The Shares will be issued and registered in the names of the Purchasers or their nominees.

4.1 In consideration of the services performed by the Agent under this Agreement, the Issuer agrees to pay to the Agent on each Closing an Agent's Fee consisting of:

(a) a cash payment equal to 10% of the gross proceeds received by the Issuer from the sale of the Shares on such Closing payable in lawful money of the United States; and

(b) that number of Agent's Warrants which is equal to 10% of the number of Shares sold on such Closing.

4.2 Each Agent's Warrant will entitle the holder, on exercise, to purchase one Agent's Warrant Share at a price of USD 0.25 per Agent's Warrant Share for a period of 24 months.

4.3 The Agent's Warrants will be non-transferable except as permitted by the Applicable Legislation and any order granted by the Regulatory Authorities.

4.4 The certificates representing the Agent's Warrants will, among other things, include provisions for the appropriate adjustment in the class, number and price of the Agent's Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Agent's Warrants upon the occurrence of certain events, including any subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the Issuer's common shares, the payment of stock dividends and the amalgamation of the Issuer.

4.6 In consideration for the Agent's fiscal advisory services consisting of working with the Issuer to advance its business objectives and providing financial advisory and investment banking services, the Issuer will pay the Agent USD 5,000 per month for a period of 6 months following the First Closing payable in the aggregate upon the earlier of the First Closing and the date of termination of this Agreement (the "Fiscal Advisory Fee").

4.7 The Agent has received from the Issuer a non-refundable advance in the amount of USD 110,000 which is an advance against the cash portion of the Agent's Fee. The Issuer agrees that the Agent will use this advance against payment of the Agent's Fee upon any Closing but that, should there not be a Closing of this Offering, the Agent will not refund this advance to the Issuer.

5.1 The Agent will only sell the Shares to persons who represent themselves as being:

(a) resident in jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States where the Shares may lawfully be offered for sale;

(b) not a U.S. Person;

(c) persons purchasing as principal; and

5.9 Promptly following the Final Closing, the Issuer will prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed a registration statement covering the resale of the Shares, which registration statement will have the legal effect of allowing the Purchasers to resell all or part of the Shares in the United States. The failure of the Issuer to effect the registration of the Shares for resale by the 120^th day following the First Closing will result in the Issuer issuing to the Purchasers an additional 0.2 share of its common shares for each of the Shares purchased by the Purchasers in the Private Placement.

6.1 The Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Purchaser introduced by the Agent, and deliver to the Issuer, on or before each Closing duly completed and signed subscriptions in the form attached as Schedule "A" or in such other form consented to by the Issuer and the Agent and executed by the Purchaser.

6.2 The Issuer will accept each properly completed subscription agreement tendered by the Agent, unless:

(a) the subscriber thereunder would, by virtue of the issue of the shares subscribed for, become a "control person" of the Issuer, with the meaning of the Applicable Legislation; or

15.2 The Issuer will maintain the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment filed under this Section 15 hereof effective under the U.S. Securities Act until the earlier of (i) two years, (i) all Shares and Agent's Warrant Shares have been disposed of pursuant to the Registration Statement, (iii) all Shares and Agent's Warrant Shares have been sold under circumstances under which all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the U.S. Securities Act are met, (iv) all Shares and Agent's Warrant Shares have been otherwise transferred to persons who may trade such Securities without restriction under the U.S. Securities Act, and the Issuer has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such Securities not bearing a restrictive legend or (v) such time as, in the opinion of counsel to the Issuer, all Securities may be sold without any time, volume or manner limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any similar provision then in effect) under the U.S. Securities Act.

15.3 The Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with such reasonable methods of disposition as may be specified in writing by the shareholders participating therein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Issuer in each such case will, as expeditiously as is commercially reasonable:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement to effect such registration (including such audited financial statements as may be required by the U.S. Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and cause the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement, or such amendment or supplement, (A) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in the light of all the facts and circumstances not misleading:

(b) promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the U.S. Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement until the earlier of such time as all Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the selling shareholder or shareholders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement or a date calculated as described in Section 15.2 hereof;

(c) furnish in paper format or electronically on a CD to each selling shareholder one conformed copy of the Registration Statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits) and one copy of each document incorporated by reference therein and such number of copies of the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and furnish any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act relating to such seller's Registrable Securities, and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of its Registrable Securities;

(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or Blue Sky laws of the states of the United States as each selling shareholder shall reasonably request, to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as the Registration Statement remains in effect (subject to the limitations in Section 15.3) except that the Issuer shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not and would not, but for the requirements of this Subsection 15.3(d), be obligated to be so qualified, or to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e) immediately notify the selling shareholder, at any time when a prospectus or prospectus supplement relating thereto is required to be delivered under the U.S. Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, which untrue statement or omission requires amendment of the Registration Statement or supplementation of the prospectus, and promptly thereafter prepare and furnish to such selling shareholder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the facts and circumstances then existing;

(f) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC;

(g) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement and cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on such national securities exchange or automated system on which the class of Registrable Securities is then listed; and

(h) pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.

15.4 If at any time or from time to time after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Issuer notifies the Purchasers in writing of the existence of a Potential Material Event (as defined below), the Purchasers shall not offer or sell any Registrable Securities or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to Registrable Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a Potential Material Event until such Purchasers receive written notice from the Issuer that such Potential Material Event either has been disclosed to the public or no longer constitutes a Potential Material Event. If a Potential Material Event shall occur prior to the date the Registration Statement is filed, then the Issuer's obligation to file the Registration Statement shall be delayed without penalty for not more than thirty (30) days. The Issuer must give Purchaser notice in writing at least two (2) trading days (in which the Shares are quoted on the NASD Over The Counter Bulletin Board) prior to the first day of the blackout period, if lawful to do so. "Potential Material Event" means any of the following: (a) the possession by the Issuer of material information that is not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement, as determined in good faith by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Issuer or that disclosure of such information in the Registration Statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of the Issuer; or (b) any material engagement or activity by the Issuer which would, in the good faith determination of the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, be adversely affected by disclosure in a registration statement at such time, which determination shall be accompanied by a good faith determination by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company that the Registration Statement would be materially misleading absent the inclusion of such information.

15.5 The Agent and each Purchaser will cooperate with the Issuer in all respects in connection with Section 15 of this Agreement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by the Issuer (which shall include all information regarding such Purchaser and proposed manner of sale of the Registrable Securities required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with Applicable Legislation.

15.6 In connection with any registration or qualification of the Registrable Securities under this Agreement (i) the Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless the shareholder, including but not limited to each person or entity, if any, who controls the shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) to which the shareholder or such controlling person may become subject under the U.S. Securities Act, the U.S. Securities Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon or are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Issuer shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) furnished pursuant to this Agreement or insofar as the same arise out of, are based upon or are caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are ultimately determined to have arisen out of or were based upon or were caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission based upon written information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of a shareholder or any such control person for inclusion in any Registration Statement or prospectus (and any amendments or supplements thereto); provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the final prospectus, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the final prospectus and such shareholder thereafter fails to deliver such final prospectus as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to the person asserting such losses after the Issuer had furnished such shareholder with a sufficient number of copies thereof in a manner and at a time sufficient to permit delivery of the same by such shareholder, and (ii) each selling shareholder shall indemnify the Issuer, its affiliates, any person who signed the Registration Statement, and their respective officers, directors and control persons against all such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon or are caused by any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or any such omission or alleged omission based on written information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such shareholder or any such control person for the inclusion in any Registration Statement or prospectus (and any amendments or supplements thereto).

15.7 Promptly upon receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 15 of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity or reimbursement may be sought against any indemnifying party under this Agreement, such indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Agreement unless such failure shall materially and adversely affect the defence of such action. In case notice of commencement of any such action shall be given to the indemnifying party as above provided, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defence of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel in any such action and participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) shall be paid by the indemnified party unless (a) the indemnifying party agrees to pay the same, (b) the indemnifying party fails to assume the defence of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (in such case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defence of such action on behalf of such indemnified party), or (c) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) have been advised by such counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defence of such action on behalf of such indemnified party). In the event that either of the circumstances described in clauses (b) and (c) of the sentence immediately preceding shall occur, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defence and otherwise to participate in the defence of any such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement entered into with its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

16.1 The Issuer will indemnify the Agent and each of the Agent's agents, directors, officers and employees (individually, an "Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") and save them harmless against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities:

(a) existing by reason of an untrue statement contained in the Public Record, subscription agreement or other written or oral representation made by the Issuer to a Purchaser or potential Purchaser in connection with the Private Placement, or by reason of the omission to state any fact necessary to make such statements or representations not misleading (except for information and statements supplied by and relating solely to the Agent);

(b) arising directly or indirectly out of any order made by any regulatory authority based upon an allegation that any such untrue statement or representation, or omission exists (except information and statements supplied by and relating solely to the Agent), that trading in or distribution of any of the Securities is to cease;

(c) resulting from the failure by the Issuer to obtain the requisite regulatory approval to the Private Placement unless the failure to obtain such approval is the result of a breach of this Agreement by the Agent;

(d) resulting from any failure by the Issuer to file an Offering Memorandum, if required by the Applicable Legislation, or an amendment or supplement to it either of them;

(e) resulting from the breach by the Issuer of any of the terms of this Agreement;

(f) resulting from any representation or warranty made by the Issuer herein not being true or ceasing to be true;

(g) if the Issuer fails to issue and deliver the certificates representing the Securities in the form and denominations reasonably satisfactory to the Agent at the time and place required by the Agent with the result that any completion of a sale of the Securities does not take place; or

(h) if, following the completion of a sale of any of the Securities, a determination is made by any competent authority setting aside the sale, unless that determination arises out of an act or omission by the Agent.

16.2 If any action or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Issuer in writing.

16.3 The Issuer will assume the defence of the action or claim, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all reasonable expenses.

16.4 The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel, and the Issuer will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

16.5 The indemnity provided for in this Section will not be limited or otherwise affected by any other indemnity obtained by the Indemnified Party from any other person in respect of any matters specified in this Agreement and will continue in full force and effect until all possible liability of the Indemnified Parties arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been extinguished by the operation of law.

16.6 If indemnification under this Agreement is found in a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be available for reason of public policy, the Issuer and the Indemnified Parties will contribute to the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) for which such indemnification is held unavailable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to and fault of the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties on the other hand, in connection with the matter giving rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof). No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of applicable securities laws) will be entitled to contribution from any person who is not found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.

16.7 To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this Agreement, the Agent will obtain and hold the right and benefit of this section in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

17.1 The Agent will not assign this Agreement or any of their rights under this Agreement or, with respect to the Securities, enter into any agreement in the nature of an option or a sub-option unless and until, for each intended transaction, the Agent has obtained the consent of the Issuer, and any required notice has been given to and accepted by the Regulatory Authorities.

17.2 Subject to sections 12.2(e) and 12.2(f), the Agent may offer selling group participation in the normal course of the brokerage business to selling groups of other licensed dealers, brokers and investments dealers, who may or who may not be offered part of the Agent's Fee.

18.1 The Issuer will notify the Agent of the terms of any further equity financing that it requires or proposes to obtain during the 12 months following the reference date of this Agreement and the Agent will have the right of first refusal to provide any such equity financing.

18.2 The right of first refusal must be exercised by the Agent within 15 days following the receipt of the notice by notifying the Issuer that it will provide such financing on the terms set out in the notice.

18.3 If the Agent fails to give notice within the 15 days that it will provide such financing upon the terms set out in the notice, the Issuer will then be free to make other arrangements to obtain financing from another source on the same terms or on terms no less favourable to the Issuer, subject to obtaining the acceptance of the Regulatory Authorities.

18.4 The right of first refusal will not terminate if, on receipt of any notice from the Issuer under this Section, the Agent fails to exercise the right.

19.1 Any notice under this Agreement will be given in writing and must be delivered, sent by facsimile transmission addressed to the party to which notice is to be given at the address indicated above, or at another address designated by the party in writing.

19.2 If notice is sent by facsimile transmission or is delivered, it will be deemed to have been given at the time of transmission or delivery, or if not a business day, the next business day.

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the letter from the Agent to the Issuer dated September 19, 2001 and captioned "Proposed Financing" continues in full force and effect except as amended by this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the agency agreement between the parties dated for reference November 22, 2001, has been terminated and superceded in all respects but that the obligations arising under sections 13 and 16 thereunder continue in full force and effect.

Time is of the essence of this Agreement and will be calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Interpretation Act (British Columbia).

The representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the Issuer and the Agent contained in this Agreement will survive the Final Closing.
