The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture, as

masculine wherever appropriate. Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 16 hereof.

Credit Facility”) among itself, the Guarantors, the lenders from time to time parties thereto and Citicorp North America, Inc., as Administrative Agent and the Guarantors. 
  
 References herein to the “Securities” refer to the Notes and the Guarantees. 
  
 Holders of the Securities (including the Initial Purchasers and their direct
and indirect transferees) will be entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement to be dated on the original issue date of the Securities (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuers, will agree to
file one or more registration statements with the Commission providing for the registration under the Act of the Securities or the Exchange Securities referred to (and as defined) in the Registration Rights Agreement. 
  
 The sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers will be made without

Material Adverse Effect and except as set forth in or contemplated by the Final Memorandum, the Issuers (i) are and have been in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations, and codes, orders,

 Page 9 

 limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with
Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties); on the basis of such review, the Issuers have reasonably concluded that such associated costs
and liabilities would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

each pension plan for which the Issuers would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (or maintain similar status under any non-United States law) is so qualified (or maintains such status) and nothing
has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, that would cause the loss of such qualification (or such status). 
  
 (ww) None of the Issuers nor, to the knowledge of the Issuers, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of the Issuers is aware of or has taken
any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a material violation by such Persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation,
making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of
the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA; and each of the
Issuers and, to the knowledge of such Issuers, its Affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to
ensure, continued compliance therewith. 
  
 (xx) The operations of
each of the Issuers are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes
of all jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action,
suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority 
  

 Page 10 

 or body or any arbitrator involving the Issuers with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best
knowledge of the Issuers, threatened. 
  
 (yy) None of the
Issuers, nor, to the knowledge of the Issuers, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of the Issuers is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury
(“OFAC”); and the Issuers will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering of the Securities hereunder, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person
or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC. 
  
 (zz) There is and has been no failure on the part of the Parent, its subsidiaries, directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with any
applicable and effective provision of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes Oxley Act”), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to
certifications. 
  
 (aaa) The Issuers maintain a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with applicable generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. 
  
 (bbb) Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures
(as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act); such disclosure controls and procedures (I) are designed to ensure that material information relating to Parent, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
Parent’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the annual reports on Form 40-F are being prepared and (II) have been evaluated for effectiveness as of
the end of the annual period reported to the Commission; the Parent’s auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors have been advised of (A) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect the ability of Parent to record, process, summarize, and report financial information; and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the internal
controls of Parent, any material weaknesses in internal controls have been identified for Parent’s auditors; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have be no significant changes in
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. 
  
 (ccc) The consolidated historical financial statements and schedules of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries included in
the Final Memorandum present fairly in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods indicated, comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved; the selected financial data
set forth under the caption “Selected Financial Information” and “Unaudited Supplemental Information” in the Final Memorandum fairly present in all material respects, on the basis stated in 
  

 Page 11 

 the Final Memorandum, the information included therein; the pro forma adjustments included in the Final Memorandum are
based upon assumptions that provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the transactions and events described therein, the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions, and
the pro forma adjustments reflect in all material respects the proper application of those adjustments to the historical financial statement amounts in the pro forma financial data included in the Final Memorandum; and the pro forma adjustments have
been properly applied in all material respects to the historical amounts where applicable. 
  
 (ddd) Except as disclosed in the Final Memorandum, no relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among the Issuers on the one hand, and the directors, officers, stockholders, customers or suppliers of any of
the Issuers on the other hand, which would be required by the Act to be described in the Final Memorandum if the Final Memorandum were a prospectus included in a registration statement on Form F-1, filed with the Commission. 
  
 (eee) The statistical and market-related data included in the Final
Memorandum are based on or derived from sources which the Issuers believe to be reliable and accurate in all material respects. 
  
 (fff) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Final Memorandum, (i) there has not been any material adverse change, or any
development that is reasonably likely to result in a material adverse change, in the capital stock or limited liability company interests or the long-term debt, or material increase in the short-term debt, of the Issuers from that set forth in the
Final Memorandum, (ii) no dividend or distribution of any kind shall have been declared, paid or made by Parent on any class of its capital stock and (iii) none of the Issuers has entered into any material transaction, except as disclosed in the
Final Memorandum, other than in the ordinary course of business. Since the date hereof and since the dates as of which information is given in the Final Memorandum, there shall not have occurred any material adverse change, or any development that
is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 (ggg) None of the Issuers intends to, nor believes that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. The present fair saleable value of the assets of each Issuer exceeds the amount that will be required to be
paid on or in respect of its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured. The assets of each Issuer do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted
or as proposed to be conducted. Upon the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees, the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Issuers will exceed the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of its existing debts and other
liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured. Upon the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees, the assets of the Issuers will not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as now
conducted, including the capital needs of each Issuer, taking into account the projected capital requirements and capital availability. 
  
 (hhh) The choice of the law of the State of New York as the governing law of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the
Securities is a valid choice of law under the laws applicable in Quebec, Canada, Nova Scotia, Canada and Portugal and courts of such jurisdictions should honor this choice of law; each of the Issuers has the power to submit and has legally, validly,
effectively and irrevocably submitted to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York state courts located in the City of New York (including, in each case, any appellate courts therefrom) in any suit, action or proceeding
against it with respect to its obligations or liabilities under, or any other matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement, the Indenture, the 
  

 Page 12 

 Registration Rights Agreement, the Securities or the Guarantees and has legally, validly, effectively and irrevocably
waived any objection to the venue of a proceeding in any such court; and each of the Issuers has the power to designate, appoint and empower and has legally, validly, effectively and irrevocably designated, appointed and empowered an agent for
service of process in any suit, action or proceeding against it with respect to its obligations or liabilities under, or any other matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, or the
Securities in any U.S. federal or state court in the State of New York. 
  
 (iii) Each of the Issuers’ obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Securities, are subject to civil and commercial law and to suit and none of the Issuers or any of their respective
properties, assets or revenues have any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or counterclaim, from the
jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the
enforcement of a judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations or liabilities under, or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement, the Indenture,
the Registration Rights Agreement, or the Securities; and, to the extent that such Issuer or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such proceedings, such Issuer has
waived and agreed not to plead or claim any such right and has consented to such relief and enforcement. 
  
 (jjj) Except as set forth in the Final Memorandum, any final judgment for a fixed or readily calculable sum of money rendered by any court of the State of
New York or of the United States located in the State of New York having jurisdiction under its own domestic laws in respect of any suit, action or proceeding against any Issuer based upon this Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights
Agreement, or the Securities would be declared enforceable against such Guarantor by the courts in Quebec, Canada, Nova Scotia, Canada and Portugal without reexamination, review of the merits of the cause of action in respect of which the original
judgment was given or relitigation of the matters adjudicated upon or payment of any stamp, registration or similar tax or duty. 
  
 (kkk) It is not necessary under the laws of Canada or Portugal or any political subdivision thereof or authority or agency therein in order to enable the
Initial Purchasers or any Subsequent Purchaser to enforce any rights under this Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, or the Securities that it should, as a result solely of its holding of the Securities, be licensed,
qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in such jurisdictions or any political subdivision thereof or authority or agency therein; each of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Securities is in proper
legal form under the laws of such jurisdictions and any political subdivision thereof or authority or agency therein for the enforcement thereof against any Issuer; and it is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or
admissibility in evidence of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, or the Securities in any such jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or agency therein that any of them be filed or recorded with any court,
authority or agency in, or that any stamp, registration or similar taxes or duties be paid to any court, authority or agency of any such jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof. 
  
 Any certificate signed by any officer of any of the Issuers and delivered to the Representatives or counsel for the Initial
Purchasers in connection with the closing of the offering of the Securities shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Issuer, as to matters covered thereby, to the Initial Purchaser.

 7. Reimbursement of Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to
the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of any of the Issuers to perform any
agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Issuers will reimburse the Initial Purchasers severally through Citigroup Global Markets Inc. on demand for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities. 
  

 Page 19 

 8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Issuers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold
harmless each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Initial Purchaser and each person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal, state or foreign statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum (or in any supplement or
amendment thereto) or any information provided by any Issuer to any holder or prospective purchaser of Securities pursuant to Section 5(h), or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any “wrapped” version thereof constituting
an offering memorandum under applicable Canadian securities laws, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agree to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Issuers will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to any Issuer by or
on behalf of any of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Issuers may otherwise have. 
  
 (b) Each Initial Purchaser severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, each of their
respective directors and officers and each person who controls any Issuer within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers to each Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to
written information furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Issuers acknowledge that (i) the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding the delivery of the Securities, (ii)
the disclosure on page (i) concerning stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids, (iii) the fourth and fifth sentences under “Summary — the Offering — Absence of an Established Market for the Notes,” and (iv)
the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids under the heading “Plan of Distribution,” in each case in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, constitute the only information
furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). 
  
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i)
will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying 
  

 Page 20 

 party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any
obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying
party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the
indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified
party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ one firm of separate counsel (including one firm of local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if
(i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the
indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or
potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a
statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
  
 (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party for any reason, the Issuers on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Issuers and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one
hand and by the Initial Purchaser on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the
Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Issuers and the Initial Purchasers shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Issuers shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by them, and benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be
equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions in each case set forth on the cover of the Final Memorandum. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Issuers on the one hand or the Initial Purchasers 
  

 Page 21 

 on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such untrue statement or omission. The Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Initial
Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls an Issuer within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of an Issuer shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Issuers, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). The Initial Purchasers’ obligations in this paragraph (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
obligations and not joint. 
  
 9. Termination. This Agreement
shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally on the New
York Stock Exchange or Toronto Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. federal, Canadian or New York
State authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States or Canada of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such
as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 

 
 10. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements,
representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Issuers or their respective officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or the Issuers or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. The provisions
of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 
  
 11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Citigroup Global Markets Inc. General
Counsel (fax no.: (212) 816-7912) and confirmed to the General Counsel, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, Attention: Secretary; or, if sent to the Issuers, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to

 12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and, except as expressly set forth in Section 5(h) hereof, no other person will have any right or
obligation hereunder.

 EXHIBIT A 
  
 Selling Restrictions for Offers and 
 Sales
Outside the United States 
  
 1. (a) The Securities have not been
and will not be registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Regulation S under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Act. Each Initial Purchaser represents and agrees that, except as otherwise permitted by Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement to which this is an exhibit, it has offered and sold the Securities, and will offer and sell
the Securities, (i) as part of their distribution at any time; and (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Act. Accordingly,
each Initial Purchaser represents and agrees that neither it, nor any of its Affiliates nor any person acting on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Securities, and that it and they have
complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. Each Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to the confirmation of sale of Securities (other than a sale of Securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) of the
Agreement to which this is an exhibit), it shall have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Securities from it during the distribution compliance period a confirmation or
notice to substantially the following effect: 
  
 “The
Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their
distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and [specify closing date of the offering], except in either case in accordance with Regulation S or Rule 144A under the Act. Terms used
above have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.” 
  
 (b). Each Initial Purchaser also represents and agrees that it has not entered and will not enter into any contractual arrangement with any distributor with respect to the distribution of the Securities, except with its Affiliates or with
the prior written consent of Intertape US. 
  
 (c). Terms used in
this section have the meanings given to them by Regulation S. 
  
 2. Each Initial Purchaser represents and agrees that it has (i) not offered or sold, and, prior to the expiry of six months from the closing of the offering of the Securities will not offer or sell, any Securities to persons in the United
Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments, whether as principal or agent, for purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and
will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995, (ii) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated
any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) does not apply to the Issuers, and (iii) it has complied with and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise
involving the United Kingdom. 
  
 3. Each Initial Purchaser
understands and acknowledges that no action has been or will be taken (except for the preparation and delivery of any Canadian Offering Memorandum) in any jurisdiction by the Issuers that would permit a public offering of the securities, or
possession or distribution of either Memorandum or any other offering or publicity material relating to the Securities, in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. 
  
 4. Each Initial Purchaser has complied and will comply with all applicable
laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires, offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes either the Memorandum or any other offering or publicity material relating to the Securities. 
  

 Page 30 

 EXHIBIT B 
  
 OPINION OF US COUNSEL FOR THE ISSUERS 
  
 The opinion of US counsel to the Issuers shall be to the effect that: 
  
 (i) each of the entities listed on Schedule II to the Purchase Agreement under the heading U.S. Issuers (the “US Issuers”) has been duly
incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is chartered or organized, with full corporate power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its property
and conduct its business as described in the Final Memorandum, and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction which requires such qualification; 
  
 (ii) all the outstanding shares of capital stock of the US Issuers, and each
subsidiary have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Final Memorandum, all outstanding shares of capital stock of the US Issuers are owned as described in the
Final Memorandum either directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries free and clear of any perfected security interests, and to the knowledge of such counsel, free and clear of any other security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances based on a
review of the jurisdictions set forth in Annex A; 
  
 (iii) the
Indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of, and executed and delivered by, the US Issuers and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuers (assuming that the Indenture is a valid and binding obligation of
the Trustee), enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar

 (iv) the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action of, and executed by, Intertape US, and when the Notes are authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will have been validly
issued and delivered by Intertape US and will constitute valid and binding obligations of Intertape US (assuming that the Indenture is a valid and binding obligation of the Trustee), enforceable against Intertape US in accordance with their terms,
except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar laws, regulations or judicial opinions of general applicability relating to
or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general equitable principles, whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or at equity; 
  
 (v) The Exchange Securities have been duly authorized by the Issuers, and when the Exchange Securities are issued, executed
and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture, the Exchange Securities will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will be the valid and binding obligations of the Issuers,
enforceable against such Issuer in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar laws,
regulations or judicial opinions of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general equitable principles, whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or at equity.

  
 (vi) the Guarantee of the Notes by each US Issuer (other than
Intertape US, the “US Guarantors”) has been authorized by all necessary corporate action of each US Guarantor and, when delivered by each Guarantor will have been validly issued and delivered by each US Guarantor and will constitute the
valid and binding obligations of each of the Guarantors (assuming that the Indenture is a valid and binding obligation of the Trustee), enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with its terms except as the enforcement thereof may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar laws, regulations or judicial opinions of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and
remedies generally and by general equitable principles, whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or at equity; 
  
 (vii) The Guarantees to be endorsed on the Exchange Securities have been duly authorized by each US Guarantor and, when executed and delivered in
accordance with the Indenture, will, upon due execution and delivery of the Exchange Securities by the Issuers and due authentication of the Exchange Securities by the Trustee against exchange therefor in accordance with the 
  

 Page 31 

 Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, be the valid and binding obligations of each Guarantor, enforceable
against each Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar laws, regulations or
judicial opinions of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general equitable principles, whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or at equity. 
  
 (viii) the Registration Rights Agreement has been authorized by all necessary
corporate action of, and executed by each US Issuer and delivered by, each Issuer and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each Issuer (assuming that the Registration Rights Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of the Initial
Purchasers), enforceable against each Issuer in accordance with its terms except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar
laws, regulations or judicial opinions of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general equitable principles, whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or at equity,
and except as the rights to indemnification and contribution thereunder may be limited by principles of public policy and applicable securities laws; 
  
 (ix) this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of, and executed and delivered by the US Issuers and; 
  
 (x) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the
Initial Purchasers it is not necessary in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers under this Agreement or in connection with the initial resale of such Notes by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with this
Agreement and as contemplated by the Final Memorandum to register the Notes under the Securities Act or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 
  

(xi) none of the US Issuers is required to register as an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940; 
  
 (xii) Neither the execution and delivery of the
Indenture or this Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Securities, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof or thereof will conflict with, result in a breach or
violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or asset of any US Issuer pursuant to, (i) the charter or by laws of such Issuer; (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note
agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which such Issuer is a party or bound or to which its or their property is subject; or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree
applicable to such Issuer of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over such Issuer or any of its properties except which violation or default would, in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii) above, either individually or in the aggregate with all other violations and defaults referred to in this paragraph (xiii) (if any), have a Material Adverse Effect or (y) a material adverse effect upon the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any Initial Purchaser; 
  
 (xiii) No consent, approval, authorization, filing or order, registration or qualification of or with any governmental agency or body or any court is required for the issue and sale by the US Issuers of the Securities or the consummation by

 Page 32 

 such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations or qualifications as have been obtained under the
Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, (y) as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers (as to which such counsel need express no
opinion), and (z) such filings with the Commission relating to the issuance and exchange of the Exchange Securities; 
  
 (xiv) The Indenture conforms in all material respects to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
applicable to an indenture which is qualified thereunder; 
  
 (xv)
the statements contained in the Final Memorandum under the captions “Risk Factors—Our operations are subject to comprehensive environmental regulation and involve expenditures which may be material in relation to our operating cash
flow”, and “—Fraudulent conveyance laws could void the obligations of the guarantors”, —Environmental Regulations,” “Description of Notes,” “Description of Other Indebtedness,” “Exchange Offer;
Registration Rights,” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” insofar as such statements purport to summarize the laws, legal matters or provisions of documents referred to therein, present fair summaries of such
laws, legal matters or provisions of documents. 
  
 (xvi) No stop
order, restraining order or denial of an application for approval has been issued by the Commission or to the knowledge of such counsel by any other governmental agency and, to the knowledge of such counsel, no investigation, proceeding or
litigation has been commenced or threatened before the Commission or any other governmental agency with respect to the making or consummation of the offer or sale of the Securities or the transactions contemplated by the Final Memorandum by the US
Issuers [(Counsel to confirm conversation with the SEC]; 
  
 (xvii) To the knowledge of such counsel (after a review of the jurisdictions set forth in Annex A) there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any
arbitrator involving any of the US Issuers or its property other than set forth in Annex B. 
  
 (xviii) such counsel has no reason to believe that the Final Memorandum, as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that such counsel need express no belief with respect to (A) the financial statements and other financial data or (B) the
information referred to under the caption “Independent Accountants,” as having been included in the Final Memorandum on the authority of Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, General Partnership, as independent accountants contained in the Final
Memorandum;

 EXHIBIT C-1 
  
 OPINION OF CANADIAN COUNSEL FOR THE ISSUERS 
  
 The opinion of Canadian counsel to the Issuers shall be to the effect that: 
  
 1. Each of the entities listed on Schedule II to the Purchase Agreement under the heading Canadian Issuers (the “Canadian Issuers”) is a
corporation amalgamated or incorporated and existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Each of the Canadian Issuers has all necessary corporate power and authority to own or lease its property and to carry on its business as described in
the Final Memorandum, and is duly qualified to do business as an extra provincial corporation under the laws of the 
  
 Province of ? [Note to draft: To the extent any issuer is extra provincially registered in Ontario, Alberta or British Columbia, we will name such provinces] and is
registered under an Act Respecting the Publicity of Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships and Legal Persons (Quebec). 
  
 2. Each of the Canadian Issuers has all necessary corporate power and authority to enter into each of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Indenture, the guarantee of the Notes and the guarantee of the Exchange Notes (collectively, the “Relevant Agreements”) to which it is a party and to carry out its obligations under the Relevant Agreements to which it is a party.

  
 3. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Canadian
Issuers have been duly and validly authorized and issued (other than Intertape Polymer Group Inc.) and (other than Intertape Polyment Group Inc.) are fully paid and non-assessable and, except as otherwise set forth in the Final Memorandum, all
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Canadian Issuers (other than Intertape Polymer Group Inc.) are owned as in the Final Memorandum either directly or through wholly owned subsidiaries [Note to draft: We will be assuming that the registered
shareholders of such entities are the owners of the shares] and to our knowledge, such shares are not subject to a pledge or other possessory security interest in favour any person [Note to draft: Need to verify if such shares will continue to be
held by the Collateral Trustee]. 
  
 4. The execution and delivery
of, and the performance of its obligations under, each of the Relevant Agreements to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of the Canadian Issuers. 
  
 5. To the extent governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec, each of the
Relevant Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by each Canadian Issuer that is a party thereto. 
  
 6. Neither the execution and delivery of the Indenture or this Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Securities, nor the consummation of any other of
the transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof or thereof will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or asset of any Canadian
Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, (i) the articles or by laws of such Canadian Issuer; (ii) [Nova Scotia Issuer to be added to this opinion] the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan
agreement or other agreement or instrument listed in Annex A to this Opinion (the “Material Agreements”), provided, for the purpose of such opinion, we have, with your permission, applied the laws of the Province of Quebec to the Material
Agreements notwithstanding any governing law provision contained therein; (iii) any Quebec or Canadian statute, law, rule or regulation having the force of law; or (iv) to our knowledge, any judgment, order or decree of any Quebec or Canadian court,
agency or tribunal to which the Canadian Issuers are subject. 
  
 7. No registrations, filings, recordings, authorizations, approvals, consents, orders, qualifications, licenses, exemptions or other requirements of or with any court or governmental authorities under the laws of the Province of Quebec or
the federal laws of Canada applicable therein are required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by and enforcement against each Canadian Issuer of the Relevant Agreements to which it is a party or in connection with the issue,
sale and delivery of the Securities in the United States as contemplated by this Agreement other than those which have already been obtained. 
  

 Page 34 

 8. No registration, filing or recording of the Indenture under the laws of the Province of Quebec, or
under the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, is necessary in order to preserve or protect the validity or enforceability of the Indenture or the Securities issued thereunder. 
  
 9. The statements contained in the Final Memorandum under the caption “Risk Factors — Fraudulent conveyance laws
could void the obligations of the guarantors”; “Risk Factors — Canadian bankruptcy and insolvency laws may impair the ability of the trustee under the indenture governing the notes to enforce remedies under the notes”;
“Description of Notes — Guarantees”; “Description of Notes — Additional Amounts” and “Description of Notes — Enforceability of Judgments Against Parent”, insofar as such statements purport to summarize
the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, are fair descriptions of those laws. 
  
 10. To our knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any
arbitrator involving any of the Canadian Issuers or their property that is not adequately disclosed in the Final Memorandum, except in each case for such proceedings that, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would not singly
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 11. A
court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Quebec would uphold the choice of the law of the State of New York (“New York Law”) as the law governing each of the Relevant Agreements as a valid choice of law, provided that such choice
of law is bona fide and provided that the application of the provisions of New York Law sought to be applied is not manifestly inconsistent with public order, as understood in international relations, as that term is applied by a court of competent
jurisdiction in the Province of Quebec and subject to the rules of law in force in the Province of Quebec which are applicable by reason of their particular object. We are not aware of any reason under the laws of the Province of Quebec and the laws
of Canada applicable therein for disregarding the choice of New York Law to govern the Relevant Agreements. In a motion to enforce a final and conclusive judgment in personam of any New York Court that is not impeachable as void or voidable under
New York Law, a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Quebec would give effect to the appointment by each of the Canadian Issuers of Corporation Service Company as its agent to receive service of process in the United States under any
Relevant Agreement providing for such appointment and to the provisions in the Relevant Agreement whereby the Canadian Issuer submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of a New York Court. 
  
 12. If a Relevant Agreement is sought to be enforced in the Province of
Quebec in accordance with the laws applicable thereto as chosen by the parties, namely New York Law, a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Quebec would, subject to paragraph 11, give effect to the choice of New York Law, and upon
appropriate evidence as to such law being adduced, would apply such law, provided that none of the provisions of the Relevant Agreements or of applicable New York Law are manifestly contrary to public order as understood in international relations,
as that term is applied by a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Quebec; provided that those rules in force in the Province of Quebec which are applicable by reason of their particular object will be applied and provided that the
provisions of New York Law of a fiscal, expropriatory or penal nature will not be applied; and provided that, in matters of procedure, the laws of the Province of Quebec will be applied; provided that the laws of New York are proven and provided
that a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Quebec will retain discretion to decline to hear such action if it is not the proper forum to hear such an action, or if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere. We are not aware
of any reason under the laws of the Province of Quebec or the laws of Canada applicable therein for avoiding enforcement of a Relevant Agreement based on public order as 
  

 Page 35 

 understood in international relations, as that term is applied by a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of
Quebec (other than the enforcement of the indemnity and contribution provisions of this Agreement, with respect to which we express no opinion). 
  
 13. The laws of the Province of Quebec and the laws of Canada applicable therein permit a motion to be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in
the Province of Quebec to enforce a final, conclusive and enforceable judgment in personam for a sum certain rendered by a New York Court respecting the enforcement of this Agreement if the judgment is neither subject to ordinary remedy (such as
appeal and judicial review) nor impeachable as void or voidable under the internal laws of the State of New York unless: 
  
 (a) the New York Court rendering such judgment does not have jurisdiction over the judgment debtor (although submission by a Canadian
Issuer to the jurisdiction of the New York Courts pursuant to each of the Relevant Agreements will be sufficient for that purpose); 
  
 (b) such judgment is not final and enforceable at the place it was rendered; 
  
 (c) such judgment was rendered in contravention of the
fundamental principles of procedure; 
  
 (d)
there were proceedings pending in the Province of Quebec or judgment was rendered in the Province of Quebec or in a third country meeting the necessary conditions for recognition in the Province of Quebec between the same parties, based on the same
facts and having the same object; 
  
 (e) such
judgment is manifestly inconsistent with public order as understood in international relations, as that term is applied by a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Quebec; 
  
 (f) such judgment enforces obligations arising from the taxation laws of a foreign country, unless there is
reciprocity, or arising from other laws of a public nature, such as penal or expropriation laws; 
  
 (g) the action to enforce such judgment is not commenced in the Province of Quebec within the applicable prescriptive period; or

  
 (h) the foreign judgment is contrary to an
order made by the Attorney General of Canada under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or by the Competition Tribunal under the Competition Act (Canada) in respect of certain judgments (as defined therein). 
  
 Further, if the judgment of the New York Court is rendered by default, the
plaintiff must prove that the act of procedure initiating the proceedings was duly served on the defendant (in accordance with the laws of the place where such judgment was rendered, i.e. New York Law), and a court of competent jurisdiction in the
Province of Quebec may refuse recognition or enforcement of the judgment if the defendant proves that, owing to the circumstances, it was unable to learn of the act of procedure or it was not given sufficient time to offer its defense. 

 
 In any such motion brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in
the Province of Quebec, the court will confine itself to verifying whether the judgment of the New York Court meets the foregoing requirements without entering into any examination of the merits of the judgment. 
  
 Under the Currency Act (Canada), a court of competent jurisdiction in the
Province of Quebec may only render judgment for a sum of money in 
  

 Page 36 

 Canadian currency, and in enforcing a foreign judgment for a sum of money in a foreign currency, a court of competent
jurisdiction in the Province of Quebec will render its decision in the Canadian currency equivalent of such foreign currency calculated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date the judgment became enforceable at the place where it was
rendered. 
  
 We are not aware of any reasons under the present
laws of the Province of Quebec and the laws of Canada applicable therein for avoiding recognition of judgments of a New York Court under the Relevant Agreements based upon public order as understood in international relations, as that term is
applied by a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Quebec, provided that no opinion is expressed with respect to the enforcement of any judgment premised on the indemnity and contribution provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 We have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives
of the Issuers, representatives of the independent chartered accountants for the Issuers, United States counsel for the Issuers and representatives of and counsel for the Initial Purchasers at which conferences the contents of the Preliminary
Memorandum and Final Memorandum and related matters were discussed. We do not assume any responsibility for and express no opinion with respect to the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Final Memorandum (other than
as set forth in paragraph (9)), and have relied upon the judgement of officers and representatives of the Canadian Issuers as to questions of materiality. For the purposes hereof, “misrepresentation” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto
in Section 5 of the Securities Act (Quebec). Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent verification or investigation to determine the existence or absence of facts or circumstances and no reference as to
our knowledge of the existence or absence of facts should be drawn from our representation of the Canadian Issuers. Based on and subject to the foregoing, we confirm that nothing has come to our attention in the course of our review as counsel for
the Canadian Issuers that would lead us to believe that the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for financial statements, notes and schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein or
omitted therefrom, as to which we make no statement), at the time such Final Memorandum was issued, at the time any such amended or supplemented Final Memorandum was issued or at the Closing Time, as it relates to the Canadian Issuers, included or
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. A material fact in relation
to the offering of the Securities means a fact that significantly affects, or would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on, the market price or value of the Securities. We are not qualified to judge the impact which any facts may
have in the securities marketplace. Our comment set out above concerning the materiality of facts which have come to our attention is based on our experience in practising securities law and on the meaning of a material fact as stated above and
should not be interpreted as an opinion or expert comment about financial facts or the impact of any facts on market price or values of securities. 
  
 The expressions “to our knowledge” and “known to us,” as used in this opinion with respect to the existence or absence of facts or
circumstances, means the actual knowledge of information, facts or circumstances by any member of the Montreal office of Stikeman Elliott LLP having active involvement with the Issuers and the Canadian Issuers. Except to the extent expressly set
forth herein, we have made no independent verification or investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts or circumstances, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts or circumstances should be
drawn merely from our representation of the Issuers and the Canadian Issuers.

 OPINION OF NOVA SCOTIA COUNSEL FOR THE ISSUERS 
  
 The opinion of Nova Scotia counsel to the Issuers shall be to the effect that: 
  
 1. IPG Holding Company of Nova Scotia (the “Nova Scotia Issuer”) is a company
existing under the laws of Nova Scotia. The Nova Scotia Issuer has all necessary corporate power and capacity to own or lease its property and to carry on its business, in each case as described in the Officer’s Certificate. 
  
 2. Each of the Nova Scotia Issuer and Intertape Polymer Inc. is registered to carry on
business under the Corporations Registration Act (Nova Scotia) and is in good standing as to the filing of annual returns and payment of annual fees thereunder. 
  

3. The Nova Scotia Issuer has all necessary corporate power and capacity to enter into each of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Indenture, the guarantee of the Notes and the guarantee of the Exchange Notes (collectively, the “Relevant Agreements”) and to carry out its obligations thereunder. 
  
 4. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Nova Scotia Issuer have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid
and, subject to rules of general application to unlimited companies, non-assessable, and all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Nova Scotia Issuer are registered in the name of IPG Holdings L.P. 
  
 5. The execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, each of the
Relevant Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Nova Scotia Issuer. 6. To the extent governed by the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia, each of the Relevant Agreements has been duly executed and
delivered by the Nova Scotia Issuer. 
  
 7. Neither the execution and delivery of
the Indenture or the Purchase Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Securities, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions therein contemplated, nor the fulfillment of the terms thereof will conflict with, result in a breach or
violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or asset of the Nova Scotia Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, (i) the memorandum of association or articles of association (being the constating
documents) of the Nova Scotia Issuer; or (ii) any statute, law, published rule or regulation of the Province of Nova Scotia applicable to the Nova Scotia Issuer. 
  
 8. No registrations, filings, recordings, authorizations, approvals, consents, orders, qualifications, licenses or exemptions of or with the
Province of Nova Scotia or any court or governmental authority therein having jurisdiction under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia or the federal laws of Canada applicable therein are required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by the Nova Scotia Issuer of or are required to be obtained at this time in connection with the enforcement against the Nova Scotia Issuer, of the Relevant Agreements or in connection with the issue, sale and delivery of the Notes in the
United States of America as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. [Assumes no securities sold in Nova Scotia] [modified opinion to be required in event securities are sold in Nova Scotia] 
  

 Page 38 

 9. No registration, filing or recording of the Indenture under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia, or under the
federal laws of Canada applicable therein, is necessary in order to preserve or protect the validity or enforceability of the Indenture or the Notes issued thereunder. 
  
 10. The statements contained in the Final Memorandum under the caption “Risk Factors — Fraudulent conveyance laws could void the
obligations of the guarantors”, “Description of Notes — Guarantees,” (final sentence of second paragraph only) and “Description of Notes — Enforceability of Judgments Against Parent”, insofar as such statements
purport to summarize the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia and the federal laws of Canada applicable in the Province of Nova Scotia are fair descriptions of those laws. 
  
 11. The choice of the laws of the State of New York (“New York Law”) as the governing law of each Relevant Agreement will be
upheld as a valid choice of law by a court of competent jurisdiction of the Province of Nova Scotia (a “Nova Scotia Court”) provided that such choice of law is bona fide (in the sense that it was not made with a view to avoiding the
consequences of the law of any other jurisdiction) and is not contrary to public policy as this term is understood under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia (“Nova Scotia Law”). Based solely on our review of the Relevant Documents and
of Nova Scotia Law and without having any knowledge of New York Law, we have no reason to believe that the choice of New York Law as the governing law of any of the Relevant Agreements would be found contrary to public policy under Nova Scotia Law.

  
 12. In the event that a Relevant Agreement is sought to be enforced in the
Province of Nova Scotia, in accordance with New York Law, a Nova Scotia Court would, subject to paragraph 11, recognize the choice of law and apply New York Law, upon proof of those laws, except to the extent that the provisions of the Relevant
Agreement or New York Law are contrary to public policy as that term is understood under Nova Scotia Law, or those laws are foreign revenue, expropriatory or penal laws; provided, however, that: 
  

	(a)	in matters of procedure or laws in force in Nova Scotia which are applicable by reason of their particular object, a Nova Scotia Court will apply Nova Scotia Law;

  

	(b)	a Nova Scotia Court will retain discretion to decline to hear such an action if it is not the proper forum to hear such an action, or if another action between the same parties
based on the same subject matter is properly pending before a foreign authority or a decision thereon has been rendered by a foreign authority; 

  

	(c)	a Nova Scotia Court may not enforce an obligation enforceable under New York Law where performance of the obligation would be illegal by the laws of the place of performance; and

  

	(d)	there is compliance with the Limitations Act (Nova Scotia). 

  
 A Nova Scotia Court may, however, reserve to itself an inherent power to decline to hear such an action if it is contrary to public policy, as that term is understood
under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia, for it to do so. 
  
 13. Nova
Scotia Law permits an action to be brought in a Nova Scotia Court for the enforcement of a final and conclusive civil judgment for a sum certain obtained in any New York Court against the Nova Scotia Issuer or [list of relevant companies] (each a
“Canadian Issuer”) in connection with any action arising out of or relating to a Relevant Agreement which judgment is not impeachable as void or voidable under New York Law without reconsideration of the merits thereof provided that:

  

	(a)	the New York Court rendering such judgment had jurisdiction over the Canadian Issuer according to Nova Scotia Law (and submission by a Canadian Issuer to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the New York Courts and service upon the Canadian Issuer pursuant to each of the Relevant Agreements will be sufficient to provide such jurisdiction); 

  

 Page 39 

	(b)	such judgment was not obtained by fraud or in any manner contrary to natural justice or in contravention of fundamental principles of procedure and the enforcement thereof would not
be inconsistent with public policy as such term is understood under Nova Scotia Law; 

  

	(c)	enforcement of such judgment does not constitute, directly or indirectly, the enforcement of foreign revenue laws (including taxation laws) or expropriatory or penal laws;

  

	(d)	the judgment is not contrary to the final and conclusive judgment of any other jurisdiction; 

  

	(e)	such judgment was not obtained contrary to an order made by the Attorney General of Canada under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or by the Competition Tribunal
under the Competition Act (Canada); 

  

	(f)	a sum of money will be converted by a Nova Scotia Court as required by law; and 

  

	(g)	there has been compliance with the Limitations Act (Nova Scotia).

	5.4	the capacity, power and authority to execute, deliver, observe and perform the Documents of all parties thereto (other than FIBOPE); and

	6.	OPINIONS 

  
 Based upon the foregoing and subject to any matters not disclosed to us and subject to the qualifications set out below we are of the opinion that at the date hereof: 
  

	6.1	Status: 

  

	(a)	FIBOPE is a corporation duly organised, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Portugal, no order having been made or effective resolution having been passed for
its winding-up, liquidation or dissolution; 

  

	(b)	FIBOPE has all necessary corporate power and authority to own or lease its property and to carry on its business as described in the Final Memorandum, and is duly qualified to do
business as a Portuguese corporation; 

  

	(c)	All the shares of the share capital of FIBOPE have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Final
Memorandum, all the shares of the share capital of FIBOPE are owned as described in the Final Memorandum either directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries free and clear of any security interest, claims, liens or encumbrances.

  

 Page 42 

	6.2	Power and Authorisation: 

  

	(a)	FIBOPE has full corporate power to enter into, deliver and to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under the Relevant Documents, as appropriate, and to incur the
obligations referred to therein and all corporate and other action required to authorise the execution and delivery of the Relevant Documents on its behalf and the performance of its obligations and the exercise of its rights thereunder has been
duly taken and it has duly executed such documents; 

  

	(b)	The execution, delivery and performance of the Relevant Documents by FIBOPE does not and will not result in any violation of, or conflict with, the bylaws of FIBOPE;

  

	(c)	The execution, delivery and performance of the Relevant Documents by FIBOPE does not and will not result in any violation of, or conflict with, the laws of Portugal.

  

	6.3	Consents: 

  

	(a)	With the exception of those already obtained, no authorisations, approvals, licences, consents, registrations, exemptions, filings or declarations are required by or otherwise
appropriate under the laws of Portugal in order for FIBOPE to execute, deliver or perform the Relevant Documents or any other documents and instruments to be delivered by it pursuant thereto; 

  

	(b)	No registration, filing or recording of the Indenture under the laws of Portugal is necessary in order to preserve or protect the validity or enforceability of the Indenture or the
Notes issued thereunder. 

  

	6.4	Execution: 

  

	(a)	To the extent governed by the laws of Portugal, each of the Relevant Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by FIBOPE. 

  

	(b)	The statements contained in the Final Memorandum under the caption “Risk Factors — Fraudulent conveyance laws could void the obligations of the guarantors”;
“Description of Notes — Guarantees”; and “Description of Notes — Enforceability of Judgments”, insofar as such statements purport to summarize the laws of Portugal are fair descriptions of those laws.

  

	6.5	Enforceability: 

  

	(a)	The choice of the laws of the State of New York (“New York Law”) as the governing law of each Relevant Agreement will be upheld as a valid choice of law by a court of
competent jurisdiction of Portugal (a “Portugal Court”) provided that such choice of law is bona fide (in the sense that it was not made with a view to avoiding the consequences of the law of any other jurisdiction) and is not contrary to
public policy as this term is understood under the laws of Portugal (“Portugal Law”). However, we have no reason to believe that the choice of New York Law in this context is contrary to public policy under Portugal Law. In an action to
enforce a final and conclusive judgment for a sum certain obtained in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York (a “New York Court”) that is not impeachable as void or voidable under New York Law, a
court of competent jurisdiction in Portugal would give effect to the appointment by FIBOPE of Intertape US as its agent to receive service of process in the United States under any Relevant Agreement providing for such appointment and to the
provisions in the Relevant Agreement whereby FIBOPE submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of a New York Court. 

  

 Page 43 

	(b)	Subject to the civil procedures rules applicable to the recognition of foreign judgements, in the event that a Relevant Agreement is sought to be enforced in Portugal, in accordance
with New York Law, a Portugal Court would recognize the choice of law and apply New York Law, upon proof of those laws, except to the extent that the provisions of the Relevant Agreement or New York Law are contrary to public policy as that term is
understood under Portugal Law. 

  

	(c)	Subject to the civil procedures rules applicable to the recognition of foreign judgements, a final and conclusive civil judgment for a sum certain obtained in any New York Court
against a Portugal Issuer in connection with any action arising out of or relating to a Relevant Agreement which judgment is not impeachable as void or voidable under New York Law would be recognized and could be sued upon in a Portugal Court and
such court would grant a judgment which would be enforceable against the Portugal Issuer in Portugal. 

  

	7.	QUALIFICATIONS 

  

	(a)	Where any party to the Guarantee is vested with a discretion or may determine a matter in its opinion, Portuguese law may require that such discretion is exercised reasonably or
that such opinion is based on reasonable grounds and a provision that a certain determination is conclusive and binding will not prevent judicial enquiry into the merits of any claim by an aggrieved party; 

  

	(b)	Notwithstanding any submission to a non-Portuguese jurisdiction the Portuguese courts will or may consider themselves competent in certain circumstances. In particular:

  

	 	(i)	if the claim has a direct connection with European Union members states (with the exception of Denmark), pursuant to EC Council Regulation 44/2001, of 22 December 2000 (the
“Regulation”), the Regulation will prevail and be applicable in accordance with their terms; 

  

	 	(ii)	where the Regulation does not apply to any European Union members state and/or if the claim has a direct connection with countries that are signatories of the Brussels Convention of
27 September 1968 or the Lugano Convention of 16 September 1988 (the “Conventions”), the Conventions will prevail and be applicable in accordance with their terms; 

  

	 	(iii)	if the claim relates to (a) real estate in Portugal, (b) bankruptcy or pre-bankruptcy proceedings of entities domiciled in Portugal, (c) the validity of the constitution of an
entity with its headquarters in Portugal, (d) the winding up of an entity with its headquarters in Portugal, (e) the validity of any acts of corporate bodies of an entity with its headquarters in Portugal, or (f) the validity of any registration of
rights subject to mandatory registration, then the Portuguese courts will consider themselves exclusively competent; 

  

	 	(iv)	in the event that the Regulation or the Conventions are not applicable and the Portuguese courts are not exclusively competent the Portuguese courts may consider themselves
competent in the event that: 

  

	 	(a)	the defaulting party is resident in Portugal except if the claim relates to real estate located outside Portugal; 

  

 Page 44 

	 	(b)	the Portuguese legal rules relating to territorial competence consider that such claim should be submitted to the Portuguese courts; 

  

	 	(c)	the cause of action or some of the relevant facts occurred in Portugal; or 

  

	 	(d)	the only possibility of putting into effect the rights of the aggrieved party is to present the action before the Portuguese courts or it is not fair to oblige the claimant to
present the action before a foreign court, provided that there exists a relevant connection (personal or in rem) between the Portuguese legal system and the cause of action. 

  

	(c)	A Portuguese court may reject the right to take proceedings in Portugal if proceedings which have led or may lead to a judgment which is enforceable in Portugal have already been
taken in another court of competent jurisdiction within or outside Portugal. 

  

	(d)	When stamp tax is paid after the moment of execution of the guarantee transaction, interest and penalties may be due; and 

  

	(e)	This opinion is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and is not to be read as extending by implication to any other matters.

6.     STOCK  OPTION  TERMS  AND  CONDITIONS

     6.1     Consistent with the Plan's purpose, Stock Options may be granted to
employees  and  non-employee  directors  of the Company or other persons who are
performing or who have been engaged to perform services of special importance to
the management, operation or development of the Company, and such services shall
not be connected with the offering or sale of the Company's stock, nor connected
with  any  reverse merger or shell transaction, nor connected with any effort to
maintain  a  market  in  the  Company's  stock.

     6.2     All  Stock  Options  granted  under  the Plan shall be evidenced by
agreements which shall be subject to applicable provisions of the Plan, and such
other  provisions as the Committee may adopt, including the provisions set forth
in  paragraphs  2  through  11  of  this  Section  6.

     6.3     All  Stock  Options  granted  hereunder  must be granted within ten
years  from  the  earlier of the date of this Plan is adopted or approved by the
Company's  shareholders.

     6.4     No Stock Option granted to any employee or 10% Shareholder shall be
exercisable  after  the  expiration  of  ten  years  from  the date such NQSO is
granted.  The  Committee, in its discretion, may provide that an Option shall be
exercisable  during  such  ten  year period or during any lesser period of time.

     The  Committee  may establish installment exercise terms for a Stock Option
such that the NQSO becomes fully exercisable in a series of cumulating portions.
If  an  Optionee  shall  not,  in any given installment period, purchase all the
Common  Shares  which  such  Optionee  is  entitled  to  purchase  within  such
installment  period,  such  Optionee's  right  to purchase any Common Shares not
purchased  in  such  installment  period  shall continue until the expiration or
sooner  termination of such NQSO. The Committee may also accelerate the exercise
of  any NQSO. However, no NQSO, or any portion thereof, may be exercisable until
thirty  (30)  days  following  date  of  grant  ("30-Day  Holding  Period.").

     6.5     A  Stock Option, or portion thereof, shall be exercised by delivery
of  (i)  a  written  notice  of exercise of the Company specifying the number of
common  shares  to  be  purchased,  and  (ii)  payment of the full price of such
Common  Shares,  as  fully  set  forth  in  paragraph  6  of  this  Section  6.

     No  NQSO or installment thereof shall be exercisable except with respect to
whole shares, and fractional share interests shall be disregarded. Not less than
100  Common  Shares  may be purchased at one time unless the number purchased is
the  total  number  at the time available for purchase under the NQSO. Until the
Common  Shares  represented  by  an exercised NQSO are issued to an Optionee, he
shall  have  none  of  the  rights  of  a  shareholder.

     6.6     The  exercise  price  of a Stock Option, or portion thereof, may be
paid:

          A.     In  United  States  dollars,  in  cash  or  by cashier's check,
certified  check, bank draft or money order, payable to the order of the Company
in  an  amount  equal  to  the  option  price;  or

          B.     At  the  discretion  of  the Committee, through the delivery of
fully  paid and nonassessable Common Shares, with an aggregate Fair Market Value
on  the  date  the  NQSO  is  exercised equal to the option price, provided such
tendered  Shares  have been owned by the Optionee for at least one year prior to
such  exercise;  or

          C.     By  a  combination  of  both  A  and  B  above.

     The  Committee  shall  determine  acceptable  methods  for tendering Common
Shares  as  payment  upon  exercise  of  a  Stock  Option  and  may  impose such
limitations  and prohibitions on the use of Common Shares to exercise an NQSO as
it  deems  appropriate.

     6.7     With  the  Optionee's  consent,  the Committee may cancel any Stock
Option  issued  under  this  Plan  and  issue  a  new  NQSO  to  such  Optionee.

     6.8     Except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, no right or
interest  in  any  Stock  Option  granted  under the Plan shall be assignable or
transferable,  and  no right or interest of any Optionee shall be liable for, or
subject  to,  any  lien, obligation or liability of the Optionee.  Stock Options
shall  be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee or the
duly  appointed  legal  representative  of  an  incompetent  Optionee.

     6.9     If  the  Optionee  shall  die  while associated with the Company or
within  three  months  after  termination  of  such  association,  the  personal
representative  or  administrator  of  the Optionee's estate or the person(s) to
whom  an  NQSO  granted  hereunder  shall  have been validly transferred by such
personal  representative or administrator pursuant to the Optionee's will or the
laws  of descent and distribution, shall have the right to exercise the NQSO for
one  year  after  the date of the Optionee's death, to the extent (i)  such NQSO
was exercisable on the date of such termination of employment by death, and (ii)
such  NQSO was not exercised, and (iii)  the exercise period may not be extended
beyond  the  expiration  of  the  term  of  the  Option.

     No  transfer of a Stock Option by the will of an Optionee or by the laws of
descent  and  distribution  shall  be  effective  to bind the Company unless the
Company  shall  have  been  furnished  with  written  notice  thereof  and  an
authenticated  copy  of the will and/or such other evidence as the Committee may
deem  necessary  to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by
the  transferee  or transferee of the terms and conditions by such Stock Option.

     In  the  event of death following termination of the Optionee's association
with  the  Company  while  any  portion  of  an  NQSO  remains  exercisable, the
Committee,  in  its  discretion,  may  provide  for an extension of the exercise
period  of  up  to  one  year  after  the  Optionee's  death  but not beyond the
expiration  of  the  term  of  the  Stock  Option.

     6.10    Any  Optionee  who  disposes  of  Common  Shares  acquired  on  the
exercise  of  a  NQSO  by sale or exchange either (i) within two years after the
date of the grant of the NQSO under which the stock was acquired, or (ii) within
one  year after the acquisition of such Shares, shall notify the Company of such
disposition  and  of the amount realized upon such disposition.  The transfer of
Common  Shares may also be Common by applicable provisions of the Securities Act
of  1933,  as  amended.

7.     ADJUSTMENTS  OR  CHANGES  IN  CAPITALIZATION

     7.1     In  the event that the outstanding Common Shares of the Company are
hereafter  changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
other  securities  of  the  Company  by  reason  of merger, consolidation, other
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination of shares, stock
split-up  or  stock  dividend:

          A.     Prompt,  proportionate,  equitable,  lawful  and  adequate
adjustment  shall  be made of the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to
Stock  Options which may be granted under the Plan, such that the Optionee shall
have  the  right to purchase such Common Shares as may be issued in exchange for
the  Common  Shares  purchasable  on  exercise  of  the  NQSO  had  such merger,
consolidation,  other  reorganization,  recapitalization,  reclassification,
combination  of  shares,  stock  split-up  or  stock  dividend  not taken place;

          B.     Rights  under  unexercised  Stock  Options  or portions thereof
granted  prior  to  any such change, both as to the number or kind of shares and
the  exercise  price  per  share, shall be adjusted appropriately, provided that
such  adjustments  shall  be  made  without  change  in the total exercise price
applicable to the unexercised portion of such NQSO's but by an adjustment in the
price  for  each  share  covered  by  such  NQSO's;  or

          C.     Upon  any  dissolution  or  liquidation  of  the Company or any
merger  or combination in which the Company is not a surviving corporation, each
outstanding  Stock  Option  granted  hereunder shall terminate, but the Optionee
shall have the right, immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger
or  combination, to exercise his NQSO in whole or in part, to the extent that it
shall  not  have  been  exercised,  without  regard  to any installment exercise
provisions  in  such  NQSO.

     7.2     The  foregoing  adjustments  and  the  manner of application of the
foregoing  provisions  shall  be  determined  solely  by  the  Committee,  whose
determination as to what adjustments shall be made and the extent thereof, shall
be  final,  binding  and conclusive.  No fractional Shares shall be issued under
the  Plan  on  account  of  any  such  adjustments.

8.     MERGER,  CONSOLIDATION  OR  TENDER  OFFER

     8.1     If  the  Company  shall  be  a  party to a binding agreement to any
merger,  consolidation or reorganization or sale of substantially all the assets
of  the  Company,  each  outstanding Stock Option shall pertain and apply to the
securities and/or property which a shareholder of the number of Common Shares of
the  Company  subject  to the NQSO would be entitled to receive pursuant to such
merger,  consolidation  or  reorganization  or  sale  of  assets.

     8.2     In  the  event  that:

          A.     Any  person  other than the Company shall acquire more than 20%
of  the  Common  Shares of the Company through a tender offer, exchange offer or
otherwise;

          B.     A  change  in the "control" of the Company occurs, as such term
is  defined  in  Rule  405  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933;

          C.     There shall be a sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of  the  Company;

any  then  outstanding  Stock  Option  held by an Optionee, who is deemed by the
Committee  to  be  a statutory officer ("Insider") for purposes of Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall be entitled to receive, subject to any
action  by  the Committee revoking such an entitlement as provided for below, in
lieu  of  exercise  of  such  Stock  Option,  to  the  extent  that  it  is then
exercisable,  a  cash  payment  in an amount equal to the difference between the
aggregate  exercise  price  of  such  NQSO, or portion thereof, and, (i)  in the
event  of  an  offer  or similar event, the final offer price per share paid for
Common  Shares, or such lower price as the Committee may determine to conform an
option  to  preserve  its Stock Option status, times the number of Common Shares
covered by the NQSO or portion thereof, or (ii)  in the case of an event covered
by B or C above, the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Shares covered by
the  Stock  Option,  as  determined  by  the  Committee  at  such  time.

     8.3     Any  payment  which  the  Company  is  required to make pursuant to
paragraph 8.2 of this Section 8 shall be made within 15 business days, following
the  event  which results in the Optionee's right to such payment.  In the event
of  a tender offer in which fewer than all the shares which are validly tendered
in compliance with such offer are purchased or exchanged, then only that portion
of  the  shares  covered by an NQSO as results from multiplying such shares by a
fraction,  the  numerator  of  which  is  the  number  of Common Shares acquired
pursuant  to  the  offer  and  the  denominator of which is the number of Common
Shares  tendered  in  compliance  with such offer shall be used to determine the
payment  thereupon.  To  the  extent  that  all or any portion of a Stock Option
shall  be  affected  by this provision, all or such portion of the NQSO shall be
terminated.

     8.4     Notwithstanding  paragraphs  8.1  and  8.3  of  this Section 8, the
Committee  may,  by  unanimous  vote  and  resolution,  unilaterally  revoke the
benefits  of the above provisions; provided, however, that such vote is taken no
later than ten business days following public announcement of the intent to file
an  initial public offering, or the change of control, whichever occurs earlier.

9.     AMENDMENT  AND  TERMINATION  OF  PLAN

     9.1     The  Board  may  at  any  time,  and  from time to time, suspend or
terminate  the  Plan  in  whole or in part or amend it from time to time in such
respects  as  the  Board  may  deem  appropriate and in the best interest of the
Company.

     9.2     No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without
the  Optionee's  consent, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under
any  Stock  Option  theretofore  granted  to  him  under  the  Plan.

     9.3     The  Board  may  amend  the  Plan, subject to the limitations cited
above,  in  such  manner  as  it deems necessary to permit the granting of Stock
Options  meeting the requirements of future amendments or issued regulations, if
any, to the Code.

     9.4     No  NQSO  may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after
termination  of  the  Plan.

10.    GOVERNMENT  AND  OTHER  REGULATIONS

     10.1    The  obligation  of  the  Company  to  issue,  transfer and deliver
Common Shares for Stock Options exercised under the Plan shall be subject to all
applicable  laws, regulations, rules, orders and approval which shall then be in
effect  and  required by the relevant stock exchanges on which the Common Shares
are  traded and by government entities as set forth below or as the Committee in
its  sole  discretion  shall  deem  necessary  or  advisable.  Specifically,  in
connection  with  the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended, upon exercise of any
Stock  Option,  the  Company shall not be required to issue Common Shares unless
the  Committee  has  received evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the
Optionee  will  not  transfer  such  shares  except  pursuant  to a registration
statement  in effect under such Act or unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory
to  the  Company  has  been  received  by  the  Company  to the effect that such
registration  is  not  required.  Any  determination  in  this connection by the
Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.  The Company may, but shall in
no  event  be  obligated to, take any other affirmative action in order to cause
the exercise of a Stock Option or the issuance of Common Shares pursuant thereto
to  comply  with  any  law  or  regulation  of  any  government  authority.

11.    MISCELLANEOUS  PROVISIONS

     11.1    No  person  shall  have  any  claim or right  to be granted a Stock
Option  or Common Stock under the Plan, and the grant of an NQSO or Common Stock
under  the  Plan  shall  not  be  construed  as  giving  an  Optionee  or Common
Stockholder  the  right to be retained by the Company.  Furthermore, the Company
expressly  reserves  the right at any time to terminate its relationship with an
Optionee  with or without cause, free from any liability, or any claim under the
Plan,  except  as  provided  herein, in an option agreement, or in any agreement
between  the  Company  and  the  Optionee.

     11.2    Any  expenses  of  administering  this  Plan  shall be borne by the
Company.

     11.3    The  payment  received  from  Optionee  from  the exercise of Stock
Options  under  the Plan shall be used for the general corporate purposes of the
Company.

     11.4    The  place  of administration of the  Plan shall be in the State of
New  Mexico; however, the validity, construction, interpretation, administration
and  effect of the Plan and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to
the Plan, shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws of the State of
Florida  rather  than  the  place  of  administration.  This  is a conscious and
voluntary  choice  of  law  by  the  parties.

     11.5    Without  amending  the Plan,  grants may be made to persons who are
foreign  nationals or employed outside the United States, or both, on such terms
and  conditions,  consistent  with  the  Plan's  purpose,  different  from those
specified  in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or
desirable  to  create  equitable  opportunities given differences in tax laws in
other  countries.

     11.6    In  addition  to  such  other rights of indemnification as they may
have  as  members  of  the  Board or the Committee, the members of the Committee
shall  be  indemnified  by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they
or  any  of  them  may  be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act
under  or  in  connection with the Plan or any Stock Option granted there under,
and  against  all  amounts  paid  by  them  in settlement thereof (provided such
settlement  is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or
paid  by  them  in  satisfaction  of  a  judgment  in  any  such action, suit or
proceeding,  except  a judgment based upon a finding of bad faith; provided that
upon  the  institution of any such action, suit or proceeding a Committee member
shall,  in  writing,  give the Company notice thereof and an opportunity, at its
own  expense,  to  handle  and  defend  the same, with counsel acceptable to the
Optionee, before such Committee member undertakes to handle and defend it on his
own  behalf.

     11.7    Stock Options may be granted under this Plan from time to time,  in
substitution  for  stock options held by employees of other corporations who are
about  to  become  employees  of  the  Company  as  the  result  of  a merger or
consolidation  of  the employing corporation with the Company or the acquisition
by  the Company of the assets of the employing corporation or the acquisition by
the  Company  of  stock  of  the  employing  corporation as a result of which it
becomes  a  subsidiary  of  the  Company.  The  terms  and  conditions  of  such
substitute  stock  options so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set
forth  in  this  Plan to such extent as the Board of Directors of the Company at
the  time  of grant may deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the
provisions  of the stock options in substitution for which they are granted, but
no  such variations shall be such as to affect the status of any such substitute
stock  options  as  a  stock  option  under  Section  422A  of  the  Code.

     11.8    Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  in  the Plan,  if the
Committee  finds  by  a  majority  vote,  after  full consideration of the facts
presented  on behalf of both the Company and the Optionee, that the Optionee has
been  engaged  in  fraud,  embezzlement, theft, insider trading in the Company's
stock,  commission  of  a  felony  or  proven  dishonesty  in  the course of his
association  with  the  Company  or any subsidiary corporation which damaged the
Company  or  any  subsidiary corporation, or for disclosing trade secrets of the
Company  or  any  subsidiary  corporation,  the  Optionee  shall  forfeit  all
unexercised  Stock  Options and all exercised NQSO's under which the Company has
not  yet  delivered  the certificates and which have been earlier granted to the
Optionee  by the Committee.  The decision of the Committee as to the cause of an
Optionee's  discharge  and  the  damage  done to the Company shall be final.  No
decision  of  the Committee, however, shall affect the finality of the discharge
of  such  Optionee  by  the Company or any subsidiary corporation in any manner.

12.    WRITTEN  AGREEMENT

     12.1    Each Stock Option granted hereunder  shall be embodied in a written
Stock  Option  Agreement  which  shall  be  subject  to the terms and conditions
prescribed above and shall be signed by the Optionee and by the President or any
Vice President of the Company, for and in the name and on behalf of the Company.
Such  Stock  Option  Agreement  shall  contain  such  other  provisions  as  the
Committee,  in  its  discretion  shall  deem  advisable.

partial  payment for shares to be purchased hereunder, such common stock will be
valued  at  their  Fair  Market  Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date such
shares  received  by  the  Company are applied to payment of the exercise price.

     3.   TRANSFERABILITY

          The  Option  evidenced hereby is not assignable or transferable by the
Optionee  other  than  by  the  Optionee's  will  or  by the laws of descent and
distribution,  as  provided  in  paragraph 6.9 of the Plan.  The Option shall be
exercisable  only  by  the  Optionee  during  his  lifetime.
