Schedule "A"
IN THE MATTER OF THE SECURITIES ACT
S.B.C. 1985, c. 83, AS AMENDED
AND
IN THE MATTER OF LESLIE PHILIP PRICE, BRIAN EDWARD STANFORD
and WILLIAM THOMAS LIGHTBODY
AGREED STATEMENT OF FACTS AND UNDERTAKING
The following agreement has been reached between Brian Edward Stanford ("Stanford") and the Superintendent of Brokers (the "Superintendent");
1. As the basis for orders made pursuant to sections 145 and 145.1 of the Securities Act, S.B.C. 1985, c. 83, as amended (the "Act") withdrawing the statutory exemptions of Stanford and prohibiting Stanford from becoming or acting as a director or officer of any reporting issuer, Stanford acknowledges the following facts as correct:
a) Stanford was a shareholder and principal of Anglo Securities Ltd. ("Anglo"), a registered dealer under the Act and a member of the Vancouver Stock Exchange (the "Exchange");
b) Carepoint Medical Services Ltd. ("Carepoint") at all material times was listed for trading on the Exchange and William Thomas Lightbody ("Lightbody") was a director, officer and promoter of Carepoint from November 1985 to August 1986;
c) Carepoint issued a Statement of Material Fact with an effective date January 27, 1986 underwhich it offered 550,000 shares to the public. Anglo was appointed Carepoint's agent to offer 400,000 of the shares to the public which distribution was completed.
d) during the period from January 1986 to August 1986 inclusive, Leslie Philip Price ("Price") was authorized to trade in, or in the alternative, was giving trading instructions for at least 13 separate trading accounts at Anglo (the "Trading Accounts") in which accounts there were trades in the shares of Carepoint (the "Securities");
e) during the period from January 1986 to August 1986 inclusive, Price, with the acquiescence of Stanford, directly or indirectly traded in the Securities. These trades resulted in a misleading appearance of trading activity in and/or an artificial price for the Securities.
f) during the period January 1986 to August 1986 inclusive, Price with the acquiescence of Stanford entered orders for the Securities through the Trading Accounts but did not make full Settlement of the accounts as they became due;
g) the inability of Price to settle the Trading Accounts at Anglo, in conjunction with Anglo's other capital deficiencies contributed to a deficiency in its net free capital position as required by the rules of the Exchange, leading to the financial failure of Anglo in or about August 1986;
h) Carepoint, under the direction of Lightbody placed $200,000 of its funds with Anglo on deposit;
i) Anglo, at the request of Lightbody and the other directors of Carepoint, paid Lightbody the amount of $57,000 out of the Carepoint funds which were being held on deposit at Anglo;
j) on May 28, 1987 by Notice to Members #118/187 Stanford was disciplined by the Exchange for entering orders for trading in shares of Carepoint which did not result in a change of beneficial ownership of the security;
2. Stanford consents to an order of the Superintendent pursuant to sections 145 and 145.1 of the Act in the form of order attached hereto as Schedule "A";
3. Stanford waives his right to a hearing a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission pursuant to section 149 of the Act with respect to the order;

Starburst Energy Corp (C-SBR) - Cease Trade Company
Starburst Energy Corp SBR
Tuesday April 10 1984 Cease Trade Company
Effective at the opening of trading on Wednesday, April 11, 1984, trading in the shares of the Company will be suspended. Trading in the Company's shares will be reinstated if, and when, on or before June 10, 1984, the following have occurred:
(a) Julius Karosen, Laurie Brown and Kenneth Charpentier resign as directors and officers of the Company and other individuals, acceptable to the Exchange, have been appointed or elected in their place;
(b) Julius Karosen, Laurie Brown, Kenneth Charpentier and Susan Robertson dispose of the Company's escrow which they own to the individuals appointed or elected in their place;
(c) Leslie Price resigns as a management consultant to the Company; and
(d) The Company's head office is relocated from its current premises.
If all of the above-noted have not occurred before the close of business on June 10, 1984, the shares of the Company will be delisted from trading on the Exchange.
In addition to the foregoing, the Exchange declared that:
(a) It will not accept Kenneth Charpentier, Laurie Brown, Julius Karosen or Susan Robertson as directors or officers of any Exchange-listed company for a minimum of six months; and
(b) It will not accept Leslie Price as a director or officer of any Exchange-listed company, or as a management consultant to any Exchange-listed company, for a minimum period of one year.
The above-noted Exchange decision was made because the management of the Company did not adhere to the Exchange's timely disclosure policy and published misleading information concerning the results of mineral exploration work being conducted on the Company's "Sleepy Hollow Claims" located near Wenatchee, Washington.
For further information, please refer to the Exchange's Supplementary Notice dated April 9, 1984, a copy of which is available from the Exchange Listings Department.
Trading in the Company's shares will remain halted for the duration of today's trading session.
This Supplementary Notice supplements the Exchange Notice dated April 10, 1984.
1. No timely disclosure release publicly announcing the material facts relating to the Company's proposed participation in explorating for minerals on the Sleepy Hollow Claims ("Claims") was made by the Company in late March, 1983.
2. No timely disclosure release publicly announcing the material facts of the Company's termination of its proposed participation in exploring for minerals on the Claims was made by the Company in late May, 1983.
3. No timely disclosure release publicly announcing the material facts of its proposed participation in exploring for minerals on the Claims was made by the Company in or about September, 1983, at a time when its common shares were in the course of primary distribution.
4. The letter dated October 31, 1983, to the Company's shareholders, omitted the material fact that drilling on the first hole had been terminated due to continued caving and poor core recovery.
5. The Company's News Release dated November 24, 1983 was misleading because:
(a) the abandonment and results of the drilling on the first drill hole were omitted;
(b) the statement that core from the first hole had been "submitted for assay" was incorrect (core from that hole had not been, and never was, submitted to assay); and
(c) the results of assays conducted on the "cuttings" taken during the drilling of the second hole, were omitted. Those results were:
INTERVAL OZ TON/SILVER OZ GOLD/TON
155-190 .18 .003
190-220 .06 .003
220-250 .05 .012
250-280 .06 .020
280-310 .07 .012
310-340 .20 .054
6. The Company's News Release dated December 7, 1983 was misleading because:
(a) the Cumo Resources Ltd. announcement of the same date was not disclaimed or accurately corrected by the Company;
(b) the statement that the three diamond drill holes were spaced "approximately 1,000 feet apart" was incorrect (the first two holes had been drilled from the same drill site, and the third hole was located about 800 feet away from the site of the first two holes);
(c) the statement that "the three holes....had positive results" was incorrect (the only "results" which were available at that time were the results from the cuttings from the second hole referred to in subparagraph 5 (c) above);
(d) the statement that "gold mineralization" had been "discovered in the previous core sections" was not correct because no assay results on core were available at that time; and
(e) the abandonment and results of the drilling on the first hole were not disclosed.
7. The Company's Quarterly Report, dated May 9, 1983 did not contain the required disclosure relating to the proposed participation in exploring for minerals on the Claims.
8. The Company's Quarterly Report dated July 14, 1983 did not contain the required disclosure relating to the termination of its proposed participation.
9. The Company's Quarterly Report dated October 10, 1983 did not contain the required disclosure relating to the proposed participation or the progress of the work being conducted on the Claims.
10. Mr. Leslie Price, during the period July 8, 1983 to December 9, 1983, purchased Series "A" Warrants of the Company with the effect of unduly disturbing the normal position of the market for the Series "A" Warrants and created an abnormal market condition in which the market price of the Series "A" Warrants did not reflect their value at the time.
