Advances – Canadian Loan Facility.  Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Lender may, in its sole discretion and upon the Borrower’s request, make Advances to the Borrower in an amount (hereinafter referred to as the “Gross Availability CDN Funds”) which is the lesser of:

(i)

the Maximum Loan Amount as set forth on the Term Sheet less the amount drawn at that time on the US Loan Facility, or

(C)

which Advances the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow during the term of the Agreement.  All Advances and amounts payable pursuant to this Rider shall constitute part of the Obligations.

- 4 -


(c)

Reserves.  The Lender shall have a continuing right to deduct reserves in determining the Gross Availability CDN Funds and the Gross Availability US Funds (“Reserves”), and to increase and decrease such Reserves from time to time, if and to the extent that, in the Lender’s sole judgment, such Reserves are necessary to protect the Lender against any state of facts which does, or would, with notice or passage of time or both, constitute an Event of Default or have an adverse effect on any Collateral.  The Lender may, at its option, implement Reserves by designating as ineligible a sufficient amount of accounts or inventory which would otherwise be Eligible Receivables so as to reduce Gross Availability CDN Funds or Gross Availability US Funds by the amount of the intended Reserve.

(d)

Borrowing Procedure.  With each request for an Advance, the Borrower will submit to the Lender original invoices, an inventory certification and such other documents and information as the Lender shall request, all of which shall be satisfactory to the Lender.

(e)

Interest Rate.  The Borrower shall pay the Lender interest on the daily outstanding balance of the Borrower’s Revolving Credit Loan account at a per annum rate equal to the Effective Rate as set forth on the Term Sheet.  In the event any payments of principal are not paid when due or declared due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by lapse of time or otherwise, including any fees, costs or expenses advanced or paid by the Lender, the principal balance shall bear interest thereafter, at the Lender’s option, and without affecting any of the Lender’s rights and remedies provided for in the Agreement, this Rider or any promissory note evidencing the Borrower’s Obligations, at a per annum rate equal to Default Rate as set forth on the Term Sheet.  Any change in any of the above interest rates resulting from a change in the Prime Rate shall become effective immediately with each change in the Prime Rate.  Interest charges shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual days elapsed in a month and, except as set forth in address shown on page 1 of the Agreement. For the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada) only, the yearly rate of interest to which any rate for a period less than a year is equivalent is such rate, divided by the number of days in such period, and multiplied by the actual number of days in the year.

(f)

Principal Payments.  In the event that the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Loan is in excess (for whatever reason) of the amount of the Gross Availability, the Borrower agrees to remit to the Lender, within one (1) business day, such amount as may be necessary to reduce the total outstanding amount to the amount of the Gross Availability CDN Funds or Gross Availability US Funds, whatever the case may be.  All principal and interest due under the Revolving Credit Loan shall be due upon termination of the Agreement.

(g)

Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loan solely for the purposes as set forth in the Agreement and on the attached Term Sheet.

3.

Receivables Collection

(a)

Cash Collateral Account.  All cash, checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money (properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by the Lender), which may be received by the Borrower at any time in full or partial payment of any of the Receivables (“Remittances”) shall be deposited to a non-interest bearing deposit account




- 5 -


in the Lender’s name (the “Cash Collateral Account”) as security for payment of the Obligations.  The Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any funds deposited in the Cash Collateral Account.  In the event that the Borrower repays the Obligations in full at any time hereafter, the balance in the Cash Collateral Account or such other accounts holding the proceeds thereof will be delivered to the Borrower five (5) business days after the date of pay off.  Unless the Lender shall (acting in its sole discretion) notify the Borrower to the contrary, Remittances shall be administered on the basis set forth on the Term Sheet.

The Revolving Credit Loan shall be on a Lockbox Collection Basis.  Therefore, the Borrower shall direct, and/or the Lender may advise, all Receivables Debtors to mail all Remittances to the post office box specified in a Lockbox Service Agreement (“Lockbox Agreement”) which shall be entered into by the Borrower, the Lender and the Lockbox Bank identified on the Term Sheet.  The Borrower shall be responsible for all fees and charges assessed by the Lockbox Bank pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement.  To the extent the post office box is rented in the Borrower’s name, the Borrower will not terminate its rental (or allow such termination), without prior written notice to the Lender.  The Lockbox Bank shall deposit and hold all Remittances in the Cash Collateral Account and disburse same to the Lender pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement.  Upon the receipt of the proceeds of the Cash Collateral Account by the Lender’s bank, the Lender shall apply all or any of the then balance toward payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order of application as the Lender may determine, or the Lender may release all or any of such balance to the Borrower; provided, however, for purposes of computing interest on the outstanding principal of the Revolving Credit Loan, principal paydowns shall be deemed to have been made after the elapse of the number of Float Days set forth on the Term Sheet.  If, notwithstanding the Borrower’s directions to Receivables Debtors, the Borrower receives Remittances directly from Receivables Debtors the Borrower will not commingle such Remittances with any of the Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold same separate and apart from the Borrower’s own funds or property, and in trust for the Lender until delivery is made to the Lockbox Bank.

4.

Inventory

(a)

Return of Inventory.  If at any time prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Agreement or this Rider, any Receivables Debtor returns any inventory to us in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business, the Borrower shall promptly determine the reason for such return and issue a credit memorandum to the Receivables Debtor in the appropriate amount.  The borrower agrees to give the Lender prompt notice of the return of such inventory. In the event any attempted return occurs after an Event of Default under the Agreement or this Rider occurs, the Borrower shall (i) hold the returned inventory in trust for the Lender, (ii) segregate all returned inventory from all of the Borrower’s other property and (iii) conspicuously label the returned inventory as the Lender’s property.

(b)

Sale of Inventory.  Until an Event of Default under the Agreement or this Rider occurs, the borrower may, in any lawful manner, sell inventory, but only in the ordinary course of its business, provided, however, the Borrower’s sale shall not cause a breach of its warranties and representations as set forth in this Rider.  The Borrower acknowledges that any sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business does not include a transfer of partial or total satisfaction of Indebtedness.
