         replacement, repair or reconstruction costs.

         8.1.1    the Lender shall be authorized, but not required, to do the
                  following at the Borrower's expense, with a view to protecting
                  or realizing the value of the Hypothecated Property:

                  8.1.1.1  to continue the processing of the Hypothecated
                           Property or perform the operations to which the
                           Borrower subjects such property in the course of its
                           business, and to acquire any property for this
                           purpose;

                  8.1.1.2  to dispose of any Hypothecated Property which is

                           impaired;

                  8.1.1.3  to use the information obtained in the exercise of

                  8.1.1.5  to exercise any right attached to the Hypothecated
                           Property;

<PAGE>

                  8.1.1.6  in the exercise of any of its rights, to use without
                           charge the Borrower's premises, equipment, machinery,
                           processes, information and intellectual property;

                  8.1.1.7  to borrow funds;

                  8.1.1.8  to ensure proper maintenance, proceed with any
                           repairs or renovations, undertake or complete any
                           work, at the Borrower's expense;

         8.1.2    the Lender shall exercise its rights in good faith so that,
                  following such exercise, the obligations secured by the
                  Hypothec shall be reasonably reduced under the circumstances;

         8.1.3    the Lender may itself purchase or otherwise acquire the
                  Hypothecated Property directly or indirectly;

         8.1.4    in the exercise of its rights, the Lender shall be entitled to

         8.1.5    the Lender shall not be required to make an inventory, take
                  out insurance or provide any other security;

         8.1.6    the Borrower shall, at the Lender's request, move the
                  Hypothecated Property and make it available to the Lender in a
                  location designated by the Lender and which, in the latter's
                  opinion, is more appropriate under the circumstances.

8.2      Where the Lender exercises the hypothecary remedy of "taking in
         payment" and the Borrower requires that the Lender proceed instead with
         a sale of the Hypothecated Property in relation to which the Lender is
         exercising its remedy, the Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Lender
         shall not be required to abandon its remedy for taking in payment
         unless, within the time allotted for surrender, the Lender (i) has been
         provided with security which it deems satisfactory to the effect that
         the property shall be sold at a sufficiently high price to enable the
         Lender's claim to be paid in full, (ii) has been reimbursed for any
         expenses then incurred by the Lender, including any fees of consultants
         or legal counsel relating to such remedy, and (iii) has been provided
         with the amounts required for the sale of the property; the Borrower
         further acknowledges that the Lender shall alone be entitled to select
         the method of sale.

8.3      The Borrower shall be deemed to have surrendered the Hypothecated
         Property held by the Lender or on its behalf where the Lender has not,
         within the time allotted for surrender by law or by a court, received
         written notice from the Borrower that the latter was challenging the
         exercise of the hypothecary remedy indicated in the prior notice.

8.4      Where the Lender itself sells the Hypothecated Property, it shall not
         be required to obtain a prior valuation from a third person.

8.5      The Hypothecated Property may be sold with a legal warranty on the part
         of the Borrower or, at the Lender's option, with a total or partial
         warranty exclusion; it may also be sold for cash, on an instalment
         basis or subject to the terms and conditions determined by the Lender;
         such sale may be rescinded in the event of non-payment of the agreed
         price, and the property may then be resold.

9.       GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1      Additional security - The Hypothec granted hereunder shall be in
         addition to any other hypothec or security held by the Lender,
         including, without limitation, the movable hypothec dated February 10,
         2004 granted by the Borrower in favour of the Lender to secure the
         performance of its obligations mentioned in Section 3 and registered at
         the Register of Personal and Movable Real Rights in the Province of
         Quebec under number 04-0196152-0008 but shall not be in replacement or
         exchange thereof; it shall not affect the Lender's rights of set-off.

9.2      Notices - All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
         shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing to the party for
         whom it is intended and shall be mailed, sent or delivered, to such
         party at its address set forth below with its signature or shall be
         sent by telecopier or other means of rapid communication at its rapid
         communication address set forth below with its signature, or at such
         other address or rapid communication address as shall be designated by
         such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such
         notices and communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, three (3)
         Banking Days after deposited in the mail, first class, postage prepaid,
         (ii) if delivered, when delivered and (iii) if sent by telecopier or
         other means of rapid communication, on the date of transmission if
         transmitted before 3:00 p.m. (Montreal time) on a Banking Day or, in
         any other case, on the next following Banking Day. In the event of a
         postal strike or any slow-down in the postal service, no notice of or
         communication by mail shall be effective if sent during, or within five
         (5) Banking Days prior to the commencement of, such strike or slow-down
         unless it is actually received by the party to whom it is addressed
         and, in such event, it shall be effective only on the date of actual
         receipt.

9.3      Time allotted - The Lender may grant extensions, take or surrender
         security, make accommodations, grant discharges or releases or
         otherwise transact with the Borrower, at its discretion, without
         thereby restricting its rights hereunder or reducing the Borrower's
         liability.

<PAGE>

9.4      Continuing security - The Hypothec shall constitute a continuing
         security which shall subsist notwithstanding the occasional, total or
         partial satisfaction of the obligations secured hereby; it shall have
         full and complete effect until such time as a total discharge has been
         executed by the Lender.

9.5      Putting in default - Time is of the essence in this contract. The
         Borrower shall be in default of performing its obligations hereunder by
         the mere lapse of the time allowed for such performance or by the mere
         materialization of the due date, without notice or prior notice.

9.6      Execution in Counterparts - This Agreement may be executed in any
         number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
         counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
         original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and
         the same agreement.

9.7      Cumulative remedies - By exercising any of its rights, the Lender shall
         not be prevented from exercising any other right resulting from this
         Agreement, from the Loan Agreement, from any deed granting a security
         in favour of the Lender or from any legislation; the Lender's rights
         shall be cumulative, and not alternative. Failure to exercise any of
         its rights shall not constitute, for the Lender, a waiver of any future
         exercise of such right. The Lender may exercise its rights hereunder
         without having to exercise its rights against any other person
         responsible for the payment of the obligations secured hereby and
         without having to realize any other security guaranteeing such
         obligations.

9.8      Irrevocable mandate - The Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the
         Borrower's representative with power of substitution for purposes of
         the following paragraph, with a view to doing any thing or signing any
         paper, power of attorney or document which it deems appropriate for
         purposes of exercising its rights or which the Borrower may fail or
         refuse to sign or do.

9.9      Delegation - The Lender may delegate to another person the exercise of
         its rights or remedies or the performance of its obligations under this
         Agreement or under the law; in such an event, the Lender may provide to
         such other person any information which it possesses about the Borrower
         or the Hypothecated Property.

9.10     Liability - The Lender shall not be liable for any material damage
         which may result through its fault or that of its servants or of any
         persons with whom it has contracted for purposes of protecting or
         exercising its rights, unless such damage is the result of gross
         negligence or wilful misconduct.

9.11     Successors - The rights conferred upon the Lender hereby shall extend
         to any successor, including any entity resulting from the merger of the
         Lender with another person.

<PAGE>

9.12     Governing Law - Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing provided for
         in the Loan Agreement, this Agreement shall be governed by and
         construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Quebec as the
         same may from time to time be in effect.

9.13     Language - The parties hereby confirm their express wish that the
         present Agreement and all documents and agreements directly and
         indirectly related thereto, including notices, be drawn up in English.
         Notwithstanding such express wish, the parties agree that any of such
         documents, agreements and notices or any part thereof or of this
         Agreement may be drawn up in French. Les parties reconnaissent leur
         volonte expresse que la presente convention ainsi que tous les
         documents et conventions qui s'y rattachent directement ou

         de ceux-ci ou de cette convention puissent etre rediges en langue
         francaise.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed
by their respective representatives thereunto duly authorized as of the date
first above written.
