                          FORM OF INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT is made as of [______________], 2000 by and between Ironside
Technologies, Inc. a Yukon corporation (Company), and [_______________]
(Indemnitee), an officer of the Company.

                                   RECITALS

     A.     It is essential to the Company to retain and attract as directors
and officers the most capable persons available.

     B.   The increase in corporate litigation subjects directors and officers
to expensive litigation risks at the same time that the availability and
coverage of directors' and officers' liability insurance has been reduced.

     C.   The Company desires to indemnify its directors and officers so as to
provide them with the maximum possible protection permitted by law.

     D.   The Business Corporation Act (Yukon) (the "Act") contemplates that
contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of
directors and officers with respect to indemnification of directors and
officers.

     E.   Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the
Company's bylaws and insurance adequate in the present circumstances, and may
not be willing to serve as a director or officer without adequate protection,
and the Company wants Indemnitee to serve in that capacity.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee agree as follows:

     1.   Services to the Company.  Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve,
at the will of the Company, as a director or officer of the Company for so long
as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders a
resignation in writing.

     2.   Definitions.  As used in this Agreement:

          (a)  The term "Proceeding" shall include any threatened, pending or
     completed action, suit or proceeding, whether brought in the right of the
     Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or
     investigative nature, during the threat or pendency of which Indemnitee is
     or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the
     request of the Company as a director, officer, or agent of another
     corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether
     or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is
     incurred for which indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under
     this Agreement.
<PAGE>

          (b)  The term "Expenses" includes, without limitation, expense of
     investigations, judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals,
     attorneys' fees and disbursements and any expenses of establishing a right
     to indemnification under Section 11 of this Agreement, but shall not
     include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments
     or fines against Indemnitee.

          (c)  References to "other enterprise" shall include employee benefit
     plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise tax assessed with
     respect to any employee benefit plan; reference to "serving at the request
     of the Company" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee
     or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by,
     such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee
     benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in
     good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interest
     of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not
     opposed to the best interests of the Company" as referred to in this
     Agreement.

     3.   Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is
a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than a
Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor)
against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding, but
only if Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith and in a manner which
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, in addition, had no
reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.

     4.   Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  The
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 4 if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any
Proceeding by or in the right of Company to procure a judgment in its favor
against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with the defense or settlement of the Proceeding, but only if
Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company.  No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been
finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the
extent that any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity.

     5.   Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including the dismissal of an
action without prejudice, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all
Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

                                       2

     6.   Additional Indemnification.

          (a)  Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4 or 5, the Company
     shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law if
     Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any
     Proceeding, against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
     settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection
     with the Proceeding.  In any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company
     to procure a judgment in its favor, the Company shall obtain the approval
     of the Yukon Supreme Court or other court of competent jurisdiction before
     the Company may indemnify Indemnitee in such action.  No indemnity shall be
     made under this Section 6(a) on account of Indemnitee's conduct which
     constitutes a breach of Indemnitee's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
     shareholders or is an act or omission not in good faith or which involves
     intentional misconduct or a violation of the law.

          (b)  Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6(a), the
     Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law
     if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any
     Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to
     procure a judgment in its favor in the event that the Yukon Supreme Court
     or other court of competent jurisdiction approves indemnification relating
     to such Proceedings) against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
     paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
     connection with the Proceeding.

          (c)  For purposes of Sections 6(a) and 6(b), the meaning of the phrase
     "to the fullest extent permitted by law" shall include, but not be limited
     to:

               (i)  to the fullest extent permitted by the provision of the Act
          that authorizes or contemplates additional indemnification by
          agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or
          replacement of the Act, and

               (ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any
          amendments to or replacements of the Act adopted after the date of
          this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may
          indemnify its officers and directors.

     7.   Exclusions.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the
Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in
connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

          (a)  for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of
     Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except
     with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance
     policy or other indemnity provision;

          (b)  for any transaction from which Indemnitee derived an improper
     personal benefit;

                                       3
<PAGE>

          (c)  for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or
     sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the
     meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
     amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law;

          (d)  if a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall finally
     determine that such indemnification is not lawful under any applicable
     statute or public policy (and, in this respect, both the Company and
     Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission
     believes that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal
     securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable
     and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate
     courts for adjudication); or

          (e)  in connection with any Proceeding (or part of any Proceeding)
     initiated by Indemnitee, or any Proceeding by Indemnitee against the
     Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless
     (i) the Company is expressly required by law to make the indemnification,
     (ii) the Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the
     Company, (iii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole
     discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable
     law, or (iv) Indemnitee initiated the Proceeding pursuant to Section 11 of
     this Agreement and Indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in the
     Proceeding.

     8.   Advances of Expenses.  The Company shall pay the Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in any Proceeding in advance at the written request of Indemnitee, if
Indemnitee:

          (a)  furnishes the Company a written affirmation of the Indemnitee's
     good faith belief that Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by the
     Company under this Agreement; and

          (b)  furnishes the Company a written undertaking to repay the advance
     to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not
     entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Advances shall be made without
     regard to Indemnitee's ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to
     Indemnitee's ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other
     provisions of this Agreement.

     9.   Notification and Defense of Claim. Not later than thirty (30) days
after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding,
Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect of the Proceeding is to be made against
the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement of the
Proceeding. The omission to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from
any liability which it may have to Indemnitee other than under this Agreement.
With respect to any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of
the commencement:

          (a)  The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at
     its own expense.

                                       4
<PAGE>

          (b)  Except as otherwise provided below, the Company may, at its
     option and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified and
     electing to assume such defense, assume the defense of the Proceeding, with
     legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall
     have the right to use separate legal counsel in the Proceeding, but the
     Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement, including
     Section 8 above, for the fees and expenses of separate legal counsel
     incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense,
     unless (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be a conflict of
     interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense
     of the Proceeding or (ii) the Company does not use legal counsel to assume
     the defense of such Proceeding. The Company shall not be entitled to assume
     the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as
     to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (i)
     above.

          (c)  If two or more persons who may be entitled to indemnification
     from the Company, including the Indemnitee, are parties to any Proceeding,
     the Company may require Indemnitee to use the same legal counsel as the
     other parties. Indemnitee shall have the right to use separate legal
     counsel in the Proceeding, but the Company shall not be liable to
     Indemnitee under this Agreement, including Section 8 above, for the fees
     and expenses of separate legal counsel incurred after notice from the
     Company of the requirement to use the same legal counsel as the other
     parties, unless the Indemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be a
     conflict of interest between Indemnitee and any of the other parties
     required by the Company to be represented by the same legal counsel.

          (d)  The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under
     this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding
     effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
     withheld. Indemnitee shall permit the Company to settle any Proceeding the
     defense of which it assumes, except that the Company shall not settle any
     action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation
     on Indemnitee without Indemnitee's written consent, which may be given or
     withheld in Indemnitee's sole discretion.

     10.  Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.  Any indemnification
under Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6 of this Agreement shall be made no later than 90
days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee for indemnification.
However, unless it is ordered by a court in an enforcement action under Section
11 of this Agreement, no such indemnification shall be made if a determination
is made within such 90-day period by (a) the Board of Directors by a majority
vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the Proceeding,
or (b) independent legal counsel in a written opinion (which counsel shall be
appointed if a quorum is not obtainable), that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement.

     11.  Enforcement. The Indemnitee may enforce any right to indemnification
or advances granted by this Agreement to Indemnitee in any court of competent
jurisdiction if (a) the Company denies the claim for indemnification or
advances, in whole or in part, or (b) the Company does not dispose of the claim
within 90 days of a written request for indemnification or advances. Indemnitee,
in the enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be

                                       5
<PAGE>

entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. It shall be a
defense to any such enforcement action (other than an action brought to enforce
a claim for advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 8 above, if Indemnitee
has tendered to the Company the required affirmation and undertaking) that
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, but the
burden of proving this defense shall be on the Company. Neither a failure of the
Company (including its Board of Directors or its shareholders) to make a
determination prior to the commencement of the enforcement action that
indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual
determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors or its
shareholders) that indemnification is improper shall be a defense to the action
or create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement or otherwise. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment,
order of court, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

     12.  Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provisions of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or part
of the Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or
settlement of any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount, the Company
shall indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.

     13.  Nonexclusivity and Continuity of Rights. The indemnification provided
by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
Indemnitee may be entitled under the articles, the bylaws, any other agreement,
any vote of shareholders or directors, the Act, or otherwise, both as to action
in Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in other capacity while
holding office. The indemnification under this Agreement shall continue as to
Indemnitee even though Indemnitee ceases to be a director or officer and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of Indemnitee.

     14.  Severability. If this Agreement or any portion of it is invalidated on
any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with
respect to any Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion
of this Agreement that is not invalidated or by any other applicable law.

     15.  Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company
shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of
recovery of Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall execute all documents required and
shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the
Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

     16.  Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both parties. No
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of
any other provisions of this Agreement

                                       6
<PAGE>

(whether or not similar) nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver,
unless expressly stated in any waiver.

     17.  Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
(a) upon delivery if delivered by hand to the party to whom the notice or other
communication shall have been directed or (b) if mailed by certified or
registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date
on which it is so mailed:

          (i)  If to Indemnitee, at the address indicated on the signature page
of this Agreement.

          (ii) If to the Company to

               Attention: Chief Executive Officer

          or to any other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by
the Company.

     18.  Counterparts. The parties may execute this Agreement in two
counterparts, each of which shall constitute the original.

     19.  Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law of the Yukon Territory.

     20.  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Company and its successors and assigns.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be signed as
of the day and year first above written.

1.        Purpose.  The purpose of the Plan is to secure for the Corporation
and its shareholders the incentive inherent in share ownership by Eligible
Persons, who, in the opinion of the Board, will be largely responsible for the
Corporation's future growth and success.  The Plan is designed to supplement,
and not replace, any cash bonus programs to which Eligible Persons may be
entitled.

2.        Number of Shares and Lapsed Options.  Subject to adjustment as
provided below and in Section 9, the shares to be offered under the Plan shall
consist of Common Shares, and the total number of Common Shares that may be
issued under the Plan shall be 14,800,000 shares. If an Option lapses or
terminates, the unissued shares subject to such Option shall again be available
under the Plan.

          Nothing contained in this Plan shall restrict or limit or be deemed to
restrict or limit the rights or powers of the Board in connection with any
allotment and issuance of any other shares in the capital of the Corporation.

3.        Exercise Price.  The Board shall meet at least two times per year in
order to establish the Exercise Price for Options issued during the 6 months
following such meeting or during such lesser period ending at such time as the
Board shall establish a different Exercise Price for Options.  The Exercise
Price of an Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value at the time the
Exercise Price of such Option is established by the Board.

4.        Eligibility and Participation.  Options shall not be granted under
the Plan to any person other than an Eligible Person.  No Eligible Person shall
have any claim or right to be granted Options under this Plan.

5.        Grants of Options.  Subject to the Unanimous Shareholders' Agreement,
the Board shall, from time to time and in its sole discretion, determine the
Eligible Persons to whom Options are to be granted under the Plan and, in this
regard, may take into consideration the current and potential contributions of a
particular Eligible Person to the success of the Corporation, and its
Affiliates, and such other factors which the Board deems proper and relevant.
Options shall be granted by the Board in accordance with this Plan to Eligible

<PAGE>

                                      -4-

between the Corporation and the Optionee substantially in the form attached
hereto as Schedule "A" and shall be otherwise satisfactory to the Board, in its
sole discretion.  A grant of Options under the Plan shall not be construed as
giving an Optionee any right to continue in the employment of the Corporation,
or its Affiliates, nor shall it affect the right of the Corporation to terminate
the employment of any Optionee.

6.        Conditions Governing Granting and Exercising of Options.  Unless the
Board specifically determines otherwise, the Options granted to an Optionee in a
particular calendar month (the "Month of Grant") may only be exercised by the
Optionee as follows:

          (i)   not more than 25% of such Options may be exercised:

                (a)  subsequent to the Liquidity Time; and

                (b)  if the Optionee was, or has been, in the employment of, or

          (ii)  for each additional period of three (3) calendar months that the
                Optionee was, or has been, in the employment of, or a Director
                with, the Corporation following the month that is twelve (12)
                calendar months next following the Month of Grant, an additional
                6.25% of such Options may be exercised:

                (b)  subject to a maximum of 100% of the Options granted to the
                     Optionee in the Month of Grant;

          (iii) all such Options may be exercised:

                (a)  subsequent to the Liquidity Time; and

                (b)  if the Optionee was, or has been, in the employment of, or
                     a Director with, the Corporation for a period of at least
                     forty-eight (48) calendar months next following the Month

<PAGE>

                                      -5-

           (iv)  whether or not such Options are at the relevant time
                 exercisable pursuant to paragraphs (i) to (iii) of this
                 Section, all Options that have been granted to the Optionee
                 shall cease to be exercisable and shall expire upon the
                 earliest of:

                (a) the date of the expiration of the Option (which date of
                    expiration shall be, unless otherwise determined by the
                    Board, the later of (i) five years from the date the Option
                    is granted, or (ii) six months after an IPO);

                (b) the six month anniversary of the death of the Optionee while
                serving as a Director or employee of the Corporation or any of
                its Affiliates;

                (c) the end of the third (3rd) calendar month next following the
                normal retirement of the Optionee from employment with, or as a
                Director of, the Corporation or any of its Affiliates; and

                (d) immediately after the Closing Time.

          The exercise of an Option will be contingent upon receipt by the
Corporation of payment of the full Exercise Price of such Option.  No Optionee
or legal representative shall be considered to be a holder of any Common Share
subject to an Option, unless and until such Common Share has been fully paid for
and issued upon the exercise of the Option.

          For purposes of this Section, "normal retirement" shall mean the
retirement from employment of the Corporation at age 65 and shall not include
any other termination of employment (whether voluntary or involuntary).

          It is the intent of the Plan to allow for the Optionee to exercise
vested shares 90 days following an IPO or immediately prior to a sale or
liquidation of the Corporation regardless of whether the Unanimous
Shareholders' Agreement was previously terminated.

7.        Taxes.  The Corporation may require an Optionee, as a condition of
exercise of an Option, to pay to or reimburse the Corporation any taxes which
are required to be withheld and remitted by the Corporation in respect of the
exercise of such Option under any applicable law.

8.        Closing Time.  The Corporation shall provide notice to each Optionee,
at least three (3) business days prior to the date on which the Closing Time
will occur at the address for notice set forth in the Option Agreement entered
into between the Corporation and the Optionee, stating that the Options of such
Optionee shall cease to be exercisable and shall expire immediately after the
Closing Time.

9.        Changes to Shares.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan,
in the event of any change in the outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation
by reason of any stock dividend, split, recapitalization, reclassification,
amalgamation, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or
distribution of rights to holders of shares or any other form of corporate
reorganization whatsoever, an equitable adjustment shall be made to the number
of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan, to any Options then
outstanding and to the Exercise Price in respect of such
<PAGE>

                                      -6-

Options. Such adjustments shall be made by the Board in its sole discretion and,
subject to applicable law, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of
the Plan.

10.       Necessary Approvals.  The grant of Options, the obligation of the
Corporation to sell and deliver Common Shares on the exercise of Options, and
any amendments to the Plan shall be subject to any approvals required by
applicable law or regulations.  If any Common Shares cannot be issued upon the
exercise of an Option to any Optionee for any reason, then the obligation of the
Corporation to issue such Common Shares shall terminate and any payment made by
the Optionee to the Corporation in respect of the Exercise Price of such Option
shall be returned to the Optionee.

11.       Administration of the Plan.  Subject to the Unanimous Shareholders'
Agreement, the Board may interpret the Plan and make all other determinations
that it considers in its sole discretion to be necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan.  Subject to the Unanimous Shareholders' Agreement,
the Board may, in its sole discretion, prescribe, adopt, amend and rescind rules
and regulations for carrying out and administering the Plan.  The interpretation
and construction of any provision of the Plan by the Board shall be final and
conclusive.  The administration of the Plan shall be the responsibility of the
appropriate officers of the Corporation duly designated for the purposes thereof
by the Board and all costs in respect thereof shall be paid by the Corporation.

12.       Amendments, etc. to Plan.  Subject to obtaining any consents or
approvals required by applicable law or regulation or unanimous shareholders'
agreement of the Corporation, if any, the Board may amend, modify or terminate
the Plan at any time if and when it considers it to be advisable to do so in its
sole discretion, except with respect to any Option then outstanding under the
Plan.

13.       No Undertaking or Representation.  The Corporation makes no
undertaking or representation as to the future value or price, or as to the
listing on any stock exchange, of any Common Shares issued in accordance with
the Plan.

14.       Governing Law and Interpretation.  The Plan will be governed by, and
be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario and the
federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

15.       Compliance with Applicable Law, etc..  If any provision of the Plan
or any Option contravenes any applicable law or regulation, then such provision
shall be deemed to be amended to the extent required to bring such provision
into compliance therewith.

16.       Assignability and Transferability.  Options (and any rights
thereunder) shall not be assignable or transferable otherwise than by will or
pursuant to the laws of
<PAGE>

                                      -7-

succession or descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of an Optionee,
shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. The Common Shares under Option may
not be hypothecated, collateralized, assigned or transferred by the Optionee.

17.       Enurement.  The Plan shall enure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the Corporation, its Affiliates, and their respective successors and
assigns.  The Plan shall enure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, an
Optionee and the heirs, executors, administrators and personal representative of
an Optionee.
