2.   AMENDMENTS TO CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT

2.1  AMENDMENT TO SECTION 1.1

Sections 1.1(v) and (w) are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with
the following new Sections 1.1(v) and (w):

          $5,100,000 referred to in Section 2.1;

     (w)  [Intentionally left blank];"

Section 1.1(j) is hereby amended by adding the word "or" following "Tranche No.
1" and deleting the words "or Tranche No. 3" therefrom.

2.2  AMENDMENT TO SECTION 2.1

Section 2.1 of the Credit Facility Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety
and replaced with the following new Section 2.1:

     "Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Rockside hereby
     establishes for Falls Mountain the following credit facility:

     (a)  Tranche No. 1 in the principal amount of $3,750,000, to be advanced on

     following schedule:

</TABLE>

     The bonus shares referred to in this Section 6(b) will vest and become
     eligible for issuance to Rockside only if the principal amount of Tranche
     No. 2 or any part thereof remains outstanding at the applicable bonus
     shares vesting date referred to above. For greater certainty the bonus
     shares referred to in this Section 6(b) will be calculated only on the
     basis of the outstanding amount of Tranche No. 2 at the time of the
     applicable bonus shares vesting date described above. If the principal
     amount of Tranche No. 2 is repaid in full prior to the expiration of the
     applicable bonus shares vesting date, Rockside will no longer have any
     rights to acquire the remaining bonus shares. Tranche No. 2 will be
     converted into Canadian Dollars at the exchange rate published by the Bank
     of Canada at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the
     date of such advance.

     Any repayments by the Pine Valley Group to Rockside in accordance with the
     terms of this Agreement will be applied first to the outstanding principal
     amount of Tranche No. 2 until it is repaid in its entirety and then to the
     outstanding principal amount of Tranche No. 1."
