                                MASTER AGREEMENT
                                       FOR
                            STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT

                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

June 30, 2004

GE Canada Finance Holding Company
c/o General Electric Capital Corporation
201 High Ridge Road
Stamford, CT 06927

      The undersigned ("APPLICANT") will require, from time to time, Standby
Letters of Credit. In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, GE
Canada Finance Holding Company ("ISSUER") will, upon Applicant's application
therefor, and to the extent such application is approved by Issuer in its sole
discretion, issue Standby Letters of Credit or arrange for the issuance thereof
through an affiliate of Issuer. Each Credit will be governed by and interpreted
in accordance with the following terms and conditions. Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned to
them in SECTION 9 below.

1.    PAYMENT TERMS.

      In addition to all commissions, charges, fees and expenses payable in
connection with Credits pursuant to the Credit Agreement (including the Letter
of Credit Fee), Applicant agrees to pay to Issuer on demand, at Issuer's office
located at 201 High Ridge Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06927, or at such other
address or account as may be designated in writing by Issuer, in Dollars, in
immediately available funds without duplication: (i) each amount paid by Issuer
under any Credit (which payment is permitted or required under this Agreement,
ISP 98 or applicable law) in Dollars or in the event that the Credit permits
Drafts under such Credit to be payable in a currency other than Dollars, the
Equivalent Amount of Dollars of each amount so drawn; (ii) interest on each
amount (or the Equivalent Amount of Dollars thereof) so drawn for each day from
the date of payment of the relevant Draft to and including the date of payment
in full of such amount by Applicant to Issuer, at the rate specified in the
Credit Agreement; and (iii) any and all commissions and charges of, and any and
all costs and expenses incurred by, Issuer and its subcontractors or agents in
relation to the Credits and all Drafts thereunder. A schedule of commissions and
charges is attached hereto as ANNEX I. If a Credit provides for sight payment,
reimbursement by Applicant is due on the day on which Issuer pays on the
applicable Draft. All payments by Applicant hereunder shall be made without
withholding, deduction or set-off and shall be made free and clear of taxes.

2.    SECURITY INTEREST.

      To secure the payment and performance of all Obligations (including the
Letter of Credit Obligations), Applicant hereby grants to Issuer a security
interest in the unqualified right to the possession and disposal of all property
shipped under or in connection with each Credit, whether released to Applicant
under security agreements or otherwise, and also in and to all shipping
documents, documents of title, or Drafts drawn under each Credit and in and to
all other property

                                                 MASTER AGREEMENT (Standby L/Cs)
<PAGE>

owned by Applicant, in or coming into Issuer's possession or custody, and in any
deposit balances now or hereafter held by a bank as custodian for Issuer for
Applicant's account, together with the proceeds of each and all of the
foregoing, until the Termination Date (subject to reinstatement as provided in
the Loan Documents). The grant of a security interest in the preceding sentence
supplements, rather than limits or supersedes, any grant of a security interest
by Applicant in the Loan Documents. If Issuer honors any presentation, demand or
Draft and Applicant fails to reimburse Issuer therefor in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement, Issuer may assert its rights of subrogation under
applicable law, whether Issuer's honor satisfies all or only part of the
underlying obligation. Applicant must, on reasonable notice, cooperate with
Issuer in its assertion of Applicant's rights against the Beneficiary, the
Beneficiary's rights against Applicant, and any other rights that Issuer may
have by subrogation or assignment. Such cooperation shall include the prompt
return of all Drafts, documents, instruments and statements in Applicant's
possession that were presented by or on behalf of Beneficiary in connection with
any draw under a Credit. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the
terms of SECTION 8(B) below, Applicant agrees to make upon demand such cash
deposits with Issuer as Issuer may require to further secure Applicant's Letter
of Credit Obligations.

3.    ADMINISTRATION OF CREDIT.

      (a)   Applicant will promptly examine a copy of each Credit (and any
proposed amendments thereto) sent to Applicant, as well as all other instruments
and documents delivered to Applicant from time to time in connection with such
Credit, and, in the event Applicant has any claim of non-compliance with the
instructions or of any discrepancy or other irregularity or any objection to any
action taken or proposed to be taken by Issuer with respect to any Credit,
Applicant will notify Issuer thereof in writing within three Business Days after
its receipt of a copy of such Credit, any amendments thereto, or such
instruments or documents or notice of any such proposed action, and Applicant
will conclusively be deemed to have waived any such claim against Issuer and its
subcontractors, servicers and agents or any defense to payment of Issuer, its
subcontractors or agents, unless such notice is given as aforesaid. This SECTION
3(a) is intended to substitute three Business Days for the "not unreasonable"
time period set forth in Rule 5.09b of ISP 98.

      (b)   Neither Issuer nor any of its agents, subcontractors or servicers
shall be responsible for, and neither Issuer's powers and rights hereunder nor
Applicant's obligations shall be affected by: (i) any act or omission pursuant
to Applicant's instructions; (ii) any other act or omission of Issuer or its
subcontractors, servicers, agents or employees other than any such arising from
its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) the validity,
accuracy or genuineness of Drafts, documents or required statements, even if
such Drafts, documents or statements should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (and notwithstanding that
Applicant shall have notified Issuer thereof); (iv) failure of any Draft to bear
any reference or adequate reference to the applicable Credit; (v) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission of delivery of any messages
however sent and whether or not in code or otherwise; (vi) any act, default,
omission, insolvency or failure in business of any other person (including any
agent, subcontractor or employee) or any consequences arising from causes beyond
Issuer's control; (vii) any acts or omissions of any Beneficiary of any Credit
or transferee of any Credit, if transferable; (viii) any act or omission of
Issuer required or permitted under any (1) law or practice to which a Credit is
subject (including ISP 98), (2) applicable

                                       2

                                                 MASTER AGREEMENT (Standby L/Cs)
<PAGE>

order, ruling or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental agency, or (3)
published statement or interpretation on a matter of law or practice (including
ISP 98); (ix) honor or other recognition of a presentation or demand that
includes forged or fraudulent documents or that is otherwise affected by the
fraudulent, bad faith, or illegal conduct of the Beneficiary or other person
(excluding Issuer's employees), including payment to a person who forges the
signature of a Beneficiary or the signature of an assignee of a Credit's
proceeds; (x) honor of a presentation without regard to any nondocumentary
condition(s) in the Credit, regardless of whether Rule 4.11 of ISP 98 applies;
or (xi) dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply with the
terms of the applicable Credit or that is fraudulent, forged or otherwise not
entitled to be honored. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer
may (1) act in reliance on any oral, telephone, telegraphic, electronic,
facsimile or written request, notice, or instruction believed in good faith to
be from or have been authorized by Applicant, (2) receive, accept or pay as
complying with the terms of a Credit any Drafts or other documents, otherwise in
order, which are signed by or issued to any person or entity acting as the
representative of, or in the place of, the party in whose name such Credit
provides that any Drafts or other documents should be drawn or issued, and (3)
waive its stipulation that the bank nominated in the applicable Credit shall
accept or pay the Drafts, and Issuer may then accept presentations of Drafts and
documents for payment directly.

      (c)   Subject to Issuer's obtaining any necessary consent from the
Beneficiary or other third party, Issuer may for Applicant's account at any time
(i) treat a Credit as governed by the law of the place where Issuer or the
Beneficiary is located, notwithstanding a choice of law provision in the Credit,
and, in case of conflict, treat the law as prevailing over practice in such
place or vice versa; (ii) shorten or lengthen the examination period; (iii)
specify or amend a specified place or manner of receiving a presentation,
effecting honor, or giving notice of dishonor; or (iv) discount an accepted
Draft or deferred obligation incurred under the Credit.

      (d)   Unless Issuer is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction,
Issuer may assume that any Beneficiary or other presenter acts in good faith and
that any presentation or other demand is non-fraudulent.

      (e)   Unless the Credit specifically permits and Issuer specifically
agrees, Issuer need not check the authenticity or authority of any purported
Beneficiary signature, even if in other transactions the Beneficiary is a
customer or its signature is otherwise known to Issuer.

      (f)   Unless specifically committed to do so in a writing signed by
Issuer, Issuer need not consent to any amendment of a Credit. Issuer shall,
without authorization from Applicant, send a notice of non-extension to the
Beneficiary and Applicant under a Credit if it provides for automatic extension;
provided, that Issuer shall not incur any liability for failure to provide such
notice to Applicant. Any notice of dishonor given by Issuer within six Business
Days after presentation of documents to Issuer shall not be deemed to be
unreasonable. This SECTION 3(d) is intended to substitute six Business Days for
the three Business Days set forth in Rule 5.01a of ISP 98.

      (g)   Notwithstanding any waiver by Applicant of discrepancies in Drafts,
documents or required statements, Issuer acting alone has the right in its sole
judgment, to decline to approve any discrepancies and to refuse payment on that
basis under any Credit issued hereunder.

                                       3

                                                 MASTER AGREEMENT (Standby L/Cs)
<PAGE>

      (h)   Issuer may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to
any affiliate of Issuer, in each case without prior notice to Applicant;
provided, that such assignment and delegation does not diminish Applicant's
rights or increase Applicant's duties hereunder.

      (i)   No Credit shall be issued hereunder providing for the acceptance of
time Drafts or the incurrence of deferred payment undertakings.

      (j)   Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, if
Applicant approves the issuance of a Credit requiring payment of a Draft on the
same day on which such Draft is presented, Issuer shall be entitled to honor
such Draft without review or examination by Applicant and Applicant waives all
defenses to reimbursement thereof based on irregularities that may have been
revealed by Applicant's review or examination.

      4.    LETTER OF CREDIT TEXT; EXTENSIONS, INCREASES AND MODIFICATIONS OF
CREDIT.

      (a)   Applicant is responsible for preparing or approving the text of each
Credit as issued by Issuer and as received by the Beneficiary. Issuer's
recommendation or drafting of text or Issuer's use or non-use or refusal to use
text submitted by Applicant shall not affect Applicant's ultimate responsibility
for the final text and its receipt by the Beneficiary. Applicant is responsible
for the effect, or lack of effect under Rule 4.11 of ISP 98 or other applicable
law, of a provision in any Credit that requires Issuer to verify facts rather
than examine documents or that fails to identify the documents to which the
provision applies.

      (b)   Applicant is responsible for including suitable provisions in the
underlying agreement that permit Applicant to review the text of the Credit as
received by the Beneficiary and that describe the circumstances under which a
drawing under the Credit may be made, Credit proceeds may be applied to the
underlying agreement, and part or all of those proceeds may be returned.
Applicant accepts the risk that the text of the Credit is consistent with the
underlying obligation, suitable for Applicant's purposes, and received by the
Beneficiary in time to permit the Beneficiary and Applicant to review the Credit
and to request any desired amendments.

      (c)   Applicant agrees that Issuer may at any time and from time to time,
in its discretion, by agreement with one or more other Applicants (whether or
not such Applicant shall have been appointed as the "Agent Applicant" in the
Joint Signature Agreement contained in the Application): (i) further finance or
refinance any transaction under any Credit; (ii) renew, extend or change the
time of payment or the manner, place or terms of payment of any of the
Obligations; (iii) settle or compromise any of the Obligations or subordinate
the payment thereof to the payment of any other debts of or claims against any
Applicant which may at the time be due or owing to Issuer; or (iv) release any
other Applicant or any Guarantor or any Collateral, or modify the terms under
which such Collateral is held, or forego any right of setoff, or modify or amend
in any way this Agreement or any Credit, or give any waiver or consent under
this Agreement, all in such manner and on such terms as Issuer may deem proper
and without notice or further assent from such Applicant. In any such event,
Applicant shall remain bound by such event and this Agreement after giving
effect to such event, and the Obligations under this Agreement shall be
continuing obligations in respect of any transaction so financed or refinanced
and, in either case, if the Obligations are contingent, may be treated by Issuer
as due and payable for their maximum face amount.

5.    RESERVE REQUIREMENTS AND SIMILAR COSTS.

      If Issuer is now or hereafter becomes subject to any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with, or for the
account of, or credit extended by, Issuer, or any other condition is imposed
upon Issuer which imposes a cost upon Issuer, and the result, in the reasonable
credit judgment of Issuer is to increase the cost to Issuer of maintaining a
Credit or paying or funding the payment of any Draft thereunder, or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable, directly or indirectly, by Issuer
hereunder, Applicant will pay to Issuer upon demand such amounts required to
compensate Issuer for such increased cost or reduction. In making the
determinations contemplated hereunder, Issuer may make such estimates,
assumptions, allocations and the like which Issuer in good faith determines to
be appropriate, but Issuer's selection thereof, and Issuer determinations based
thereon, shall be presumptive evidence upon Applicant.

6.    POSSESSION OF PROPERTY BY APPLICANT.

      If Applicant accepts or retains possession of documents, goods or other
property, if any, covered by a Credit, prior to Issuer's review of such
documents, then all discrepancies and other irregularities of said documents
shall be deemed waived by Applicant, and Issuer is authorized and directed to
pay any Drafts drawn or purporting to be drawn upon such Credit.

7.    PARTIAL SHIPMENTS.

      Except as otherwise expressly stated in any Credit (a) partial shipments
may be made under such Credit, and Issuer may honor the relative Drafts without
inquiry regardless of any apparent disproportion between the quantity shipped
and the amount of the relative Draft and the total amount of such Credit and the
total quantity to be shipped under such Credit, and (b) if such Credit specifies
shipments in installments within stated periods and the shipper fails to ship in
any designated period, shipments of subsequent installments may nevertheless be
made in their respective designated periods and Issuer may honor the relative
Drafts.

8.    EVENTS OF DEFAULT, REMEDIES; PRE-FUNDING.

      (a)   If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other than
an Event of Default specified in SECTIONS 8.1(h) or 8.1(i) of the Credit
Agreement, Issuer, in its capacity as "Lender" under the Credit Agreement, may
pursue any of the remedies provided for in the Loan Documents, including
declaring that all of the Obligations (including any such Obligations hereunder
that may be contingent and not matured) are immediately due and payable. If an
Event of Default under SECTIONS 8.1(h) or 8.1(i) of the Credit Agreement has
occurred, the Obligations shall automatically be due and payable.

      (b)   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Applicant agrees
that if: (i) any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; (ii) Issuer at any time and for any reason deems itself to be
insecure or the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any of the Obligations
to have increased; or (iii) in the event that a Credit is denominated in a
currency other than Dollars, Issuer determines that such currency is unavailable
or that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unlawful or contrary
to any regulations to which Issuer or any agent, servicer or subcontractor of
Issuer may be subject or that due to currency fluctuations the Equivalent Amount
of Dollars of the amount of a Credit exceeds the amount of Dollars that Issuer
in its sole judgment expected to be its maximum exposure under such Credit, then
Applicant will upon demand pay to Issuer an amount equal to the undisbursed
portion, if any, of

                                       5

                                                 MASTER AGREEMENT (Standby L/Cs)
<PAGE>

such Credit, and such amount shall be held as additional Collateral for the
payment of all Letter of Credit Obligations, and after the expiration hereof, to
the extent not applied to the Letter of Credit Obligations, shall be returned to
Applicant (unless otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan

      Applicant agrees to reimburse Issuer and its subcontractors, servicers and

against all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses ("INDEMNIFIED
LIABILITIES"), including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or suffered
by Issuer and its subcontractors, servicers and agents in connection with this
Agreement or any Credit, to the extent provided in SECTION 1.13 of the Credit
Agreement. Such Indemnified Liabilities shall include all such Indemnified
Liabilities incurred or suffered by Issuer and its subcontractors, servicers and
agents in connection with (a) Issuer's exercise of any right or remedy granted
to it hereunder or under the Loan Documents, (b) any claim and the prosecution
or defense thereof arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement,
including as a result of any act or omission by a Beneficiary, (c) the
collection or enforcement of the Obligations, and (d) any of the events or
circumstances referred to in SECTION 3(b) hereof, including any defense by
Issuer in an action in which Applicant obtains an injunction against
presentation or honor of any Draft. None of Issuer or any subcontractor,
servicer or agent of Issuer shall be liable to Applicant for any special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising with respect to any Credit.
Applicant must in all instances mitigate damages claimed against Issuer or any
subcontractor, servicer or agent arising with respect to any Credit. If Issuer
honors a Draft or presentation under a Credit for which Applicant claims it is
not obligated to reimburse Issuer, Applicant shall nonetheless pay to Issuer the
amount paid by Issuer, without prejudice to Applicant's claims against Issuer to
recover fees and costs paid by Applicant with respect to the honored
presentation plus any direct damages resulting therefrom which Applicant is
unable to avoid or reduce. Applicant's prevailing in an action based on forgery
or fraud of the Beneficiary or other presenter does not relieve Applicant from
its obligation to pay Issuer's costs and expenses in contesting the entry or
maintenance of injunctive relief.

11.   LICENSES; INSURANCE.

      If any Credit assures payment for goods to be imported, Applicant shall
procure or cause the Beneficiaries of each Credit to procure promptly any
necessary import and export or other licenses for import or export or shipping
of any goods referred to in or pursuant to such Credit and to comply and to
cause the Beneficiaries to comply with all foreign and domestic governmental
regulations in regard to the shipment and warehousing of such goods or otherwise
relating to or affecting such Credit, including governmental regulations
pertaining to transactions involving designated foreign countries or their
nationals, and to furnish such certificates in that

                                       7

                                                 MASTER AGREEMENT (Standby L/Cs)
<PAGE>

respect as Issuer may at any time require, and to keep such goods adequately
covered by insurance in amounts, with carriers and for such risks as shall be
satisfactory to Issuer, and to cause Issuer's interest to be endorsed thereon,
and to furnish Issuer on demand with evidence thereof. Should the insurance upon
said goods for any reason be unsatisfactory to Issuer, Issuer may, at its
expense, obtain insurance satisfactory to it.

12.   NO WAIVERS OF RIGHTS HEREUNDER; RIGHTS CUMULATIVE.

      No delay by Issuer in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude
other or further exercises thereof or the exercise of any other right. No waiver
or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be enforceable against
Issuer unless in writing and signed by an officer of Issuer, and unless it
expressly refers to the provision affected, any such waiver shall be limited
solely to the specific event waived. All rights granted Issuer hereunder shall
be cumulative and shall be supplementary of and in addition to those granted or
available to Issuer under the Loan Documents or applicable law and nothing
herein shall be construed as limiting any such other right.

13.   CONTINUING AGREEMENT; TERMINATION.

      This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the
Termination Date (subject to reinstatement, as provided in the Loan Documents).

14.   PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.

      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, Issuer reserves the
right to decline (a) any request made by Applicant for the issuance of a Credit
or (b) any instruction provided by Applicant if, in its discretion, Issuer
determines that the issuance of such Credit or the carrying out of such
instruction contravenes Issuer's customary procedures or policy, ISP 98 or any
applicable law, rule or regulation.

15.   GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CERTAIN WAIVERS.

      (a)   This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, and with respect to all
security interests granted in connection herewith, Issuer shall have the rights
and remedies of a secured party under applicable law. This Agreement supplements
the Loan Documents, including those provisions relating to Letter of Credit
Obligations and, except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, this
Agreement does not supersede the Loan Documents.

      (b)   APPLICANT AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS RELATING DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LITIGATED ONLY IN COURTS LOCATED IN THE
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND THAT SUCH COURTS ARE CONVENIENT FORUMS THEREFOR, AND
APPLICANT SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS.

      (c)   Applicant waives personal service of process upon it and consents
that any such service of process may be made by certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, directed to Applicant at its address last specified
for notices hereunder, and service so made shall be deemed completed three
Business Days after the same shall have been so mailed.

      (d)   APPLICANT WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BETWEEN IT AND ISSUER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO

                                       8

                                                 MASTER AGREEMENT (Standby L/Cs)
<PAGE>

ASSERT IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
OBLIGATIONS ANY OFFSETS OR COUNTERCLAIMS WHICH IT MAY HAVE.

      (e)   Each Credit and this Agreement shall be subject to ISP 98 and the
same is incorporated herein by reference. Applicant is responsible for knowing
applicable letter of credit law and practice, including ISP 98. Solely for
purposes of interpreting the ISP 98's application to this Agreement and Credits
issued hereunder, Issuer shall be deemed to be a "bank" as such term is used in
ISP 98. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall prevail
in case of a conflict with applicable law or ISP 98, and ISP 98 shall prevail in
case of a conflict with applicable law.

16.   NOTICES.

      Any notice to Issuer shall be effective only if in writing or by
authenticated teletransmission acceptable to Issuer, as applicable, directed to
the attention of and received by Issuer. Any notice to or demand on Applicant,
or, if more than one Applicant executes this Agreement, the Agent Applicant,
shall be binding on all Applicants and shall be effective when made to
Applicant, or if more than one Applicant executes this Agreement, the Agent
Applicant, by mail, telegraph, facsimile, telephone or otherwise, in the case of
mailed, telegraphed or cabled notices, to the address appearing below such
Applicant's signature or at such other address as may hereafter be specified in
a notice designated as a notice of change of address under this paragraph, and
in the case of telephonic or facsimile notices, to the telephone number of such

            2.    GRANT OF LIEN.

            (a)   To secure the prompt and complete payment, performance
      and observance of all of the Obligations of each Canadian Grantor
      (specifically including each Borrower's Obligations arising under the
      cross-guaranty provisions of Section 12 of the Credit Agreement, each
      Canadian Grantor hereby grants, conveys, mortgages, pledges, hypothecates
      and transfers to Canadian Agent, for the benefit of Canadian Agent and
      Canadian Lenders, a Lien upon all of its right, title and interest in, to
      and under the following personal property of such Canadian Grantor,
      whether now owned by or owing to, or hereafter acquired by or arising in
      favour of, each such Canadian Grantor (including under any trade names,
      styles or derivations thereof), and whether owned by or consigned by or
      to, or leased from or to, each such Canadian Grantor, and regardless of
      where located (all of which being hereinafter collectively referred to as
      the "Collateral"):

                  (i)   all Accounts;

                  (ii)  all Chattel Paper;

                  (iii) all Contracts;

                  (iv)  all Deposit Accounts, including all Blocked Accounts,
            Concentration Accounts, Disbursement Accounts, and all other bank
            accounts and all funds on deposit therein;

                  (v)   all Documents;

                  (vi)  all General Intangibles (including payment intangibles
            and Software);

                  (vii) all Goods (including Equipment, Fixtures and
            Inventory,);

                  (viii) all Instruments;

                  (ix)  all Investment Property;

                  (x)   all Letter-of-Credit Rights;

                  (xi)  all money, cash or cash equivalents;

                  (xii) all Supporting Obligations; and

                  (xiii) to the extent not otherwise included in the foregoing,
            all Proceeds, products, tort claims, insurance claims and other
            rights to payment and all accessions to, substitutions and
            replacements for, and rents and profits of, each of the foregoing.

<PAGE>
                                      -3-

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, "Collateral" that includes any
Trademarks, Trademark applications or Trademark registrations will not be
subject to a "mortgage" as provided above in this SECTION 2(a) but will remain
subject to the grant, conveyance, pledge, hypothecation and transfer as also
provided above in this SECTION 2(a). Furthermore, the "Collateral" shall not
include any Excluded Assets, but will include any Accounts arising thereunder.

            (b)   In addition, to secure the prompt and complete payment,
      performance and observance of the Obligations and in order to induce
      Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders as aforesaid, each Canadian Grantor
      hereby grants to Canadian Agent, for the benefit of Canadian Agent and
      Canadian Lenders, a right of set-off against the property of such Canadian
      Grantor held by Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender in accordance with
      the Credit Agreement, including all property described above in SECTION
      2(A) now or hereafter in the possession or custody of, or in transit to,
      Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender, for any purpose (including
      safekeeping, collection or pledge), for the account of such Canadian
      Grantor, or as to which such Canadian Grantor may have any right or power.

            3.    AGENT'S AND LENDERS' RIGHTS; LIMITATIONS ON AGENT'S AND
LENDERS' OBLIGATIONS.

            (a)   It is expressly agreed by each Canadian Grantor that, anything
      herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Canadian Grantor shall remain
      liable under any and all Contracts and Licenses to which it is a party to
      observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and
      performed by it thereunder. Neither Canadian Agent nor any Canadian Lender
      shall have any obligation or liability under any such Contract or License
      by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the granting
      herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Canadian Agent or any Canadian
      Lender of any payment relating to any such Contract or License pursuant
      hereto. Neither Canadian Agent nor any Canadian Lender shall be required
      or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of
      any Canadian Grantor under or pursuant to any such Contract or License, or
      to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the
      sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any
      performance by any party under any such Contract or License, or to present
      or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any
      performance or the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to
      it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

            (b)   Canadian Agent may, at any time after an Event of Default
      shall have occurred and be continuing, without prior notice to any
      Canadian Grantor, notify Account Debtors obligated under Accounts of any
      Canadian Grantor and other Persons obligated on Collateral that Canadian
      Agent has a Lien thereon and that payments thereunder shall be made
      directly to Canadian Agent, for the benefit of Canadian Agent and Canadian
      Lenders, while such Event of Default is continuing. Furthermore, if
      Canadian Agent determines that Account Debtor's contra accounts or set-off
      rights may cause Borrowing Availability to be less than zero, Canadian
      Agent may notify Account Debtors that Canadian Agent has a Lien thereon,
      and that payments shall be made directly to Canadian

<PAGE>
                                      -4-

      Agent, for the benefit of Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders. Upon the
      request of Canadian Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is
      continuing, each Canadian Grantor shall so notify any such Account Debtor
      or other Persons obligated on the Collateral, and once any such notice has
      been given by any Canadian Grantor, no Canadian Grantor shall give any
      contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without
      Canadian Agent's prior written consent.

            (c)   Canadian Agent may, at any time, in Canadian Agent's own name,
      in the name of a nominee of Canadian Agent, in the name of any Canadian
      Grantor or in the name of a nominee of any Canadian Grantor, communicate
      (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with Account Debtors
      obligated under Accounts of such Canadian Grantor and other Persons
      obligated on Collateral to verify with such Persons, to Canadian Agent's
      satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of, and any other matter
      relating to, any such Accounts or other Collateral. If a Default or Event
      of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Canadian Grantor,
      at its own expense, shall cause the independent certified public
      accountants then engaged by such Canadian Grantor to prepare and deliver
      to Canadian Agent and each Canadian Lender at any time and from time to
      time promptly upon Canadian Agent's request the following reports with
      respect to each Canadian Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts;
      (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test
      verification of such Accounts as Canadian Agent may request. Each Canadian
      Grantor, at its own expense, shall deliver to Canadian Agent upon request
      the results of each physical verification, if any, which such Canadian
      Grantor may in its discretion have made, or caused any other Person to
      have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of its Inventory.

            (d)   If, notwithstanding the giving of any notice hereunder
      directing that payments be made directly to Canadian Agent, any Account
      Debtor of such Canadian Grantor or any other Person obligated on
      Collateral shall make payments to such Canadian Grantor, such Canadian
      Grantor shall hold all such payments it receives in trust for Canadian
      Agent, for the benefit of Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders, without
      commingling the same with other funds or property of, or held by, such
      Canadian Grantor and shall deliver the same to Canadian Agent in the
      manner set forth in Annex C to the Credit Agreement, in the identical form
      received, together with any necessary endorsements.

            4.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Canadian Grantor
represents and warrants that:

            (a)   Rights in the Collateral. Such Canadian Grantor has rights in

      Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) in connection with
      any other Permitted Encumbrance.

      financing statements in accordance with the PPSA or other applicable
      statute, in the jurisdictions listed in SCHEDULE I hereto, Canadian Agent,
      for the benefit of Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders, shall have a
      perfected Lien on the Collateral, which Lien (i) shall be prior to all

      Lenders, as a matter of law, and (ii) is enforceable as such as against
      any and all creditors of, and purchasers from, such Canadian Grantor
      (other than purchasers and lessees of Inventory in the ordinary course of
      business). All action by such Canadian Grantor necessary or desirable to
      protect and perfect such Lien on each item of the Collateral has been duly
      taken.

            (d)   Instruments, Letter-of-Credit Rights and Chattel Paper.
      SCHEDULE II hereto lists all Instruments, Letter-of-Credit Rights and
      Chattel Paper of each Canadian Grantor. All action by such Canadian
      Grantor necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the Lien in favour
      of Canadian Agent on each item of Collateral set forth in SCHEDULE II
      (including the delivery of all originals thereof to Canadian Agent and the
      legending of all such Chattel Paper as required by SECTION 5(b) hereof)
      has been duly taken. The Lien in favour of Canadian Agent, for the benefit
      of Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders, on the Collateral listed in
      SCHEDULE II hereto is prior to all other Liens, except Permitted
      Encumbrances that would be prior to the Liens in favour of Canadian Agent
      as a matter of law, and is enforceable as such against any and all
      creditors of and purchasers from such Canadian Grantor. Such Canadian
      Grantor shall, upon obtaining ownership of any additional Instruments
      (other than cheques received in the ordinary course of business), letters
      of credit or Chattel Paper, promptly (and in any event within five
      Business Days) deliver to Canadian Agent, for the benefit of Canadian
      Agent and Canadian Lenders, all such additional Instruments or Chattel
      Paper duly endorsed and all letters of credit.

      Records. Each Canadian Grantor's name as it appears in official filings in

            (f)   Accounts. With respect to any Account of such Canadian
      Grantor, except as specifically disclosed in the most recent Collateral
      Report delivered to Canadian Agent and as of the date of such Collateral
      Report: (i) such Account represents a bona fide sale of Inventory or
      rendering of services to the applicable Account Debtor in the ordinary
      course of such Canadian Grantor's business and is not evidenced by a
      judgment, Instrument or Chattel Paper; (ii) there are no set-offs, claims
      or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto and such Canadian
      Grantor has made no agreement with the applicable Account Debtor for any
      extension of time for the payment thereof, any compromise or settlement
      for less than the full amount thereof, any release of such Account Debtor
      from liability therefor, or any deduction therefrom except a discount or
      allowance allowed by such Canadian Grantor in the ordinary course of its
      business for prompt payment and disclosed to Canadian Agent; (iii) to such
      Canadian Grantor's knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences
      that in any way impair the validity or enforceability thereof or could
      reasonably be expected to reduce the amount payable thereunder as shown on

      Grantor has no knowledge that the applicable Account Debtor is unable
      generally to pay its debts as they become due. In addition, with respect
      to any Account of any Canadian Grantor: (A) the amounts reflected on all
      records, invoices, statements and Collateral Reports that may be delivered

      to such Canadian Grantor as indicated thereon and are not, unless

      will concurrently therewith obtain, to the extent required by the Credit
      Agreement, bailee, landlord or mortgagee agreements, as applicable, (iii)

      of any monies to any third party upon such sale or other disposition, and
      (v) the completion of manufacture, sale or other disposition of such

      a party or to which such Inventory is subject.

            (h)   Intellectual Property Collateral. Such Canadian Grantor has no

discretion upon prior written notice), each Canadian Grantor shall deliver to

securities, Chattel Paper and Instruments (in each case, accompanied by stock
powers, allonges or other instruments of transfer executed in blank) promptly
after such Canadian Grantor receives the same.

                  (iii) Each Canadian Grantor shall, in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement, obtain or use its commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain waivers or subordinations of Liens from landlords and mortgagees, and
such Canadian Grantor shall in all instances obtain signed acknowledgements of
Canadian Agent's Liens from bailees having possession of such Canadian Grantor's
Goods that such bailees hold for the benefit of Canadian Agent.

                  (iv)  If required by the terms of the Credit Agreement and not
waived by Canadian Agent in writing (which waiver may be revoked by Canadian
Agent at any time in its sole discretion), each Canadian Grantor shall obtain
authenticated Control Letters from each issuer of uncertificated securities,
securities intermediary, or commodities intermediary issuing or holding any
financial assets or commodities to or for such Canadian Grantor.

                  (v)   In accordance with ANNEX C to the Credit Agreement, each
Canadian Grantor shall obtain a blocked account, lockbox or similar agreement
with each bank or financial institution at which such Canadian Grantor has
established a Deposit Account.

                  (vi)  If any Canadian Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of
a letter of credit, then such Canadian Grantor shall promptly, and in any event
within five Business Days after becoming such a beneficiary, notify Canadian
Agent thereof and enter into a tri-party agreement with Canadian Agent and the

Grantor provides such notice with respect all to Letter-of-Credit Rights in
connection with such letter of credit assigning such Letter-of-Credit Rights to
Canadian Agent and directing all payments thereunder to the Collection Account
or another bank account designated by Canadian Agent, which tri-party agreement
shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Canadian Agent.

                  (vii) Each Canadian Grantor shall take all commercially
reasonable steps necessary to grant Canadian Agent control of all electronic

granting to Canadian Agent a Lien in such commercial tort claim.

            (b)   Maintenance of Books and Records. Such Canadian Grantor shall
      keep and maintain, at its own cost and expense, satisfactory and complete
      records of each item of Collateral to which it purports to grant a Lien
      hereunder, including a record of any and all payments received and any and
      all credits granted with respect to each such item of Collateral and all
      other dealings with respect to each such item of Collateral. Such Canadian
      Grantor shall mark its books and records pertaining to each such item of
      Collateral to evidence this Security Agreement and the Liens granted
      hereby. If any Canadian Grantor retains possession of any Chattel Paper or
      Instruments with Canadian

<PAGE>
                                      -9-

      Agent's consent, such Chattel Paper or Instruments shall be marked with
      the following legend: "This writing and the obligations evidenced or
      secured hereby are subject to the security interest of GE Canada Finance
      Holding Company, as Canadian Agent, for the benefit of Canadian Agent and
      certain Canadian Lenders."

            (c)   Covenants Regarding Intellectual Property.

                        (i)   Such Canadian Grantor shall notify Canadian Agent
promptly if it knows or has reason to know (A) that any application or
registration relating to any of its Licenses, Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights
may become abandoned or dedicated, or (B) of any adverse determination or
development (including the institution of, or any such determination or
development in, any proceeding in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or
any court) regarding such Canadian Grantor's ownership of any such License,
Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and
maintain the same.

                        (ii)  In the event that such Canadian Grantor, either
directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee on behalf of it,
files an application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright
with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or any similar office or agency,
such Canadian Grantor shall give Canadian Agent written notice within five
Business Days following such filing, and, upon request of Canadian Agent, such
Canadian Grantor shall execute and deliver any and all security documents as
Canadian Agent may request, including the Intellectual Property Security
Agreement, to evidence Canadian Agent's Lien on such Patent, Trademark or
Copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Canadian Grantor relating thereto
or represented thereby.

                        (iii) Such Canadian Grantor shall take all actions
deemed necessary by such Canadian Grantor or requested by Canadian Agent to
maintain and pursue each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to
maintain its registration of each of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (now
or hereafter existing), including the filing of applications for renewal,
affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and
interference and cancellation proceedings, unless such Canadian Grantor shall
determine that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright is not material to the
conduct of its business or operations.

                        (iv)  In the event that any Canadian Grantor's
Intellectual Property is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a
third party, such Canadian Grantor shall comply with SECTION 5(a)(viii) of this
Security Agreement. Such Canadian Grantor shall, unless such Canadian Grantor
shall reasonably determine that such Intellectual Property is not material to
the conduct of its business or operations, promptly sue for infringement,
misappropriation or depreciation of goodwill, and seek recovery of any and all
damages resulting from, such infringement, misappropriation or depreciation of
goodwill, and shall take such other actions as Canadian Agent shall deem
appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.

            (d)   Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by
      Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender relating to any Collateral for any
      sum owing with respect thereto or to enforce any rights or claims with
      respect thereto, each Canadian Grantor

<PAGE>
                                      -10-

      shall save, indemnify and hold Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders
      harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable attorneys'
      fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set
      off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of any
      Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a breach by such
      Canadian Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other
      agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favour
      of, such obligor or its successors by such Canadian Grantor, except in the
      case of Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender, to the extent such expense,
      loss, or damage is attributable solely to the gross negligence or willful
      misconduct of Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender as determined by a
      court of competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of such Canadian
      Grantor shall be and remain enforceable against and only against such
      Canadian Grantor and shall not be enforceable against Canadian Agent or
      any Canadian Lender.

            (e)   Compliance with Terms of Accounts and Agreements. In all
      material respects, such Canadian Grantor shall perform and comply with all
      obligations in respect of the Collateral and all other agreements to which
      it is a party or by which it is bound relating to the Collateral.

            (f)   Limitation on Liens on Collateral. Such Canadian Grantor shall
      not create, incur, assume or permit to exist, and such Canadian Grantor
      shall defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as is
      necessary to remove, any Lien upon the Collateral except Permitted
      Encumbrances, and shall defend the right, title and interest of Canadian
      Agent and Canadian Lenders in and to such Canadian Grantor's rights under
      the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons.

            (g)   Limitations on Disposition. Such Canadian Grantor shall not
      sell, lease, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the
      Collateral, or attempt or contract to do so, except as permitted by the
      Credit Agreement.

            (h)   Further Identification of Collateral. Such Canadian Grantor
      shall, if so requested by Canadian Agent, furnish to Canadian Agent, as
      often as Canadian Agent requests, statements and schedules further
      identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in
      connection with the Collateral as Canadian Agent may reasonably request,
      all in such detail as Canadian Agent may specify.

            (i)   Notices. Such Canadian Grantor shall advise Canadian Agent
      promptly, in reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien (other than Permitted
      Encumbrances) or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral, and
      (ii) of the occurrence of any other event that would have a Material
      Adverse Effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the Liens
      created hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

            (j)   Good Standing Certificates. Not less frequently than once
      during each calendar quarter, each Canadian Grantor shall, unless Canadian
      Agent shall otherwise consent, provide to Canadian Agent a certificate of
      good standing, certificate of compliance, certificate of status or
      analogous certificate from its jurisdiction of organization.

                                      -11

            (k)   No Reorganization. Without limiting the prohibitions on
      mergers involving Canadian Grantors contained in the Credit Agreement, no
      Canadian Grantor shall continue, reincorporate or reorganize itself under
      the laws of any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which it is
      organized as of the Closing Date without the prior written consent of
      Canadian Agent.

            (l)   Terminations; Amendments Not Authorized. Each Canadian Grantor
      acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or
      financing change statement or termination and release with respect to any
      financing statement without the prior written consent of Canadian Agent
      and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of
      Canadian Agent, subject to such Canadian Grantor's rights under the PPSA.

            (m)   Authorized Terminations. Canadian Agent will promptly deliver
      to each Canadian Grantor for filing or authorize each Canadian Grantor to
      prepare and file discharges and releases in accordance with Section
      11.2(e) of the Credit Agreement.

            6.    AGENT'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

            On the Closing Date each Canadian Grantor shall execute and deliver
to Canadian Agent a power of attorney (the "Power of Attorney") substantially in
the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A. The power of attorney granted pursuant to
each Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable until the Termination Date. The powers conferred on Canadian Agent,
for the benefit of Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders, under each Power of
Attorney are solely to protect Canadian Agent's Liens upon and interests (for
the benefit of Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders) in the Collateral and shall
not impose any duty upon Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender to exercise any
such powers. Canadian Agent agrees that (a) except for the powers granted in
CLAUSE (i) of the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or
authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, and (b) Canadian Agent shall account for any moneys
received by Canadian Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of
any of the Collateral pursuant to any Power of Attorney; provided, that, except
as set forth in SECTION 9, neither Canadian Agent nor any Canadian Lender shall
have any duty as to any Collateral, and Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders
shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of
the exercise of such powers. NONE OF AGENT, LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE
RESPONSIBLE TO ANY GRANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT
UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES
ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS
FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE,
EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

            7.    REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.

            (a)   In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it
      under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan
      Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing
      or relating to any of the Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have
      occurred and be continuing, Canadian Agent may exercise all rights and
      remedies of a secured party under the PPSA or other applicable statute.
      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Canadian Grantor
      expressly agrees that in any such event Canadian Agent, without demand of
      performance or other demand, advertisement, process or notice of any kind
      (except the notice specified in SECTION 7(b) below of the time and place
      of any public or private sale) to or upon such Canadian Grantor or any
      other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices
      are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the PPSA
      and other applicable law), may:

                  (i)   immediately enter upon the premises of such Canadian
            Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without
            judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving
            such Canadian Grantor or any other Person notice and an opportunity
            for a hearing on Canadian Agent's claim or action and may demand or
            take possession of, disable, remove, collect, receive, assemble,
            process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part
            thereof, and may sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or
            options to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said
            Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or
            more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, or at any
            exchange, at such prices as it may deem appropriate, for cash or on
            credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
            Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender shall have the right upon any
            such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon
            any such private sale or sales, to purchase, for the benefit of
            Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders, the whole or any part of said
            Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which
            equity of redemption each Canadian Grantor hereby releases. Such
            sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or
            without notice. Canadian Agent shall have the right to conduct such
            sales on any Canadian Grantor's premises or elsewhere and shall have
            the right to use any Canadian Grantor's premises without charge for
            such sales at such time or times as Canadian Agent deems necessary
            or advisable;

                  (ii)  enter the premises of any Canadian Grantor and, without
            breach of the peace, until Canadian Agent completes the enforcement
            of its rights in the Collateral, take possession of such premises or
            place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such
            premises and use the same and any Canadian Grantor's Equipment for
            the purpose of collecting any of the Collateral;

                  (iii) hold, store and keep idle, or operate, lease or
            otherwise use or permit the use of, any or all of the Collateral for
            such time and on such terms as Canadian Agent may determine, and
            demand, collect and retain all earnings and

<PAGE>
                                      -13-

            other sums due or to become due from any Person in respect of any of
            the Collateral;

                  (iv)  carry on, or concur in the carrying on of, any or all of
            the business or undertaking of any Canadian Grantor and enter on,
            occupy and use (without charge by Canadian Grantor) any of the
            premises, buildings, plant and undertaking of, or occupied or used
            by, any Canadian Grantor;

                  (v)   seize, collect, receive, enforce or otherwise deal with
            any Collateral in such manner, on such terms and conditions and at
            such times as Canadian Agent deems advisable;

                  (vi)  apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the sale
            or foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral;

                  (vii) at any public sale, and to the extent permitted by law,
            at any private sale, bid for and purchase any or all of the
            Collateral offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of
            such sale, hold, retain and dispose of such Collateral without any
            further accountability to any Canadian Grantor or any other Person
            with respect to such holding, retention or disposition, except as
            required by law. In any such sale to Canadian Agent, Canadian Agent
            may, for the purpose of making payment for all or any part of the
            Collateral so purchased, use any claim for Obligations then due and
            payable to it as a credit against the purchase price;

                  (viii) at the expense of Canadian Grantors, enforce collection
            of any such Accounts, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
            payment of such Accounts, in such manner and to such extent as
            Canadian Agent deems appropriate in the circumstances;

                  (ix)  transfer any Stock forming part of the Collateral into
            the name of Canadian Agent or its nominee, with or without
            disclosing that the Stock is subject to the security interests
            arising under this Security Agreement;

                  (x)   exercise any and all rights, privileges, entitlements
            and options pertaining to any Stock forming part of the Collateral
            as if Canadian Agent were the absolute owner of such Stock;

                  (xi)  pay any liability secured by any Lien against any
            Collateral. Canadian Grantors will immediately on demand reimburse
            Canadian Agent for all such payments;

                  (xii) borrow money for the maintenance, preservation or
            protection of any Collateral or for carrying on any of the business
            or undertaking of any Canadian Grantor and grant security interests
            on any Collateral (in priority to the Liens created by this Security
            Agreement or otherwise) as security for the money

<PAGE>
                                      -14-

            so borrowed. Canadian Grantors will immediately on demand reimburse
            Canadian Agent for all such borrowings;

                  (xiii) appoint by instrument in writing one or more receivers
            or receiver-managers ("RECEIVERS") of Canadian Grantor or any or all
            of the Collateral, with such rights, powers and authority (including
            any or all of the rights, powers and authority of Canadian Agent
            under this Security Agreement) as may be provided for in the
            instrument of appointment or any supplemental instrument, and remove
            and replace any such Receiver from time to time. To the extent
            permitted by applicable law, any Receiver appointed by Canadian
            Agent will (for purposes relating to responsibility for the
            Receiver's acts or omissions) be considered to be the agent of
            Canadian Grantors and not of Canadian Agent;

                  (xiv) apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
            appointment of a Receiver of any Canadian Grantor or of any or all
            of the Collateral; or

                  (xv)  exercise any and all of its rights under any and all of
            the Collateral Documents.

            (b)   If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
      each Canadian Grantor further agrees, at Canadian Agent's request, to
      assemble the Collateral and make it available to Canadian Agent at a place
      or places designated by Canadian Agent reasonably convenient to Canadian
      Agent and such Canadian Grantor, whether at such Canadian Grantor's
      premises or elsewhere. Until Canadian Agent is able to effect a sale,
      lease, or other disposition of Collateral, Canadian Agent shall have the
      right to hold or use the Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent
      that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its
      value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Canadian Agent other
      than as set forth in SECTION 9 hereof or as otherwise set forth in the
      Loan Documents. Canadian Agent shall have no obligation to any Canadian
      Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of such Canadian Grantor as
      against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in
      the possession of Canadian Agent. Canadian Agent shall apply the net
      proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
      realization or sale to the Obligations as provided in the Credit
      Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the
      payment by Canadian Agent of any other amount required by any provision of
      law, need Canadian Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Canadian
      Grantor. Each Canadian Grantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by
      applicable law, all claims, damages, and demands against Canadian Agent or
      any Canadian Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of
      the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or
      willful misconduct of Canadian Agent or such Canadian Lender as determined
      by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Canadian Grantor agrees that
      fifteen days' prior notice by Canadian Agent of the time and place of any
      public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is
      reasonable notification of such matters. Canadian Grantors shall remain
      liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of
      the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any
      reasonable attorneys' fees

<PAGE>

                                      -15-

      or other expenses incurred by Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender to
      collect such deficiency.

            (c)   Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each
      Canadian Grantor hereby waives (to the maximum extent permitted by
      applicable law) presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind in
      connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

            (d)   To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Canadian
      Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each
      Canadian Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially
      unreasonable for Canadian Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably
      deemed significant by Canadian Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition
      or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished
      goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain
      third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
      obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or
      third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be
      collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies
      against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to
      remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise
      collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on
      Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
      collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral
      through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the
      Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons,
      whether or not in the same business as such Canadian Grantor, for
      expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such
      Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist
      in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a
      specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet
      sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
      Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match
      buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale
      rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such
      as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or
      credit enhancements to insure Canadian Agent against risks of loss,
      collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Canadian Agent a
      guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or
      (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Canadian Agent, to obtain the
      services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
      professionals to assist Canadian Agent in the collection or disposition of
      any of the Collateral. Each Canadian Grantor acknowledges that the purpose
      of this SECTION 7(d) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what
      actions or omissions by Canadian Agent would not be commercially
      unreasonable in Canadian Agent's exercise of remedies against the
      Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Canadian Agent shall not
      be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being
      indicated in this SECTION 7(d). Without limiting the generality of the
      foregoing, nothing contained in this SECTION 7(d) shall be construed to
      grant any rights to any Canadian Grantor or to impose any duties on
      Canadian Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this
      Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this SECTION
      7(d).

<PAGE>
                                      -16-

            (e)   Neither Canadian Agent nor any Canadian Lender shall be
      required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its
      respective rights or remedies against, any Canadian Grantor, any other
      obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the
      payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its respective
      rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct
      or indirect guarantee thereof. Neither Canadian Agent nor any Canadian
      Lender shall be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the
      Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any
      particular order, and all of its respective rights hereunder or under any
      other Loan Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do
      so, each Canadian Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and
      relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert
      against Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender, any valuation, stay,
      appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights
      or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing that, but
      for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made
      pursuant to the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately
      pursuant to the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or
      otherwise.

            8.    GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL.
Solely for the purpose of enabling Canadian Agent to exercise its rights and
remedies under SECTION 7 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of
SECTION 7 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process,
assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of
Collateral) at such time or times as Canadian Agent shall be lawfully entitled
to exercise such rights and remedies, each Canadian Grantor hereby grants to
Canadian Agent, for the benefit of Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders, to the
fullest extent not in violation of licenses that are permitted by the terms of
the Loan Documents to be granted by such Canadian Grantor to third parties or
obtained by such Canadian Grantor in the ordinary course of business, an
irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to such Canadian Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any
Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Canadian Grantor,
and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to
all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to
all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

            9.    LIMITATION ON AGENT'S AND LENDERS' DUTIES IN RESPECT OF
COLLATERAL. Each of Canadian Agent and each Canadian Lender shall use reasonable
care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.
Neither Canadian Agent nor any Canadian Lender shall have any other duty as to
any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of
any agent or nominee of Canadian Agent or such Canadian Lender, or any income
thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto.

            10.   TAXES AND SET-OFF BY LOAN PARTIES. All payments to be made
hereunder by any Canadian Grantor hereto will be made without set-off or
counterclaim and without deduction for any Taxes of any nature whatsoever,
except as may be otherwise provided for in the Credit Agreement. If at any time
any applicable law, regulation or international

<PAGE>
                                      -17-

agreement requires any such Canadian Grantor to make any such deduction or
withholding from any such payment, the sum due from such Canadian Grantor with
respect to such payment will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure
that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Canadian Agent
receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no
deduction or withholding been required, except as may be otherwise provided for
in the Credit Agreement.

            11.   AMALGAMATION. If a Canadian Grantor is a corporation, such
Canadian Grantor acknowledges that if it amalgamates with any other corporation
or corporations, then (i) the Collateral and the Lien created herein will extend
to and include all the property or assets of the amalgamated corporation and to
any property or assets of the amalgamated corporation thereafter owned or
acquired (ii) the term "Canadian Grantor" or any plural thereof, where used in
this Security Agreement, will extend to and include the amalgamated corporation
thereof and (iii) the term "Obligations", where used in this Security Agreement,
will extend to and include the Obligations of the amalgamated corporation of
such Canadian Grantor.

            12.   ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT/WAIVER. Each Canadian Grantor
hereto acknowledges receipt of an executed copy of this Security Agreement and,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives the right to receive a copy of
any financing statement, financing change statement or verification statement in
respect of any registered financing statement or financing change statement
prepared, registered or issued in connection with this Agreement.

            13.   FURTHER DOCUMENTATION. Each Canadian Grantor acknowledges that
this Security Agreement has been prepared based on the existing laws of the
province of Ontario and that a change in such laws, or the laws of other
jurisdictions, may require the execution and delivery of different forms of
security documentation. Accordingly, each Canadian Grantor agrees that the
Canadian Agent will have the right to require, acting reasonably, that this
Security Agreement be amended, supplemented or replaced, and that each Canadian
Grantor will immediately on request by the Canadian Agent authorize, execute and
deliver any such amendment, supplement or replacement (i) to reflect any changes
in such laws, whether arising as a result of statutory amendments, court
decisions or otherwise, (ii) to facilitate the creation and registration of
appropriate security in all appropriate jurisdictions, or (iii) without limiting
the restrictions contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, if any
Canadian Grantor merges or amalgamates with any other Person or enters into any
corporate reorganization, in each case, in order to confer on the Canadian Agent
(for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Canadian Lenders) security
interests similar to, and having the same effect as, the security interests
created by this Security Agreement.

            14.   REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or
against any Canadian Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any
Canadian Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any
creditor or creditors, or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or
any significant part of any Canadian Grantor's assets, and shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and
performance of the

<PAGE>
                                      -18-

Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or
reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of
the Obligations, whether as a "fraudulent preference," "fraudulent transfer," or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the
event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such
amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

            15.   NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is
provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration
or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the
parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or
serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Security
Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or
other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and
deemed received, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.

            16.   SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Security Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement
shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Security Agreement. This Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied
together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken
together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of Canadian Agent,
Canadian Lenders and Canadian Grantors with respect to the matters referred to
herein and therein.

            17.   NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Neither Canadian Agent nor any
Canadian Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid
unless in writing and signed by Canadian Agent, and then only to the extent
therein set forth. A waiver by Canadian Agent of any right or remedy hereunder
on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that
Canadian Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. No failure by
Canadian Agent or any Canadian Lender to exercise, nor any delay in exercising,
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
precludes any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are
cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of
any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this
Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing, duly executed by Canadian Agent and each Canadian
Grantor.

            18.   LIMITATION BY LAW. All rights, remedies and powers provided in
this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise
thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions
of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable
mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the
extent necessary so that they do not render this Security Agreement invalid,

<PAGE>
                                      -19-

unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered
or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

            19.   TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. Subject to SECTION 14
hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date.

            20.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Agreement and all
obligations of Canadian Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors
and assigns of each Canadian Grantor and shall, together with the rights and
remedies of Canadian Agent, for the benefit of Canadian Agent and Canadian
Lenders, hereunder, inure to the benefit of Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders,
all future holders of any Instrument evidencing any of the Obligations and their
respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales,
assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or
Instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest
therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to Canadian Agent, for the
benefit of Canadian Agent and Canadian Lenders, hereunder. No Canadian Grantor
may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or
obligation under this Security Agreement.

            21.   COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be authenticated in
any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and
separately constitute one and the same agreement. This Security Agreement may be
authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by
Canadian Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

            22.   GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY
OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION,
VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF CANADA. EACH
GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE COURTS LOCATED IN ONTARIO SHALL HAVE
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES AMONG
GRANTORS, AGENT AND LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR TO ANY
MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT
AGENT, LENDERS AND GRANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY
HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF ONTARIO; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT
NOTHING IN THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT
FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO
REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO
ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOUR OF AGENT. EACH GRANTOR
EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR
SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
THAT IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR
FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND
<PAGE>

                                      -20-

HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED
APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH
GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER
PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH
SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED
MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH ON ANNEX I TO THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF
SUCH GRANTOR'S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE MAIL,
PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

            23.   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION
WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED
BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES HERETO WISH APPLICABLE
PROVINCIAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES HERETO
DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE
APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE
BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY
DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG AGENT, LENDERS
AND GRANTORS ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT
OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR
THERETO.

            24.   SECTION TITLES. The Section titles contained in this Security
Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind
whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

            25.   NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have participated
jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement. In the event
an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any party
by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.

            26.   ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each of the parties hereto represents to
each other party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement (and,
specifically, the provisions of SECTIONS 22 and 23) with its counsel.

            27.   BENEFIT OF LENDERS. All Liens granted or contemplated hereby
shall be for the benefit of Canadian Agent, individually, and Canadian Lenders,
and all proceeds or payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith
shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement.

<PAGE>
                                      -21-

            28.   INCONSISTENCIES. To the extent of any inconsistencies between
this Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, the provisions of the Pledge
Agreement shall control as to all matters with respect to the Pledged Collateral
(as defined therein).

            29.   NO DELAY IN ATTACHMENT. Each Canadian Grantor confirms and
acknowledges that (i) value has been given, (ii) it has rights in its Collateral
(other than its after-acquired Collateral) and (iii) it has not agreed to
postpone the time of attachment of the security interest created by this
Security Agreement.

Security Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer
as of the date first set forth above.

matters of construction defined or established in ANNEX A to the Credit

            Subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, Canadian Grantor hereby

as Attorney may deem appropriate; (e) file or prosecute any claim, litigation,
suit or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction or before any
arbitrator, or take any other action otherwise deemed appropriate by Attorney
