                                     - 2 -

     NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the mutual
covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the
parties agree as follows:

1.   The parties agree that the Original Agreement is no longer in effect, and
none of the parties shall assert any rights or claims thereunder.

2.   From and after the date hereof Deuteronomy shall provide to Cott the
services described in Schedule "A" hereto and any other similar services which
may be required by Cott from time to time.

3.   In order to provide the above mentioned services, Deuteronomy will, at its
cost, provide all personnel suitably qualified as necessary relative to the
sphere of work in which such personnel will be engaged. Deuteronomy shall ensure
that all the Deuteronomy Personnel shall act at all times in a manner
appropriate to the trust and confidence placed in them by Cott. Deuteronomy
shall ensure that the Deuteronomy Personnel shall duly and diligently perform
the services to be provided by them, shall devote their time, attention and
ability to the Business and the business of Cott's associates, subsidiary bodies
corporate and affiliated bodies corporate (as such terms are defined in the
Canada Business Corporations Act) ("Related Companies") and shall well and
faithfully serve and use their best efforts to promote the interests of Cott and
its Related Companies. Deuteronomy shall further ensure that the Deuteronomy
Personnel shall direct to Cott and its Related Companies all business and other
corporate opportunities of which they become aware which relate to the Business
and the business of its Related Companies.

4.   In consideration of the provision of services by Deuteronomy as aforesaid,
Cott will pay Deuteronomy as follows:

     (a)  subject to paragraph 5 hereof, a fee of $500,000 (Cdn.) per annum (the
          "Annual Fee"), payable in equal monthly instalments in arrears on the
          last day of each month during the currency of this agreement; and

     (b)  all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred by Deuteronomy
          and the Deuteronomy Personnel in providing services to Cott (other
          than any income taxes payable on the net income of Deuteronomy),
          provided that the costs of Deuteronomy Personnel (including salaries
          payable to, and any severance or other costs or obligations resulting
          from the termination of, any of the Deuteronomy Personnel), any travel
          expenses (including those relating to travel to customer locations),
          and any automobile expenses (including gas, oil, repairs, maintenance,
          license and insurance costs) shall be solely for the account of
          Deuteronomy.

All fees and expenses to which Deuteronomy is entitled, shall be paid to
Deuteronomy forthwith upon presentation by Deuteronomy to Cott of invoices
therefor, provided that Cott shall not be invoiced by Deuteronomy more
frequently than every two weeks.

5.   It is acknowledged that included in the Annual Fee is the sum of $118,000
(Cdn.) allocated for the annual remuneration of the Deuteronomy Personnel other
than Don ("Personnel Cost"). The Annual Fee shall be reduced from time to time,
on a dollar for dollar basis, to the extent that the total annual remuneration
payable by Deuteronomy to any of the Deuteronomy
<PAGE>
                                     - 3 -

Personnel, other than Don, is less than the Personnel Cost. Deuteronomy shall
provide Cott and its representatives with access, from time to time upon the
request of Cott, to Deuteronomy's books and records in order to verify the
Personnel Cost.

6.   There shall be added to any payment and reimbursement required to be made
by Cott to Deuteronomy hereunder, the amount of any tax, including goods and
services tax, that is exigible in respect of such payment, which amount shall be
due at the same time as the payment or reimbursement on which the tax is
imposed, or such other date on which such tax is required to be paid pursuant to
any applicable legislative or regulatory requirements ("due date"). Cott shall
reimburse and indemnify Deuteronomy in full for any taxes, interest and
penalties paid by Deuteronomy arising from the failure of Cott to remit any
applicable taxes on the due date.

7.   So long as this agreement is in effect and for a period of:

     (a)  two years if

          (i)  Deuteronomy voluntarily terminates this agreement or this
               agreement is terminated for cause hereunder, or

          (ii) Don voluntarily terminates his service arrangements with
               Deuteronomy; or

     (b)  one year if Don otherwise ceases to provide services, directly or
          indirectly to Cott;

commencing immediately thereafter, Deuteronomy and Don shall not directly or
indirectly without the prior written consent of the board of directors of Cott
(which may be unreasonably withheld);

     (c)  compete with the Business in or in respect of any of:

          (i)  the Provinces of Canada where Cott renders or carries on the
               Business whether or not Cott has a physical presence in such
               jurisdiction, or

          (ii) the States or Possessions of the United States of America where
               Cott renders or carries on the Business whether or not Cott has a
               physical presence in such jurisdiction, or

          (iii)any other country, state, province or political subdivision in
               which any clients or potential clients of Cott, render or carry
               on business, whether or not Cott has a physical presence in such
               jurisdiction; or

     (d)  acquire any interest in any business activity in direct or indirect
          competition with the Business other than through an investment in
          securities listed on a stock exchange in Canada or the United States
          of America, and then only so long as those securities do not represent
          more than two per cent of the issued securities of any class of any
          one such company.

For the purposes hereof, "competes" or "competition" shall mean either
individually, or in conjunction with another person, whether as principal,
agent, employee, shareholder or in any manner whatsoever, carrying on or being
engaged in or being concerned with or interested in, or
<PAGE>
                                     - 4 -

permitting its name to be used by a person engaged in, concerned with or
interested in any business or activity similar to the Business.

8.   So long as this agreement is in effect and for a period of:

     (a)  two years if

          (i)  Deuteronomy voluntarily terminates this agreement or this
               agreement is terminated for cause hereunder, or

          (ii) Don voluntarily terminates his service arrangement with
               Deuteronomy; or

     (b)  one year if Don otherwise ceases to provide services, directly or
          indirectly, to Cott;

commencing immediately thereafter, Deuteronomy and Don will not directly or
indirectly without the prior written consent of the board of directors of Cott
(which may be unreasonably withheld);

     (c)  canvass or solicit or endeavour to canvass or solicit, or accept any
          business from, or be party to a contract or engagement with, any
          person carrying on business in or in respect of any of:

          (i)  the Provinces of Canada where Cott renders or carries on the
               Business whether or not Cott has a physical presence in such
               jurisdiction, or

          (ii) the States or Possessions of the United States of America where
               Cott renders or carries on the business whether or not Cott has a
               physical presence in such jurisdiction, or

          (iii)any other country, state, province or political subdivision in
               which any clients or potential clients of Cott render or carry on
               business whether or not Cott has a physical presence in such
               jurisdiction; or

who at any time during the preceding twelve months was a client of Cott that may
result in that person ceasing to use the services of or acquiring goods from
Cott; or

     (d)  entice, solicit or endeavour to entice or solicit any officer,
          employee, contractor, agent or consultant of Cott away from employment
          with or engagement by Cott whether or not such person would commit a
          breach of contract by reason of leaving such service.

     For the purposes of paragraphs 7 and 8, "client" shall include any person
with whom Cott has or shall have, at any time within the last twelve months,
been in negotiation with a view to Cott being instructed to provide goods or
services to such person.

9.   Each of Deuteronomy and Don acknowledges that Cott and its Related
Companies have expended and will continue to expend considerable time and money
in acquiring and developing trade secrets, products, technology, sales
literature and brochures, forms, contracts, other form documents, customer
lists, marketing or sales strategies, and other
<PAGE>
                                     - 5 -

information (the "Confidential Data"), and each of Deuteronomy and Don by virtue
of this agreement, will have access to the Confidential Data and agrees not to
directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the board of
directors of Cott (which may be unreasonably withheld), in any manner or for any
reason whatsoever (other than in the ordinary usual course of the business),
disclose to any person any of the Confidential Data, except such Confidential
Data as it or he, can establish was a matter of public knowledge as of the date
of any such disclosure or that it or he may be required to disclose under
applicable laws. Each of Deuteronomy and Don hereby acknowledges and agrees that
the prohibition against disclosure of Confidential Data contained herein is in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights or remedies which Cott may have
available to it pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction or at common law to
prevent the disclosure of trade secrets and other industrial or intellectual
property rights or interests now or hereafter recognized by law and shall not
limit or affect any fiduciary duties to which Don may be subject as a result of
Don having been a director of Cott, and the enforcement by Cott of its rights
and remedies pursuant to this agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of
any other rights or remedies which it may possess in law or under this
agreement.

10.  The restrictions in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 shall apply to any action taken
by Deuteronomy and Don, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert or in
partnership with others, whether as agent, representative, principal, employee,
consultant, director or in any other capacity. While the parties believe that
all the aforementioned restrictions are reasonable, they may fail for unforeseen
technical reasons. Accordingly the parties have agreed that if any of these
restrictions are determined to be unenforceable as going beyond what is
reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of the interests of Cott and
its shareholders but would be valid if, for example, the scope of their time
periods or geographic areas were limited, the restrictions shall apply with such
modifications as may be necessary to make them valid and effective. The parties
agree that damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the
provisions set forth in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 and that Cott will be entitled to
injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy available.

11.  Cott may terminate or not renew this agreement at any time for cause.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, cause shall include the
following behaviour by Don or any of the other Deuteronomy Personnel:

     (a)  intoxication or use of drugs affecting their services provided
          hereunder;

     (b)  intermittent intoxication or use of drugs without proof of whether the
          services provided hereunder are affected;

     (c)  continual tardiness;

     (d)  continual use of obscene language;

     (e)  dishonesty;

     (f)  the inability to perform the services as set out herein;

     (g)  decline in work performance over a reasonable period of time;

     (h)  refusal or inability to carry out lawful orders, instructions or rules
          given by Cott;
<PAGE>
                                     - 6 -

     (i)  inability to get along with others after a reasonable period of time;
          or

     (j)  failure to comply with all of the terms of this agreement.

For greater certainty, Deuteronomy shall be deemed to have terminated this
agreement if Don shall die, Don shall become incapable, whether as a result of
physical or mental incapacity, of performing services hereunder for any period
exceeding six consecutive months or a total of 180 days within a 270-day period,
or Deuteronomy is otherwise unable to provide the services of Don in the manner
contemplated in this agreement. In the event that this agreement is terminated
pursuant to this paragraph 11, Cott shall have no further liability hereunder.
Deuteronomy acknowledges and agrees that it will discharge any of its employees
for the same behaviour as hereinbefore set out.

12.  Except for the provisions of paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 hereof, which are stated
to survive for two (2) years or one (1) year, as the case may be, following the
termination of this agreement, the term of this agreement shall be three (3)
years commencing on the date hereof and ending on the 1st day of June, 2002.

13.  This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein and
shall be treated, in all respects, as an Ontario contract. All of the parties to
this agreement hereby irrevocably attorn to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the courts of the Province of Ontario.

14.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or

                                    EXHIBIT A
                        SNOCONE SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

GENERAL  DESCRIPTION

Snocone  is  a  software  program for rapidly searching the genomes. It extracts
from  the  genome/s  a  highly  focused  list  of  Target  Genes  that match the
specifications  entered  by the user. The list is processed to reduce the number
of  Target  Genes  in  the  results. The results are returned as either a cursor
table  or  as  a  file  of  output  depending  on  user  request.

ENVIRONMENT
The  software  runs  in  a  networked  environment  utilizing  TCP/IP to connect
together  the  server  and  the clients. The server operates as a data store and
processing.  As  specified,  the  server  needs  to  be  a  Relational  Database
Management  System  (RDMS)  capable of running Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). The
server  as  implemented runs on a Unix system running Oracle 8i. The RPC modules
are  a combination of Structured Query Language queries and C language functions
for  processing.  As  specified,  the  triggering  of the server RPC is from the
client  software running on local user machines. As implemented currently, these
are  HTML web pages running JavaScript. It is anticipated that a client software
package  could  be  created  using  Visual  Basic  with  little  effort.

MAIN  PROCESSES

In  general,  the  user  will  specify  one  or more SQL queries and one or more
processing  functions  to be applied to the output of the query. These RPC's are
run  in sequence against the main data store by the RDMS and the final result is
returned  to  the  user.

There  are several variant paths of execution. To speed the processing time, the
RPC's  may  call  the  search  tag  database (tags). Tags consist of precompiled
results  from  the main data store for common search terms. The user may specify
results  from  several genomes or multiple results from the same genome and so a
step  to  combine  the  SQL  results  before  processing  may  be  required.

RPC  MODULES

SQL  queries: These queries define the first cut of data to be selected from the
main  database. They include the ability to specify the content and relationship
of  any  piece  of  data  to  be returned from the main database. Updates to the
queries  are  expected  to be a major focus of expansion for the software as new
genomes  become  available.

Processing  Functions:  These  are the functions that reduce the large amount of
data  returned  by  the SQL functions into higher quality results. These include
Culling, bi-directional list eliminations, protein incompatibility tests, Blast,
Folding, single codon selection and other tests which serve to eliminate data or
rank  its  relevance.  These  functions are the core purpose of the software and

<PAGE>

future  expansion  of  these  functions as new techniques are developed are made
possible  by  the  RPC  architecture.

Combinatory  Functions:  These are the functions that merge SQL function results
into  a  single  result  ready for processing by the processing functions. These
include  but are not limited to the binary logic functions such as AND, NOT, OR,
XOR,  NAND.  It  also  includes  such relational and SQL type functions as JOIN,
UNION  and  DISUNION.  For example, a search of the mouse, ape and human genomes
for  a  particular  gene  will  require  all of the separate results be combined
before  processing  using  one  or more functions such as JOIN, OR, NAND or XOR.
These  are  utility  functions  and generally should be widely applicable across
genomes  but  must  be  validated  when  adding  new  genomes.

DELIVERY  SPECIFICATION

The search tag database will be provided in dbf format on several compact disks.
The  search  tags are not themselves copyrighted, as they are simply a condensed
nomenclature  of  the  public  genome  information.

Source  code for the RPC  modules will be  made available as C++ source code and
headers along with required make and browser files. SQL modules will be provided
as  text  files  and imported into the RDMS. The completeness of the source code
will  be  demonstrated by compilation on the machine designated by the purchaser
and  a  binary  comparison  made  of  the  result  against a known working copy.

The  HTML  pages  will be downloaded and saved from the current website onto the
target  machine  by  the  assignee.

The  Assignor  will demonstrate to the assignee's satisfaction that all data and
code  perform  as  intended  on  the designated machine/s as of the date of this
Agreement.

It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  assignee  to  provide a functioning server
environment including Oracle 8i and a client machine connected to the server via
TCP/IP  prior  to  commencement  of  delivery.
