Licensing Agreement, POPstar will have an exclusive right and
license to commercially exploit the Core Software and Enhancements
worldwide;

rights under the Licensing Agreement. POPstar wishes to retain TGI
to develop, maintain, support and provide those services
("SERVICES") in relation to Enhancements to the Core Software, which
Services are as set out in signed work orders ("WORK ORDERS") and
such other Services in relation to POPstar's exploitation of the
Core Software under the Licensing Agreement as POPstar may require

be described in subsequent Work Orders - for example Schedule B.1,
Schedule B.2 and so forth);
C. TGI desires to provide such Services to POPstar in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Services Agreement;
D. The parties agree that as POPstar is paying for the
Services performed by TGI and as POPstar is bearing the risks of the
provision of these Services, all intellectual property rights that
arise with respect to the Services, including Enhancements developed
by TGI pursuant to this Services Agreement shall be solely owned by
POPstar; and
E. The parties agree that POPstar will be providing such
Services in consideration of the price and payments set out in this
Services Agreement. The parties acknowledge that such price and
payments may be subject to adjustment based on the assessment of
applicable competent taxing authorities. Therefore the parties
agree that the price and payment provisions set out in this Services
Agreement may be adjusted based on the adjustment provisions set out
in section 3.2 or .
NOW, THEREFORE, TGI and POPstar hereby agree as follows:

complete those tasks as expressly set out in attached Work Orders
which will describe services to be provided in relation to
Enhancements. All additional Services which are not in relation to
Enhancements shall be pre-authorized by an officer of POPstar and
invoices in respect thereof shall set out in detail the services
provided (e.g. management, consulting or marketing services, for
example). All additional Work Orders attached to this Services

Enhancements shall be signed by the parties and shall set out the
following:
(a) the Enhancements to be provided by TGI to
POPstar;

the Enhancements by TGI to POPstar;
(c) the respective responsibilities of the
parties relative to the Enhancements;
(d) the Acceptance Test Procedure for the
Enhancements; and
(e) the fees payable to TGI for the applicable
Work Order.
2.2 Any modifications to the Services or requests by
POPstar for any such additional services which alter, amend,
enhance, add to, or delete from the Services and/or time and/or
place of performance in relation to any Enhancement will be made by
way of a Change Order setting out a description of the work, the
time for performance and the cost representing any amount in
addition to the initial retained amount. Any such Change Order must
be in writing and signed by both POPstar and TGI which change order
will then be incorporated by reference into this Services Agreement.
Specifically, POPstar and TGI shall comply with the following:
(a) POPstar shall submit to TGI in writing all Change Order
requests;
(b) TGI will evaluate each such Change Order request at no
additional cost to POPstar and return a copy of the same Change
Order request to POPstar as soon as possible but not later than ten
(10) working days following TGI's receipt of the Change Order
request. TGI's written response shall include a statement of the
availability of TGI's personnel and resources, the impact, if any,
on the completion date and changes in costs, if any. TGI in its
sole discretion may refuse to accept the Change Order request;
(c) For the purposes of this Services Agreement, only a
Change Order request mutually agreed to in writing by the parties
shall be a Change Order which then shall be deemed incorporated into
and part of this Services Agreement and each such Change Order shall
constitute a formal change to this Services Agreement adjusting fees
and completion date as finally agreed upon for each authorized
Change
Order. In no event shall the Services be deemed altered,
amended, enhanced or otherwise modified except through a duly
authorized Modification/Change Request, all in accordance with this
subsection.
2.3 If TGI is prevented or delayed from performing the
contracted tasks and services in the manner and at the time set out
in a Work Order by reason of any act or omission attributable to
POPstar, applicable milestones, schedules or time of provision of
Enhancements shall be amended forthwith, and after a 30 day period,
POPstar will pay to TGI all reasonable costs and charges sustained
or incurred by TGI (at TGI's rates specified in the Work Order and
all reasonable expenses) for additional time and materials expended
by TGI as a result of such delay.

payment, will be as set out in the Work Orders. The payments
therefor will be as set out in each Work Order. The fee for TGI's
Services which Services are not provided in respect of Enhancements,
shall be its direct and indirect costs determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, plus the percentage set
out in Schedule C, plus appropriate taxes. The provisions of the
Work Orders supplement this Services Agreement. To the extent that
there is any inconsistency between this Services Agreement and the
Work Order, the Work Order will prevail to the extent necessary to
resolve such inconsistency.
3.2 The parties agree that:
(a) the Payments shall be fair market value consideration for the
Services;
(b) the Payments as set out in the Work Order are intended to be
the best estimate of the fair market value of the Services in
relation to the Enhancements, that is presently available and unless
and until otherwise determined as provided in this Services
Agreement shall be conclusively deemed to be as set out in each Work
Order;
(c) if the Minister of National Revenue of Canada or any other
competent authority at any time proposes to issue or does issue any
assessment that would impose any liability for tax of any nature or
kind whatsoever on any person on the basis that the fair market
value of the Services provided hereunder is greater or lesser than
the Payments, and if it is determined hereafter that the fair market
value of the interests transferred hereunder is a greater or lesser
amount (the "ADJUSTED AMOUNT") than the Services, then:
(i) if the Adjusted Amount is less than the Payment, TGI shall
reimburse POPstar for all amounts overpaid on account of Services in
order to compensate for such overpayment, and;
(ii) if the Adjusted Amount is greater than the Payment, POPstar
shall pay TGI for all amounts underpaid on account of Services in
order to compensate for such shortfall, and.

agreement between the parties or, failing such agreement shall be as
determined by a competent tribunal after all appeals which the
parties, upon advice of counsel, or the Minister of National Revenue
or the applicable taxing authority pursue, and the time within which
any further appeal may be filed has expired.
(e) At any time before December 31, 1999, the Payments as set out
in Work Orders and the percentage xxxx-up as set out in Schedule C
may be adjusted on the basis of a transfer pricing study to be
conducted by KPMG Chartered Accountants.

expenses arising out of any breach of this warranty. TGI warrants
that this Services Agreement and the Enhancements do not infringe
any proprietary or intellectual property right of any other party,
