           and the Common Shares become listed for trading on a stock exchange in Canada; and

2.         December 31, 2003.

The power of attorney granted herein is an irrevocable power coupled with an interest and will survive the bankruptcy of the Subscriber or the assignment by the Subscriber of the whole or any part of the interest of the Subscriber in the Shares.


- 14 -

The Subscriber agrees to be bound by any representations made and actions taken by its attorney hereunder pursuant to this power of attorney in accordance with the terms hereof and hereby waives any and all defences which may be available to the Subscriber to contest, negate or disaffirm the action(s) of such attorney taken under this power of attorney.

None of the Issuer, its directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents, or the attorney appointed hereunder will be liable for any act done, or omitted to be done, in good faith hereunder as attorney for the Subscriber. The Subscriber indemnifies each of the Issuer, its directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents, and its attorney appointed hereunder, and holds each of them harmless against any loss, liability or expense arising out of, or in connection with, any actions taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith pursuant to this power of attorney."
