The Subscriber agrees to resell the Securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S and any other applicable securities laws, pursuant to a registration under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from such registration, and that hedging transactions involving the Securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the 1933 Act.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES AND RESTRICTED DISPOSITION

The Subscriber represents and warrants that the Subscriber was not specifically formed and has not acted to acquire any of the Securities subscribed for in this Agreement in violation of the provisions of Regulation S or Rule 144 under the securities laws of the United States or in violation of any of the exemptions provided by the securities laws of Alberta or British Columbia. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities will be restricted as to disposition as set forth below and agrees to abide by such restrictions.

Whether the Subscriber has purchased subject to Rule 144 or Reg. S or pursuant to any exemptions under the securities laws of British Columbia or Alberta the Subscriber represents and warrants that the Subscriber understands that:

(a)

neither the sale of the Securities which the Subscriber is acquiring nor the Securities themselves has been registered under any state securities laws and the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered or an exemption from such registration is available; and

(b)

the share certificate representing the Securities will be stamped with the following legends (or substantially equivalent language) restricting transfer:

"The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the laws of any state and have been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration pertaining to such securities and pursuant to a representation by the security holder named hereon that said securities have been acquired for purposes of investment and not for purposes of distribution. These securities may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of registration, or the availability of an exemption from such registration. Furthermore, no offer, sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation is to take place without the prior written approval of counsel to the issuer being affixed to this certificate. The stock transfer agent has been ordered to effectuate transfers of this certificate only in accordance with the above instructions."

"Unless permitted under securities legislation in British Columbia or Alberta, the holder of the securities shall not trade the securities before the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months and a day

after the date the issuer first became a reporting issuer in any of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan, if the issuer is a SEDAR filer; and (ii) the date that is 12 months and a day after the later of (A) the distribution date, and (B) the date the issuer became a reporting issuer in the local jurisdiction of the purchaser of the securities that are the subject of the trade."

It is acknowledged by the parties hereto that the Company will attempt to acquire the benefit of four month hold periods to the Securities for the benefit of British Columbia and Alberta subscribers (and any subscribers in other provinces who may participate where such is permitted) by application to listing on the TSX Venture Exchange and filing of an AIF under the policies of such jurisdictions. However, it is acknowledged that the Company will make reasonable commercial efforts to effect such and there is no warranty that such will occur. In the event of failure of the same the forgoing restrictions will apply and the investor is also directed to the terms of section 2 under the section headed "Additional Investment Subscription Terms, Corporate Disclosure and General Subscriber Acknowledgements and Warranties" below.

METHOD OF SUBSCRIPTION

A subscription shall be made by delivering to the Company or its agent a signed and fully completed copy of this subscription agreement (with a 'risk acknowledgement declaration' if subscribing pursuant to an offering memorandum) and the Subscription Price made to the order of the Company or its designated agent.

The Company shall return to the Subscriber the Subscription Price, or such amount as has not been accepted, as to such part of the subscription which the Company has not accepted.

Should the Subscriber's subscription be submitted to the solicitors for the Issuer and payment delivered to the solicitors in trust then the Subscriber agrees that the solicitors shall have no accountability to the Subscriber whatsoever, and acknowledges that the solicitors are merely recipients for the Issuer and have no solicitors obligations of any nature to the Subscriber. The only duty the solicitors shall have is to deliver the subscription agreement and the subscription monies to the Issuer and the solicitors shall require no further instruction other than this paragraph from the Subscriber in order to deliver the same to the Issuer. Under no circumstances shall the Company's solicitors be considered to be giving legal or other advice or services to the Subscriber and no communication between the Subscriber and such solicitors shall be considered advice (at the most only administrative subscription assistance on behalf of the Company) but the Subscriber shall rely solely and exclusively on his own judgement and the advice of his own counsel.

ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT SUBSCRIPTION TERMS, CORPORATE DISCLOSURE AND GENERAL SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND WARRANTIES

Description of the Securities. The Securities are a part of the common shares of the Company. The Company's authorized capital consists of 75,000,000 common shares without par value, of which 15,875,768 shares were issued and outstanding as of August 20, 2002, and 5,000,000 preferred shares without par value, of which no shares were issued and outstanding as of August 20, 2002. Copies of the constating documents of the Company describing the common securities and the rights of holders and other corporate materials of the Company are available upon request.

Closing of subscription and Use of Funds of the Securities. The Subscriber agrees that closing of this subscription, and completion of the transaction, is subject to and deferred until listing of the Issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange and until completion of an effective AIF filing ("Closing Conditions"). Notwithstanding such deferral the subscription monies shall be advanced to the Issuer to reserve the Subscriber's subscription and the Issuer may employ such funds for its business purposes nor shall such funds be considered a loan and shall not bear interest but shall constitute solely a reservation of subscription and advance of funds. The Subscriber shall not demand return of its subscription unless the Closing Conditions have not occurred for a period in excess of one year from the date of this subscription. Notwithstanding the Closing Conditions the Issuer may elect to waive the Closing Conditions on or before such one year subject to the Issuer being a trading issuer in good standing on the OTCBB or another public exchange and subject to the Issuer proceeding to file an amended or new SB-2 qualifying the Securities unless the Shares of the Securities otherwise have the benefit of an exemption permitting trading. The Subscriber acknowledges that the funds to be raised from the Securities are to be employed for the business of the Company in accordance with management's determination as to the best use of the same for the Company's business plans. Notwithstanding any disclosure document provided concurrent with this subscription the Company reserves the right at any time to alter its business plans in accordance with management's appreciation of the market for the goods and services of the Company and the best use of the Company's funds to advance its business, whether present or future.

Securities Issued at Different Prices and Characteristics. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company will issue its securities at different prices which may occur sequentially, from time-to-time, or at the same time. The Company will also issue offerings which have warrants, or other benefits, attached and some offerings which do not. Not all subscribers will receive common shares, or other share classes, of the Company at the same price and such may be issued at vastly different prices to that of the Subscriber. For example, the Company

has or may issue Securities at nominal prices for developmental assets (which cannot be valued and so may be assigned a nominal value on the Company's books) or for services or to attract expertise or management talent or other circumstances considered advisable by the board of directors. Such issuance at different prices are made by the board in its judgement as to typical structuring for a company such as the Company, to incentivise, reward, and to provide a measure of developmental control, to acquire assets or services which the board considers necessary or advisable for the Company's development and success, and other such considerations in the board's judgement. The Subscriber acknowledges these matters, understands that the Subscriber's investment is not necessarily the most advantageous investment in the Company, and authorizes the Board now and hereafter to use its judgement to make such issuances whether such issuances are at a lesser, equal or greater price than that of the Subscriber and whether such is prior to, concurrent with, or subsequent to the Subscriber's investment. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has had disclosed to the Subscriber that the Company has issued securities at different prices and with different characteristics, the Subscriber has had the opportunity for full disclosure and questions in respect thereto, and the Subscriber accepts without equivocation the securities structure and pricing of the Company by subscription hereto.

Subscriber's Acknowledgments. The Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that:

(a)

Withdrawal or Revocation. This Subscription Agreement is given for valuable consideration and shall not be withdrawn or revoked by the Subscriber once tendered with the Subscription Price except for Subscribers in British Columbia or Alberta subscribing by offering memorandum exemption who shall have a right to cancel the subscription by midnight on the second business day after the Subscriber has signed this agreement;

(b)

Agreement to be Bound. The Subscriber hereby specifically agrees to be bound by the terms of this Subscription Agreement as to all particulars hereof and hereby reaffirms the acknowledgments, representations, and powers set forth in this Subscription Agreement;

(c)

Reliance on Subscriber's Representations. The Subscriber understands that the Company will rely on the acknowledgments, representations, and covenants of the Subscriber herein in determining whether a sale of the Securities to the Subscriber is in compliance with applicable securities laws. The Subscriber warrants that all acknowledgments, representations and covenants are true and accurate;

(d)

Waiver of Preemptive Rights. The Subscriber hereby grants, conveys, and vests the President of the Company as the Subscriber's power of attorney solely for the purpose of waiving any prior or preemptive rights which the Subscriber may have to further issues of equity by the Company.

Decision to Purchase.

It is not made on other information relating to the Company and not upon any oral representation as to fact or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Company or any other person. The Subscriber agrees that the Company assumes no responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever for the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any business plan information, which has been created based upon the Company's management experience.

(d)

Speculative Investment.

Management's plans are an effort to apply present knowledge and experience to project a future course of action which is hoped will result in financial success employing the Company's assets and with the present level of management's skills and of those whom the Company will need to attract (which cannot be assured). Additionally, all plans are capable of being frustrated by new or unrecognized or unappreciated present or future circumstances which can typically not be accurately, or at all, predicted.

(i)

No Prospectus filing. The Subscriber acknowledges that this is an offering made on a private basis without a prospectus and that no federal, state, provincial or other agency has made any finding or determination as to the merits of the investment nor made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities, and that:

(i)

The Subscriber may be or is restricted from using most of the civil remedies available under the applicable securities act; and

(m)

Legal Obligation. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Subscriber;

(n)

Compliance With Applicable Laws. The Subscriber knows of no reason (and is sufficiently knowledgeable to determine the same or has sought legal advice) why the delivery of this Agreement, the acceptance of it by the Company and the issuance of the Securities to the Subscriber will not comply with all applicable laws of the Subscriber's jurisdiction of residence or domicile, and all other laws applicable to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber has no reason to believe that the Subscriber's subscription hereby will cause the Company to become subject to or required to comply with any disclosure, prospectus or reporting requirements or to be subject to any civil or regulatory review or proceeding. The Subscriber will comply with all applicable securities laws and will assist the Company in all reasonable manners to comply with all applicable securities laws; and

(o)
