	10.	
The
Company’s Merger, Reorganization, Etc. If, during the option period
but before Grantee has exercised all of the option rights with regard to the total number
of Shares available for purchase by Grantee, the Sharers of the Company’s common
stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or different kind of shares or
other securities, either the Company’s or those of another company, this Agreement
shall remain in force. However, there shall be substituted for each of the Shares the
number and kind of shares or other securities for which each Share of the Company’s
common stock was exchanged or into which each Share was changed. The shares or securities
substituted for each Share of the Company’s common stock may be purchased by Grantee
under this Agreement for a price appropriately adjusted for the substituted securities. 

     	11.	
          Declaration of Stock Dividends. If the Company issues a
          common stock dividend on the Company’s common stock, the number of Shares
          that may be purchased by Grantee thereafter shall be adjusted as follows: To
          each of the unpurchased Shares, there shall be added the number of Shares issued
          as a dividend on each Share of outstanding common stock; each of the Shares
          together with the additional Shares applicable to that Share shall be bought as
          one unit for the price set out for each of the Shares in Paragraph 5.

          Paragraphs 10 and 11, a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors may
          make such changes in the Shares available for purchase under this Agreement as
          the Board of Directors deems appropriate. Any adjustment in the Shares available
          for purchase made in accordance with this Paragraph shall be binding upon
          Grantee.

          The Company’s Liquidation, Dissolution, Etc. If the

          at least one month’s notice prior to the liquidation, dissolution, merger,
          or consolidation. Grantee shall have the right to exercise this Option in full,
          to the extent that is had not been previously exercised, within the one-month
          period. To the extent that Grantee’s option rights have not been exercised
          on the effective date of the liquidation, dissolution, merger, or consolidation,
          they shall terminate. 

          

     	14.	
          Manner in Which Option Is Exercised During Grantee’s
          Lifetime. Any of Grantee’s option rights may be exercised by
          Grantee or Grantee’s personal representative during Grantee’s lifetime
          by written notice addressed to the Company’s corporate Secretary, signed by
          Grantee or Grantee’s personal representative. The notice shall state the
          number of Shares to be purchased and shall be accompanied by a certified check
          payable to the Company for the purchase price of Shares purchased. Immediately
          following payment of the check, the Company shall issue a certificate or
          certificates for the Shares purchased in Grantee’s or Grantee’s
          personal representative’s name and deliver it or them to the person who
          signed the notice. 

          

     	15.	
          Manner in Which Option Is Exercised After Grantee’s
          Death. If Grantee has not fully exercised the option rights
          before Grantee’s death, then the persons designated by Grantee in writing
          on file with the Company or, if no such persons have been designated,
          Grantee’s executor or administrator may exercise any of Grantee’s
          option rights during the option period. The rights shall be exercised in the
          same manner as provided in Paragraph 14 except that the person entitled to
          exercise the rights shall be substituted for Grantee or Grantee’s personal
          representative. 

          

     	16.	
          Violation of Law. The Option granted by this Agreement may
          not be exercised if its exercise would violate any applicable state securities
          law, any registration under or any requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
          as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules of an
          exchange on which the Shares are traded, any other federal law, or any law of
          applicable state securities laws. 

          

     	17.	
          Unregistered Stock. If a registration statement for the
          Shares is not in effect or if Grantee’s attorneys require a writing from
          Grantee to avoid violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
          Company may require a written commitment form the person exercising the Option
          before delivery of the certificate or certificates for the Shares. The
          Commitment shall be in a form prescribed by the Company. It will state that it
          is the intent of the person exercising the Option to acquire the Shares for
          investment only and not the intent of transferring or reselling them; that the
          person exercising the Option has been told that the Shares may be
          “restricted shares” pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and
          Exchange Commission and that any resale, transfer, or other distribution of the
          Shares may only be made on conformity with Rule 144, the Securities Act of 1933,
          as amended, or any other federal statute, rule or regulation. The Company may
          place a legend on the face of the certificate or certificates in accordance with
          this Commitment and may refuse to permit transfer of the Shares unless it
          receives satisfactory evidence that the transfer will not violate Rule 144, the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other federal statute, rule, or
          regulation. 

          

        Signed
at Maple Ridge, BC on the 15 day of November, 2004
