In such event, the Claims shall be paid by the debtors thereof to the Trustee, being the sole Person entitled to receive same and grant discharge thereof and all amounts collected or received by the Grantor in respect of the Claims will be deemed to have been collected or received by the Grantor as mandatary of and in trust for the Trustee and will be remitted immediately to the Trustee in identical form as received, duly endorsed in blank, or deposited into such bank accounts as are acceptable from time to time to the Trustee and shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Indenture.

4.2           In the event that the Trustee withdraws the Grantor's authority to collect Claims as provided for in Clause 4.1 hereof:

      4.2.1        the Trustee shall be entitled to give good and sufficient discharge for all Claims collected by it, but the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from non-collection thereof, any irregularity in the payment thereof or any failure to inform the Grantor of such non-collection or irregularity; and,

      4.2.2        the Trustee shall hold any proceeds received by the Trustee, in a separate account to be applied and dealt with by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Indenture.

4.3           Neither the receipt nor the application of any Claims by the Trustee shall reduce, novate or otherwise affect the hypothecs, security and rights hereby created in favour of the Trustee, all of which shall remain in full force and effect for the full amount thereof unless reduced or discharged in writing by the Trustee.

4.4           In the event that the Trustee withdraws the Grantor's authority to collect Claims as provided for in Clause 4.1 hereof, the following shall prevail, namely:

      4.4.1        the Trustee will be the only party authorized and entitled to collect, dispose of and deal with the Claims;

      4.4.2        the Trustee will have the right to collect, dispose of and deal with the Claims as it may deem expedient including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to demand, sue for, enforce, recover and receive payment of the Claims and to compound, compromise, grant extensions, take and give up securities, accept compositions and grant releases and discharges with respect thereto, the whole without notice to the Grantor and without any liability for any loss resulting therefrom;

      4.4.3        actions to enforce rights with respect to the Claims may be instituted by the Trustee, at its discretion, in its own name, in the name of the Grantor, or in the name of the Trustee and the Grantor jointly;

      4.4.4        the Trustee will not be obliged to inform the Grantor of any irregularity in the payment of any of the Claims; and,

      4.4.5        any such Claims shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Indenture.

5.             INSURANCE

5.1           The Grantor shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the policies of insurance currently in force in respect of the Grantor's assets or otherwise as is customary and prudent in the industry of the Grantor. If the Grantor at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay all premiums relating thereto, the Trustee may, at any time or times thereafter, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take such other action with respect thereto as it deems advisable. The Trustee shall have no obligation to obtain insurance for the Grantor or pay any premiums therefor. By doing so, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have waived any Event of Default arising from the Grantor's failure to maintain such insurance and pay any premiums therefor. All sums so disbursed, including legal fees, court costs and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the Grantor to the Trustee and shall be additional obligations secured by the Hypothec. The Grantor shall deliver to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, endorsements to:

      5.1.1        all "All Risk" and business interruption insurance of the Grantor naming the Trustee as loss payee and containing the standard mortgage clause provided by the Insurance Bureau of Canada; and,

      5.1.2        all general liability and other liability policies naming the Trustee as additional insured thereunder.

5.2           The Trustee reserves the right, at any time, upon any change in Grantor's risk profile (including any change in the product mix maintained by the Grantor or any laws affecting the potential liability of Grantor) to require additional forms and limits of insurance to, in the reasonable opinion of the Trustee, adequately protect the Trustee's interests, in all or any portion of the Charged Property and to ensure that the Grantor is protected by insurance in amounts and with coverage customary for its industry. If requested by the Trustee, the Grantor shall deliver to the Trustee, from time to time, a report of a reputable insurance broker, satisfactory to the Trustee, with respect to its insurance policies.

5.3           The Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Trustee, so long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the anticipated insurance proceeds exceed Cdn$500,000.00, as the Grantor's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such "All Risk" policies of insurance, endorsing the name of the Grantor on any cheque or any other item of payment for the proceeds of such "All Risk" policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such "All Risk" policies of insurance. The Trustee shall have no duty to exercise any rights or powers granted to it pursuant to the foregoing power-of-attorney. The Grantor shall promptly notify the Trustee of any loss, damage, or destruction to the Charged Property in the amount of Cdn$100,000.00 or more, whether or not covered by insurance. After deducting from such proceeds the expenses, if any, incurred by the Trustee in the collection or handling thereof, the Trustee shall remit the balance to the Grantor which shall use such money, or any part thereof, to replace, repair, restore or rebuild the Charged Property in a diligent and expeditious manner with materials and workmanship of substantially the same quality as existed before the loss, damage or destruction.

6.             COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

6.1           The Grantor covenants, represents and warrants as follows:

      6.1.1        the Grantor will pay Debenture Indebtedness as and when it becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Trust Indenture;

      6.1.2        the Grantor will perform, observe and comply with all obligations, terms, conditions and covenants provided under the Trust Indenture; and,

      6.1.3        the Grantor shall fulfill and respect all of its obligations, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Security Agreement, mutatis mutandis, to the extent applicable under the laws of the Province of Quebec (and the laws of Canada in force therein) and to the extent not inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof.

10



7.             EVENTS OF DEFAULT

7.1           Each of the following events constitutes an "Event of Default" hereunder:

      7.1.1        the occurrence of any "Default" or "Event of Default", as such terms are defined in the Trust Indenture; or,

      7.1.2        the failure by the Grantor to comply with any of the provisions of this Deed within fifteen (15) days after notice to the Grantor specifying the nature of such failure.

8.             REMEDIES IN CASE OF DEFAULT

8.1           Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Hypothec, Separate Hypothec, security interests and rights granted hereunder in favour of the Trustee shall immediately become enforceable without further demand or other notice of any kind (other than as may be strictly required by law) and the Trustee shall be entitled to exercise all hypothecary rights, other rights, remedies and recourses available under law. In addition to the foregoing:

      8.1.1        the Trustee may immediately take proceedings for the recovery of all or any portion of the Debenture Indebtedness; and,

      8.1.2        upon demand by the Trustee, the Grantor will surrender and abandon the Charged Property, or the part thereof specified by the Trustee, to the Trustee or such Person as may be designated by the Trustee, or will consent in writing to turn such property over to the Trustee or such Person as may be designated by the Trustee at the time and place specified by the Trustee.

8.2           In the event that the Trustee obtains the surrender of the whole or any portion of the Charged Property and until such time as such Charged Property is restored to the Grantor or, as regards any portion thereof, the Trustee has concluded a recourse by way of taking in payment, sale by the creditor, sale under judicial authority or otherwise, or in the event that the Trustee collect any Claims, then, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary which may apply as a result of the Trustee having acquired or being deemed to have acquired simple, full or any other administration of the whole or any portion of the Charged Property:

      8.2.1        the Trustee will be entitled to generally delegate the whole or any part of the administration of any Charged Property (including without limitation, the exercise of all discretionary powers) to such Person(s) as the Trustee may designate or re-designate in the Trustee's sole discretion (any such Person being herein referred to as an "Administrator");

      8.2.2        the Trustee and any Administrator will be entitled to reimbursement of all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs, expenses and fees incurred by any attorneys or other Persons engaged by the Trustee or the Administrator acting reasonably in order to assist in such administration, or any matter pertaining thereto), as well as all reasonable fees of the Trustee and the Administrator incurred in such administration, all of which may be charged by the Trustee against any fruits, revenues or proceeds of alienation of the whole or any portion of the Charged Property;

      8.2.3        the Trustee or the Administrator shall be entitled, under any circumstances and in such manner as the Trustee or the Administrator deems, in their respective discretion, appropriate, to alienate such Charged Property by onerous title;

      8.2.4        the Trustee will be entitled to acquire the whole or any portion of any Charged Property alienated by onerous title in the course of any administration thereof;

      8.2.5        in the event that the Trustee or the Administrator acquire full administration of any Charged Property, neither the Trustee nor the Administrator will be under any obligation whatsoever to make such Charged Property productive, increase such Charged Property or the value thereof or appropriate such Charged Property to any purpose other than payment of the Debenture Indebtedness;

      8.2.6        the Trustee and the Administrator will be entitled to use for their own benefits any information which either of them may obtain by reason of their administration of the whole or any

11



      portion of the Charged Property provided such information is not used in a manner which causes a prejudice or damage to the Grantor;

      8.2.7        the Trustee and the Administrator will be entitled, whether or not for value, to renounce to any right affecting, benefiting, pertaining to and/or forming part of any Charged Property administered by either of them;

      8.2.8        neither the Trustee nor the Administrator will be obliged, in any manner whatsoever, to prepare any inventory of any Charged Property, insure any Charged Property or give any security for any Charged Property or their administration thereof. Should the Trustee or the Administrator, in their discretion, insure the whole or any portion of any Charged Property, the reasonable costs and expenses of any insurance shall form part of the costs and expenses referred to in paragraph (b) hereof;

      8.2.9        the Trustee and the Administrator may change the destination of the whole or any portion of any Charged Property under their administration and will not be bound to continue the use or operation of any Charged Property under their administration which produces fruits or revenues unless required by law to do so; and/or,

      8.2.10      notwithstanding any provisions of law to the contrary, the Trustee and the Administrator will only be obliged to render an account to the Grantor upon the written request of the Grantor and once the Trustee or Administrator have determined, to their satisfaction, the details of such account.

8.3           In the event that the Trustee exercises its right to become the absolute owner of the Charged Property or any part thereof, the Grantor, concurrently with surrender or at any time thereafter at the request of the Trustee, will sign a voluntary Deed providing for the Trustee (or any Person directed in writing by the Trustee) to take in payment the Charged Property or any part thereof. In the event that the Grantor requires the Trustee to sell any such Charged Property, the Grantor acknowledges that the Trustee will not be required to abandon its recourse of taking in payment unless, before the expiration of the delay to surrender, the Trustee: (i) shall have been furnished with security guaranteeing that the Charged Property in question will be sold at a sufficiently high price for the Trustee to be paid the amounts secured hereunder in full; (ii) shall have been reimbursed the costs which it has incurred; and (iii) shall have been advanced all amounts necessary for the sale of the Charged Property in question.

All expenditures and improvements made by any holder of the Charged Property and all payments made on account of the Debenture Indebtedness and the accessories thereof will belong to the Trustee without return or compensation. The Trustee will not be obliged to compensate or indemnify the Grantor or any other Person for any cause whatsoever.

8.4           In the event that the Trustee exercises its right to sell the whole or any portion of the Charged Property by judicial authority or pursuant to a sale by the creditors, the following will apply:

      8.4.1        such Charged Property may be sold subject to and upon such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, terms extending credit) by way of one (1) or more sales by private agreement, call for tenders or public auction or combinations thereof as the Trustee or the Administrator see fit and the Trustee or the Administrator may, at any time, change or substitute any method of sale for any other method of sale of such Charged Property; and,

      8.4.2        notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, in any call for tenders, the Trustee or Administrator will not be obliged to accept the highest offer or any offer and, in the event that no offer is accepted, may proceed to sell such Charged Property by any other method.

9.             REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

9.1           The different recourses of the Trustee hereunder are cumulative and not alternative. The rights and remedies of the Trustee hereunder are in addition to every other right and remedy now or hereafter existing in favour of the Trustee, whether by law or otherwise.

12


10.           WAIVERS

10.1         No delay or failure on the part of the Trustee in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall affect such right or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise hereof preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Any waiver by the Trustee of any of its rights or remedies hereunder will be valid only if express and in writing. No waiver shall be deemed to be or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of the Trustee. In no event will the Trustee's acceptance, after the Debenture Indebtedness may have become due and payable, of any partial payment, be deemed to alter or affect the Trustee's rights with respect to any subsequent payment or default thereon. Moreover, should the Trustee grant or tolerate any extension or delay for payment or performance of any obligations of the Grantor, such extension, delay, indulgence or tolerance will not be deemed an acquiescence by the Trustee in such default or waiver of any of the Trustee's rights and remedies hereunder or in respect of any future default.

10.2         To the extent necessary or useful, the parties hereto expressly waive the application of section 32 of the Act Respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons (RSQ, c.P.16) and of articles 1310 and 2147 of the Civil Code.

11.           NATURE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SECURITY

11.1         Nothing contained in this Deed will be deemed to derogate from or alter the terms and conditions of any of the Debenture Indebtedness.

11.2         The security hereby granted secures and will continue to secure the Debenture Indebtedness on a continuing and fluctuating basis and is and will be valid notwithstanding that the whole or any portion of the prestations in consideration of which the Grantor has undertaken its obligations towards the Trustee have not yet been received and notwithstanding that the whole or any portion of the Debenture Indebtedness may not yet exist. With respect to any future obligation secured hereby, the Grantor shall be deemed to have obligated itself again as contemplated by article 2797 of the Civil Code.

11.3         The security hereby granted will remain in full force and effect for the full Hypothec Amount and amounts of the additional hypothec and the Separate Hypothec until such time as an express written discharge is executed by the Trustee and delivered to the Grantor. The hypothecs, security and rights hereby created in favour of the Trustee will not be extinguished, reduced, novated or otherwise affected by any payments made to or amounts received by the Trustee, directly or indirectly, from the Grantor or any other party or as a result of any insurance indemnities arising from loss or damage to any of the Charged Property or by reason of the collection of any Claims.

12.           NATURE OF OBLIGATIONS

12.1         Every obligation of the Grantor hereunder is and will remain indivisible and the performance thereof in its entirety may be claimed from any and each of the successors of the Grantor.

13.           OTHER SECURITY

13.1         The security created hereunder is in addition to and not in substitution for nor deemed to be substituted by any other security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of the Trustee and/or the Debentureholders shall not be diminished or novated or otherwise affected by any other security or any promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness which the Trustee or any party for the benefit of the Trustee may have or obtain from the Grantor or any other Person, nor shall any other security or note or evidence of indebtedness be diminished or novated or otherwise affected hereby.

14.           POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE

14.1         The Trustee is the holder of the Hypothec, Separate Hypothec, security interests and rights created hereunder as the beneficiary of all rights hereby conferred to the Trustee as the Fondé de Pouvoir of and for or on behalf of the Debentureholders.

13


14.2         The Trustee shall have the right to proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the security hereby constituted by any remedy available at law. The Trustee may exercise all of its rights hereunder without possession of the Debentures and without having to produce same in support of any judicial proceeding or trial in connection therewith.

14.3         Any Person who becomes a Debentureholder will benefit from the designation of the Trustee as Fondé de Pouvoir for and on behalf of all Debentureholders and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Trustee to exercise its duties hereunder.

14.4         The Trustee may from time to time delegate to any Person, including a Debentureholder, the exercise of any of its rights, remedies and recourses or the performance of any of its obligations under this Deed, in which case the Trustee may provide to such Person any information in its possession with respect to the Grantor or the Charged Property. The Trustee shall not in any way be responsible for any misconduct or default of any such Person.

14.5         This Deed shall be binding upon the Grantor towards the Trustee and any successor or assign thereof as may be permitted hereunder or under the Trust Indenture.

14.6         No Person dealing with the Trustee or its mandataries shall be required to determine whether the hypothecs created hereunder have become enforceable or whether the powers which the Trustee is purporting to exercise have become exercisable.

14.8         The Trustee may be replaced as provided for under the Trust Indenture. Any replacement of the Trustee in accordance with the Trust Indenture:

      14.8.1      shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be the Trustee hereunder;

      14.8.2      shall be entitled to exercise all rights and powers of the Trustee hereunder;

      14.8.3      shall replace the Trustee named hereunder as trustee and as Fondé de Pouvoir of the Debentureholders; and

      14.8.4      shall be governed by and benefit from all of the obligations and rights of the Trustee hereunder.

15.           MATTERS CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

15.1         The Trustee shall have the right in its discretion to proceed in its name as Fondé de Pouvoir of the Debentureholders and as Trustee under this Deed in the enforcement of the security created under this Deed and under any remedy provided by any applicable law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, but it shall not be bound to do or take any act or action in virtue of the powers conferred on it by this Deed unless and until it shall have been required so to do by a Debentureholders' Instrument defining the action which it is required to take, and the Trustee may, before taking such action, require the Debentureholders to deposit with the Trustee the Debentures held by them for which Debentures the Trustee shall issue receipts. The obligation of the Trustee to commence or continue any act, action or proceedings for the purpose of realizing upon the Charged Property pursuant to the terms of any applicable law or this Deed or for the enforcement of any covenant or obligation under or arising under this Deed or the Debentures shall, at the option of the Trustee, be conditional upon the Debentureholders furnishing, when required in writing by the Trustee, the Trustee's Indemnification;

14



file and prove a claim, value security and vote and act at all meetings of creditors and otherwise in such proceedings as directed;

15.4         The Trustee shall be obliged to act and shall act and be fully protected in acting upon the instructions, requests or directions set forth in a Debentureholders' Instrument in connection with any proceeding, act, power, right, matter or thing relating to or conferred by right or to be done under this Deed.

17.           GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION

17.1         This Deed shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Quebec. The Grantor expressly submits and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court, District of Montreal, with respect to any controversy arising out of or relating to this Deed or any supplement hereto or to any transaction in connection therewith.
