date ninety (90 days following of the completion of such sale or prior to the

exercised and shall be accompanied by payment (by cash or certified cheque) in

forthwith cause the transfer agent and registrar of the Corporation to deliver
to the Purchaser or his legal personal representatives (or as the Purchaser may
otherwise direct in the notice of exercise of option) within ten (10) days
following receipt by the Corporation of any such notice of exercise of option a
certificate or certificates in the name of the Purchaser or his legal personal
representatives representing in the aggregate such number of optioned shares as
the Purchaser or his legal personal representatives shall have then paid.
8. Nothing herein contained or done pursuant hereto shall obligate the
Purchaser to purchase and/or pay for any Optioned Shares except those Optioned
Shares in respect of which the Purchaser shall have exercised his options
hereunder in the manner hereinbefore provided.
9. In the event of any sub-division, re-division or change of the shares
of the Corporation at any time prior to the expiry date into greater number of
shares, the Corporation shall deliver at the time of any exercise thereafter of
the option hereby granted such additional number of shares as would have
resulted from such sub-division or change if such exercise of the option hereby
granted had been prior to the date of sub-division re-division or change.

Corporation at any time prior to the Expiry Dates into a lesser number of
shares, the number of shares deliverable by the Corporation on any exercise
thereafter of the option hereby granted shall be reduced to such number of

of the option hereby granted had been prior to the date of such consolidation or
change.

option hereunder and which the Purchaser shall have actually taken up and paid
for.
