                                   Article VI
                                    BENEFITS

                                  STOCK OPTIONS

7.1 The Employee may be granted stock  options in the Shares of the  Corporation
from  time to time,  at the sole  discretion  of the Board of  Directors  of the
Corporation.  Any stock options  granted to the Employee shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of the  Corporation's  stock option plan, as may be amended
by the  Corporation at its sole  discretion from time to time, and the terms and
conditions  of any  applicable  stock option  agreement.  Any stock option grant
awarded  to  the  Employee,  together  with  the  terms  and  conditions  of the
Corporation's  Stock  Option  Plan  shall be  attached  to this  Agreement  when
granted, as Schedule "D".

<PAGE>

article  9.1  (a)  or  article  10.2  of  this  Agreement,  shall  forthwith  be
accelerated. These accelerated options which will then be vested, as well as any
then vested  options which have not yet been  exercised,  will be exercisable up
until the end of the time for  exercising  options as set out under the original
Option  Agreement under which they were granted as if the Employee's  employment
and/or office  continued for the 30 days notice  required under article 10.1 and
the severance  period  applicable  under the provisions of article 9 (a) (i) for
the  calculation of the retiring  allowance.  In the event the stock option plan
under which the option agreements were granted needs to be amended,  to put into
effect the provisions of this article 7.2, then the Corporation agrees that on a
best  efforts  basis  it will  make  applications  to the  necessary  regulatory
authorities  and stock  exchanges  to obtain the  amendment of said stock option
plan. In the event that for any reason the Corporation is not able to obtain the
consent of the regulatory authorities and stock exchange to the amendment of the
stock  option  plan as may be required  by this  article 7.2 , then  Corporation
agrees to  compensate  the  Employee on the basis that the stock  options  shall
notionally  continue to exist for exercise  under the provisions of this article
7.2 and Employee will still be notionally entitled to exercise his stock options
as provided  for in this  article 7.2 , but instead of the  Corporation  issuing
shares in the name of the Employee on the  exercise of the option,  it shall pay
cash  compensation  to the Employee  equivalent  to the  difference  between the
option  price of the  share  option  notionally  exercised  and the value of the
shares of the Corporation as traded on the market at the close of trading on the
day the notice of notional  exercise of the option is given to the  Corporation.
All future share options agreements that shall be granted to the Employee by the
Corporation  shall be deemed to have been attached and form part of Schedule "D"
and will be deemed to be subject to the terms of this article 7.2.

                                  Article VIII

acknowledges   and  agrees   that  the   execution   by  the   Employee  of  the

engaged or concerned or interested in any business  which is in  competition  to
the  Business   conducted  by  the  Corporation  or  any  Related   Corporation.
Notwithstanding  the  provisions of this Article  13.1,  nothing set out in this
Article 13.1 shall prevent the Employee from being a shareholder  only,  holding

conflict with his obligations to Corporation,  whether that conflict be apparent
or real,  Employee shall in writing  disclose that interest to the the Board who
shall then be  requested  to obtain and provide a legal  opinion to the Employee
and  Corporation  as to  whether  or not the  interest  declared  constitutes  a
conflict of interest.  During the period of time prior to the  provision of said
legal opinion,  Employee  shall be entitled to continue to fully  participate in
his duties as  described  hereunder  with the proviso that in the event that any
matter relating to the declared conflict of interest arises,  the Employee shall
recuse himself from any discussion in respect to that matter. The Employee shall
provide a report in  writing  on a weekly  basis  until  the  legal  opinion  is
received,  of  situations  in  which a  recusal  has  taken  place  as  required
hereunder.   Once  the  legal  opinion  has  been  received  together  with  any
recommendations  in respect to the  declared or apparent  conflict of  interest,
Employee and the Board of Directors of the Corporation will conclude forthwith a
mutually  acceptable  arrangement to ensure that any concerns that are raised by
the legal  opinion  in  respect  to this  matter  are dealt  with on a  mutually
satisfactory  basis.  Effective  as of the  effective  date of  this  Employment
Agreement, namely April 11, 2001, Employee declares that he knows of no conflict
of interest or apparent  conflict of interest  that would be in violation of the
provisions of Article 13.1,  save those listed in Schedule "G" which is attached
hereto,  which  declared  conflicts of interest  are waived by the  Corporation,
subject to the  requirement of the Employee to comply with the  requirements  of
Article  13.2 of this  Agreement  in the event that such  declared  conflicts of
interest  in the  course of the duties  performed  by the  employees  under this
Agreement create an actual or potential conflict of interest, then in which case
the requirements of Article 13.2 shall apply.
