                            GROWTHEXPERTS GROUP INC.

                             2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN

   1. Purpose of Plan.  This 2000 Stock Option Plan ("Plan") seeks to secure and
retain key employees,  officers and  consultants  responsible for the success of
GrowthExperts Group Inc., a corporation (the "Company").  Through this Plan, the
Company  intends to motivate  such persons to exert their best efforts on behalf
of the  Company,  to  encourage  stock  ownership,  to provide such persons with
greater concern for the Company's welfare, and to offer an incentive to continue
their  service  with the  Company.  Options  issued  pursuant  to this  Plan may
constitute  either  "incentive stock options" as defined in the Revenue Codes of
Canada and or USA Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended
(the "Code") ("Incentive Stock Options") or other stock options  ("Non-Statutory
Stock Options").  All forms of Incentive Stock Options and  Non-Statutory  Stock
Options  may be granted  under this Plan;  an option that does not qualify as an
Incentive  Stock Option for any reason shall be a  Non-Statutory  Stock  Option.
Unless the context requires  otherwise,  when  capitalized and used herein,  the
term "Option" means all forms of Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock
Options issued pursuant to this Plan.

     2. Stock Subject to the Plan.  Consistent  with this Plan,  the Company may
issue Options to purchase shares of Company common stock ("Common Stock"),  with
no par value or such value as set forth therein(the "Shares").

          2.1.  Total  Shares  Issuable.  The total  number of Shares issue able
     pursuant to this Plan shall be _1,750,000__ shares of Company Common Stock,
     subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8.

          2.2.  Expiration  of Plan.  No Option shall be granted under this Plan
     after __April 1, , 2010 [ten years after adoption of this Plan].

          2.3. Reissuance.  If any outstanding Option under this Plan expires or
     is terminated for any reason, the Shares underlying the unexercised portion
     of such Option may again be optioned under this Plan.

     3.   Administration.   The  Plan  shall  be  administered  by  a  committee
("Committee") appointed by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").

          3.1.  Composition  of Committee.  The  Committee  shall consist of the
     entire Board or persons  appointed by the Board,  which may include members
     of the Board.  The initial  Committee  members,  duly authorized  hereunto,
     shall consist of the President  acting  individually or in concert with the
     Chairman.

          3.2. Quorum and Decisions. The decision of a majority of those present
     at any meeting of the Committee where a quorum  consisting of a majority of
     the Committee is present shall constitute the decision of the Committee.

          3.3.  Compliance  with  Revenue  Canada  Rules  and  USA  Rule  16b-3.
     Transactions  under this Plan are  intended to comply  with all  applicable
     conditions of Revenue  Canada Rules and USA Rule 16b-3 or their  successors
     promulgated  by  Revenue  Canada  or  the  U.S.   Securities  and  Exchange

<PAGE>

     Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
     Act").  To the extent any  provision of the Plan or action by the Committee
     fails to so  comply,  it shall be  deemed  null  and  void,  to the  extent
     permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

     4.  Authority of Committee.  Subject to the  designations  of persons to be
granted options under this Plan pursuant to Schedule 1 attached hereto (the "ISO
Individuals")  and  vesting of Options  under the Plan  pursuant  to  Schedule 2
attached  hereto (the "ISO  Vesting  Schedule"),  the  Committee  has  exclusive
discretion:

          4.1. to determine the terms and  conditions  of Options  granted under
     the Plan,  such as the exercise price,  payment terms and expiration  date;
     such terms and  conditions  need not be  identical  as  between  Options or
     Optionees;

          4.4. to interpret the Plan and the Options granted under the Plan;

          4.5.  to  adopt,  amend and  rescind  rules  and  regulations  for the
     administration of the Plan insofar as it relates to Options; and

          4.6. to direct the Company to issue Stock Option Certificates pursuant
     to the Plan.

Actions of the Committee  shall be consistent  with this Plan and shall bind all
Plan participants.

     5.  Eligibility.  Only Company  employees  officers,  and  consultants  are
eligible to participate in this Plan.

     6. Terms and  Conditions  for All Options.  All Options  granted under this
Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, including all of
the following:

          6.1  Option  Certificate.   Optionees  will  receive  a  Stock  Option
     Certificate  ("Certificate")  enumerating the specific terms and conditions
     of their Options.

          6.2 Fair Market Value.  For purposes of this Plan, "Fair Market Value"
     of the Shares upon exercise of an Option (the  "Exercise  Shares") shall be
     determined  as  follows:

               6.2.1.  If  the  Shares  are  listed  on a  securities  exchange,
          admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a securities  exchange,  or
          quoted  on  the  National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc.
          ("NASD")  system,  that reports closing prices,  the Fair Market Value
          shall be the  closing  price of the  Shares  as  reported  by the Wall
          Street  Journal on the day the Fair Market  Value is to be  determined
          (or the last closing  price  reported  prior to such day if no closing
          price is reported for that day);

               6.2.2.  If the  Shares are not so listed,  admitted  to  unlisted
          trading  privileges,  or so quoted, the Fair Market Value shall be the
          average of the last  reported  highest bid and the lowest asked prices
          quoted on the NASD Automated  Quotations  System or, if not so quoted,
          then by the  National  Quotation  Bureau,  Inc.,  or  other  Quotation
          Service  on the day the fair  market  value is  determined;  or

<PAGE>

               6.2.3.  Otherwise,  the Fair Market Value shall be  determined in
          such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Committee.

          6.3  Exercise  Period.  Consistent  with the  Plan  and the  Schedules
     attached  thereto,  the  Certificate  will specify when the Option  becomes
     exercisable  ("Vests") and when the Option expires ("Expiration Date"). The
     Option may be  exercised  after  Vesting  and before  the  Expiration  Date
     ("Exercise Period"). No Option may be exercised after its expiration.

          6.4 Maximum Exercise Period.  No Option may be exercised more than ten
     years  after the date it was  granted.  A shorter  Exercise  Period  may be
     specified by other provisions of this Plan or by the Certificate.

          6.5 Manner of  Exercise.  Options may be exercised  by  delivering  an
     executed Exercise Form (provided with the Certificate) or written statement
     to the Committee or a member thereof with full payment for all Shares to be
     issued  pursuant  to the  exercise.  All  Options  shall be  exercised  for
     multiples  of 100 Shares or the total number of Shares for which the Option
     is then exercisable.  The Board of Directors,  and the Company's  officers,
     shall take appropriate action required for delivery of Shares in accordance
     with any exercise of Options under this Plan.

          6.6 Payment.  Payment shall be tendered in cash, by certified check or
     by any other payment method authorized by the Committee.  The Committee has
     sole discretion to authorize other methods of payment, such as a promissory
     note, cashless exercise,  surrender of other Company Shares or cancellation
     of other Shares underlying Optionee's vested Options.  Optionees shall have
     rights to  dividends  or other  shareholder  rights with  respect to Shares
     underlying an Option only after the Company  receives full payment for such
     Shares.

          6.7. Death of Optionee.  If an Optionee  dies, any Options  previously
     granted to the Optionee shall be exercisable only as to that portion of the
     Option  that had Vested by the date of  Optionee's  death.  Any such Vested
     Options shall expire on the earlier of three years after  Optionee's  death
     or the  Expiration  Date.  Such Vested  Options shall be exercisable by the
     personal representative or administrator of the deceased Optionee's estate,
     or  by  any  trustee,  heir,  legatee  or  beneficiary  (collectively,  the
     "Optionee's  Legal  Representative")  who shall  have  acquired  the Vested
     Option  directly  from the  Optionee  by will or by the laws of descent and
     distribution.  Prior  to  the  exercise  of any  such  Vested  Option,  the
     Optionee's  Legal  Representative  shall furnish to the Company an executed
     Exercise  Form together with a certified  copy of letters  testamentary  or
     other proof deemed  sufficient  by the  Committee of the right of the legal
     representative  to  exercise  such  Vested  Option in  accordance  with the
     provisions of this Plan.

          6.8 Disability.  If an Optionee's employment ceases due to disability,
     then  Optionee's  Vested  Options  shall expire on the earlier of three (3)
     years after Optionee  becomes  disabled or the Expiration Date. An Optionee
     shall  be  considered  to be  disabled  if a  qualified  medical  physician
     approved  by the  Company  certifies  that the  Optionee  is  unable  to be
     gainfully employed by the Company by reason of a diagnosed and determinable
     physical or mental

<PAGE>

     impairment  which can be  expected to result in death or has lasted and can
     be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

          6.9  Retirement.  If an  Optionee  retires  from  employment  with the
     Company,  then the Optionee's Vested Options shall expire on the earlier of
     three (3) years after Optionee retires or the Expiration Date.

          6.10 Termination of Employment. When an Optionee's employment with the
     Company is terminated for any reason whatsoever, unless otherwise specified
     in the Certificate,  Optionee's  Vested Options shall expire on the earlier
     of three (3) years after termination or the Expiration Date.

          6.11 Leave of  Absence.  A leave of  absence  duly  authorized  by the
     Company shall not be deemed a termination of employment.

          6.12.  Non-transferability of Options.  During Optionee's lifetime, an
     Option may only be exercised by the Optionee.  No Option may be transferred
     other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

          6.13.  Minimum  Holding  Period.  This  Plan,  the  Committee  or  the
     Certificate may impose a holding period on Shares acquired upon exercise of
     an Stock Option.

          6.14.  Transfer  Restrictions on Shares.  Unless  registered under the
     Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), or applicable Canadian Rules
     and  Regulations,  all Shares  acquired  upon  exercise of an Option  shall
     constitute "restricted  securities" (as defined in SEC Rule 144 promulgated
     by the SEC under the USA Securities Act or Canada Rule and Regulations). As
     restricted  securities,  such Shares may only be offered for sale,  sold or
     otherwise   transferred  except  pursuant  to  an  effective   registration
     statement  under  the  applicable  Securities  Act(s),  or  pursuant  to an
     exemption from registration under the applicable Securities Act(s) or Rules
     and Regulations;  the availability of such exemption must be established to
     the satisfaction of the Company. The certificates  representing such Shares
     will bear a legend stating these restrictions.

          6.15. Other Representations and Warranties.  As a further condition to
     exercising  any  Option,  the  Company  may require an Optionee to make any
     representation  and  warranty  to the  Company  as may be  required  by any
     applicable law or regulation.

     7. Special Terms and Conditions for Incentive Stock Options. In addition to
the terms and  conditions  contained in Section 6, all  Incentive  Stock Options
shall also be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

          7.1. Eligible Parties.  Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to
     eligible Company employees, officers, directors and consultants.

          7.2.  Exercise Price. The Option's per Share purchase price ("Exercise
     Price")  shall be  determined  by the  Committee but shall not be less than
     100% of the determined Share's Fair Market Value on the grant date.

<PAGE>

          7.3.  Maximum  Grant.  The  aggregate  Fair Market Value of the Shares
     underlying  Incentive  Stock Options granted to any Optionee that Vest in a
     particular calendar year shall not exceed $5,000,000.  For purposes of such
     limitation,  the aggregate  Fair Market Value of Shares shall be determined
     as of the grant date and the  limitations  shall be applied by  considering
     Incentive Stock Options in the order granted.

          7.4. More than 50% Shareholder. All Incentive Stock Options granted to
     persons owning more than 50% of all classes of the Company's  capital stock
     (as calculated in accordance with Canadian Rules and Regulations or USA IRC
     '424(d)) must also satisfy the following conditions:

               7.4.1.  Exercise Price:  The Exercise Price must be at least 110%
          of the Shares' Fair Market Value on the grant date;

               7.4.2.  Expiration.  The Expiration  Date must be within five (5)
          years after the Incentive Stock Option's grant date.

          7.5.  Shareholder  Approval.  For any Options to receive  treatment as
     Incentive Stock Options,  this Plan must be approved by the majority of the
     Company's  shareholders  within a year after  adoption  of this Plan by the
     Company's Board of Directors.  Such approval may be obtained either through
     an ordinary resolution at a shareholder meeting or by written consent.

Any Options not satisfying these conditions may be treated as Nonstatutory Stock
Options.

     8. Adjustments upon Recapitalization or Merger. If, through  consolidation,
merger,  subdivision,  reclassification,  amalgamation or otherwise, the Company
issues additional  capital stock or effects any reorganization of its authorized
capital  then there shall  automatically  be an  adjustment  in the terms of any
Options so that thereafter terms of the amended Options will be equivalent as is
reasonably possible to the initial Option terms.

     9. Use of Proceeds.  Proceeds  from the exercise of Options  granted  under
this Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company and may be used for such
general corporate purposes as the Company's Board of Directors shall determine.

     10. Reservation of Shares for Issuance. At all times during the duration of
this Plan, the Company shall reserve and keep available such number of Shares as
will be sufficient to satisfy the  requirements of all Options granted  pursuant
to this Plan,  and shall pay all original  issue and transfer taxes with respect
to the issuance of shares  pursuant to the exercise of such  Options,  and shall
pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses  necessarily  incurred in connection
with the exercise of such Options and the issuance of such Shares.

     11.  Amendments.  The Board of Directors may amend,  alter,  or discontinue
this Plan, but no amendment,  alteration or discontinuation  shall be made which
would impair the rights of any Optionee  under any Options  previously  granted,
without  the  Optionee's  consent,  or  which,   without  the  approval  of  the
Shareholders, would:

<PAGE>

          11.1.  except as provided in Section 8,  increase  the total number of
     Shares issuable under the Plan (section 2.1);

          11.2. modify the provisions of the Plan relating to eligibility; or

          11.3.   increase  the  aggregate  Fair  Market  Value  of  the  Shares
     underlying the Incentive Stock Options which may be granted under this Plan
     to any person and which  become  exercisable  in any year to an amount over
     $5,000,000.

     12. Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as
they may have as directors,  Committee  members and the Board of Directors shall
be indemnified by the Company against reasonable expenses,  including attorneys'
fees,  actually  incurred in connection with the defense of any action,  suit or
proceeding, or in connection with any appeal there from, to which they or any of
them may be a party by reason of any action  taken or failure to act under or in
connection with this Plan or any Option granted  hereunder,  or Shares purchased
pursuant to the  exercise of an Option,  and against all amounts paid by them in
settlement  thereof  (provided such settlement is approved by independent  legal
counsel  selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of judgment in
any  action,  suit or  proceeding,  except in relation to matters as to which it
shall be adjudged in such action,  suit or  proceeding,  that such member of the
Board of Directors is liable for gross negligence,  fraud or willful  misconduct
in the performance of the director's  duties,  so long as within sixty (60) days
after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding,  the director shall in
writing  offer the  Company the  opportunity,  at its own  expense,  to hand and
defend such action, suit or proceeding.

          is materially  incapacitated from fully performing his duties pursuant
          to this Amended  Agreement by reason of illness,  disability  or other
          incapacity or by reason of any statute,  law,  ordinance,  regulation,
          order,  judgment  or  decree,  Employer  may  terminate  this  Amended
          Agreement  upon payment to Executive of such sum as payable  under the
          Termination provisions as set forth herein.

          For the purposes of Section 10(b) hereof,  "materially  incapacitated"
          shall mean any  condition  of  Executive  which  would  reasonably  be
          expected to have a significant  effect on his ability to fully perform
          his  duties as set out in  Section 1 hereof  for a period in excess of
          sixty (60) days.

     (c)  Cause -  Notwithstanding  any other  term of this  Amended  Agreement,
          Employer may discharge  Executive and terminate this Amended Agreement
          at any time for  just  cause  without  any  termination  compensation,
          payment  or   liability   whatsoever   to   Executive   and,  in  such
          circumstance,  Executive will be entitled to receive all  compensation
          and benefits provided to Executive hereunder which have accrued to the
          date of termination.  Just cause includes,  but is not limited to: (i)
          willful  breach by Executive  of a material  provision of this Amended
          Agreement,  and (ii) serious misconduct  incompatible with Executive's
          duties hereunder or prejudicial to Employer's business.

     (d)  Without Cause - This Amended Agreement and the employment relationship
          hereunder may be terminated by Employer  without cause, for any reason
          and at any time,  upon thirty (30) days written  notice of termination
          to  Executive.  Executive  shall be  entitled  to receive  besides all
          accrued compensation and benefits, severance compensation equal to two
          (2)  months  salary  for each  calendar  year or  portion  thereof  of
          employment. Such sum shall be payable, at the sole option of Employer,
          in equal  monthly  installments  over a three (3) month period or in a
          lump sum payment to Executive.

     (e)  Limitation on Liability - Notwithstanding  any other provision of this
          Amended Agreement, Employer's maximum liability for any breach of this
          Amended Agreement  including,  but not limited to, termination with or
          without cause and/or notice, will be no more than the compensation set
          out in  Section 10 or such sum as  awarded  according  to the terms of
          Section 21 hereof.

11. Change of Control of Corporation.  In the event that Executive resigns or is
terminated  with or without  cause within six (6) months of the date of a Change
of Control of the Corporation:

     (a)  Employer shall pay,  within fifteen (15) days after the effective date
          of the Change of Control Resignation,  to or to the order of Executive
          a lump sum payment  equal to two (2) months  salary for each  calendar
          year or portion thereof of employment (less any deductions required by
          law); and

     (2)  All Unexercised Rights held by Executive shall be accelerated so that,
          notwithstanding any provisions of any resolution, by-law, this Amended
          Agreement,  contract or instrument  pertaining  to or  evidencing  the
          Unexercised  Rights to the  contrary,  the  Unexercised  Rights  shall
          become  immediately  exercisable  and shall  remain  exercisable  upon
          notice by Executive for a period of six (6) months  following the date
          of the Change of Control Resignation, and this Amended Agreement shall
          evidence any such amended  agreement of Employer and Executive to such
          acceleration  as may be required  under,  pursuant to or in connection
          with the Unexercised  Rights or any documents or instruments  creating
          or governing such Unexercised Rights.

For the purpose of Section 11 hereof,  the following  words and phrases have the
following meanings:

          (i)  "Change of Control"  means any change,  but for the  contemplated
               Amalgamation and the transactions  related directly  thereto,  in

               of which a  person,  or a group of  persons,  or  persons  acting
               jointly or in concert,  or persons  associated or affiliated with

               number that,  directly or indirectly  (assuming the conversion of
               any  convertible  securities  and  the  exercise  of any  option,
               warrant or other  right to  acquire  shares of  Employer),  would
               entitle  the  holders  thereof to cast more than 50% of the votes
               attaching  to all  shares of  Employer  that may be cast to elect
               directors of Employer, or by Amended Agreement of the Corporation
               as to  control  shall be deemed to be in a position  to  exercise
               effect control of Employer;

          (ii) "Change of Control  Resignation"  means  Executive's  resignation
               from  Employer  within  six (6) months of the date of a Change of
               Control; and

          (iii)"Unexercised   Rights"   means   securities  or  rights  held  by
               Executive  that  are  convertible   into  or   exchangeable   for
               securities  of shares of  Employer  or any  affiliate  thereof or
               options,  rights, warrants or other entitlements for the purchase
               or  acquisition  of shares of Employer or any  affiliate  thereof
               that are not then exercisable.

12.  Prohibitions  Against  Assignments.  Executive  is at liberty to assign any
benefits  Executive may be entitled to under this Amended Agreement to any party
including his estate or a family related trust but is precluded from  delegating
to others,  without the prior  consent of the Board,  any of his  functions  and
duties hereunder.

13. Confidential  Information.  Executive will not divulge to any person, use to
the detriment of Employer or any of its  affiliates or  subsidiaries,  or use in
any business  competitive  with or similar to any business of Employer or any of
its  affiliates or  subsidiaries,  at any time during  employment by Employer or
thereafter,  any trade secrets or confidential  information  obtained during the
course of his  employment  with  Employer,  without first  obtaining the written
permission of the Board.  Confidential  information shall include, without being
limited to, the following:

     (a)  trade secrets;
     (b)  the names, addresses,  telephone numbers and telefax(s) of the present

time Executive leaves the employ of Employer, Executive will deliver to Employer
and not keep or deliver to anyone else any and all notes, notebooks,  memoranda,
documents and, in general, any and all material belonging to Employer.

14. Restrictions on Competition

     (a)  During  the  period  of  Executive's  employment,  and for a period of
          twelve  (12)  months   following  the   termination  of  this  Amended
          Agreement,  Executive  shall not,  anywhere in North America or in any
          other  country  in  which  the  Corporation   does  business,   accept
          employment  or render  service  to any  person,  firm or  corporation,
          directly or indirectly,  in competition with Employer or any affiliate
          thereof or,  directly or indirectly,  enter into or in any manner take
          part in or lend  his  name,  counsel  or  assistance  to any  venture,
          enterprise,  business or endeavor,  either as  proprietor,  principal,
          investor, partner, director, officer, employee,  consultant,  advisor,
          agent, independent contractor, or in any other capacity whatsoever for
          any purpose which

                                       4
<PAGE>

          would be  competitive  with the business of Employer or any  affiliate
          thereof,  or any of their respective  successors;  provided,  however,
          that the  foregoing  shall not be deemed to  prohibit  Executive  from
          acquiring an equity  interest in any company,  the shares of which are
          listed on any national stock exchange.

     (b)  During a period of twelve (12) months  following  the  termination  of
          this Amended Agreement, without first obtaining the written consent of
          Employer,  which  consent  will not be  arbitrarily  and  unreasonably
          withheld, Executive shall not:

          (i)  solicit  any person or  corporation  who has been a  customer  or
               client of  Employer  during the twelve  (12)  months  immediately
               preceding the date of termination of this Amended Agreement; or

          (ii) solicit  or hire any  person who has been  employed  by  Employer
               during the twelve (12) months immediately  proceeding the date of
               the termination of this Amended Agreement.

     (c)  If the geographic  area of restriction set forth above in this Section
          14 shall be deemed or determined to be unreasonable  or  unenforceable
          by a Court of competent jurisdiction,  Executive agrees and submits to
          the reduction of the geographic area of restriction to such geographic
          area of  restriction  as the Court  shall  deem to be  reasonable  and
          enforceable.

     (d)  Executive  acknowledges  and agrees that the foregoing time limits are
          reasonable  and properly  required for the adequate  protection of the
          business of the Employer, and in the event that any time limitation is
          deemed to be  unreasonable  or  unenforceable  by a Court of competent
          jurisdiction,  Executive  agrees and submits to the  reduction  of the
          time  limitation  to  such  period  as  the  Court  shall  deem  to be
          reasonable and enforceable.

     (e)  Executive agrees that the restrictions and covenants contained in this
          Section 14 shall be construed  independent  of any other  provision of
          this  Amended  Agreement,  and the  existence of any claim or cause of
          action by  Executive  against  Employer,  whether  predicated  on this
          Amended Agreement or otherwise,  shall not constitute a defense to the
          enforcement  by Employer of the  covenants or  restrictions  contained
          herein, provided however that if any provision hereof shall be held to
          be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by a Court of
          competent  jurisdiction,  such  decision  shall not  effect  any other
          covenants or provisions of this Amended  Agreement or the  application
          of any other covenant or provision.

     (f)  Executive  acknowledges that the restrictions and covenants  contained
          herein will not materially effect Executive's  ability to obtain other
          employment.

     (g)  Executive  agrees that Employer has a material  interest in preserving
          the   relationships  it  has  developed  with  its  customers  against
          impairment   by   competitive   activities   of  a  former   employee.
          Accordingly,  Executive  agrees that the  restrictions  and  covenants
          contained in this Section 14 and Executive's  Amended  Agreement to it
          constitute  a  material  inducement  to  Employer  to enter  into this
          Amended  Agreement  and to  employ  Executive  and  to  pay  Executive
          compensation  for the services to be rendered to Employer by Executive
          (it  being   understood   and  agreed  by  the  parties   hereto  that
          compensation  shall also be paid and received in consideration of this
          Amended Agreement) and that Employer would not enter into this Amended
          Agreement absent such inducement.

15. Injunction  Executive  understands and agrees that the Employer shall suffer
irreparable  harm  in the  event  that  Executive  breaches  any of  Executive's
obligations under Sections 13 and 14 of this Amended Agreement and that monetary
damages  shall be  inadequate  to  compensate  the  Employer  for  such  breach.
Accordingly,  Executive  agrees  that,  in the event of a breach  or  threatened
breach by Executive of any of the  provisions  of this  Amended  Agreement,  the
Employer, in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights,  remedies or
damages  available  to it at law or in equity,  shall be  entitled to an interim
injunction,  interlocutory  injunction  and  permanent  injunction  in  order to
prevent  or  restrain  any  such  breach  by  Executive,  employers,  employees,
servants, agents, representatives and any and all persons directly or indirectly
acting for, on behalf of or with Executive.

16.  Severability.  If any covenant or other provision of this Amended Agreement
is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law
or public policy, then such covenant or other provision will be severed from and
will not affect any other  covenant or other  provision of this  Agreement,  and
thisAmended  Agreement  will  be  construed  as if  such  invalid,  illegal,  or
unenforceable  covenant or  provision  had never been  contained in this Amended
Agreement.  All other  covenants and provisions of this Amended  Agreement will,
nevertheless,  remain in full force and effect and no covenant or provision will
be deemed  dependent  upon any other  covenant or provision  unless so expressed
herein.

17.  Governing  Law.  This Amended  Agreement  will be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia. All parties hereby
at torn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of British Columbia.

18.  Non-Assignability.  Subject to the  provisions  of Section 12, this Amended
Agreement  shall not be assigned by either party to this  Agreement  without the
prior written consent of the other party to this Agreement. .

19. No Waiver.  The failure of a party to insist upon  strict  adherence  to any
term of this Amended  Agreement on any occasion  will not be considered a waiver
and will not deprive  that party of the right to insist upon  adherence  to that
term or any other term of this  Amended  Agreement.  Any waiver or  amendment to
this Amended Agreement will be in writing.

20.  Withholdings.  All  compensation  provided by Employer  under this  Amended
Agreement  is subject to any and all  withholding  by  Employer  as  required by
applicable  law. In any event,  Executive will be responsible for payment of any
and all taxes in respect of any payments or benefits provided herein.

21.  Arbitration.  If any dispute  arises  between  the parties to this  Amended
Agreement  and is not resolved  amicably  between the parties,  then the dispute
will be  submitted  to a single  arbitrator  to be agreed upon by the parties to
that  dispute;  but,  if a single  arbitrator  cannot be agreed  upon within two
business days after the appointment of the single  arbitrator has been requested
by one of the  parties,  then the  dispute  will be referred to a board of three
arbitrators,  one to be  appointed  by each  party  to the  dispute  and a third
arbitrator to be appointed by the first two named  arbitrators.  If either party
to the dispute refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator  within two business
days after the other party to the dispute has appointed an  arbitrator,  and has
served  written  notice upon the other so refusing or  neglecting  to appoint an
arbitrator  requiring that party to make such  appointment,  then the arbitrator
first  appointed will, at the request of the party  appointing  him,  proceed to
hear and  determine the dispute as if he were a single  arbitrator  appointed by
both parties to the dispute for that purpose.  If two  arbitrators  are so named
within the time  prescribed and the  arbitrators do not agree within a period of
two business days upon the  appointment of the third  arbitrator,  then upon the
application  of  either  party to the  dispute,  the  third  arbitrator  will be
appointed by a Judge of the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The determination
made by the arbitrators or a majority of them, or by the single  arbitrator,  as
the case may be, will be final and binding upon the parties to the dispute.  The
costs  of the  third or  single  arbitrator,  as the case may be,  will be borne
equally by the parties to the  dispute,  and each of the  parties  will bear the
costs of the arbitrator appointed by him. The provisions of this Section 21 will
be deemed to be a  "submission"  to  arbitration  within the  provisions  of the
Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia), except that any limitation on the
remuneration  of  arbitrators   imposed  by  that   legislation  will  not  have
application to any arbitration proceedings commenced pursuant to this Agreement.

22.  Entire  Amended  Agreement.  Other than any stock  option  agreement(s)  or
agreements  related  to  benefits  payable  hereunder,  this  Amended  Agreement
constitutes the entire Amended  Agreement of the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof, and supersedes all previous Amended Agreements, arrangements, and
understandings,  whether  express or implied,  relating  to the  subject  matter
hereof. No other Amended Agreements,  oral, implied or otherwise,  regarding the
subject matter of this Amended  Agreement will be deemed to exist or bind either
of the parties hereto.

counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed to be an original  and all of which
taken  together  shall be  deemed  to  constitute  one and the same  instrument.
Counterparts  may be  executed  either in original or faxed form and the parties
adopt any signatures  received by a receiving fax machine as original signatures
of the parties;  provided,  however,  that any party  providing its signature in
such manner shall promptly  forward to the other party an original of the signed
