                           expand any present or future facilities of Licensee
                           and to use and sell the products produced using the
                           Sierre Technology on a world-wide basis, and

                  3.1.9    Rights and/or licenses in the FlexCast Technology and
                           the PAE Twin Roll Casting Technology under the terms
                           and conditions in Appendix CNC hereto.

         3.2      To the extent that (i) Novelis continues the commercial sale
                  of equipment for implementing the FlexStreme Technology and
                  (ii) Novelis offers such equipment to Licensee for sale on
                  terms and conditions (including royalties) at least as
                  favourable to Licensee as the best of those offered to any
                  third party during the preceding 12 months (such conditions
                  (i) and (ii) being referred to herein as a "COMMERCIAL
                  LICENSE"), then Licensee shall operate under the terms of such
                  Commercial License rather than the licenses granted in
                  paragraph 3.1.3 herein

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  until the occurrence of condition (i) or (ii) above. At any
                  time thereafter, Licensee shall be entitled to operate under
                  the license granted under paragraph 3.1.3, as the case may be,
                  with no further action required by either Novelis or Licensee,
                  provided that Licensee shall provide reasonably prompt notice
                  to Novelis that Licensee is operating under the license set
                  forth in paragraph 3.1.3. The licenses provided for in
                  paragraphs 3.1.3 shall not apply to any equipment purchased by
                  Licensee prior to the date of such notice for implementing
                  FlexStreme Technology to the extent that equipment has been
                  acquired with a valid Commercial License. Such previously
                  purchased equipment shall continue to be operated under the
                  terms and conditions specified at the time such equipment was
                  acquired by Licensee.

         3.3      The license granted in paragraph 3.1.8 shall be subject to the
                  condition that it shall only take effect upon the termination
                  or expiry of the Sierre North Building Lease provided such
                  termination is not as the result of a default on the part of
                  Alcan.

         3.4      Except as otherwise provided for herein, all licenses granted
                  to Licensee under this Agreement shall be personal,
                  indivisible, non-exclusive, and non-transferable except as
                  otherwise provided herein and shall be subject to all terms
                  and conditions herein set forth. The licenses granted
                  hereunder shall exist as long as this Agreement is effective
                  in accordance with Article 7.0, provided however that, the
                  non-exclusive licenses granted hereunder are subject to
                  termination in accordance with Article 7.0.

         3.5      Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement,
                  Licensee is not granted and does not have the right to assign,
                  sub-license or otherwise dispose of the Licensed Novelis
                  Technology or any part thereof without the express written
                  consent of Novelis.

         3.6      Licensee may grant sublicenses (i) to third parties (such as
                  customers and vendors) to the extent necessary or appropriate
                  to give commercial effect to the rights sought to be licensed
                  hereunder and (ii) to Alcan Group Companies provided that any
                  such sublicense may be made effective retroactively but not
                  prior to the sublicensee's becoming an Alcan Group Company and
                  any such sublicense shall terminate immediately upon such
                  sublicensee no longer being an Alcan Group Company, except in
                  a transaction that meets the conditions of Section 16.2.

         3.7      Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement
                  and subject to its obligations under the Separation Agreement
                  and the Principal Intellectual Property Agreement, Novelis
                  shall retain all right and title in and to the Licensed
                  Novelis Technology (subject to any limitations inherent in the
                  rights received pursuant to the Principal Intellectual
                  Property Agreement) including without limitation:

                  3.7.1    All unencumbered rights of ownership in and to the
                           Licensed Novelis Technology;

                  3.7.2    The right to use the Licensed Novelis Technology in
                           connection with the marketing, offer, use, sale or
                           other transfer of any product, or service; and

                  3.7.3    The right to license third parties to use the
                           Licensed Novelis Technology;

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  3.7.4    The right (but not the obligation) to file for,
                           prosecute and maintain any applications,
                           registrations or recordation thereof and to bring any
                           action to enforce or otherwise seek to abate any
                           infringement thereof.

         3.8      The Licensee shall have the right (to be exercised reasonably)
                  to request, from time to time, additional information
                  concerning the Licensed Novelis Technology and technology
                  licensed to Novelis under the Principal Intellectual Property
                  Agreement. Novelis shall, subject to the availability of
                  appropriate personnel, supply the information so requested
                  with the related cost and expense of doing so being, if any,
                  being for the Licensee's account.

         3.9      The reference to licenses in this Article 3.0 is intended to
                  cover permission for use as may be required or contemplated by
                  the Principal Intellectual Property Agreement in connection
                  with rights and interests reserved to Alcanint or Alcan Group
                  Companies thereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
                  interpreted so as to contradict any reservation of rights or
                  interests provided for under the Principal Intellectual
                  Property Agreement.

4.0      ROYALTY AND ROYALTY PAYMENT

5.0      TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

         5.1      Alcanint shall have the right (to be exercised reasonably)
                  from time to time to request additional information concerning
                  the Licensed Novelis Technology. Novelis shall, subject to the
                  availability of appropriate personnel, supply the information
                  so requested with the related cost and expense of doing so, if
                  any, being for Alcanint's account. Novelis will provide
                  Alcanint and other Alcan Group Companies such technical
                  consulting and assistance from qualified personnel as may from
                  time to time be reasonably requested by Alcanint or such other
                  Alcan Group Companies with respect to CoCast Technology and
                  Insitu Homogenization Technology and shall be entitled to
                  reasonable per diem fees to be agreed between the parties
                  based on actual cost of providing such services; provided that
                  Novelis shall not be obligated to provide such assistance in
                  excess of (i) ____ person-days in the aggregate or (ii) ____
                  person-days in any calendar month.

6.0      PROTECTION OF INFORMATION

         6.1      Licensee hereby agrees that the Licensed Novelis Technology
                  made available to or produced or developed for it at any time
                  (the "INFORMATION") is confidential information of Novelis and
                  shall not be disclosed to any third party except as may be
                  expressly provided for herein and that Licensee shall have
                  only such rights in the Information as expressly provided
                  herein.

         6.2      The obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure shall
                  not apply to Information to the extent that said Information:

                  6.2.1    is in the public domain through no fault of Licensee,
                           or lawfully is or becomes public knowledge through no
                           breach of this Agreement;

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  6.2.2    was received from any third party on a
                           non-confidential basis and did not originate from
                           Novelis or any of its Subsidiaries; or

                  6.2.3    was disclosed by Licensee pursuant to legal process,
                           governmental request or regulatory requirement;
                           provided, however, that the receiving party shall use
                           all reasonable efforts to provide notice to the
                           disclosing party in order to afford the disclosing
                           party a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective
                           order or an injunction.

         6.3      Specific information shall not be deemed to be within the
                  exceptions of Section 6.2 above merely because such specific
                  information may be construed as being within broader,
                  non-confidential information which is either in the public
                  domain or the possession of the receiving party on the
                  Effective Date nor shall a combination of features which form
                  confidential information be deemed to be non-confidential
                  information merely because the individual features, without
                  being combined, are non-confidential.

         6.4      Licensee shall not use the Information received hereunder for
                  any purpose other than that specified in this Agreement
                  without first obtaining written consent from Novelis.

         6.5      Licensee may disclose the Information received hereunder to
                  its officers, employees, contractors, suppliers, customers,
                  representatives and others to the extent necessary for the
                  normal operation of its business. Licensee shall take
                  reasonable precautions, consistent with past practices, to
                  preserve the value of the Information. Licensee shall advise
                  the appropriate officers, employees, contractors, suppliers,
                  customers, representatives and others to whom such information
                  is supplied of the confidentiality obligation hereunder, and
                  shall ensure that, where appropriate, they have agreed to
                  comply with the provisions of this Article 6.0.

         6.6      The obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure with
                  respect to specific Information received under this Agreement
                  or otherwise shall expire ten years after the termination of
                  this Agreement.

         6.7      The parties recognise that a breach of this Article 6.0 may
                  give rise to irreparable injury to Novelis that cannot be
                  adequately compensated by monetary damages. Accordingly, in
                  the event of a breach or threatened breach, Novelis may be
                  entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to
                  prevent or enjoin a violation of this Article 6.0 and the
                  unauthorised use or disclosure of any confidential Information
                  in addition to such other remedies as may be available for
                  such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
                  damages.

         6.8      No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to require
                  Novelis to furnish any information i) acquired from others on
                  terms prohibiting or restricting disclosure by Novelis, or ii)
                  the furnishing of which is in contravention of any law,
                  regulation, or executive order of any government. Each party
                  shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid
                  conditions that prevent the exchange of information under this
                  Agreement.

         6.9      Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Licensee from using
                  any information that is in the public domain at the time of
                  its use of such information unless such

                                       8
<PAGE>

                  information is in the public domain as a result of Licensee's
                  breach of the confidentiality obligations under this Article
                  6.0.

7.0      TERM AND TERMINATION

         7.1      This Agreement shall be effective until and shall terminate on
                  the *** anniversary of the Effective Date. Upon termination
                  pursuant to this Section 7.1, each of the licenses granted
                  hereunder shall be deemed a fully-paid, perpetual,
                  unrestricted, unconditional license with the right to grant
                  unrestricted sublicenses subject only to any obligation to pay
                  any royalties due to any third party from which the Novelis
                  Technology licensed hereunder was originally acquired. For
                  clarity, the parties intend that upon termination of this
                  agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1, Alcanint shall have
                  all of the rights of a nonexclusive owner of the Novelis
                  Licensed Technology excluding any patents included therein and
                  have the right to use and license such Technology without
                  notice or accounting to Novelis.

         7.2      Should there be a material default by Licensee in the
                  performance of any obligations under this Agreement or the
                  Separation Agreement and such default is not cured within 30
                  days following written notification of such default from
                  Novelis, this Agreement shall terminate on the date specified
                  on such notice which shall not be less than 30 days following
                  the date of such notice, unless Licensee cures such default
                  before such specified termination date.

         7.3      This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the occurrence
                  of any of the following:

                       (a)  the bankruptcy or insolvency of Licensee

                       (b)  the appointment of a receiver for Licensee's assets,

                       (c)  the making by Licensee of a general assignment for
                            the benefit of creditors,

                       (d)  the institution by Licensee of proceedings for a
                            reorganization of Licensee under the Bankruptcy Act
                            or similar legislation for the relief of debtors or
                            the institution of involuntary proceedings by a
                            party other than Licensee which are not terminated
                            in 30 days.

         7.4      Early termination under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 shall not
                  prejudice Novelis' rights to recover any amounts due at the
                  time of such termination nor shall it prejudice any other
                  remedy or cause of action or claim of Novelis accrued or to
                  accrue against Licensee on account of any such default by
                  Licensee.

         7.5      This Agreement may be terminated at the option of Licensee,
                  upon receipt of written notice to Novelis, at any time
                  provided all payments owed hereunder have been remitted to
                  Novelis.

         7.6      Upon early termination of this Agreement pursuant to this
                  Article 7.0, all licenses of Licensed Novelis Technology shall
                  terminate and Licensee shall cease all use of the Licensed
                  Novelis Technology.

                  non-infringement, absence of rights of third parties or other)
                  in respect of Licensed Novelis Technology or any use to be
                  made thereof or any product to be produced therewith. Neither
                  Novelis nor any Novelis Subsidiary shall be liable to
                  Licensee, or any other person, for any damage, injury or loss,
                  including loss of use arising from any activities or
                  obligations under this Agreement; or for any direct or
                  indirect, incidental, consequential special or punitive
                  damages.

         10.2     Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a warranty or
                  representation that any product made, used, sold or otherwise
                  disposed of under any license granted pursuant to this
                  Agreement is or will be free from infringement of patents of
                  third parties.

         10.3     Neither Novelis nor any other of its Subsidiaries or current
                  Affiliates shall have any infringement action or claim against
                  Alcan or any of its current Affiliates in respect of Novelis
                  Technology to the extent of any use of same prior to the
                  Effective Date. None of Novelis, any Novelis Subsidiary nor
                  any of their Affiliates shall have any infringement action
                  against any Alcan Group Company in respect of any past use of
                  Technology.

         10.4     Without limiting Section 10.1 hereof, in no event shall either
                  party or any of their respective Affiliates be liable to the
                  other party or its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates for any
                  special, consequential, indirect, incidental or punitive
                  damages or lost profits, however caused and on any theory of
                  liability (including negligence) arising in any way out of
                  this Agreement, whether or not such party has been advised of
                  the possibility of such damages.

11.0     TRADEMARK, TRADE NAME AND LOGO

         No right is conveyed by either party to the other under this Agreement
         for the use, either directly, indirectly, by implication or otherwise,
         of any trademark, trade name or logo owned by Licensee or Novelis or
         any Alcan Group Company or Novelis Group Company. The parties will
         enter into a separate trademark license agreement, if appropriate.

12.0     NON-WAIVER

         The failure of any party to insist in any one or more instances upon
         the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this
         Agreement or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be
         construed as a waiver for the future of the performance of such one or
         more obligations of this Agreement or of the right to exercise such
         election. No waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement shall be
         held to be a waiver for any subsequent breach.

13.0     NO PARTNERSHIP, JOINT VENTURE

         The parties to this Agreement agree and acknowledge that the Agreement
         does not create a partnership, joint venture or any other relationship
         between Novelis and Licensee save the relationship specifically set out
         herein before and solely for the limited purposes herein.

14.0     FURTHER ASSURANCES, CONSENTS, ETC.

         The parties to this Agreement shall co-operate together using their
         respective commercially reasonable best efforts to take such further
         steps, including the execution and delivery of documentation and
         applications which are required for legal or regulatory purposes or to
         obtain the consents or approvals of third parties or necessary or
         advisable registrations. All fees and expenses related to registrations
         which are advisable or necessary shall be at the expense of Novelis and
         all registrations shall be the responsibility of Novelis. Nothing
         contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted to oblige any party to
         do anything more than apply its commercially reasonable best efforts
         (without material expense to it) to obtain any consent, approval or
         registration which may be required to give full effect to the terms and
         conditions hereof. Similarly, no party shall be obliged to convey any
         rights or do any other thing which would cause it to be in breach of
         any legal or contractual obligation.

15.0     NOTICES

         Any notice, consent or other instrument required or permitted to be
         given by one party to the other party hereunder shall be in writing and

16.0     ASSIGNMENT

         16.1     This Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part,
                  directly or indirectly, by any party hereto without the prior
                  written consent of the other party, and any attempt to assign
                  any rights or obligations under this Agreement without such
                  consent shall be null and void and deemed to be in breach
                  hereof.

         16.2     Notwithstanding the preceding Section 16.1, this Agreement may
                  be assigned (i) by Alcanint to any Alcan Group Company and
                  (ii) by either party in whole in connection with a merger or
                  consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all of the
                  assets of such party, or (iii) by Licensee in part in
                  connection with a sale or other divestiture of a subsidiary,
                  plant or business unit whose field of activity is principally
                  related to the portion of Licensee's business that licenses
                  and makes actual use of the Licensed Novelis Technology under
                  this Agreement; provided, however, that such assignee must
                  expressly agree in writing to be bound by the terms and
                  conditions of this Agreement.

17.0     INDEMNIFICATION

         17.1     Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Novelis and
                  its Affiliates and their respective directors and officers
                  (the "NOVELIS INDEMNITEES") from and against any and all
                  losses incurred or suffered by any of the Novelis Indemnitees
                  arising out of the use of any Licensed Novelis Technology by
                  Licensee or its customers.

         17.2     If any Novelis Indemnitee determines that it is or may be
                  entitled to indemnification by any party (the "INDEMNIFYING
                  PARTY"), under this Article 17.0, (other than in connection
                  with an action subject to Section 17.3), the Indemnified Party
                  shall

                                       12
<PAGE>

                  deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice describing
                  to the extent reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim
                  for indemnification and the amount for which the Indemnified
                  Party reasonably believes it is entitled to be indemnified. If
                  the Indemnifying Party has not responded within 30 days after
                  receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a
                  second notice to the Indemnifying Party within ten days of the
                  expiration of the original 30 day period. Within 30 days after
                  receipt of any second notice, the Indemnifying Party shall pay
                  the Indemnified Party such amount in cash or other immediately
                  available funds unless the Indemnifying Party objects to the
                  claim for indemnification or the amount thereof.

         17.3     Promptly following the earlier of (i) receipt of notice of the
                  commencement of an action by a third party against or
                  otherwise involving any indemnified party, or (ii) receipt of
                  information from a third party alleging the existence of a
                  claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with
                  respect to which indemnification may be sought pursuant to
                  this Agreement, (a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM"), the Indemnified Party
                  shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The
                  failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in
                  this Article 17.0 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
                  its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent
                  that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to
                  give notice. Within 30 days after receipt of such notice, the
                  Indemnifying Party may (i) by giving written notice thereof to
                  the Indemnified Party, acknowledge liability for such
                  indemnification claim and at is option elect to assume the
                  defence of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense
                  or (ii) object to the claim for indemnification set forth in
                  the notice delivered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the
                  first sentence of this Section 17.3; provided that if the
                  Indemnifying Party does not within such 30 day period give the
                  Indemnified Party written notice objecting to such
                  indemnification claim and setting forth the grounds therefor,
                  the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party an
                  additional notice of its claim for indemnification and if the
                  Indemnifying Party does not give the Indemnified Party written
                  notice objecting to such claim within ten days after receipt
                  of such notice the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have
                  acknowledged its liability for such indemnification claim. If
                  the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defence of a
                  Third Party Claim, (x) the defence shall be conducted by
                  counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that the
                  Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such
                  proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own
                  choosing at the Indemnified Party's sole cost and expense; and
                  (y) the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the third
                  Party claim without the prior written consent of the
                  Indemnified Party so long as such settlement includes and
                  unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all claims
                  that are the subject of such Third Party Claim, provided the
                  Indemnifying Party may not agree to any such settlement
                  pursuant to which any remedy or relief, other than money
                  damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible
                  hereunder, shall be applied to or against the Indemnified
                  Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
                  Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If
                  the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defence of a Third
                  Party Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for
                  indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party may require
                  the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on a current basis for
                  its reasonable expenses of defending against such Third Party
                  Claim and the Indemnifying party shall be bound by the result
                  obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party;
                  provided that the

                                       13
<PAGE>

                  Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement
                  effected without its consent, which consent shall not be
                  unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the
                  Indemnified Party in cash the amount, if any, for which the
                  Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified hereunder
                  within 15 days after such Third Party Claim has been finally
                  determined, or in the case of an indemnity claim as to which
                  the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged liability, within
                  15 days after such Indemnifying Party's objection to liability
                  hereunder has been finally determined.

         17.4     If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section
                  17.1 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party, or insufficient
                  to hold it harmless, then the Indemnifying Party shall
                  contribute to the amount paid or payable to such Indemnified
                  Party as a result of such losses in such proportion as is
                  appropriate to reflect all relevant equitable considerations.

         17.5     The remedies provided for in this Article 17.0 are not
                  exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may
                  otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in
                  equity.

18.0     ENTIRE AGREEMENT, AMENDMENTS, ETC.

         18.1     This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
                  understanding between the parties with respect to the subject
                  matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
                  understandings, negotiations and discussions whether oral or
                  written of the parties, and there are no representations,
                  warranties or conditions expressed or implied or otherwise
                  between the parties in connection with the subject matter
                  hereof, except as specifically set forth herein. No amendment
                  to the terms and conditions hereof or waiver in respect
                  thereto shall be binding unless it is in writing and signed by
                  duly authorised representatives of both parties.

         18.2     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach by any party of its
                  obligations under the Principal Intellectual Property
                  Agreement shall be deemed to be a default under this Agreement

         18.3     Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to permit
                  either party to do anything which would be prohibited by the
                  Principal Intellectual Property Agreement. In the event of any
                  conflict between this Agreement and the Principal Intellectual
                  Property Agreement, the latter two shall be paramount.

19.0     DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         THE MASTER AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO DISPUTE RESOLUTION, EFFECTIVE ON
         THE EFFECTIVE DATE, AMONG ALCANINT, NOVELIS AND OTHER PARTIES THERETO
         SHALL GOVERN ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS (WHETHER ARISING IN
         CONTRACT, DELICT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN THE PARTIES THAT MAY ARISE
         OUT OF, OR RELATE TO, OR ARISE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS
         AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING ALL
         ACTIONS TAKEN IN FURTHERANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT) OR THE COMMERCIAL OR
         ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES RELATING HERETO OR
         THERETO.

20.0     MISCELLANEOUS

         20.1     The division of this Agreement into sections, subsections and
                  other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for
                  convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be
                  utilized in the construction or interpretation of this
                  Agreement.

         20.2     The parties hereto have requested that this Agreement and all
                  other documents, notices or written communications relating
                  thereto, be in the English language.

         20.3     The parties may amend this Agreement only by a written
                  agreement signed by each party to be bound by the amendment
                  and that identifies itself as an amendment to this Agreement.

         20.4     Except as expressly stated to the contrary herein, the
                  provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the
                  parties and are not intended to confer upon any person except
                  the parties any rights or remedies hereunder, and there are no
                  third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and this
                  Agreement shall not provide any third person with any remedy,
                  claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other
                  right in addition to those existing without reference to this
                  Agreement.

21.0     GOVERNING LAW

         Recognizing the numerous jurisdictions associated with this Agreement
         and the activities contemplated by it, the parties agree that this
         Agreement shall be governed, construed and interpreted according to the
         laws of the Province of Quebec, Canada without the application of the
         provisions relating to the conflict of laws. Any provision in this
         Agreement prohibited by law or by court decree shall be ineffective to
         the extent of such prohibition without in any way invalidating or
         affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and this
         Agreement shall be construed as if such prohibited provision had never
         been contained herein. Novelis and Licensee hereby agree, however, to
         negotiate an equitable amendment of this Agreement if a material
         provision is adversely affected.

7.       PROTECTION OF INFORMATION

         7.1      Each of Alcanint and Novelis hereby agree that the Information
                  produced or developed for the other Party at any time is
                  confidential information of the Party that requested that the
                  Services be performed and shall not be disclosed to any Third
                  Party except as may be expressly provided for herein and that
                  the Party that generated the Information shall have only such
                  rights in the Information as expressly provided herein.

         7.2      The obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure shall
                  not apply to Information to the extent that said Information:

                  7.2.1    is in the public domain through no fault of the other
                           Party, or lawfully is or becomes public knowledge
                           through no breach of this Agreement; or

                  7.2.2    was received from any Third Party on a
                           non-confidential basis,

                  7.2.3    was disclosed pursuant to legal process, governmental
                           request, or regulatory requirement.

         7.3      Specific information shall not be deemed to be within the
                  exceptions of Section 7.2 merely because such specific
                  information may be construed as being within broader,
                  non-confidential information which is either in the public
                  domain or in the possession of the receiving party on the
                  Effective Date, nor shall a combination of features which form
                  confidential information be deemed to be non-confidential
                  information merely because the individual features, without
                  being combined, are non-confidential.

         7.4      The Party that performed the Services shall not use the
                  Information produced hereunder for any other purpose other
                  than that specified in this Agreement without first obtaining
                  written consent from the other Party.

         7.5      Each Party may disclose the Information it produces hereunder
                  for the other Party to its own officers, employees,
                  contractors, suppliers, customers, representatives and others
                  to the extent necessary for the normal operation of its
                  business. Each Party shall take reasonable precautions,
                  consistent with past practices to preserve the value of the
                  Information. Each Party shall advise the appropriate officers,
                  employees, contractors, suppliers, customers, representatives
                  and others to whom such Information is supplied of the
                  confidentiality obligation hereunder, and shall ensure that,
                  where appropriate, they have agreed to comply with the
                  provisions of this Article 7.

         7.6      The obligations of confidentiality with respect to specific
                  Information received under this Agreement or otherwise shall

         7.7      The Parties recognize that a breach of this Article 7 may give
                  rise to irreparable injury that cannot be adequately
                  compensated by monetary damages. Accordingly, in the event of
                  a breach or threatened breach, the other Party may be entitled
                  to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent or
                  enjoin a violation of this Article 7 and the unauthorized use
                  or disclosure of any confidential Information in addition to
                  such other remedies as may be available for such breach or
                  threatened breach, including the recovery of damages.

         7.8      No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to require
                  either Party to furnish any information (i) acquired from
                  others on terms prohibiting or restricting disclosure, or (ii)
                  the furnishing of which is in contravention of any Applicable
                  Law or Governmental Authorization. Each Party shall use its
                  commercially reasonable efforts to avoid conditions that
                  prevent the exchange of information under this Agreement.

8.       TERM AND TERMINATION

         8.1      The term of this Agreement (the "TERM") shall be from the
                  Effective Date until the date which is the *** year
                  anniversary thereof, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the
                  provisions of this Agreement or except as expressly otherwise
                  provided in this Agreement. Upon expiry or earlier termination
                  of this Agreement, each Party shall retain the licences
                  granted under Sections 5.2 and 5.3, as applicable.

         8.2      Should there be a default in the performance of any material
                  obligation of the other Party under this Agreement and such
                  default is not cured within thirty (30) days following written
                  notification of such default from the aggrieved Party, the
                  aggrieved Party's obligations shall terminate on the date
                  specified on such notice which shall not be less than thirty
                  (30) days following the date of such notice unless the default
                  is cured before such specified termination date. Early
                  termination shall not prejudice either Party's right to
                  recover any amounts due at the time of such termination nor
                  shall it prejudice any other remedy or cause of action or
                  claim accrued or to accrue jointly or severally on account of
                  any such default.

         8.3      This Agreement may be terminated by either Party by giving
                  written notice to the other Party should any of the following
                  events of default occur with respect to the other party:

                  pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

         10.3     Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a warranty or
                  representation that the Services will produce any specific
                  result or Technology or that any product made, used, sold or
                  otherwise disposed with the benefit of any rights or license
                  granted pursuant to this Agreement is or will be free from
                  infringement of patents of Third Parties.

11.      DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND INDEMNITY

         Except to the limited extent provided in Article 10, Alcanint expressly
         disclaims all and any liability or responsibility whatsoever for any

         technology, licensed technology or services provided by Alcanint or
         Novelis, or that any product, is or will be of merchantable quality or
         fit for any particular purpose for which it may be bought or used.
         Alcanint and Novelis shall in no event be liable to the other, or any
         other Person, for any damage, injury or loss, including loss of use

         their respective Affiliates. The Parties will enter into a separate
         trademark license agreement if appropriate.

13.      NON-WAIVER

         The failure of any Party to insist in any one or more instances upon
         the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this
         Agreement or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be
         construed as a waiver for the future of the performance of such one or
         more obligations of this Agreement or of the right to exercise such
         election. No waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement shall be
         held to be a waiver for any subsequent breach.

         applications and registrations in any selected countries and co-operate
         using their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any
         necessary Consent of Third Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement
         shall be interpreted to oblige any Party to do anything more than use
         its commercially reasonable efforts (without material expense to it) to
         obtain any Consent which may be required to give full effect to the
         terms and conditions hereof.

                  way out of this Agreement, whether or not such Person has been
                  advised of the possibility of any such damages; provided,
                  however, that the foregoing limitations shall not limit either

                  respect to Third Party Claims as set forth in Article IX of
                  the Separation Agreement (as if such Article was set out in

                  Liability subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant
                  to Article 18 of this Agreement (as if such Article was set
                  out in full herein by reference to the obligations of the
                  Parties hereunder).

19.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT

         This Agreement, the Separation Agreement and exhibits, schedules and
         appendices hereto and thereto and the specific agreements contemplated
         herein or thereby, contain the entire agreement between the Parties
         with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous
         agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings,
         commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter. No
         agreements or understandings exist between the Parties other than those
         set forth or referred to herein or therein.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights and interests transferred,
         assigned or granted to Novelis, its Affiliates and the other members of
         Novelis Group, or to Alcanint, its Affiliates and the other members of
         Alcan Group, or otherwise to be made available to them pursuant to the
         terms of this Agreement, shall in all respects be subject to the
         provisions of the Separation Agreement and nothing in this Agreement
         shall entitle Novelis or Alcanint to have any rights or pursue any
         activity which would otherwise be restricted by the Separation
         Agreement. The Separation Agreement shall not in defining the assets,
         businesses, rights and obligations to form part of Novelis, be
         interpreted so as to grant, convey or confirm, directly or indirectly,
         any rights in respect of Technology which would be greater than those
         established herein.

20.      CONFLICTS

         In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Separation
         Agreement, the latter shall be paramount.

21.      DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         The Master Agreement with Respect to Dispute Resolution, effective on
         the Effective Date, among the Parties and other parties thereto shall
         govern all disputes, controversies or claims (whether arising in
         contract, delict, tort or otherwise) between the Parties that may arise
         out of, or relate to, or arise under or in connection with, this
         Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including all
         actions taken in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby),
         or the commercial or economic relationship of the Parties relating
         hereto or thereto.

22.      FORCE MAJEURE

         No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent
         that any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations under
         this Agreement results from superior

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

         force ("force majeure") or any act, occurrence or omission beyond its
         reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, such as fires,
         explosions, accidents, strikes, lockouts or labour disturbances,
         floods, droughts, earthquakes, epidemics, seizures of cargo, wars
         (whether or not declared), civil commotion, acts of God or the public
         enemy, action of any government, legislature, court or other
         Governmental Authority, action by any authority, representative or
         organisation exercising or claiming to exercise powers of a government
         or Governmental Authority, compliance with Applicable Law, blockades,
         power failures or curtailments, inadequacy or shortages or curtailments
         or cessation of supplies of raw materials or other supplies, failure or
         breakdown of equipment of facilities or, in the case of computer
         systems, any failure in electrical or air conditioning equipment (a
         "FORCE MAJEURE EVENT"). If a Force Majeure Event has occurred and its
         effects are continuing, then, upon notice by the Party who is delayed
         or prevented from performing its obligations to the other Party, (i)
         the affected provisions or other requirements of this Agreement shall
         be suspended to the extent necessary during the period of such
         disability, (ii) the Party which is delayed or prevented from
         performing its obligations by a Force Majeure Event shall have the
         right to apportion its Services in an equitable manner to all users and
         (iii) such Party shall have no liability to the other Party or any
         other Person in connection therewith. The Party which is delayed or
         prevented from performing its obligations by the Force Majeure Event
         shall resume full performance of this Agreement as soon as reasonably
         practicable following the cessation of the Force Majeure Event (or the
         consequences thereof).

         The rules of construction and interpretation set forth in Section 16.04
         of the Separation Agreement shall apply to this Agreement.

24.      LANGUAGE

         The Parties hereto have requested that this Agreement and all other
         documents, notices or written communications relating thereto, be in
         the English language.

25.      AMENDMENTS

         No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended,
         supplemented or modified by any Party, unless such waiver, amendment,
         supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized
         representative of the Party against whom it is sought to enforce such
         waiver, amendment, supplement or modification.

26.      GOVERNING LAW

         The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed, construed and
         interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Quebec and
         the laws of Canada applicable therein. The terms of the United Nations

27.      SEVERABILITY

         If any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the
         application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a
         court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable,
         the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, or the application of such
         provision to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than
         those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall
         remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
         impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal
         substance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, as the
         case may be, is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon
         such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an
         effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect
         the original intent of the Parties.

28.      EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS
