  of  Shares.  The  disposition  of  Option  Shares is
generally a taxable  event.  The tax treatment will depend on whether the Option
is an ISO or an NSO,  and on the length of time for which  Optionee has held the
Option Shares.

     7. Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted
to- Optionee  herein is an ISO, and if Optionee  sells or otherwise  disposes of
any of the Option Shares acquired  pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of
(1) the date two years  after the Date of Grant,  or (2) the date one year after
the date of exercise,  the Optionee  agrees to report sales of such shares prior
to the above  determined  date to the Company within five (5) business day after
such sale is concluded.  The Optionee also agrees to pay to the Company,  within
five (5) business  days after such sale is concluded,  the amount  necessary for
the Company to satisfy its withholding  requirement required by the Code by cash
or check.  Nothing in this Section 7 is intended as a representation that Common
Stock may be sold without  registration under Canadian or U.S. state and federal
securities  laws  or an  exemption  therefrom,  or  that  such  registration  or
exemption will be available at any specified time

     8. Subject to 2000 Stock Option Plan.  The terms of the Options are subject
to the  provisions of the Plan, as the same may from time to time be amended,  a
copy of which has been  delivered to the  Optionee,  and which is available  for
inspection at the principal offices of the Company.

     9. Plan Subject to Change.  The Plan and the policies  governing  grants of
Options under the Plan,  including,  without limitation,  grant timing,  vesting
schedules,  and eligibility  standards,  are subject to change at any time after
the date of this  Amended  Option  Certificate  by the Board of Directors of the
Company or the Committee.

     10.  Professional  Advice.  The  acceptance  of the Options and the sale of
Common  Stock issued  pursuant to the exercise of Options may have  consequences
under Canadian or U.S.  federal,  provincial  and state tax and securities  laws
which may vary  depending  upon the  individual  circumstances  of the Optionee.
Accordingly,  the  Optionee  acknowledges  that he or she has  been  advised  to
consult  his or her  personal  legal and tax  advisor  in  connection  with this
Amended Option  Certificate  and his or her dealings with respect to Options for
the Common Stock. Without limiting other matters to be considered, the Optionee,
if he or she is a U.S.  citizen or resident,  should  consider  whether upon the
exercise of options,  the Optionee will file an election with the U.S.  Internal
Revenue Service pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code.

     11.  No  Employment  Relationship.  Whether  or not any  Options  are to be
granted  under  the Plan  shall be  exclusively  within  the  discretion  of the
Committee,  and nothing contained in the Plan or this Amended Option Certificate
shall be construed as giving any person any right to participate under the Plan.
The grant of an  Option  shall in no way  constitute  any form of  agreement  or
understanding binding on the Company or any related company, express or implied,
that the Company or any related company will employ or contract with an Optionee
for any length of time, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Company's, or
where applicable,  a related company's right to terminate Optionee's  employment
at any time, which right is hereby reserved.

     12.  Securities Laws.  Shares shall not be issued with respect to an Option
unless the  exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such shares
shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation,
Section  162(m)  of the Code,  any  applicable  Canadian  securities  laws,  any
applicable state  securities laws, the U.S.  Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the U.S.  Exchange Act of 1934,  the rules and  regulations  thereunder  and the
requirements of any stock exchange or automated  interdealer quotation system of
a registered national securities  association upon which such shares may then be
listed,  and such issuance  shall be further  subject to the approval of counsel
for the Company with respect to such  compliance,  including the availability of
an exemption  from  registration  for the issuance and sale of such shares.  The
inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body the authority deemed
by the Company to be  necessary  for the lawful  issuance and sale of any shares
under this Plan, or the unavailability of an exemption from registration for the
issuance  and

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

sale of any shares under this Plan,  shall  relieve the Company of any liability
with respect to the non-issuance or sale of such shares.

     As a condition to the exercise of an Option,  the Committee may require the
Optionee to represent  and warrant in writing at the time of such  exercise that
the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any  then-present
intention to sell or distribute such shares.  At the option of the Committee,  a
stop-transfer  order  against  such  shares may be placed on the stock books and
records  of the  Company,  and a legend  indicating  that the  stock  may not be
pledged,  sold or otherwise transferred unless an opinion of counsel is provided
stating  that  such  transfer  is not in  violation  of  any  applicable  law or
regulation, may be stamped on the certificates representing such shares in order
to assure an exemption  from  registration.  The Committee also may require such
other documentation as may from time to time be necessary to comply with federal
and  state   securities  laws.  The  Company  has  no  obligation  to  undertake
registration  of options or the shares of stock  issuable  upon the  exercise of
options.

     SECTION 12 OF THIS AMENDED OPTION  CERTIFICATE  DESCRIBES CERTAIN IMPORTANT
CONDITIONS  RELATING TO FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS THAT MUST BE SATISFIED
BEFORE THIS OPTION CAN BE EXERCISED  AND BEFORE THE COMPANY CAN ISSUE ANY OPTION
SHARES TO THE  OPTIONEE.  THE COMPANY HAS NO  OBLIGATION  TO REGISTER THE OPTION
SHARES.  THE OPTIONEE  WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE  THIS OPTION UNLESS SUCH ARE
REGISTERED OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.  AT THE PRESENT TIME,
EXEMPTIONS  FROM  REGISTRATION   UNDER  CANADIAN  AND  U.S.  FEDERAL  AND  STATE
SECURITIES  LAWS ARE VERY LIMITED AND MIGHT BE UNAVAILABLE TO THE OPTIONEE PRIOR
TO THE  EXPIRATION OF THIS OPTION.  CONSEQUENTLY,  THE  OPTIONEES  MIGHT HAVE NO
OPPORTUNITY  TO  EXERCISE  THIS  OPTION AND TO RECEIVE  OPTION  SHARES UPON SUCH
EXERCISE.

     Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the Company may restrict  the  Optionee's
right to purchase Option Shares after an initial public offering of Common Stock
pursuant  to the U.S.  Securities  Act of  1933,  as  amended,  until a date one
hundred  and eighty  (180)  days  following  completion  of the  initial  public
offering.

     13. Representation about Stock Ownership.  Optionee represents and warrants
to the Company that Optionee does not own stock  possessing more than 20% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of the Company's  outstanding capital
stock ("20% Ownership").

     14. Entire Agreement. This Amended Option Certificate is the only agreement
between the  Optionee  and the Company  with  respect to the  Options,  and this
Amended Option Certificate and the Plan supersede all prior and  contemporaneous
oral and written statements and representations and contain the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the Options.

     15. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be made or given hereunder
shall be mailed or delivered  personally to the addresses set forth below, or as
changed from time to time by written notice to the other:

electricity   than  normal  office  lighting  and  office   equipment;   amounts
reimbursable  to Landlord in connection  with  approvals and consents  sought by
Sub-Sublessee;  Sub-Sublessee's  failure to keep the Sub-Subleased  Premises and

     5. Additional Obligations of Sub-Sublessee.

     5.1   Incorporation  of  Leases.  In  addition  to  the  payment  of  Rent,
Sub-Sublessee  agrees, for the benefit of Sub-Sublessor,  Sublessor and Landlord
that, during the term of this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Sublessee shall perform each and
every one of the  obligations  of the Tenant  under the Leases,  insofar as such
obligations  pertain  to  the  Sub-Subleased  Premises,   excluding  only  those
obligations  expressly  not  incorporated  into  this  Sub-Sublease.  Except  as
otherwise  provided  in this  Section  5.1,  all of the  terms,  covenants,  and
conditions of the Leases shall be incorporated  into this  Sub-Sublease with the
same  force  and  effect  as if the  Sub-Sublessor  were  the  Landlord  and the
Sub-Sublessee  the Tenant under the Leases,  except that each  reference in such
incorporated  provisions  to  "Leases"  shall  be  deemed  a  reference  to this
Sub-Sublease and each reference

<PAGE>

to "Premises" shall be deemed a reference to the  Sub-Subleased  Premises,  and,
except as is otherwise expressly provided in this Sub-Sublease, each party shall
be expressly bound to perform its obligations  thereunder for the benefit of the
other.

     5.2  Subordination of Sub-Sublease to Leases.  This  Sub-Sublease  shall be
subject and  subordinate to the Leases,  and Landlord shall have all rights with
respect to the  Sub-Subleased  Premises  that Landlord has under the Leases with
respect to the Leased Premises.  Sub-Sublessee  has no authority,  and shall not
attempt to exercise any of  Sub-Sublessor's  options (if any exist) to extend or
terminate  the Leases or to add or remove  space from the Leased  Premises.  The
foregoing notwithstanding,  if Sub-Sublessor shall fail to perform an obligation
of  Sub-Sublessor  under the  Leases  and if such  failure  may have a  material
adverse  effect upon  Sub-Sublessee's  rights under this  Leases,  Sub-Sublessor
hereby consents to Sub-Sublessee's  tendering  performance of such obligation to
Sublessor on Sub-Sublessor's behalf.

     5.3 Services, Repairs and Maintenance.

          (a)  Sub-Sublessee  acknowledges  that  Sub-Sublessor  does  not  have
control of the Building or the Building systems, and that Sub-Sublessor will not
provide utilities or other Building services,  maintenance or repair. Subject to
the terms of this  Section  5.3,  Sublessee  will look  solely to  Landlord  for
performance of the services,  maintenance and repair to which  Sub-Sublessor  is
entitled under the Leases.  The nature of such services,  the hours during which
they will be  provided,  the  charges for  services in addition to those  deemed
building  standard,  and the remedy with respect to an interruption of services,
the untenantability of the Sub-Subleased  Premises after a casualty, or a taking
by  eminent  domain  shall be as set  forth in the  Leases.  In the  event of an
interruption   of  services,   a  casualty  or  a  taking  by  eminent   domain,
Sub-Sublessee  shall  have no right to an  abatement  of Base  Rent  under  this
Sub-Sublease unless Sub-Sublessor is entitled to an abatement of Base Rent under
the Leases and the amount of any  abatement to which  Sub-Sublessee  is entitled
shall be limited to so much of the abatement  actually received by Sub-Sublessor
as is allocable to the Sub-Subleased Premises.

          (b) Sub-Sublessor,  upon receipt of written notice from Sub-Sublessee,
shall  make  demand  upon  Sublessor  to take  all  appropriate  action  for the
correction of any defect,  inadequacy or insufficiency in Landlord's performance
under the Leases insofar as such defect,  inadequacy or insufficiency relates to
the  Sub-Subleased   Premises.   If,  after  receipt  of  written  request  from
Sub-Sublessor,  Sublessor shall fail or refuse to perform its obligations  under
the Leases,  Sub-Sublessor shall, at Sub-Sublessee's cost and expense, take such
commercially reasonable actions as Sub-Sublessee may request to attempt to cause
Sublessor to perform such obligations.

     5.4  Insurance.  Sub-Sublessee  shall obtain the insurance  required by the
Leases and shall name Sub-Sublessor, its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys  and  assigns,  and the  parties  required  to be named as  additional
insureds pursuant to the Leases, as additional insureds thereunder.

     5.5 No  Violation  of  Leases.  Sub-Sublessee  shall  neither do nor permit
anything to be done which would cause the Leases to be  terminated  or forfeited
by reason of any right of  termination  or  forfeiture  or default  reserved  or
vested in the Sublessee under the Leases, and Sub-Sublessee  shall indemnify and
hold  Sub-Sublessor  harmless from and against all claims of any kind whatsoever
arising out of Sub-Sublessee's breach of the foregoing covenant.

     5.6 Use.  Sub-Sublessee  shall use the Sub-Subleased  Premises only for the
purposes permitted under the Leases and for no other purpose.

     5.7 Notices. Sub-Sublessee shall forward to Sub-Sublessor, immediately upon
receipt thereof, copies of any notices relating to Sub-Sublessee's  occupancy or
use of the Sub-Subleased  Premises  received by Sub-Sublessee  from Sublessor or
Landlord or from any  governmental  authority,  except those that pertain to the
Sub-Sublessee's  normal  course of business  such as taxes and other  regulatory
filings.

<PAGE>

     5.8 Sublessee's and Landlord's  Consent.  Any act of Sub-Sublessee that, if
done by Sub-Sublessor,  would require  Landlord's consent under the Leases shall
also require Sublessee's and Landlord's consent under this Sub-Sublease.

     6. No Assignment or Sub-Sub-Sublease.

          (a)  Sub-Sublessee  shall not assign its interest in this Sub-Sublease
or Sub-Sub-Sublease all or any portion of the Sub-Subleased Premises without the
prior written consent of Sub-Sublessor, Sublessor and Landlord. For the purposes
of this Section 6, any merger, consolidation or liquidation of Sub-Sublessee, or
any direct or indirect  change in more than fifty percent (50%) of the ownership
interest in or the power to vote the majority of the outstanding voting stock of
Sub-Sublessee,  shall  constitute an assignment for which consent is required by
Sub-Sublessor.   Sub-Sublessor's   consent   to   a   proposed   assignment   or
sub-sub-subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding anything
to the  contrary  in the  preceding  sentences  of this  Section  6(a),  (i) the
transfer of  outstanding  capital  stock or other  listed  equity  interests  by
persons or parties  other than  "insiders"  within the  meaning of the  Security
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  through the "over-the-counter"  market or any
recognized  national or international  securities exchange shall not be included
in  determining  whether a transfer of control or  ownership  has  occurred  and
(ii)(A) the assignment of this Sub-Sublease or a sub-sub-subletting  of all or a
portion of the  Sub-Subleased  Premises to an  affiliate of  Sub-Sublessee  that
controls, is under common control with or is controlled by Sub-Sublessee and (B)
a public or private  offering of equity  interests  in  Sub-Sublessor  shall not
require   Sub-Sublessor's   consent,   but  shall   require   prior   notice  to
Sub-Sublessor,  Sublessor and Landlord and shall be subject to  Sublessor's  and
Landlord's  consent if required  under the Leases.  Consent to any assignment or
Sub-Sub-Sublease  shall not operate as a waiver of the  necessity for consent to
any  subsequent  assignment or  Sub-Sub-Sublease.  Whenever  consent is granted,
Sub-Sublessee  shall promptly  provide to  Sub-Sublessor  a copy of the executed
assignment   or   Sub-Sub-Sublease   document,   as  the   case   may  be.   Any
Sub-Sub-Sublease  or  assignment  made in  violation  of this Section 6 shall be
voidable by Sub-Sublessor and Sublessor.

          (b) As a condition to Sub-Sublessor's  consent to any assignment,  any
potential  assignee  shall assume in writing all  obligations  of  Sub-Sublessee
under  this  Sub-Sublease  and  shall  be  jointly  and  severally  liable  with
Sub-Sublessee  for the payment of rental and other payments,  and performance of
all terms,  covenants  and  conditions of this  Sub-Sublease.  As a condition to
Sub-Sublessee's  consent to any Sub-Sub-Sublease,  the  Sub-Sub-Sublessee  shall
assume all obligations of Sub-Sublessee as to that portion of the  Sub-Subleased
Premises that is  Sub-Sub-Subleased,  and shall be jointly and severally  liable
with  Sub-Sublessee  for rental and other  payments and for  performance  of all
terms,  covenants and conditions of this Sub-Sublease,  except that with respect
to payment of rents and other amounts, the Sub-Sublessee's  obligation shall not
exceed its obligations under the Sub-Sublease.

          (c) In the event of any assignment or Sub-Sub-Sublease,  Sub-Sublessee
shall remain fully liable to perform the obligations of Sub-Sublessee under this
Sub-Sublease.  In connection with each request made by Sub-Sublessee for consent
to an  assignment  or  Sub-Sub-Sublease  and  upon  demand  from  Sub-Sublessor,
Sub-Sublessee shall reimburse Sub-Sublessor for Sub-Sublessor's reasonable costs
actually  incurred  (including  any amount  payable by Sublessor to Landlord) in
processing  Sub-Sublessee's  request.  Sub-Sublessor  shall also be  entitled to
receive as  additional  rent under this  Sub-Sublease,  as and when the same are
paid to  Sub-Sublessee,  and without affecting or reducing any other obligations
of  Sub-Sublessee  hereunder,  one hundred  percent  (100%) of any sums or other
economic consideration received by Sub-Sublessee as a result of an assignment or
Sub-Sub-Sublease,  however denominated under the assignment or Sub-Sub-Sublease,
which  exceed,  in the  aggregate,  (i) the Base Rent and  Additional  Rent that
Sub-Sublessee is obligated to pay to Sub-Sublessor  under this Sub-Sublease over
the same period (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the
Sub-Subleased Premises that are Sub-Sub-Subleased), plus (ii) any customary real
estate  brokerage  commissions  or fees paid by  Sub-Sublessee  to an  unrelated
licensed broker or agent to procure such assignment or Sub-Sub-Sublease.

<PAGE>

     7. Condition  Precedent.  Sub-Sublessee  acknowledges that  Sub-Sublessor's
right to  Sub-Sublease  the  Sub-Subleased  Premises is subject to obtaining the
prior written consent of Sublessor and Landlord. If such consent is not obtained
within 30 days of the date of this  Sub-Sublease,  then either party may, at its
option,  terminate  this  Sub-Sublease  by written notice given within three (3)
business days of the expiration of the 30-day period.  If this  Sub-Sublease  is
terminated in accordance with the foregoing sentence, and if Sub-Sublessee shall
have paid any Base Rent or  Security  Deposit  to  Sub-Sublessor,  Sub-Sublessor
shall promptly refund to Sub-Sublessee  any Base Rent and/or Security Deposit so
paid.
