           (xv)   provide to the Secured Party, from time to time upon demand, a
                  statement of the value of its inventory and a list of its book
                  debts shown in the reverse order of their due date.
                 
9.          The Company agrees with the Secured Party that:

      (a)   it will at all times fully perform and comply with all
obligations imposed on, assumed by or agreed to by it pursuant to this debenture
and any prior

                                                                              9.


encumbrance of the Lands or any part thereof or its interest therein, that it
will pay all rents and perform all obligations under the leases charged by this
debenture and that, if the Company shall fail so to do, the Secured Party may
(but shall not be obliged to) take any action the Secured Party deems necessary
or desirable acting reasonably to cure any default by the Company in the
performance of or compliance with any of the Company's obligations hereunder,
under any lease or imposed upon, assumed by or agreed to by the Company pursuant
to any such prior encumbrance;

      (b) upon receipt by the Secured Party in regard to any such prior
encumbrance or any lease of any written notice of default by the Company, the
Secured Party may rely thereon and take any action as aforesaid, acting
reasonably, to cure such default even though the existence of such default or
the nature thereof may be questioned or denied by the Company or by any party on
behalf of the Company;

      (c) at its option, the Secured Party may discharge past due taxes, Liens,
or other encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances which are not in
default) at any time levied or placed on the Charged Assets and may pay for the
maintenance and preservation of the Charged Assets to the extent the Company
fails to do so in accordance with the Indenture or this debenture, provided,
however, that the Secured Party shall not discharge such taxes, Liens or other
encumbrances or pay for such maintenance or preservation prior to the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default under the Indenture unless the Secured
Party shall have requested the Company to discharge such taxes, Liens or other
encumbrances or pay such amounts and the Company shall have failed or refused to
do so within such period of time as shall have been specified by the Secured
Party in such notice; provided that nothing in this debenture shall excuse the
Company from the performance of any covenants or other promises with respect to
taxes, Liens, prior claims or other encumbrances and maintenances;

      (d) the Company hereby expressly grants to the Secured Party, and agrees
that the Secured Party shall have the absolute and immediate right to enter in
and upon the Lands or any part thereof to such extent and as often as the
Secured Party, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, deems necessary or
desirable, in order to cure any such default by the Company;

      (e) the Secured Party may pay and expend such sums of money as the Secured
Party in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, deems necessary for any purpose
provided for in subparagraphs 9(a), (b), (c) and (d), and the Company hereby
agrees to pay to the Secured Party, immediately upon notification by the Secured
Party and without demand, all such sums so paid and expended by the Secured
Party, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate then in effect in
accordance with the Indenture;
<PAGE>
                                                                             10.


      (f) all sums so paid and expended by the Secured Party and such interest
thereon, shall be secured hereby in addition to all other moneys hereby secured
and in priority to all other mortgages and charges;

      (g) if this debenture is or shall be outstanding at the expiration of the
term of any lease (a "material lease") of real property forming part of the
Charged Assets which is material to the conduct of the Company's business and
the Company shall refuse or neglect to exercise its right, if any, to renew such
material lease and to pay the fees, costs, charges and expenses incidental to
and payable upon such renewals, then, and as often as it shall happen, the
Secured Party may, at its sole discretion, effect such renewals in its own name
or otherwise, and in such case every such renewed material lease and the lands
and buildings thereby demised shall remain and be security to the Secured Party
for the indebtedness and liability secured by this debenture and as well for the
payment of all money paid by the Secured Party for every such renewal and the
Secured Party's costs, charges, and expenses and interest thereon at the
Interest Rate then in effect in accordance with the Indenture;

      (h) it will not: (i) surrender any material lease or any rights of renewal
with respect thereto (except for the leases of the premises located at 2245 St.
Paul, St.-Hyacinthe, Quebec and 3030 Ste. Anne Boulevard, Beauport, Quebec);
subordinate any material lease to any mortgage of the fee interest of the
landlord thereof in the lands subject to such lease, unless in connection with
any such subordination the Company obtains from the holder of such mortgage a
non-disturbance agreement in favour of the Company and its successors and
assigns (including the Secured Party) in form and substance satisfactory to the
Secured Party (save and except that with respect to existing leases, the Company
shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such a
non-disturbance agreement); (ii) terminate or cancel any material lease without
the prior written consent of the Secured Party; or (iii) without the prior
written consent of the Secured Party, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend
any material lease either orally or in writing;

      (i) no release or forbearance of any of the Company's obligations pursuant
to any material lease or pursuant to any prior encumbrance of the Company's
interest in the Lands or any part thereof, including without limitation the
Company's obligations with respect to the payment of rent as provided for in any
such lease, shall release the Company from any of the Company's obligations
pursuant to this debenture;

      (j) unless the Secured Party shall otherwise expressly consent in writing,
the title in fee simple to the property demised by any material lease and the
leasehold estate shall not merge but shall always remain separate and distinct,
notwithstanding the union of said estates either in the landlord of any such
lease or the Company pursuant to any such lease or in a third party, by purchase
or otherwise;
<PAGE>
                                                                             11.


      (k) if the Company shall, at any time before payment in full of the
indebtedness and liability secured by this debenture, acquire the freehold title
to the Lands demised by any lease, this mortgage and charge shall attach and
extend to, and constitute a mortgage and charge of such freehold estate; and

      (l) the Company hereby agrees that it will not place the Charged Assets or
allow the Charged Assets to be placed on any premises that are leased unless the
lessor of such premises has first agreed in writing with the Secured Party to
subordinate and postpone any and all of its claims, security and rights to the
claims and security of the Secured Party; provided that this covenant will not
prohibit the Company from selling the Charged Assets in the normal course of the
Company's business.

10.         The Company hereby agrees that it will at all times, both before and
after default, do or cause to be done such additional things and execute and
deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such further acts and
documents as the Secured Party may reasonably require for the better mortgaging,
charging, confirming and granting of security interests in the present or future
Charged Assets to the Secured Party, including, without limitation, the payment
of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of
this debenture, the granting of the security and the filing, recording, or
registering of any financing statements or other documents in connection
therewith. If any amount payable under, or in connection with, any of the
Charged Assets shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other
instrument, such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to
the Secured Party, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Secured Party.
If at any time the Company shall take and perfect a security interest or
hypothec in any property of an account debtor or any other person to secure
payment and performance of an account receivable, the Company shall promptly
assign such security interest or hypothec to the Secured Party. Such assignment
need not be filed, recorded or registered of public record unless necessary to
continue the perfected status of the security interest or hypothec against
creditors of and transferees from the account debtor or other person granting
the security interest or hypothec.

11.         The Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take any and all 
actions reasonably necessary to defend title to the Charged Assets against all
persons and to defend the security of the Secured Party in such Charged Assets,
and the priority thereof, against any adverse Lien or encumbrance of any nature
whatsoever, except for such Liens or encumbrances permitted by the Secured Party
in writing, including, without limitation, the Permitted Encumbrances.

                                                                             12.


12.         The Company shall remain liable to observe and perform all the 
conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each
contract and agreement, interest or obligation relating to the Charged Assets,
all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof and shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Secured Party and the Holders from any and all such
liabilities.

13.         The Company will not, without the Secured Party's prior written 
consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any its accounts
receivable, or compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full
amount thereof, or release, in whole or in part, any person liable for the
payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon other than
extensions, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements granted or made in
the ordinary course of business.

F.          DEFAULT

14.        Subject to the terms of the Delivery Agreement, all indebtedness and
liability owing by the Company to the Secured Party and hereby secured shall
become payable and the security hereby constituted shall become enforceable upon
the demand by the Secured Party.

15.         The Secured Party may in writing (and not otherwise) waive any 
breach by the Company of any of the provisions contained in this debenture or
any default by the Company in the observance or performance of any provision of
this debenture; provided always that no waiver by the Secured Party shall extend
to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent breach or
default, whether of the same or a different nature, or the rights resulting
therefrom.

G.          REMEDIES OF THE SECURED PARTY

16.         Whenever the security hereby constituted shall have become 
enforceable, and so long as it shall remain enforceable, the Company will have
no right to vote or take any other action with respect to any securities
constituting Charged Assets or receive any dividends or interest (whether
declared or payable before or after the security hereby constituted becoming
enforceable) in respect of the Charged Assets, and the Secured Party may proceed
to realize such security and to enforce its rights by:

      (a)   entry;

      (b) the appointment by instrument in writing of a receiver or receivers of
the Charged Assets or any part thereof (which receiver or receivers may be any

or not) and the Secured Party may remove any receiver or receivers so appointed
and appoint another or others in his or their stead;

      (c)   proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a receiver or receivers or for sale of the Charged Assets or
any part thereof;  or

      (d)   any other action, suit, remedy or proceeding authorized or
permitted hereby or by law or by equity.

            In addition, the Secured Party may file such proofs of claim and
other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claim
lodged in any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other judicial proceedings
relative to the Company.

            The Secured Party or any receiver or receivers so appointed shall
have power to:

            (i)   take possession of and to use the Charged Assets or any part
                  thereof with power to exclude the Company and its officers,
                  employees and agents therefrom;

            (ii)  carry on the business of the Company (including, but not
                  limited to, the taking or defending of any actions or legal
                  proceedings, and the doing or refraining from doing all other
                  things as to it, acting reasonably, may seem necessary or
                  desirable in connection with the business, operations and
                  affairs of the Company);

            (iii) take all such steps as it may consider necessary or desirable
                  for the purposes of preserving, maintaining and completing all
                  or any part of the Charged Assets and making such replacements
                  thereof and improvements and additions thereto as it shall
                  consider expedient;

            (iv)  receive the rents, incomes and profits of any kind whatsoever
                  from the Charged Assets and pay therefrom

                  (A)   any expenses of preserving, maintaining and completing
                        the Charged Assets, of making such replacements thereof
                        and improvements and additions thereto as it may
                        consider expedient and of carrying on all or any part
                        of the business of the Company relating to the Charged
                        Assets, and

                  (B)   any charges against the Charged Assets ranking in
                        priority to or pari passu with the security created by
                        this debenture or the payment of which may be necessary
                        or desirable to preserve or protect all or any part of
                        the Charged Assets or the interest of the Secured Party
                        therein;

            (v)   lease all or any part of the Charged Assets and renew from
                  time to time all or any of the leases on such terms and
                  conditions as the Secured Party may determine;

                                                                             14.


           (vi)   with or without taking possession, take any action or
                  proceedings to enforce the performance of any covenant
                  contained in any of the leases;
                  
           (vii)  enjoy and exercise all the powers of the Company as it
                  considers necessary or desirable for the exercise of any and
                  all of the remedies provided for herein, including, without
                  limitation, the powers to make any arrangement or compromise
                  on behalf and in the name of the Company which it considers
                  expedient, to purchase on credit and borrow money on behalf
                  and in the name of the Company and to advance its own moneys
                  to the Company, all at such rates of interest as it may
                  consider reasonable, and to enter into contracts and undertake
                  obligations on behalf of and in the name of the Company for
                  any and all of the foregoing purposes or which it considers
                  necessary or desirable for the exercise of any of the rights,
                  powers and remedies provided for herein, all of which
                  borrowings, advances and obligations together with interest
                  thereon shall, at the discretion of the Secured Party, be
                  entitled to the security hereof in priority to the payment of
                  the obligations secured by this debenture;
                  
           (viii) borrow money required for the maintenance,
                  preservation or protection of the Charged Assets or any
                  part thereof or the carrying on of the business of the
                  Company;
                  
           (ix)   further charge the Charged Assets in priority to the charge
                  of this debenture as security for money so borrowed;
                  
           (x)    vote and take all other action with respect to any securities
                  constituting Charged Assets and collect all revenues,
                  dividends and distributions distributed in connection with
                  such securities; and
                  
           (xi)   sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the whole or any part of
                  the Charged Assets on such terms and conditions and in such
                  manner as the receiver shall determine.
                 
Every receiver appointed by the Secured Party shall be deemed to be an agent of
the Company and not of the Secured Party for the purposes of (i) carrying on and
managing the business and affairs of the Company and (ii) establishing liability
for all of the acts or omissions of the receiver while acting as such and the
Secured Party shall not be in any way responsible for any acts or omissions on
the part of any such receiver, its officers, employees and agents; provided
that, without restricting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
irrevocably authorizes the Secured Party to 
<PAGE>
                                                                             15.


give instructions to each receiver relating to the performance of its powers and
discretions. The appointment of a receiver or any thing which may be done by the
receiver shall not have the effect of constituting the Secured Party a mortgagee
in possession.

            In addition, the Secured Party may enter upon, use, occupy and
possess the Charged Assets or any part thereof, free from all encumbrances,
Liens and charges, except for Permitted Encumbrances, without hindrance,
interruption or denial of the same by the Company or by any other person or
persons, and may lease or sell the whole or any part or parts of the Charged
Assets. Any sale hereunder may be made by public auction, by public tender or by
private contract, with or without notice and with or without advertising and
without any other formality (except as required by law), all of which are hereby
waived by the Company. Such sale shall be on such terms and conditions as to
credit or otherwise and as to upset or reserve bid or price as to the Secured
Party in its sole discretion may seem advantageous. In the case of any sale on
credit or partly on credit, the Secured Party shall not be accountable for any
proceeds thereof unless and until actually received by the Secured Party in
cash. Such sale may take place whether or not the Secured Party has taken
possession of the Charged Assets.

            The Company agrees to pay to the Secured Party forthwith on demand
all expenses incurred by the Secured Party in the preparation, perfection,
administration and enforcement of this debenture (including without limitation
expenses incurred in considering and protecting or improving the Secured Party's
position, or attempting to do so, whether before or after default), all amounts
borrowed by the receiver from the Secured Party as hereinbefore provided and all
costs, charges, expenses and fees (including, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the fees and expenses of any receiver and legal fees on a
solicitor and client basis) of or incurred by the Secured Party and by any
receiver or receivers or agent or agents appointed by the Secured Party in
connection with the recovery or enforcing of payment of any moneys owing
hereunder, whether by realization, by taking possession or otherwise. All such
sums, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate then in effect in
accordance with the Indenture, shall be secured by the charges contained herein.
To the extent that the aggregate of the principal and accrued interest secured
hereby and such borrowed money, costs, fees and expenses exceed the principal
amount of this debenture, the Company hereby mortgages and charges and grants a
security interest in the Charged Assets to the Secured Party to secure payment
of such excess amount.

            No remedy for the realization of the security hereof or for the
enforcement of the rights of the Secured Party shall be exclusive of or
dependent on any other such remedy, but any one or more of such remedies may
from time to time be exercised independently or in combination; and the exercise
of any remedy under any 
<PAGE>
                                                                             16.


document in any jurisdiction shall not prejudice or affect the exercise of any
remedy under another document in any jurisdiction. The term "receiver" as used
in this debenture includes a receiver and manager.

            The Secured Party shall not, nor shall any receiver appointed by it,
be liable for any failure to exercise its rights, powers or remedies arising
hereunder or otherwise, including without limitation any failure to take
possession of, collect, enforce, realize, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of,
preserve, maintain, complete, protect, replace or improve all or any part of the
Charged Assets, to carry on all or any part of the business of the Company or to
take any steps or proceedings for any such purposes. Neither the Secured Party
nor any receiver appointed by it shall have any obligation to take any steps or
proceedings to preserve rights against prior parties to or in respect of all or
any part of the Charged Assets, whether or not in its possession and neither the
Secured Party nor any receiver appointed by it shall be liable for failure to do
so. Subject to the foregoing, the Secured Party shall use reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Charged Assets in its possession.

17.         Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, any and all payments 
made in respect of the indebtedness and liability secured by this debenture from
time to time may be applied to such part or parts of the indebtedness and
liability secured by this debenture as the Secured Party may see fit, and the
Secured Party shall at all times and from time to time have the right to change
any appropriation as the Secured Party may see fit.

18.         Upon any sale of the Charged Assets by the Secured Party (including,
without limitation, pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a
judicial proceeding) the receipt of the Secured Party or of the officer making
the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the
Charged Assets so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated
to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the
Secured Party or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication
thereof.

H.          RIGHTS OF THE SECURED PARTY

19.         The Secured Party may, in accordance with subparagraph 9(c) of this
debenture, pay and satisfy the whole or any part of any Liens, taxes, rates,
charges or encumbrances now or hereafter existing in respect of any of the
Charged Assets (other than Permitted Encumbrances which are not in default) and
such payments together with all costs, charges and expenses which may be
incurred in connection with making such payments shall form part of the
indebtedness and liability secured by this

debenture and shall be secured by the mortgages, charges and security interests
granted herein. In the event of the Secured Party satisfying any such lien,
charge or encumbrance, it shall be entitled to all the equities and securities
of the person or persons so paid and is hereby authorized to obtain any
discharge thereof and hold such discharge without registration for so long as it
may deem advisable to do so.

20.         The Company grants to the Secured Party the right to set off against

Company, may grant time, renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases and
discharges to, may take securities from and give the same and any or all
existing securities up to, may abstain from taking securities from or from
perfecting securities of, may accept compositions from, and may otherwise deal
with the Company and all other persons and securities as the Secured Party may
see fit.

amend any credit to the Company.

23.         The Secured Party may, in accordance with the Indenture, assign, 
transfer and deliver to any transferee any of the indebtedness and liability
secured by this debenture or any security or any documents or instruments held

transfer or delivery shall release the Company from any of the indebtedness and
liability secured by this debenture; and thereafter the Secured Party shall be
fully discharged from all responsibility with respect to the indebtedness and
liability secured by this debenture and security, documents and instruments so
assigned, transferred or delivered. Such transferee shall be vested with all
powers and rights of the Secured Party under such security, documents or
instruments but the Secured Party shall retain all rights and powers with
respect to any such security, documents or instruments not so assigned,
transferred or delivered. The Company shall not assign any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.

24.         The Secured Party is hereby authorized to file, record or register, 
as the case may be, one or more financing statements, financing change
statements or other documents in all jurisdictions which the Secured Party deems
necessary or appropriate for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing,

secured by this debenture.

25.         The Company hereby appoints the Secured Party the attorney of such 
Company solely for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of this debenture
and taking any action or executing any instrument which the Secured Party may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes herewith, which
appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

26.         The Secured Party and such persons as the Secured Party may 
designate shall have the right, at any reasonable time or times during Company's
