Section 4.1 - Method of Exercise of Warrants

documents required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws and
a bank draft or certified cheque payable to or to the order of the Company, at
its business office for the purchase price applicable at the time of surrender
in respect of the Shares subscribed for in lawful money of the United States.


Section 4.2 - Effect of Exercise of Warrants

Within three business days after surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Company

names the Shares so subscribed for are to be issued as specified in such

entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant surrendered.


Section 4.3 - Subscription for Less Than Entitlement

Warrant. In the event of any purchase of a number of Shares less than the number
which can be purchased pursuant to a Warrant, the holder thereof upon exercise
thereof will in addition be entitled to receive a new Warrant in respect of the
balance of the Shares which he was entitled to purchase pursuant to the
surrendered Warrant and which were not then purchased.


Section 4.4 - Warrants for Fractions of Shares

To the extent that the holder of any Warrant is entitled to receive on the

or other Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the holder to receive a whole
number of such Shares.

Section 4.7 - Adjustment of Exercise Price

The exercise price and the number of Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the
Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event and in the manner following:

(1)       If and whenever the Shares at any time outstanding are subdivided into
          a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of Shares the exercise
          price will be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may
          be; upon any such subdivision or consolidation the number of Shares
          deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be increased or
          decreased proportionately as the case may be.

(2)  (a)  In case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of
          the capital of the Company or in the case of the consolidation, merger
          or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other Company
          (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Reorganization"), each
          Warrant will after such Reorganization confer the right to purchase
          the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or of the
          Company's successor resulting from such Reorganization) which the
          Warrant Holder would have been entitled to upon Reorganization if the
          Warrant Holder had been a shareholder at the time of such
          Reorganization.

     (b)  In any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made
          in the application of the provisions of this Article Four relating to
          the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of the Warrants so
          that the provisions of this Article Four will be made applicable as
          nearly as reasonably possible to any Shares or other securities
          deliverable after the Reorganization on the exercise of the Warrants.

     (c)  The subdivision or consolidation of Shares at any time outstanding
          into a greater or lesser number of Shares (whether with or without par
          value) will not be deemed to be a Reorganization for the purposes of
          this paragraph (2).

(3)       The adjustments provided for in this Section are cumulative and will
          become effective immediately after the record date or, if no record
          date is fixed, the effective date of the event which results in such
          adjustments.
<PAGE>

Section 4.8 - Determination of Adjustments

If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the exercise price or
any adjustment provided for in Section 4.7, such questions will be conclusively
determined by the Company's Auditors, or, if they decline to so act any other
firm of chartered accountants, in Vancouver, British Columbia that the Company
