Page 3 of 3

Sponsorship and Concurrent Financing

Canaccord Genuity Corp., subject to completion of satisfactory due diligence, has agreed to act as sponsor and financial advisor in connection with the transaction. For acting as Sponsor, Canaccord will receive a work fee of $35,000, plus a monthly work fee of $20,000 per month for two months.

An agreement to sponsor should not be construed as any assurance with respect to the merits of the transaction or the likelihood of completion.

Pursuant to the letter of intent, it is a condition of the completion of the Transaction that the Company complete a financing generating up to $2 million at a price of $0.20 (the "Financing"). Canaccord has also entered into a letter agreement to assist Broome to complete the Financing on a best efforts basis, with $1,500,000 of the financing to be raised through a "president's list". Under the terms of the engagement, Canaccord will also have an over-allotment option to place additional shares to raise up to a further $500,000. For its services in respect to placees under the "president's list, Canaccord will be entitled to receive a cash commission of 4% on gross proceeds from those placees plus Brokers warrants exercisable for a period of 24 months from closing of the Qualifying Transaction to acquire that number of common shares that is equal to 4% of the number of shares sold to the president's list. For placees not on the "president's list" Canaccord will receive 8% cash commission and 8% in Broker's warrants.

Canaccord will also receive 300,000 shares by way of a corporate finance fee upon successful completion of the Financing, and a pro-rata additional number of corporate finance fee shares if the over allotment option is exercised.

Finders' Fees

Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, a finder's fee is payable to (a) Evans & Evans, Inc., in the amount of 3% of the value of the Transaction, which is currently estimated to be $2,500,000, for a finder's fee of $75,000, payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of the Resulting Issuer at a deemed price equal to the Transaction deemed price and to (b) Mr. In Suk Chung in the amount of 2% of the value of the Transaction for a finder's fee of $50,000, payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of the Resulting Issuer at a deemed price equal to the Transaction deemed price.
