2.8 Application of Prepayments

	 	(a)	 	All prepayments received by a Lender under a Loan pursuant to
Section 2.7 shall be applied by such Lender to the amounts due under
such Loan pursuant to Section 2.3 in the inverse order of their
maturity.
	 
	 	(b)	 	All payments received by a Lender from or on behalf of the
Borrower under this Agreement in circumstances where such payment is
not being made pursuant to a provision of this Agreement providing
for the purpose for which such payment is to be made shall be
applied by such Lender as follows (i) first, in the pro rata
reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to pay any unpaid interest
and any fees which are due and owing to the Lenders under this
Agreement, (ii) second, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to
pay any claims or losses referred to in Section 9.6, (iii) third, in
the pro rata reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to pay any
amounts due and owing to the Lenders on account of the principal
amount of the respective Loans, (iv) fourth, in the pro rata
reduction of any other obligation of the Borrower to the Lenders
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (v) fifth, to
the Borrower or such other Persons as may lawfully be entitled to or
directed to receive the remainder.

2.9 Currency Indemnity

     Amounts owing under the U.S. Dollar Loan shall be repaid by the Borrower
to the U.S. Lender in U.S. Dollars and amounts owing under the Euro Loan shall
be repaid by the Borrower to the Euro Lender in Euros. Any payment on account
of an amount payable under any Loan Document in a particular currency (the
“proper currency”) made to or for the account of a Lender in a currency (the
“other currency”) other than the proper currency, whether pursuant to a
judgement or order of any court or tribunal or otherwise and whether arising
from the conversion of any amount denominated in one currency into any other
currency for the purpose of making or filing a claim, obtaining an order or
judgement, enforcing an order or judgement or otherwise, shall constitute a
discharge of the Borrower’s obligation to such Lender under such Loan Document
only to the extent of the amount of the proper currency which such Lender is
able, in the normal course of its business within one Business Day after
receipt by it of such payment, to purchase with the amount of the other
currency so received. If the amount of the proper currency which such Lender
is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the proper currency
originally due to it under such Loan Document, the Borrower shall indemnify and
save such Lender harmless from and against any loss or damage arising as a
result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation
separate and independent from any other obligation contained in any Loan
Document, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall
apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by either Lender from time to
time, shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgement or
order for a liquidated sum in

- 16 -

respect of an amount due under any Loan Document or under any judgement or
order and shall not merge in any order of foreclosure made in respect of any
Security or other security given to or for the benefit of the Lender. If the
amount of the proper currency which a Lender so purchases after receipt by it
of such amount is greater than the amount of the proper currency originally due
to it under the Loan Documents such excess amount shall be repaid to the
Borrower.

2.10 Taxes

     If the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from any
payments of interest by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower
hereunder, then (i) the Borrower shall make such deduction, and (ii) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Entity
in accordance with applicable law. The Borrower shall deliver to the
applicable Lender a copy of the Form NR4 or other information return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment of such Indemnified Taxes.

     Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is
located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to
payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or
times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate.

     Each Lender shall take all steps reasonably necessary to claim from all
applicable Governmental Entities having taxing jurisdiction over such Lender or
its business a credit against or remission for or deduction from or other
available relief with respect to any Indemnified Taxes deducted by the Borrower
and paid by the Borrower to an applicable Governmental Entity as provided for
above (any of the foregoing being a “saving”). To the extent that the amount
of any saving from which a lender benefits is less than the amount of the
applicable Indemnified Taxes so deducted by the Borrower and paid to the
applicable Governmental Entity (any such amount being the “saving deficiency”),
the Borrower will, promptly following receipt of a written certificate from the
applicable Lender detailing such saving deficiency pay to the applicable Lender
the amount of the applicable saving deficiency. A Lender shall not be
considered to have benefited from any saving which has ceased to be available
due to the expiry of the carry forward period for such saving, if applicable,
and shall be considered to have realized any resulting deficiency resulting
therefrom at the time of such expiry.

     In this section the following terms have the following meanings, namely:

     "Indemnified Taxes” means all Taxes other than Excluded Taxes.

     "Excluded Taxes” means, in relation to either Lender, those taxes on
income, net income or capital or franchise taxes which are imposed or levied by
any jurisdiction or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction solely as a
result of such Lender (a) being organized under the laws of such jurisdiction
or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction, (b) having its principal
office or lending office in such jurisdiction, (c) being resident in such
jurisdiction, (d) carrying

on business in such jurisdiction, or (e) not dealing at arm’s length (as
defined for the purposes of any taxing statute in the applicable jurisdiction)
with the Borrower, or which would not have been imposed had such Lender
satisfied a relevant authority that such Lender was not a Person mentioned in
clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above.

     “Taxes” means taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings of any kind or nature whatsoever or any instalments, interest or
penalties payable with respect thereto now or in the future imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by Canada or any political subdivision of
Canada.

ARTICLE 3

RAND CONVERSION RIGHT

3.1 Rand Conversion Right

     Subject to Section 3.2, the Borrower shall have the right (the “Conversion
Right”), at the Borrower’s sole option, at any time and from time to time prior
to the repayment in full of the Maturity Amounts, to convert all or any part of
the then outstanding principal amount of either or both Loans, together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (which, if less than the entire unpaid
principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest under such Loan, is U.S.
$100,000 (in the case of the U.S. Dollar Loan) or
€100,000 (in the case of the
Euro Loan), or an amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of
U.S. $100 or €100, as the case may be, into that number of fully paid and
non-assessable Common Shares equal to the amount of the outstanding principal
amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon) in respect of which the
Conversion Right is exercised (in U.S. Dollars for a conversion under the U.S.
Dollar Loan and the Equivalent Amount thereof in U.S. Dollars for a conversion
under the Euro Loan), divided by the Conversion Price in effect on the
applicable Conversion Date. The Lenders and the Borrower agree that such a
conversion shall constitute a subscription by the applicable Lender for the
Common Shares at the Conversion Price and a set-off of the subscription price
owing against the principal amount (together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon) that is the subject of the conversion, and that such set-off shall
constitute payment in full of both such subscription price and such principal
amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

     For the purposes of this Agreement, “Conversion Price” means the lesser of
(i) U.S.$6.00 per Common Share and (ii) the market price per Common Share on
the Conversion Date, for the applicable conversion. For the purposes hereof,
“market price” shall mean the weighted average trading price of the Common
Shares on the TSX for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending immediately
prior to the applicable Conversion Date.

3.2 Limitation on Conversion Right

     Under no circumstances may the Borrower exercise the Conversion Right in a
manner which would result, following the exercise of the Conversion Right, in
the Lenders holding in excess of 19.9% of the total number of the then issued
and outstanding voting and participating

- 18 -

shares of the Borrower (the “Borrower Shares”). Where the exercise of a
Conversion Right would cause the Lenders to hold in excess of 19.9% of the
Borrower Shares, the Conversion Right shall be exercised only in respect of
that portion of the Maturity Amount which would result in the Lenders holding
19.9% of the Borrower Shares or, pursuant to Section 3.1, the next lowest whole
number of such shares; the balance of the Maturity Amount, that, but for this
Section 3.2, would be converted into Borrower Shares, (i) may not be subject to
any Conversion Right and (ii) shall remain outstanding hereunder subject to
being repaid by the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof.

3.3 Conversion Right Exercise Procedure

     In order to exercise the Conversion Right, the Borrower shall, prior to
the repayment in full of the Maturity Amounts, deliver to the Lenders a written
notice substantially in the form set out in Schedule 3.3 hereto (a “Conversion
Notice”), duly signed by the Borrower or its legal representatives or its
attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing specifying the principal
amount, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon , of the Loan or Loans to be
converted (the “Conversion Amount”) and the date (the “Conversion Date”) upon
which the conversion is to become effective. Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.2, upon delivery of such written notice to the Lenders by the
Borrower:

	 	(a)	 	the Lenders or the applicable Lender, as the case may be,
shall be deemed for all purposes to have subscribed for the number
of Common Shares which such Lender or Lenders shall be entitled to
receive pursuant to the exercise of such Conversion Right by the
Borrower;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Lenders or the applicable Lender, as the case may be,
shall have, and shall be deemed for all purposes to have, agreed
with the Borrower to set-off effective as of the Conversion Date all
liability of the Borrower with respect to the Conversion Amount
against payment of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date for
the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	such set-off of the Conversion Amount shall constitute full
payment of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date for the
Common Shares issuable upon such conversion.

     As promptly as practicable after a Conversion Date, and in no event more
than fourteen (14) days following the Conversion Date, the Borrower shall issue
or cause to be issued and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lenders or
the applicable Lender, as the case may be, a certificate or certificates in the
name such Lenders or Lender for the number of Common Shares deliverable upon
the applicable conversion and provision shall be made in respect of any
fraction of a share as provided for below. Such conversion shall be deemed to
have been effected immediately at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the Conversion
Date and, at that time, all rights of the Lenders or the applicable Lender, as
the case may be, under the Loan Documents in respect of the Conversion Amount
shall cease and the Lenders or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, shall
be deemed to have become on such date the holder of record of the Common Shares
issuable to it upon such conversion; provided, however, that, if the Conversion
Date is a date on

- 19 -

which the transfer registers for Common Shares is closed, the Lenders or
the applicable Lender, as the case may be, shall become the holder of record
thereof for all purposes at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the next succeeding
date on which such transfer registers are open. No payment or adjustment shall
be made upon any conversion on account of any dividends on the Common Shares
issuable upon conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the
Borrower shall in no case be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon
any conversion of all or any portion of any Loan. If any fractional interest
in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of the preceding sentence,
be deliverable upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall satisfy such
fractional interest by payment to the applicable Lender of a cash amount equal
(to the nearest cent or Equivalent Amount to such cent) to the product of such
fractional interest and the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable
Conversion Date. The Borrower warrants and covenants that all Common Shares
issued upon exercise of a Conversion Right shall be duly and validly issued as
fully paid and non-assessable.

3.4 Adjustments

     If following the Closing Date, but prior to any applicable Conversion Date
the Borrower (i) pays a dividend in Common Shares or makes a distribution of
Common Shares, in either case to holders of Common Shares, (ii) subdivides its
outstanding Common Shares, (iii) combines its outstanding Common Shares into a
smaller number of Common Shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification or
reorganization other securities of the Borrower to all holders of Common
Shares, the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such Conversion
Right and the purchase price per share shall be adjusted as determined by the
board of directors of the Borrower in its sole discretion so that the number of
Common Shares or other securities of the Borrower to be issued to the
applicable Lender on the exercise of such Conversion Right shall be the same
kind and number of Common Shares or other securities of the Borrower which such
Lender would be entitled to if the applicable conversion had taken place
immediately prior to the event or record date with respect to the actions in
clauses (i) to (iv) above.

3.5 Receipt

     Upon completion of the exercise of each Conversion Right, the applicable
Lender shall issue a receipt addressed to the Borrower acknowledging receipt of
the applicable Common Shares received by the Borrower.

3.6 Right of First Offer

     So long as (i) any amounts are owing to a Lender under the Loan Documents,
or (ii) the Lender or any of its Subsidiaries owns five percent (5%) or more of
the Borrower Shares, the Borrower shall provide the Euro Lender with prior
written notice (a “Notice of Sale”) of any proposal by the Borrower to sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of (otherwise than pursuant to a Permitted Merger
or pursuant to a sale, transfer or other disposition to a Subsidiary of the
Borrower) any assets or portion of the business of the Borrower (detailing the
assets concerned) representing, in either case, in excess of 10% of the
consolidated revenues of the Borrower, determined in accordance with the most
recent audited financial statements of the Borrower (the “Right of First
Offer”). The Borrower shall not dispose of the assets or business described in

- 20 -

the Notice of Sale, in whole or in part, until the earliest of (i) its
receipt of a written offer from the Euro Lender or any of its Subsidiaries to
purchase such assets or business from the Borrower (in which case the Borrower
may dispose of such assets or business to the Euro Lender pursuant to such
offer to purchase or to any other Person for aggregate consideration which in
the good faith opinion reasonably held of the Borrower is greater than the
consideration to be paid by the Euro Lender pursuant to its offer to purchase);
(ii) its receipt of a written notice from the Euro Lender that the Euro Lender
does not wish to make an offer to purchase the assets, or (iii) 45 days
following delivery of the Notice of Sale to the Euro Lender.

ARTICLE 4

INTEREST

4.1 Interest

     From and after the Closing Date, the unpaid balance of each Loan, from
time to time, shall bear interest in respect of each day, both before and after
an Event of Default or judgment, at a rate of five and one half percent (5.5%)
per annum compounded quarterly (for the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada)
the effective annual rate of interest is 5.89% per annum) (the “Fixed Rate”).
Such interest shall be calculated (and compounded) quarterly in arrears, in
U.S. Dollars in the case of the U.S. Dollar Loan and in Euros in the case of
the Euro Loan, and payable on the first Business Day of each Financial Quarter
commencing on the first Business Day of January 2004 until all amounts owing to
the Lenders hereunder have been paid in full. For greater certainty and
without limitation, interest shall begin accruing on the Loans as of the
Closing Date; the first payment of interest on the Loans shall be made on the
first Business Day of January 2004 (which is the first Business Day of the
first Financial Quarter of 2004) which payment shall represent the interest
accrued between the Closing Date and the first Business Day of January 2004.
The second payment of interest under the Loans shall be made on the first
Business Day of the second Financial Quarter of 2004 which payment shall
represent the interest accrued on the Loans between the first Business Day of
January 2004 and the first Business Day of the second Financial Quarter of
2004 and so on for subsequent Financial Quarters.

     For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or
other amount under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of
360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such
calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the
applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be,
(y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the
period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z)
divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be, (ii) the principle of deemed
reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this
Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are
intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

greater certainty Intellectual Property which is owned by third
parties and only sold or distributed by the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries in the course of their business), do not conflict with

other Person, and none of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries have
received any claim or written notice from any Person, to such effect
and (b) to the best knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
with the published patents or registered trademarks of any Person;

each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable
title in fee simple to the real properties which they own and good
and merchantable title to all the tangible and intangible personal
property reflected as assets being owned by it in their books and
records. The Borrower and each Subsidiary thereof owns, leases or

of its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or instrument or
subject to any restriction (including any restriction set forth in
its constating documents, by-laws or any shareholders’ agreement
applicable to it) which has or, based on the facts and circumstances
in effect on the date of this Agreement could reasonably be expected

otherwise at the direction or with the consent of the Lenders, the
Lenders shall, at the request of the Borrower, will, and will cause
the Security Agent to, provide such assurances, confirmations,
postponements and subordinations respecting such assets and

	 	(b)	 	any representation or warranty or certification made or
deemed to be made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries thereof
in any Loan Document shall prove to have been incorrect in any
material respect when made or deemed to be made; and, if the

or warranty are capable of modification or rectification (such that,

such material incorrectness by the Representative Lender to the
Borrower;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the Borrower fails to perform or observe or comply with any

	 	 	 	and such failure remains unremedied for [***] days following notice
of such failure by the Representative Lender to the Borrower;
	 
	 	(f)	 	except as specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of the
Memorandum of Understanding between the Parties executed on April
16, 2002, prior to the payment in full of all amounts owing by the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries under the Loan Documents, the Borrower
shall, on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Person, whether
directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, alone, through
or in connection with any Person, carry or be engaged in or have any
financial or other interest in or be otherwise commercially involved

specifically permitted pursuant to the IBM Agreements;
	 
	 	(g)	 	the Borrower fails to perform, observe or comply with any
other term, covenant or agreement contained in any Loan Document and

	 	(h)	 	an event of default (as defined in the Other Lender Credit

aggregate principal amount in excess of [***] (or the Equivalent
Amount in any other currencies) shall happen and be continuing and
(i) shall consist of a failure to make any payment when due and
payable of any amount or amounts (whether principal, interest or
both) exceeding in the aggregate under all such indentures and
instruments [***] (or the Equivalent Amount in any other currency or
currencies), or (ii) shall have resulted in the acceleration of such
Funded Debt so that Funded Debt in an aggregate amount (whether
principal, interest or both) under all such indentures and
instruments in excess of [***] (or the Equivalent Amount in any
other currencies) shall be or become due and payable prior to the
date on which the same would otherwise have become due and payable;
provided, however, that if such event or events of default under
such indentures or instruments is remedied or cured by the Borrower
or its Subsidiaries, or waived by the holders of such Funded Debt,
then the Event of Default occurring by reason thereof shall be
deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured or waived
without further action;
	 
	 	(j)	 	any judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of
[***] (or the Equivalent Amount in any other currencies) (subject to
no further right of appeal) is rendered against the Borrower or any

by a creditor upon the judgment or order and such proceedings have
not been effectively stayed;

- 38 -

	 	(k)	 	except for Permitted Mergers the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (i) becomes insolvent or generally not able to pay its
debts as they become due, (ii) admits in writing its inability to
pay its debts generally or makes a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, (iii) institutes or has instituted against it
any proceeding seeking (x) to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent,
(y) liquidation, winding-up, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts
under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
relief of debtors including any plan of compromise or arrangement or
other corporate proceeding involving or affecting its creditors, or
(z) the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a
receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or for any
substantial part of its properties and assets, and in the case of
any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by
it), either the proceeding remains undismissed or unstayed for a
period of [***] days, or any of the actions sought in such
proceeding (including the entry of an order for relief against it or
the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar
official for it or for any substantial part of its properties and
assets) occurs, or (iv) takes any corporate action to authorize any
of the above actions; or
	 
	 	(l)	 	the Borrower fails to obtain consent of the TSX for the
‘Conversion Right’ under the Other Lender Credit Agreement in
respect of the whole of both ‘Loans’ under such agreement, as
contemplated in Section 5.2(c) of the Other Lender Credit Agreement
by the date required thereunder;

	 	 	then the Representative Lender may declare either or both Loans, all
accrued interest and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the
Borrower.

8.2 Remedies Upon Default

	(1)	 	Upon a declaration that a Loan is immediately due and payable pursuant to
this Article 8, the Lender that has made the declaration may commence such
legal action or proceedings as it, in its sole discretion, deems
expedient, including, the commencement of enforcement proceedings under
the Loan Documents all without any additional notice, presentation,
demand, protest, notice of dishonour, entering into of possession of any
property or assets, or any other action or notice, all of which are
expressly waived by the Borrower.
	 
	(2)	 	The rights and remedies of the Lenders under the Loan Documents are
cumulative and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other
rights or remedies. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents with respect
to the indebtedness or liability of the Borrower to the Lenders, nor any
act or omission of the Lenders with respect to the Loan Documents or the
Security shall in any way prejudice or affect the rights, remedies and
powers of the Lenders under the Loan Documents and the Security.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Amendments, etc.

     No amendment or waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents, nor
consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Person from such
provisions, is effective unless in writing and approved by the Representative
Lender. Any amendment, waiver or consent is effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

9.2 Waiver

	 	(a)	 	No failure on the part of a Lender to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, any right under any of the Loan Documents shall
operate as a waiver of such right; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right under any of the Loan Documents preclude any
other or further exercise of such right or the exercise of any other
right.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the
covenants, representations and warranties shall not merge on and
shall survive the initial advance and, notwithstanding such initial
advance or any investigation made by or on behalf of any party,
shall continue in full force and effect. The closing of this
transaction shall not prejudice any right of one party against any
other party in respect of anything done or omitted under this
Agreement or in respect of any right to damages or other remedies.

9.3 Evidence of Funded Debt.

     The indebtedness of the Borrower hereunder shall be evidenced by the

indebtedness.

9.5 Confidentiality

     Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that financial
statements or other information relating to the Borrower which may be delivered
to it pursuant to this Agreement and which are not publicly filed or otherwise
made available to the public generally (and which are not independently known
to such Lender) will be treated confidentially by such Lender and will not,
except with the consent of the Borrower, be distributed or otherwise made
available by such Lender to any Person other than its directors, officers,
employees, authorized agents, counsel or other representatives (provided the
other representatives have agreed or are under a duty to keep all information
confidential) required, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, to have such
information. Each Lender is authorized to deliver a copy of any financial
statements or any other information which may be delivered to it pursuant to
this Agreement to (i) any potential or actual Assignee, as such term is defined
below in Section 9.7(c) provided notice is given to the Borrower and provided
that such Assignee agrees in writing in favour of the Borrower to be bound by
the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, (ii) any Governmental Entity
having jurisdiction over the Lender in order to comply with any applicable law;
and (iii) any Subsidiary of the Euro Lender required, in the reasonable opinion
of the Euro Lender, to have such information provided that such Subsidiary will
be advised by the Euro Lender of and will be bound by, and the Euro Lender will
be responsible for any breach by such Subsidiary of any of, the
confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

9.6 Costs, Expenses and Indemnity

	 	(a)	 	The Borrower shall, whether or not the transaction
contemplated in this Agreement are completed, indemnify and hold the
Lenders and their respective officers, directors, employees and
agents (each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from, and shall pay
to such Indemnified Person on demand, any amounts required to
compensate the Indemnified Person for, any claim or loss suffered
by, imposed on, or asserted against, the Indemnified Person as a
result of, connected with or arising out of (i) a default (whether
or not constituting a Default or an Event of Default) by the
Borrower, (ii) any proceedings brought against the Indemnified
Person due to its entering into of any of the Loan Documents and
performing its obligations under the Loan Documents except to the
extent caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of an
Indemnified Person, and (iii) the presence at, on or under or the
discharge or likely discharge of contaminants from any of the
Subject Properties or any of the properties now or previously used
by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the breach by or
non-compliance with any Environmental Law by any mortgagor, owner,
or lessee of such properties, except to the extent that any of the
same have been caused by an Indemnified Party.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand any amounts
required to compensate the Lender for any loss suffered or incurred
by it as a result of (i) the failure of the Borrower to give any
notice in the manner and at the times required by this Agreement, or
(ii) the failure of the Borrower to make a payment or a mandatory
repayment in the manner and at the time specified in this Agreement.

 

Any text removed pursuant to Dassault Systèmes' confidential treatment request has been separately filed

- 42 -

	 	 	 	A certificate as to the amount of any loss submitted in good faith
by a Lender to the Borrower shall be prima facie evidence of the
amount of such loss, absent manifest error.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Maturity
Amounts. The Borrower acknowledges that neither its obligation to
indemnify nor any actual indemnification by it of the Lender or any
other Indemnified Person in respect of such Person’s losses for
legal fees and expenses shall in any way affect the confidentiality
or privilege relating to any information communicated by such Person
to its counsel.

9.7 Successors and Assigns

	 	(a)	 	This Agreement shall become effective when executed by the
Borrower and the Lender and after that time shall be binding upon
and enure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Except for Permitted Mergers, the Borrower shall not have the
right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
any interest in this Agreement without the prior consent of the
Lender, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Subject to the next sentence, neither the Lender shall have
the right to assign its rights or obligations under any Loan
Document or any interest in any Loan Document without the prior
consent of the Borrower, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld,
unless such assignment is to a Subsidiary of the Euro Lender, in
which case no consent of the Borrower is required. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at any time following the second anniversary of the
Closing Date either Lender may assign all or any part of its
interest in its Loan (but for greater certainty not in any other
right or entitlement under any Loan Document) to (each an
“Assignee”) (i) one or more Persons that is not a competitor of the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or (ii) a Person that is a competitor
of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, if such Person acquires the
Euro Lender or is acquired by the Euro Lender, or any of its
Subsidiaries, pursuant to a Change of Control of such Person or the
Euro Lender, as the case may be, without any requirement for notice
to, or consent of, the Borrower or any other Person. Upon an
assignment, (i) the Borrower shall assign any and all benefit of all
Security to the Assignee and (ii) the Assignee shall have the same
rights and benefits and be subject to the same limitations under the
Loan Documents with respect to such Loan (but for greater certainty
not with respect to any other right or entitlement under any Loan
Documents) as it would have if it was the applicable Lender,
provided that no Assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater
payment, on a cumulative basis, pursuant to Section 9.6 than the
Lender which granted the assignment would have been entitled to
receive.

- 43 -

	 	(d)	 	The Borrower shall provide such certificates,
acknowledgements and further assurances in respect of this Agreement
and the Loans as the Representative Lender may reasonably require in
connection with any assignment, pursuant to this Section 9.7.
	 
	 	(e)	 	In the case of an assignment, the applicable Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Borrower shall execute an assignment
and assumption agreement pursuant to which the Assignee assumes the
obligations of the applicable Lender and agrees to be bound by all
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all as if the Assignee
had been an original party. Upon receipt by the applicable Lender
of the assignment and assumption agreement, the assigning Lender and
the Borrower shall be released from their respective obligations
under this Agreement (to the extent of such assignment and
assumption) and shall have no liability or obligations to each other
to such extent, except in respect of matters arising prior to the
assignment.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.7 will not
constitute a repayment by the Borrower to the assigning or granting
Lender of a Loan nor a new loan to the Borrower by the applicable
Lender or by the Assignee and the parties acknowledge that the
Borrower’s obligations with respect to such Loan will continue and
will not constitute new obligations.

9.8 Right of Set-off.

     Each party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply the amount owed, due and
exigible by the other hereunder to it hereunder against any and all of its
obligations to the other party hereunder or pursuant to any other agreement
entered into between the parties or otherwise, as the case may be, irrespective
of whether or not demand shall have been made. The rights of the parties under
this Section 9.8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including,
without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the parties may have. Each
party acknowledges that it would be inequitable and unconscionable not to allow
the non-defaulting party a right of set-off.

9.9 Postponement and Subordination Arrangements

     All Liens (“Senior Creditor Security”) from time to time securing any
indebtedness or liabilities (“Senior Liabilities”) that become outstanding
following the Closing Date under a Permitted Senior Credit Facility over any
business, property or asset of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than
any Specific Collateral) (any such business, property or asset other than any
Specific Collateral being “Applicable Property”) shall have full and absolute
priority over each and every item of any Lien (such Liens, excluding the
Borrower’s Specific Security Agreements being, collectively, “Loan Agreement
Security”) over any Applicable Property securing any indebtedness or liability
(“Loan Agreement Liabilities”) owing to the Lenders under any Loan Documents
and each and every item of the Loan Agreement Security over the Applicable
Property shall rank subordinate and junior to each item of the Senior Creditor
Security over the Applicable Property in respect of an aggregate maximum
principal amount of

 

Any text removed pursuant to Dassault Systèmes' confidential treatment request has been separately filed

with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and
is marked "[***]" herein.

- 44 -

Senior Liabilities at any time prior to the Specific Security Delivery
Date, of Cdn. $10,000,000 (or the Equivalent Amount in any other currencies),
and at any time on or after the Specific Security Delivery Date of U.S.
$22,000,000 (or the Equivalent Amount in any other currencies), together in
each such case with all interest, fees, costs and expenses from time
constituting Senior Liabilities (collectively the “Maximum Senior Liability
Amount”). All net proceeds of realization resulting from the enforcement of
any Senior Creditor Security or Loan Agreement Security against any Applicable
Property, all dividends, payments and other distributions made with respect to
the Senior Creditor Security or the Loan Agreement Security relative to any
Applicable Property under or with respect to any proceeding relative to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and all insurance, reimbursement,
indemnity and similar proceeds with respect to any Applicable Property, to a
maximum of the Maximum Senior Liability Amount, shall be applied first to the
payment of all Senior Liabilities to a maximum of the Maximum Senior Liability
Amount and only after repayment in cash of the Maximum Senior Liability Amount
will any proceeds of realization from the enforcement of any Loan Agreement
Security, any dividends, payments or other distributions made with respect to
the Loan Agreement Security under or with respect to any proceeding relative to
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any insurance, reimbursement,
indemnity or similar proceeds, in any such case with respect to any Applicable
Property, be available to satisfy any Loan Agreement Liabilities.
Notwithstanding any priority to which any creditor (a “Senior Creditor”) under
a Permitted Senior Credit Facility and the Lenders may be or become entitled
for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, any of the matters
listed below) relative to any Applicable Property, the Senior Creditor Security
does hereby and shall have full and absolute priority over, and shall rank as
senior security to, the Loan Agreement Security with respect to all of the
Applicable Property until all of the Senior Liabilities (up to the Maximum
Senior Liability Amount) are paid and satisfied in full in cash and all
agreements or obligations on the part of the Senior Creditors pursuant to the
Permitted Senior Credit Facilities to make further financial accommodation
available to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall have been
terminated. The rights of the Senior Creditors and the priorities and
subordinations provided for in this Section shall apply irrespective of any
act, matter or thing of any kind, nature or description whatsoever including,
without limitation (i) the time or sequence of creation, granting, execution,
delivery or registration of any security document; (ii) the terms or provisions
of any Permitted Senior Credit Facility or Senior Creditor Security or any Loan
Document or Loan Agreement Security, (iii) the attachment or perfection, or the
non-perfection, of any Lien; (iv) the time or sequence of any advances of any
Senior Liability or any Loan Agreement Liability; (v) the time or sequence of
any demand, default or event of default, enforcement or crystalization under
any Permitted Senior Credit Facility or Senior Creditor Security or any Loan
Document or Loan Agreement Security; or (vi) any other factor of legal
relevance that would otherwise establish priorities. The Lenders acknowledge
and agree that the Borrower is contracting on its own behalf and as trustee for
each Senior Creditor and that each Senior Creditor shall be entitled as a third
party beneficiary to rely on and enforce all of the undertakings, agreements,
postponement and subordinations provided by the Lenders in this Section. The
Borrower shall also obtain and hold the rights and benefits of this Section in
trust for and on behalf of the Senior Creditors. The Lenders agree that they
will from time to time at the request of the Borrower or any Senior Creditor,
acting reasonably and in good faith, negotiate, execute and deliver a
subordination and postponement agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
the applicable Senior Creditors

- 45 -

establishing to their satisfaction the priority of the Senior Creditor
Security, and all proceeds with respect thereto, to the Loan Agreement Security
as contemplated under this Section.

     For greater certainty, the provisions of this Section 9.9 shall operate
without limitation to the rights of the Lenders under the Borrower’s Specific
Security Agreements in respect of the Security of the Lenders over the Specific
Collateral.

9.10 Recapitalization, Exchanges, etc., Affecting the Common Shares

     Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement
shall apply to any and all Common Shares of the Borrower or any successor or
assignee of the Borrower (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets
otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in
substitution for the Common Shares, by reason of any share dividend, split,
reverse split, combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, or otherwise in such a manner as to reflect the intent and
meaning of the provisions hereof.

9.11 Governing Law

     This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of
Canada applicable therein.

9.12 Counterparts and Facsimile

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed
signature page to this Agreement by any party by facsimile transmission shall
be as effective as delivery of a manually executed copy of this Agreement by
such party.
