securing the payment of the foregoing and any correspondence relating to the

the Purchaser hereby assumes and undertakes to discharge and perform when due
the liabilities and obligations of the Vendor arising out of the Contracts after
the Closing Time to the extent such liabilities and obligations relate to the
Business after the Closing Time.

2.3 Certain Contracts Not Assigned But Held in Trust.

(a) No Assignment. Notwithstanding any term in section 2.1, this Agreement shall
not constitute an actual or attempted sale, assignment or conveyance of any
Contract or part of any Contract contemplated to be sold, assigned or conveyed
to the Purchaser hereunder and which is:

      (1)   not assignable without the consent of another party and such consent
            has not been obtained; or

      (2)   in respect of which the remedies for the enforcement thereof
            available to the Vendor would not pass to the Purchaser.

In respect of each such Contract, until the date on which a Contract (to the
extent it relates exclusively to the Business) is either assigned to the
Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the applicable Contract or terminated
(and no claims are outstanding or otherwise arise between the parties to such
Contract), the Vendor shall hold each such Contact (to the extent it relates
exclusively to the Business) in trust for the Purchaser, and the Vendor shall,
at the request and under the reasonable direction of the Purchaser, in the name
of the Vendor, take all such action and do or cause to be done all such things
as are, in the opinion of the Purchaser, acting reasonably, necessary or proper
in order to preserve in a reasonable manner the value of such Contracts and that
any moneys received by the Vendor in respect of such Contracts (to the extent
they relate exclusively to the Business) are paid to the Purchaser.

(b) Steps to Obtain Assignment. Subject to section 2.4(d), the Vendor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of all parties necessary
to assign to the Purchaser each Contract (to the extent it relates exclusively
to the Business) which is subject to section 2.3(a). In no circumstance,
however, is the Vendor obliged:

      (1)   to pay or otherwise compensate any party to obtain any such consent;
            or

      (2)   to attempt to obtain any such consent if, in the Vendor's reasonable
            judgment, such attempt would jeopardize the benefit derived by the
            Purchaser from any such Contract.

2.4 Shared Contracts.

(a) Sharing of Original Shared Contracts. The Contracts marked with an asterisk
in Schedule 2.1(b) are applicable both to the Business and to a business of the
Vendor outside of the Business (such Contracts being referred to as the "Shared
Contracts"). The Vendor shall retain the original signed copy of each of the
Shared Contracts. The Vendor shall deliver to the


                                       3
<PAGE>

Purchaser a photocopy of each of the Shared Contracts, except to the extent that
any schedules or appendices in any Shared Contract have no application to the
Business. If the Purchaser, acting reasonably, considers it desirable in
connection with any contemplated, threatened or actual dispute or disagreement
with any customer to obtain the original of any applicable Shared Contract, the
Vendor shall deliver such original to the Purchaser for such period of time as
the Shared Contract is reasonably required by the Purchaser for such purpose.
If, however, at the same time or a later time the Vendor considers it desirable
in connection with any contemplated, threatened or actual dispute or
disagreement with the same customer to retain the original of the applicable
Shared Contract, the parties shall cooperate to satisfy their respective
interests by sharing such original in an equitable manner. Once the Shared
Contract is no longer reasonably required by the Purchaser, such contract shall
be promptly returned to the Vendor.

(b) Product Lines Under Shared Contracts. The product lines covered by the
Shared Contracts which form part of the Business are set out on Schedule 2.4(b).
With respect to the Shared Contracts, the Purchaser shall only be entitled to
the benefits arising with respect to the product lines listed on Schedule 2.4(b)
and the Vendor's obligations set out in section 2.2 shall apply only with
respect to such product lines.

(c) Amounts Under Shared Contracts. Whether expenses are chargeable under a
Shared Contract by a party or whether moneys are payable under a Shared Contract
to the Vendor (due to sales outside of the Business) or to the Purchaser (due to
sales of the Business after the Closing Date), shall be determined by the
parties acting reasonably, based on historical practices, manufacturer reports
and sales to final customers. If the parties are unable to so agree in respect
of any such matter, the President of each of the parties shall meet (including
by telephone) to settle the matter conclusively.

(d) Steps to Obtain Separate Contracts. The Vendor shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of each party to a Shared Contract
necessary to create separate agreements (on terms no less favourable to the
Purchaser than those contained in the Shared Contracts) for the product lines
set out in Schedule 2.4(b). In no circumstance, however, is the Vendor obliged:

      (1)   to pay or otherwise compensate any party to obtain any such
            agreement; or

      (2)   to attempt to obtain any such agreement if, in the Vendor's
            reasonable judgment, such attempt would jeopardize the benefit
            derived by either party from any such Shared Contract.

SECTION 3 - PURCHASE PRICE

3.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor
for the Purchased Assets (the "Purchase Price") is equal to the amount of the
"Purchase Price" as that term is defined in the share purchase agreement of even
date between the Vendor and Spectre Industries, Inc.

3.2 Payment of the Purchase Price. The Purchaser shall satisfy the Purchase
Price on the date of this Agreement by issuing to the Vendor 9,999 common shares
of the Vendor as fully paid and non-assessable.


                                       4
<PAGE>

3.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among
the Purchased Assets in the manner set out below:

      (a)   Accounts Receivable is equal to the amount confirmed by the audit
            thereon conducted in accordance with the share purchase agreement of
            even date between the Vendor and Spectre Industries, Inc.; and

      (b)   Contracts, goodwill, customer information and rights is equal to the
            Purchase Price, less the amount attributed to the Accounts
            Receivable in accordance with section 3.3(a).

The values so attributed to the Purchased Assets are the respective fair market
values thereof and each party shall file in mutually agreeable form all returns
and elections required or desirable under the Income Tax Act (Canada) in a
manner consistent with the foregoing allocations.

3.4 Income Tax Act (Canada) Election. The parties shall, as soon as possible
after the determination of the amount attributable to the Accounts Receivable,
jointly execute an election under section 22 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) with
respect to the sale of the Accounts Receivable and shall designate therein the
portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Accounts Receivable as the
consideration paid by the Purchaser for the Accounts Receivable. The parties
shall each file such elections forthwith after the execution thereof (and, in
any event, with their respective income tax returns for the taxation year which
includes the date of this Agreement).

the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense


                                       8
<PAGE>

thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation undertaken by the
Indemnified Party with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

to the terms of this section 7.

7.2 Appointment of Arbitrators. A party desiring arbitration under this section

interest.

of Canada Inc. in effect at the date of commencement of any arbitration held
under this section 7 shall be applicable to the arbitration, and the Arbitrator
shall have jurisdiction to take such action and make such orders as are
