                                      -18-

<PAGE>

three (3%) percent per annum on such daily outstanding balance for: (i) the
period from and after the date of maturity or termination hereof until Lender
has received full and final payment of all Revolving Loans, and cash collateral
has been posted in the full amount of any then outstanding Letter of Credit
Accommodations (notwithstanding entry of a judgment against Borrower) and (ii)
the period from and after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default for
so long as such Event of Default is continuing as determined by Lender. Such
letter of credit fee shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty
five (365) day year and actual days elapsed and the obligation of Borrower to
pay such fee shall survive the maturity or termination of this Agreement.

         (c)      Letter of Credit Accommodations are not available unless, on
the date of the proposed issuance thereof, the Revolving Loans available to
Borrower (subject to Section 2.1(c)) are equal to, or greater than one hundred
(100%) percent of the face amount of the Letter of Credit Accommodation together
with all other commitments and obligations made or incurred by Lender with
respect thereto, including, without limitation, bank fees.

         (d)      Except in Lender's discretion, the amount of all outstanding
Letter of Credit Accommodations and all other commitments and obligations made
or incurred by Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation,
bank fees, shall not at any time exceed $10,000,000. At any time an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, upon Lender's request,
Borrower will either furnish cash collateral to secure the reimbursement
obligations to the issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations
or furnish cash collateral to Lender for the Letter of Credit Accommodations,
and in either case, the Revolving Loans otherwise available to Borrower shall
not be reduced as provided in Section 2.2(c) to the extent of such cash
collateral.

         (e)      Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
which Lender may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit
Accommodations and any documents, drafts or acceptances relating thereto,
including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
and expenses due to any action taken by any issuer or correspondent with respect
to any Letter of Credit Accommodation. Borrower assumes all risks with respect
to the acts or omissions of the drawer under or beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit Accommodation and for such purposes the drawer or beneficiary shall be
deemed Borrower's agent. Borrower assumes all risks for, and agrees to pay, all
foreign, federal, provincial and local taxes, duties and levies relating to any
goods subject to any Letter of Credit Accommodations or any documents, drafts or
acceptances thereunder. Borrower hereby releases and holds Lender harmless from
and against any acts, waivers, errors, delays or omissions, whether caused by
Borrower, by any issuer or correspondent or otherwise, other than acts, waivers,
errors, delays or omissions caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct
of Lender, with respect to or relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation.
The provisions of this Section 2.2(e) shall survive the payment of Obligations
and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

         (f)      Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant
Borrower any right or authority to pledge the credit of Lender in any manner.
Lender shall have no liability of any kind with respect to any Letter of Credit
Accommodation provided by an issuer other than Lender unless Lender has duly
executed and delivered to such issuer the application or a

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

guarantee or indemnification in writing with respect to such Letter of Credit
Accommodation. Except as a result of Lender's own gross negligence or wilful
misconduct, Borrower shall be bound by any interpretation made by Lender, or any
other issuer or correspondent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit
Accommodation or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder,
notwithstanding that such interpretation may be inconsistent with any
instructions of Borrower. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred
and is continuing, Lender, in its own name or in Borrower's name, shall have the
sole and exclusive right and authority to, and Borrower shall not: (i) approve
or resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents, (ii) give any
instructions as to acceptance or rejection of any documents or goods, or (iii)
execute any and all applications for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities
or delivery orders. At all times other than when an Event of Default exists or
has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be permitted, with the prior
written consent of Lender to: (i) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time
of payment for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or
documents, and (ii) to agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions,
modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any
of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or documents, drafts or
acceptances thereunder or any letters of credit included in the Collateral.

         (g)      Any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or
undertaken by Borrower to any issuer or correspondent in any application for any
Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement in favour of any issuer
or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed
to have been granted or undertaken by Borrower to Lender. Any duties or
obligations undertaken by Lender to any issuer or correspondent in any
application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement by
Lender in favour of any issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit
Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been undertaken by Lender to Borrower.

SECTION 3. INTEREST AND FEES

3.1               INTEREST

         (a)      Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on the outstanding
principal amount of the non-contingent Obligations at the applicable Interest
Rate. Subject to Section 3.2(d) hereof, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
funds under the Revolving Loans by way of Canadian Prime Rate Loans, US Prime
Rate Loans and Libor Rate Loans.

         (b)      For Canadian Prime Rate Loans and US Prime Rate Loans,
interest shall be payable by Borrower to Lender monthly in arrears not later
than the first Business Day of each calendar month and shall be calculated on
the basis of a three hundred sixty five (365) day year and actual days elapsed
in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans and a three hundred and sixty (360) day
year and actual days elapsed in the case of US Prime Rate Loans, as applicable.
The interest rate shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase
or decrease in the Canadian Prime Rate or US Prime Rate, as applicable,
effective on the first day of the month after any change in such rates is
announced. The increase or decrease shall be based on the Canadian Prime Rate or
US Prime Rate, as applicable, in effect on the last day of the month in which
any such change occurs. All interest accruing hereunder on and after an Event of

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

Default or maturity or termination hereof shall be payable on demand. In no
event shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrower to Lender exceed
the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation,
and if any part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such
law or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform
thereto.

         (c)      For purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada),
where interest is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based upon: (i) a three
hundred sixty five (365) day year (the "CANADIAN FIRST RATE"), it is hereby
agreed that the rate or percentage of interest on a yearly basis is equivalent
to such Canadian First Rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year
divided by 365; or (ii) a three hundred and sixty (360) day year (the "US FIRST
RATE"), it is hereby agreed that the rate or percentage of interest on a yearly
basis is equivalent to such US First Rate multiplied by the actual number of
days in the year divided by 360.

         (d)      Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3 or any other
provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate "interest" (as that
term is defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) exceed the
effective annual rate of interest on the "credit advanced" (as defined therein)
lawfully permitted under Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). The
effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with
generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the
Revolving Loan, and in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the
Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Lender will be conclusive for the
purposes of such determination.

         (e)      A certificate of an authorized signing officer of Lender as to
each amount and/or each rate of interest payable hereunder from time to time
shall be conclusive evidence of such amount and of such rate, absent manifest
error.

         (f)      For greater certainty, whenever any amount is payable under
any Financing Agreement by Borrower as interest or as a fee which requires the
calculation of an amount using a percentage per annum, each party to this
Agreement acknowledges and agrees that such amount shall be calculated as of the
date payment is due without application of the "deemed reinvestment principle"
or the "effective yield method". As an example, when interest is calculated and
payable monthly, the rate of interest payable per month is 1/12 of the stated
rate of interest per annum.

3.2               LIBOR RATE

         (a)      Libor Rate Loans must have a term of one (1) month, two (2)
months or three (3) months, after Borrower delivering to Lender a drawdown
notice no later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) three (3) Business Days prior to
the requested drawdown date, provided however, Borrower may repay a Libor Rate
Loan only on the last day of the applicable Libor Rate Interest Period subject
to the occurrence of an Event of Default or event which, with the passage of
time or giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

         (b)      Subject to Section 3.2(d), at any time prior to the
termination, maturity or the occurrence of an Event of Default or event which,
with the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event
of Default, Borrower may, upon delivering to Lender a

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

conversion notice no later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) three (3) Business
Days prior to the requested conversion date, convert any Canadian Prime Rate
Loan, US Prime Rate Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation into a Libor Rate
Loan or vice versa, as the case may be, provided that:

                  (i)      a Libor Rate Loan may be converted only on the last
                           day of the Libor Rate Interest Period applicable to
                           that Libor Rate Loan; and

                  (ii)     on the conversion date there exists no Event of
                           Default or event which, with the passage of time or
                           giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event
                           of Default.

If on the expiry of a Libor Rate Interest Period an Event of Default or event
which, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute an
Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, the relevant Libor Rate
Loan shall be automatically converted into a US Prime Rate Loan.

         (c)      Borrower may, during the term of this Agreement, rollover all
or any portion of a Libor Rate Loan for an additional Libor Rate Interest Period
subsequent to the initial or any subsequent Libor Rate Interest Period, upon
delivering to Lender a rollover notice no later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time)
three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the Libor Rate Interest Period,
any such rollover to have a term of not less than one (1) month and not more
than three (3) months. Immediately prior to the commencement of any subsequent
Libor Rate Interest Period, should an Event of Default or event which, with the
passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of
Default, have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be deemed to have
converted the Libor Rate Loan to a US Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the
Libor Rate Interest Period applicable thereto, unless Lender, in its sole
discretion, otherwise permits. In the event a rollover notice in respect of an
existing Libor Rate Loan is not given pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) or a
conversion notice in respect of such existing Libor Rate Loan is not given
pursuant to Section 3.2(b), any such Libor Rate Loan shall be converted to a US
Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the Libor Rate Interest Period applicable to
such existing Libor Rate Loan. The rollover of a Libor Rate Loan to another
Libor Rate Loan shall not constitute a repayment or prepayment hereunder.

         (d)      If Borrower elects to borrow by way of a Libor Rate Loan or
continue a Libor Rate Loan or elects to convert a Revolving Loan (other than a
Libor Rate Loan) into a Libor Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.2(b) or elects to
rollover a Libor Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.2(c), Borrower shall select, in
the drawdown notice, conversion notice or rollover notice (as the case may be)
delivered in connection therewith, the Libor Rate Interest Period applicable to
such Libor Rate Loan. Borrower shall thereafter select and notify Lender of each
new Libor Rate Interest Period applicable to such Libor Rate Loan in accordance
with the foregoing notice requirements. If Borrower fails to deliver to Lender a
drawdown notice, conversion notice or a rollover notice in respect of a Libor
Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiry of the Libor Rate
Interest Period applicable to such Libor Rate Loan, such Libor Rate Loan shall,
on the last day of the Libor Rate Interest Period applicable thereto, be deemed
to have been converted into a US Prime Rate Loan, pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

         (e)      Borrower agrees that:

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

                  (i)      the difference between the amount of a Revolving Loan
                           requested by Borrower by way of Libor Rate Loan and
                           the actual proceeds of the Libor Rate Loan;

                  (ii)     the difference between the actual proceeds of a Libor
                           Rate Loan and the amount required to pay a Libor Rate
                           Loan at the end of the Libor Rate Interest Period, if
                           a Libor Rate Loan is being rolled over; and

                  (iii)    the difference between the actual proceeds of a Libor
                           Rate Loan and the amount required to repay any
                           Revolving Loan which is being converted to a Libor
                           Rate Loan,

shall be funded by Borrower from its own resources, by 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time)
on the day of the Revolving Loan or may be advanced as a US Prime Rate Loan if
Borrower is otherwise entitled to same.

3.3               SERVICING FEE

                  Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly a servicing fee in an
amount equal to $3,000 in respect of Lender's services for each month (or part
thereof) while this Agreement remains in effect and for so long thereafter as
any of the non-contingent Obligations (other than Letter of Credit
Accommodations) are outstanding, which fee shall be fully earned as of and
payable in advance on the date hereof and on the first day of each month
hereafter.

3.4               UNUSED LINE FEE

                  Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly an unused line fee equal
at a rate equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum calculated upon
the amount by which the then applicable Maximum Credit exceeds the average daily
principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit
Accommodations and Libor Rate Loans during the immediately preceding month (or
part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as
any of the Obligations are outstanding, which fee shall be payable on the first
day of each month in arrears. For further clarity, no Obligations will be
outstanding once this Agreement has been terminated and all Obligations have
been fully and indefeasibly satisfied and cash collateral has been posted in the
full amount then outstanding of any Letter of Credit Accommodations, if any.

3.5               COMMITMENT FEE

                  Borrower has paid to Lender a commitment fee in the amount of
$150,000, which was fully earned by Lender and paid by Borrower on the date of
the execution of the Commitment Letter.

SECTION 5. INTENTIONALLY DELETED

SECTION 6. COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION

6.1               BORROWER'S LOAN ACCOUNT

                  Lender shall maintain one or more loan account(s) on its books
in which shall be recorded: (a) all Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit
Accommodations and other Obligations and the Collateral; (b) all payments made

provided in this Agreement, including fees, charges, costs, expenses and
interest. All entries in the loan account(s) shall be made in accordance with
Lender's customary practices as in effect from time to time.

6.2               STATEMENTS

                  Lender shall render to Borrower each month a statement setting

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

6.3               COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS

         (a)      Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its expense, blocked
accounts (the "BLOCKED ACCOUNTS"), as Lender may specify, and Lender may
establish and maintain bank accounts of Lender in Canada ("PAYMENT ACCOUNTS") in
each case with such banks as are acceptable to Lender into which Borrower shall,
in accordance with Lender's instructions, promptly deposit and direct its
account debtors that remit payments by electronic funds transfers to directly
remit, all payments on Accounts and all payments constituting proceeds of
Inventory or other Collateral, with the exception of payments received in
connection with Excluded Accounts, in the identical form in which such payments
are made, whether by cash, cheque or other manner. The banks at which the
Blocked Accounts are established shall enter into an agreement, in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, providing that all items received or deposited
in the Blocked Accounts are subject to the first priority security interest of
Lender, that the depository bank has no lien upon, or right to set-off against
the Blocked Accounts, the items received for deposit therein, or the funds from
time to time on deposit therein and that upon receipt of Lender's notice that a
Cash Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing, the depository bank will,
without further inquiry, wire, or otherwise transfer, in immediately available
funds, on a daily basis, all funds received or deposited into the Blocked
Accounts to the Payment Accounts or such other bank account of Lender as Lender
may from time to time designate for such purpose. Borrower agrees that all
payments made to such Blocked Accounts shall be subject to the first priority
security interest of Lender and that all payments made, in accordance with this
Section, to such Payment Accounts or other funds received and collected by
Lender, whether on the Accounts or as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral
or otherwise shall be the property of Lender to the extent of any outstanding
Obligations.

         (b)      Such payments made to the Payment Account (conditional upon
final collection which may be subject to fees, expenses and charges resulting
from things such as the dishonour of cheques), will be applied, for all
purposes, including for purposes of calculating the amount of the Revolving
Loans available to Borrower and of calculating interest on the Obligations, to
the Obligations on the same Business Day of receipt by Lender of immediately
available funds in the Payment Account provided such payments and notice thereof
are received in accordance with Lender's usual and customary practices as in
effect from time to time and within sufficient time to credit Borrower's loan
account on such day, and if not, then on the next Business Day. If Lender
receives funds in a Payment Account at any time at which no Obligations are
outstanding or in excess of then outstanding Obligations, Lender shall hold such
funds in trust for Borrower and shall, by no later than the Business Day
following receipt by Lender of: (i) immediately available funds in the Payment

         (c)      Borrower and all of its affiliates, Subsidiaries,

Collateral, with the exception of Excluded Accounts, which come into their
possession or under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall
deposit or cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the
same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Lender. Borrower agrees to
reimburse Lender on demand for any amounts owed or paid by Lender to any bank at
which a Blocked Account or Payment Account is established or any other bank or
person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts or the
Payment Accounts arising out of Lender's required payments to or indemnification
of such bank or person. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for such
amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination or
non-renewal of this Agreement.

6.4               PAYMENTS

                  All Obligations shall be payable to the Payment Account as
provided in Section 6.3 or such other place in Canada as Lender may designate
from time to time. Lender may, after the occurrence and continuance of an Event
of Default, apply payments received or collected from Borrower or for the
account of Borrower (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of
realization upon any Collateral) to such of the Obligations, whether or not then
due, in such order and manner as Lender determines. Payments and collections
received in any currency other than Canadian Dollars or US Dollars will be
accepted and/or applied at the sole discretion of Lender. At Lender's option,
all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in
the Financing Agreements may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of
Borrower. Borrower shall make all payments to Lender on the Obligations free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any
set-off, counterclaim, defence, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees,
deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind. If after
receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of,
any of the Obligations, Lender is required to surrender or return such payment
or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be
satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds
had not been received by Lender. Borrower shall be liable to pay to Lender, and
does hereby indemnify and hold Lender harmless for the amount of any payments or
proceeds surrendered or returned. Section 6.4 shall remain effective
notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Lender in reliance
upon such payment or proceeds. The indemnification in the second preceding
sentence shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or
non-renewal of this Agreement.

6.5               AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE REVOLVING LOANS AND LETTER OF CREDIT
                  ACCOMMODATIONS

                  Lender is authorized to make the Revolving Loans and provide
the Letter of Credit Accommodations based upon written instructions received
from the persons authorized by Borrower as notified in writing by Borrower to
Lender from time to time or, at the discretion of Lender, if such Revolving
Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations. All requests for Revolving Loans
or Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder shall specify the date on which the
requested advance is to be made or Letter of Credit Accommodations established
(which day shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Loan.

with the instructions of Borrower or in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.

6.6               USE OF PROCEEDS

                  Borrower shall use the initial proceeds of the Revolving Loans
provided by Lender to Borrower hereunder for costs, expenses and fees in
connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the
Financing Agreements and any remaining proceeds and all other Revolving Loans

7.7               RIGHT TO CURE

                  Lender may, at any time or times that an Event of Default
exists or has occurred and is continuing, at its option: (a) cure any default by
Borrower under any agreement with a third party or pay or bond on appeal any
judgment entered against Borrower; (b) discharge taxes, liens, security
interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or existing with respect
to the Collateral; and (c) pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act

protect, insure or maintain the Collateral and the rights of Lender with respect
thereto. Lender may add any amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge
Borrower's account therefor, such amounts to be repayable by Borrower on demand.
Lender shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and
shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of
Borrower. Any payment made or other action taken by Lender under this Section
shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder
and to proceed accordingly.

7.8               ACCESS TO PREMISES

         (a)      From time to time as requested by Lender, at the cost and
expense of Borrower: (i) Lender or its designee shall have complete access to
all of Borrower's premises during normal business hours and after reasonable
notice to Borrower, or at any time and without notice to Borrower if an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, for the purposes of
inspecting, verifying and auditing the Collateral and all of Borrower's books
and records, including, without limitation, the Records; and (ii) Borrower shall
promptly furnish to Lender such copies of such books and records or extracts
therefrom as Lender may request, and (iii) use during normal business hours such

and is continuing for the collection of Accounts and realization of other
Collateral.

         (b)      Provided that an Event of Default has not occurred and is
continuing, Lender shall use all reasonable efforts to keep confidential, in
accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information
and safe and sound lending practices, any non-public information made available
by Borrower to Lender pursuant to Section 7.8(a), and all copies thereof,
provided that, nothing in this Section 7.8(b) shall limit the disclosure of any
such information: (i) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation,
subpoena or court order; (ii) to bank examiners and other regulators, auditors
and/or accountants; (iii) in connection with any litigation to which Lender is a
party; (iv) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or
participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or
participant), as applicable, shall have first agreed in writing to treat such
information as confidential in accordance with this Section 7.8(b); and (v) to
counsel for Lender or any participant or assignee (or prospective participant or
assignee). In no event shall this Section 7.8(b), or any other provision of this
Agreement or any applicable law be deemed to: (i) apply to or restrict

third party without breach by Lender of this Section 7.8(b) or otherwise become
generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in
violation hereof; (ii) apply to or restrict disclosure of information that was

SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender the
following (which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement),
the truth and accuracy of which are a continuing condition of the making of
Revolving Loans and providing Letter of Credit Accommodations by Lender to
Borrower:

8.1               CORPORATE EXISTENCE, POWER AND AUTHORITY; SUBSIDIARIES

                  Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and duly organized under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and is
duly qualified or registered as a foreign or extra-provincial corporation in all
provinces, states or other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the
business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification
necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify
would not have a material adverse effect on Borrower's financial condition,
results of operation or business or the rights of Lender in or to any of the
Collateral. The execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Agreements
and the transactions contemplated thereunder are all within Borrower's corporate
powers, have been duly authorized and are not in contravention of law or the
terms of Borrower's certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other
organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to
which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or its property are bound. The
Financing Agreements constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. Borrower does not have
any Subsidiaries except as set forth on the Information Certificate.

8.2               FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

                  All financial statements relating to Borrower which have been
or may hereafter be delivered by Borrower to Lender have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition and the results
of operation of Borrower as at the dates and for the periods set forth therein.
Except as disclosed in any interim financial statements furnished by Borrower to
Lender prior to the date of this Agreement, there has been no material adverse
change in the assets, liabilities, properties and condition, financial or
otherwise, of Borrower, since the date of the most recent audited financial
statements furnished by Borrower to Lender prior to the date of this Agreement.

8.3               CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE; COLLATERAL LOCATIONS

                  The chief executive office of Borrower and Borrower's Records
concerning Accounts are located only at the address set forth below and its only
other places of business and the only other locations of Collateral, if any, are
the addresses set forth in the Information Certificate, subject to the right of
Borrower to establish new locations in accordance with Section 9.2 below and to
move Inventory and Equipment as permitted in Sections 7.3 and 7.4 respectively.
The Information Certificate correctly identifies any of such locations which are
not

                                      -36-

<PAGE>

owned by Borrower and sets forth the owners and/or operators thereof and to the
best of Borrower's knowledge, the holders of any mortgages on such locations.

8.4               PRIORITY OF LIENS; TITLE TO PROPERTIES

                  The security interests and liens granted to Lender under the
Financing Agreements constitute, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, valid and
perfected first priority liens and security interests in and upon the Collateral
subject only to the liens indicated on Schedule 8.4 hereto and the other liens
permitted under Section 9.8 hereof. Borrower has good and marketable title to
all of its properties and assets subject to no liens, mortgages, pledges,
security interests, hypothecs, encumbrances or charges of any kind, except those
granted to Lender and such others as are specifically listed on Schedule 8.4
hereto or permitted under Section 9.8 hereof.

8.5               TAX RETURNS

                  Borrower has filed, or caused to be filed, in a timely manner
(with extensions) all tax returns, reports and declarations which are required
to be filed by it (except those in respect of taxes the calculation or payment
of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently
pursued and available to Borrower and except for those returns for those
jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition of Borrower). All information in such tax returns,
reports and declarations is complete and accurate in all material respects.
Borrower has paid or caused to be paid all taxes due and payable or claimed due
and payable in any assessment received by it, except taxes the validity of which
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued
and available to Borrower and with respect to which adequate reserves have been
set aside on its books. Adequate provision has been made for the payment of all
accrued and unpaid federal, provincial, municipal, local, foreign and other
taxes whether or not yet due and payable and whether or not disputed.

8.6               LITIGATION

                  Except as set forth on the Information Certificate, there is
no present investigation by any governmental agency pending, or to the best of
Borrower's knowledge threatened, against or affecting Borrower, its assets or
business and there is no action, suit, proceeding or claim by any Person
pending, or to the best of Borrower's knowledge threatened, against Borrower or
its assets or goodwill, or against or affecting any transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, which in each of the foregoing cases, can reasonably be expected
to result in any material adverse change in the assets or business of Borrower
or would impair the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under any of
the Financing Agreements to which it is a party or of Lender to enforce any
Obligations or realize upon any Collateral.

8.7               COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER AGREEMENTS AND APPLICABLE LAWS

                  Borrower is not in default in any material respect under, or
in violation in any material respect of any of the material terms of, any
agreement, contract, instrument, lease or other commitment to which it is a
party or by which it or any of its assets are bound, including, without
limitation, the Capital Leases and the Operating Leases and Borrower is in
compliance

                                      -37-

<PAGE>

in all material respects with all applicable provisions of laws, rules,
regulations, licenses, permits, approvals and orders of any foreign, federal,
provincial or local governmental authority.

8.8               BANK ACCOUNTS

                  All of the deposit accounts, investment accounts or other
accounts in the name of or used by Borrower maintained at any bank or other
financial institution are set forth on Schedule 8.8 hereto, subject to the right
of Borrower to establish new accounts in accordance with Section 9.17 below.

8.9               ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF INFORMATION

                  All information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower in
writing to Lender in connection with any of the Financing Agreements or any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including all information on the
Information Certificate is true and correct in all material respects on the date
as of which such information is dated or certified and does not omit any
material fact necessary in order to make such information not misleading, in
addition, the Information Certificate attaches the form(s) of the agreements
used for all the Capital Leases and Operating Leases, together with a breakdown
of which agreements constitute Capital Leases and which agreements constitute
Operating Leases, together with any and all exceptions thereto, have been
delivered to Lender for review. The Borrower represents and warrants that none
of the Capital Leases or Operating Leases include contractual provisions
restricting the assignability thereof, to Lender or to an assignee of the Lender
upon exercise of the Financing Agreements, with the exception of those
restrictive provisions set out on Schedule 8.9 hereof. No event or circumstance
has occurred which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse affect on the business or assets of Borrower, which has not been fully
and accurately disclosed to Lender in writing.

8.10              STATUS OF PENSION PLANS

                  To the best knowledge of Borrower:

         (a)      The Pension Plans are duly registered under all applicable

nor any grounds for believing, that any of the Pension Plans is the subject of

additional borrowing or other credit accommodation hereunder and shall be
conclusively presumed to have been relied on by Lender regardless of any
investigation made or information possessed by Lender. The representations and

Borrower in order to avoid any material non-compliance, with any Environmental
Law, Borrower shall, at Lender's request and Borrower's expense: (i) cause an
independent environmental engineer acceptable to Lender to conduct such tests of
the site where Borrower's non-compliance or alleged non-compliance with such

survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of
this Agreement.

9.5               INSURANCE

the same or similar businesses and similarly situated. Said policies of
insurance shall be satisfactory to Lender, acting in good faith, as to form,
amount and insurer. Borrower shall furnish certificates, policies or
endorsements to Lender as Lender shall require as proof of such insurance, and,
if Borrower fails to do so Lender is authorized, but not required, to obtain
such insurance at the expense of Borrower. All policies shall provide for at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of any cancellation or
reduction of coverage and that Lender may act as attorney for Borrower in
obtaining, and at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is

                           evidence, satisfactory to Lender in its discretion,

                           date Borrower receives such proceeds. Borrower shall
                           forthwith apply such proceeds to the costs of
                           repairing and/or replacing the Collateral within such
                           one hundred and eighty (180) day period otherwise
                           Borrower shall remit all such proceeds directly into
                           the Payment Account and dealt with in accordance with
                           Section 6.3 hereof; or

                  (iii)    which are greater than $10,000,000 per occurrence,
                           shall be payable directly to Lender and in the event
                           that such Collateral can be repaired and/or replaced

9.22              FURTHER ASSURANCES

                  At the request of Lender at any time and from time to time,
Borrower shall, at its expense, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly
executed and delivered, such further agreements, documents and instruments, and
do or cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary to evidence,
perfect, maintain and enforce the security interests and the priority thereof in

the Financing Agreements. Lender may at any time and from time to time request a
certificate from an officer of Borrower representing that all conditions
precedent to the making of Revolving Loans and providing Letter of Credit

provide any further Letter of Credit Accommodations until Lender has received
such certificate and, in addition, Lender has determined that such conditions
are satisfied. Where permitted by law, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to
execute and file one or more PPSA, UCC or other financing statements or notices
signed only by Lender or Lender's representative.

10.2              REMEDIES

         (a)      At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, Lender shall have all rights and remedies provided in the Financing
Agreements, the PPSA, UCC and other applicable law, all of which rights and
remedies may be exercised without notice to or consent by Borrower or any
Obligor, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or
required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Lender,
under any of the Financing Agreements, the PPSA, UCC or other applicable law,
are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in Lender's discretion,
alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and
shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for
an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by Borrower of any of
the Financing Agreements. Lender may, at any time or times, proceed directly
against Borrower or any Obligor to collect the Obligations without prior
recourse to the Collateral.

         (b)      Without limiting the foregoing and subject to Section 10.2(c)
hereof, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, Lender may, in its discretion and without limitation: (i) accelerate
the payment of all outstanding Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof
to Lender (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of

                                      -54-

<PAGE>

Default described in Sections 10.1(f) and 10.1(g), all outstanding Obligations
shall automatically become immediately due and payable); (ii) with or without
judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on
or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the
Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any
portion of the Collateral and carry on the business of Borrower; (iii) require
Borrower, at Borrower's expense, to assemble and make available to Lender any
part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Lender; (iv)
collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, set-off and realize upon any and all
Collateral; (v) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in
which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure
or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose; (vi) sell, lease,
transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral
(including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales
at any exchange, broker's board, at any office of Lender or elsewhere) at such
prices or terms as Lender may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for
future delivery, with the Lender having the right to purchase the whole or any
part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free
from any right or equity of redemption of Borrower, which right or equity of
redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Borrower; (vii) without
limiting clause (vi), grant a general, special or other license in respect of
any aspect of the Collateral on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis to any
person throughout the world or any part of it and on such terms and on such
conditions as Lender may consider appropriate; (viii) enforce against any
licensee or other person all rights and remedies of the Borrower with respect to
all or any part of the Collateral, and take or refrain from taking any action
that the Borrower might take with respect to any of those rights and remedies,
and for this purpose Lender shall have the exclusive right to enforce or refrain
from enforcing those rights and remedies, and may in the name of the Borrower
and at its expense retain and instruct counsel and initiate any court or other
proceeding that Lender considers necessary or expedient; (ix) take any step
necessary to preserve, maintain or insure the whole or any part of the
Collateral or to realize upon any of it put it in vendable condition, and any
amount paid as a result of any taking any such steps shall be a cost the payment
of which is secured by this Agreement; (x) borrow money and use the Collateral
directly or indirectly in carrying on Borrower's business or as security for
loans or advances for any such purposes; (xi) require Borrower to immediately
begin using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents and to
provide all notices to any Client, as applicable, which may be required to
permit Lender to assign the Eligible Capital Leases and Eligible Operating
Leases; (xii) grant extensions of time and other indulgences, take and give up
security, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges, and otherwise deal
with Borrower, debtors of Borrower, sureties and others as Lender may see fit
without prejudice to the liability of Borrower or Lender's right to hold and
realize the security interest created under any Financing Agreement; and/or
(xiii) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by
Lender upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be
reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by
Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, five (5) days
prior notice by Lender to Borrower designating the time and place of any public
sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of
Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and
Borrower waives any other notice. In the event Lender institutes an action to
recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment
remedy, Borrower waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be
required.

                                    Lender, a royalty-free, freely assignable
                                    perpetual license to use the IP Collateral
                                    required to enable Lender to perform the
                                    obligations of the Borrower under the
                                    Capital Leases and the Operating Leases; and

                           (iv)     (D) upon the commencement of the IP Grace

                                    and/or otherwise dispose of the Collateral,
                                    other than the IP Collateral, to any
                                    transferee or assignee,

                           (v)      subsequent to the expiry of the IP Grace

                                    the IP Collateral up to a maximum amount
                                    equal to the outstanding Obligations
                                    together with all costs, charges and
                                    expenses incurred by Lender as a result of

responsibility for his acts, be deemed to be the agent of Borrower and not of
Lender, and Lender shall not in any way be responsible for any misconduct,
negligence or non-feasance of such Receiver, his employees or agents. Except as
otherwise directed by Lender, all money received by such Receiver shall be
received in trust for and paid to Lender.

Collateral designated by Lender, concerning any IP Collateral including without
limitation, any confidential information or trade secrets of Borrower. For
greater certainty, the parties agree that unless such confidential information
or trade secrets form part of the Collateral being realized upon, such
confidential information or trade secrets shall be provided for use only subject
to any agreement regarding the confidentiality thereof or for the protection
thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower.

         (h)      Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, charges and expenses
incurred by Lender or any Receiver or any nominee or agent of Lender, whether
directly or for services rendered (including, without limitation, solicitor's
costs on a solicitor and his own client basis, auditor's costs, other legal
expenses and Receiver remuneration) in enforcing any Financing Agreement and in
enforcing or collecting Obligations and all such expenses together with any
money owing as a result of any borrowing permitted hereby shall be a charge on
the proceeds of realization and shall be secured hereby.

SECTION 11. JURY TRIAL WAIVER; OTHER WAIVERS AND CONSENTS; GOVERNING LAW

11.1              GOVERNING LAW; CHOICE OF FORUM; SERVICE OF PROCESS; JURY TRIAL
                  WAIVER

         (a)      The validity, interpretation and enforcement of the Financing
Agreements and any dispute arising out of the relationship between the parties
hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the
laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable
therein.

         (b)      Borrower and Lender irrevocably consent and submit to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario) and waive
any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action
instituted therein arising under any of the Financing Agreements or in any way
connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in
respect of any of the Financing Agreements or the transactions related hereto or
thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in
contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to
any such matters shall be heard only in the courts described above (except that
Lender shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower
or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Lender deems
necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise
enforce its rights against Borrower or its property).

         (c)      To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives
personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such
service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested)
directed to its address set forth on the signature pages hereof and

                                      -57-

<PAGE>

service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days after the same
shall have been so deposited in the Canadian mails, or, at Lender's option, by
service upon Borrower in any other manner provided under the rules of any such
courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service, Borrower shall appear in
answer to such process, failing which Borrower shall be deemed in default and
judgment may be entered by Lender against Borrower for the amount of the claim
and other relief requested.

         (d)      BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER ANY OF
THE FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF ANY OF THE
FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE
WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY
OR OTHERWISE. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT
A JURY AND THAT BORROWER OR LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF
THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES
HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

         (e)      Lender shall not have any liability to Borrower (whether in
tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrower in
connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or
relationships contemplated by any Financing Agreement, or any act, omission or
event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and
non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Lender, that the losses were
the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or wilful
misconduct.

         (f)      Borrower hereby expressly waives all rights of notice and
hearing of any kind prior to the exercise of rights by Lender from and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing to repossess the Collateral
with judicial process or to replevy, attach or levy upon the Collateral or other
security for the Obligations. Borrower waives the posting of any bond otherwise
required of Lender in connection with any judicial process or proceeding to
obtain possession of, replevy, attach or levy upon the Collateral or other
security for the Obligations, to enforce any judgment or other court order
entered in favour of Lender, or to enforce by specific performance, temporary
restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or any other Financing
Agreement.

11.2              WAIVER OF NOTICES

                  Borrower hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest
and notice of protest and notice of dishonour with respect to any and all
instruments and commercial paper, included in or evidencing any of the
Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other demands and notices of any
kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral and
this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice to
or demand on Borrower which Lender may elect to give shall entitle Borrower to
any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.

                                      -58-

11.3              AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

                  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be
amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of conduct, but only
by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of Lender, and as to
amendments, as also signed by an authorized officer of Borrower. Lender shall
not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or
impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver
shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Lender. Any such
waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A
waiver by Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not
be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which
Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or
otherwise.

11.4              WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIM

                  Borrower waives all rights to interpose any claims,
deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other than compulsory
counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the
Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto
or thereto.

11.5              INDEMNIFICATION

                  Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender, and its directors,
agents, employees and counsel, harmless from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation,
claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related to the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of
any Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or transaction
related or attendant thereto, including, without limitation, amounts paid in
settlement, court costs, and the fees and expenses of counsel. Such
indemnification shall not apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
or expenses resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Lender
and/or its employees, officers, directors and authorized agents as determined
pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth
in this Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public
policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay
under applicable law to Lender in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this
Section. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations
and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

SECTION 12. TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS

12.1              TERM

         (a)      The Financing Agreements shall become effective as of the date
set forth on the first page hereof and shall continue in full force and effect
for a term ending on the earlier of: (i) the date which is three (3) years from
the date hereof (the "RENEWAL DATE"), and from year to year thereafter, unless
sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, that, each of Lender

                                      -59-

<PAGE>

and Borrower may, provided mutually agreed, extend the original Renewal Date to
the date three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the Renewal Date by giving the
other party, as applicable, notice at least sixty (60) days prior to the Renewal
Date and in the event such option to extend the original Renewal Date to the
date three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the original Renewal Date is
exercised by Lender or Borrower, Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon the date
such option is exercised, a fully earned additional commitment fee in the amount
of $50,000.00. Lender or Borrower may terminate the Financing Agreements
effective on the Renewal Date or on the anniversary of the Renewal Date in any
year by giving to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior written notice;
provided, that, all Financing Agreements must be terminated simultaneously. Upon
the effective date of termination or non-renewal of the Financing Agreements,
Borrower shall pay to Lender, in full, all outstanding and unpaid Obligations
and shall furnish cash collateral to Lender in such amounts as Lender determines
are reasonably necessary to secure Lender from loss, cost, damage or expense,
including legal fees and expenses, issued and outstanding Letter of Credit
Accommodations and cheques or other payments provisionally credited to the
Obligations and/or as to which Lender has not yet received final and
indefeasible payment. Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash
collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in Canadian Dollars to such bank
account of Lender, as Lender may, in its discretion, designate in writing to
Borrower for such purpose. Interest shall be due until and including the next
Business Day, if the amounts so paid by Borrower to the bank account designated
by Lender are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, Toronto time.

         (b)      No termination of any of the Financing Agreements shall
relieve or discharge Borrower of its respective duties, obligations and
covenants under the Financing Agreements until all Obligations have been fully
and finally discharged and paid, and Lender's continuing security interest in
the Collateral and the rights and remedies of Lender, under the Financing
Agreements and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations
have been fully and finally discharged and paid.

         (c)      If this Agreement is terminated by Borrower prior to the end
of the then current term or renewal term of this Agreement or by Lender pursuant
to its right to terminate pursuant to Section 10.2, in view of the
impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by
mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of Lender's lost
profits as a result thereof, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, upon the
effective date of such termination, an early termination fee in the amount set
forth below if such termination is effective in the period indicated:

<TABLE>

                                       anniversary of the date hereof.

(ii)     1.0% of Maximum Credit    -   After the first anniversary of the date hereof to and
                                       including the second anniversary of the date hereof.

<TABLE>
<S>                                    <C>
(iii)    0.5% of Maximum Credit    -   After the second anniversary of the date hereof to and
                                       including the third anniversary of the date hereof and
                                       if the term of this Agreement is extended for an
                                       additional year, then to and including the end of the
                                       then current term.
</TABLE>

Such early termination fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages
sustained by Lender as a result of such early termination and Borrower agrees
that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. In addition,
Lender shall be entitled to such early termination fee upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(f) and 10.1(g) hereof, even if
Lender does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement, but elects, at
its option, to provide financing to Borrower or permit the use of cash
collateral under any applicable reorganization or insolvency legislation. The
early termination fee provided for in this Section 12.1 shall be deemed included
in the Obligations.

         (d)      Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time during
the term of this Agreement, the amount that would otherwise have been available
to be borrowed hereunder by Borrower has been reduced as a result of the
exercise of any discretion by Lender by an amount that, when aggregated, exceeds
$4,000,000, then Borrower may terminate this Agreement, without penalty and
without any early termination fee (including under this Section 12.1), provided
that each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) Borrower shall have
notified Lender of its intention to terminate this Agreement within ninety (90)
days of notice to Lender that the aforementioned $4,000,000 threshold has been
reached (the "NOTICE"); (ii) all of the Obligations shall be fully and
indefeasibly satisfied within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Notice to
Lender, and (iii) Lender shall not have previously sent any written notice to
Borrower of its intention to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the
terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a reduction in
availability as a result of due but unpaid tax obligations, past due trade
payables and/or the establishment of a Priority Payables Reserve shall not be
considered in the calculation of the aforementioned $4,000,000 threshold. The
failure of Borrower to exercise its rights under the foregoing provision at any
time does not preclude its right to exercise such rights at a future time.

12.2              NOTICES

                  All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in
writing and (a) made to Lender at its address set forth below and to Borrower at
its chief executive office set forth below, or to such other address as either
party may designate by written notice to the other in accordance with this
provision, and (b) deemed to have been given or made: if delivered in person,
immediately upon delivery; if by facsimile transmission, immediately upon
sending and upon confirmation of receipt; if by nationally recognized overnight
courier service with instructions to deliver the next Business Day, one (1)
Business Day after sending; and if by registered mail, return receipt requested,
five (5) days after mailing.

12.3              PARTIAL INVALIDITY

                  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate this
Agreement as a whole, but this Agreement

                                      -61-

<PAGE>

shall be construed as though it did not contain the particular provision held to
be invalid or unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall
be construed and enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by
applicable law.

12.4              SUCCESSORS

                  The Financing Agreements and any other document referred to
herein or therein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Lender, Borrower and their respective successors and assigns,
except that Borrower may not assign its rights under the Financing Agreements
and any other document referred to herein or therein without the prior written
consent of Lender. Lender may, after notice to Borrower, assign its rights and
delegate its obligations under the Financing Agreements at any time: (a) assign,
or sell participations in, all or any part of the Revolving Loans, the Letter of
Credit Accommodations or any other interest herein to another financial
institution that is not a non-resident in Canada, other than a direct competitor
of Borrower; and (b) after an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, assign, or sell participations in, all or any part of the Revolving
Loans, the Letter of Credit Accommodations or any other interest herein to
another financial institution or other Person, which in each circumstance, the
assignee or participant shall have, to the extent of such assignment or
participation, the same rights and benefits as it would have if it were the
Lender hereunder, except as otherwise provided by the terms of such assignment
or participation.

12.5              ENTIRE AGREEMENT

                  The Financing Agreements, any supplements hereto or thereto,
and any instruments or documents delivered or to be delivered in connection
herewith or therewith represents the entire agreement and understanding
concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof between the parties hereto, and
supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and
discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and
contracts concerning the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written. In the
event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any schedule
or exhibit hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

12.6              HEADINGS

                  The division of this Agreement into Sections and the insertion
of headings and a table of contents are for convenience of reference only and
shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.7              JUDGMENT CURRENCY

                  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of
Borrower in respect of any amount due under this Agreement shall,
notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (the "OTHER CURRENCY")
(whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent
of the amount in the currency in which it is due (the "AGREED CURRENCY") that
Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum
paid in the Other Currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the
Business Day immediately after the day on which Lender receives the payment. If
the amount in the Agreed Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls
short of the amount originally due, Borrower shall pay

                                      -62-

<PAGE>

all additional amounts, in the Agreed Currency, as may be necessary to
compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of Borrower not discharged by that
payment shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate
and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided in this Section,
continue in full force and effect.

12.8              COUNTERPARTS AND FACSIMILE

                  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and
such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The
delivery of a facsimile copy of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall
be deemed to be valid execution and delivery of this Agreement, but the party
delivering a facsimile copy shall deliver to the other party an original copy of
this Agreement as soon as possible after delivering the facsimile copy.
