                         amounts being equal to $7,725,000, subject to
                         adjustment as set forth in Section 3.5(a) (the "CASH
                         PAYMENT"); and

                         Escrow Agent (in accordance with the wire instructions
                         set out in Exhibit 3 to Schedule "A") in immediately
                         available funds an amount equal to $975,000 (the
                         "ESCROWED FUNDS") to be held and distributed in
                         accordance with the Escrow Agreement and Section 3.4;

3.4         RELEASE OF ESCROW

               (a)  $650,000 of the Escrowed Funds shall be released to the
                    Vendors on July 12, 2005 and $325,000 of the Escrowed Funds
                    shall be released to the Vendors on May 12, 2006, provided
                    that if the Purchaser makes a claim or claims for
                    indemnification pursuant to Article 7 before the date on
                    which any part of the Escrowed Funds are to be released, the
                    amount or amounts claimed by the Purchaser shall remain in
                    escrow if not settled or finally adjudicated by such release
                    date. The Escrowed Funds shall not be released except in
                    accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

               (b)  Upon completion of any mutual settlement or a final judgment
                    of a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the terms
                    of this Agreement, in respect of any claim or claims, the
                    Purchaser and the Vendors shall direct the Escrow Agent to
                    deliver to the Purchaser the Escrowed Funds equal to the
                    amount or amounts agreed upon or awarded to the Purchaser as
                    a result of any such claim or claims; provided, however,
                    that during the applicable period of escrow, no such payment
                    shall be made except after the aggregate of the amounts
                    ultimately determined to be payable exceed $50,000 and then
                    all such amounts shall be paid; and for greater certainty,
                    after the applicable period of escrow, the claims
                    accumulated, if any, during the period of escrow and within
                    the applicable time periods referred to in Section 4.4 shall
                    be paid whether such claims exceed $50,000 or not.

               (c)  The release from escrow shall not limit the rights or
                    remedies of the Purchaser under Article 7 to claim any
                    further amount due to the Purchaser by the Vendors following
                    the delivery of some or all of the Escrowed Funds.

3.5         ADJUSTMENT TO CONSIDERATION

               (a)  The Parties agree that the Purchase Price was determined as
                    if the net working capital of the Corporation was $1,000,000
                    at the close of business on the Closing Date (the
                    "CONSIDERATION NET WORKING CAPITAL"). The Parties agree that
                    the estimate of net working capital at the close of business
                    on the Closing Date is $1,044,000 (the "ESTIMATED NET
                    WORKING CAPITAL"). Accordingly, the Parties agree that the
                    Purchase Price shall be increased on the Closing Date by
                    $22,000 (the "UPWARD ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT").

               (b)  The Parties agree to make a subsequent adjustment to the
                    Purchase Price on the Adjustment Date (as that term is
                    defined in Section 6.1) to reflect the actual net working
                    capital of the Corporation on the Closing Date (the "ACTUAL
                    NET WORKING CAPITAL"), as shown on the balance sheet to be
                    prepared in accordance with paragraph 3.5(c) hereof, as
                    follows:

                    (i)  Subject to paragraph 3.5(b)(ii): (a) if the amount
                         obtained by subtracting the Consideration Net Working
                         Capital from the Actual Net Working Capital exceeds the
                         Upward Adjustment Amount, then the Purchaser shall pay
                         such excess to the Vendors, allocated as specified in
                         Schedule "A", within five Business Days of the
                         Adjustment Date (or such later date when the Actual Net
                         Working Capital is settled in accordance with Section
                         3.5(c)); or (b) if the amount obtained by subtracting
                         the Consideration Net Working Capital from the Actual
                         Net Working Capital so reflected is less than the
                         Upward Adjustment Amount, then the Vendors shall pay
                         (in the proportions as specified in Schedule "A") such
                         deficiency to the Purchaser within five Business Days
                         of the Adjustment Date (or such later date when the
                         Actual Net Working Capital is settled in accordance
                         with Section 3.5(c)); and

                    (ii) In the event that the Actual Net Working Capital is
                         less than the Consideration Net Working Capital, then,
                         within five Business Days of the Adjustment Date (or
                         such later date when the Actual Net Working Capital is
                         settled in accordance with Section 3.5(c)), the Vendors
                         shall pay (in the proportions as specified in Schedule
                         "A") to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Upward
                         Adjustment Amount plus the amount of the difference
                         between the Actual Net Working Capital and the
                         Consideration Net Working Capital.

                    For purposes of this Agreement, "Actual Net Working Capital"
                    shall mean the current assets of the Corporation on the
                    Closing Date minus all current liabilities of the
                    Corporation on the Closing Date, calculated in accordance
                    with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis.
               (c)  During the 90 day period after the Closing Date, the
                    Purchaser will prepare and submit to the Vendors a draft of
                    the Actual Net Working Capital on the Closing Date, such
                    amount to be based on a version of the balance sheet of the
                    Corporation dated as of the Closing Date, prepared by the
                    Purchaser, setting forth all assets and liabilities of the
                    Corporation which are required to be reflected thereon in
                    accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. The
                    Purchaser shall furnish the Vendors with all information and
                    explanations which they may reasonably request for the
                    purpose of reviewing the Purchaser's preparation of Actual
                    Net Working Capital, during the period in which the draft
                    statements are being prepared, including access to all
                    current working accounting files, tax files, permanent
                    files, and other documents relating to the calculation of
                    Actual Net Working Capital. In the event of a dispute
                    between the Parties as to the Actual Net Working Capital,
                    the Parties will have 30 days to resolve the dispute among
                    themselves. If the Parties have not resolved such dispute
                    within such 30-day period, then the Parties shall select an
                    arbitrator who shall decide the dispute within 30 days after
                    being selected. The Parties hereto each agree to be bound by
                    the decision of the arbitrator. The arbitrator must be an
                    individual who is employed or was formerly employed by a
                    nationally recognized accounting firm. All costs of the
                    arbitration shall be split 50/50 between the Purchaser and
                    the Vendors.

               (d)  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no payment need be
                    made pursuant to Section 3.5(b) if the excess or deficiency,
                    as the case may be, is less than $500.00. Any amount payable
                    pursuant to

                                       -5-

                    this Section 3.5 shall be satisfied by cheque, bank draft or
                    wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
                    specified by the payee.

                   COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES FOLLOWING CLOSING

6.1         POST CLOSING BALANCE SHEET

            On the date which is the first Business Day after 90 days after the
Closing Date (the "ADJUSTMENT DATE"), the Parties shall adjust the Purchase
Price in accordance with Section 3.5. Any dispute between the Parties as to this
Section 6.1 shall be resolved in accordance with the procedure set forth in
Section 3.5.

6.2         TRANSITION

            Each of the Vendors (other than, for the purposes of clauses 6.2(i)
and 6.2(iii) only, the Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec), severally, and
not jointly and severally, agree that during the period commencing on the date
hereof and ending six months following Closing: (i) such Vendor will not take
any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any
customer or business associate of the Corporation from maintaining the same
business relationships with the Corporation after the Closing that it maintained
with the Corporation before the Closing; (ii) such Vendor will use reasonable
commercial efforts to refer all customer inquiries relating to the business of
the Corporation to the Purchaser from and after the Closing; and (iii) such
Vendor agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to assist the Purchaser, at
the Purchaser's request and expense, with the orderly transition of the
operations of the Corporation from the Vendors to the Purchaser (including,
without limitation, recommendations, advice and interaction with customers and
potential customers of the

<PAGE>
                                       -7-

Corporation and Governmental or Regulatory Authorities as well as assistance in
the preparation of securities market filings, audit reports and officer
representation letters).

6.3         EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

            The Purchaser shall maintain a minimum employment level of ten
Employees (as defined below) based out of the Corporation's Gatineau office for
a period of one year from Closing.

            The Disclosure Schedule sets out all of the employees of the
Corporation at Closing (the "EMPLOYEES"). All wages, commissions, bonuses,
vacation pay, severance compensation (to the extent such severance compensation
relates to employees terminated prior to the Time of Closing), payments under
Employee Plans and other remuneration and benefits due to the Employees for the
period prior to the Time of Closing, if not paid by the Corporation at or prior
to Closing, shall be accrued as current liabilities of the Corporation for the
purposes of calculating Actual Net Working Capital, provided however that if
such amounts are not included in the calculation of Actual Net Working Capital
on the Adjustment Date, then the Vendors shall indemnify the Purchaser for any
claims made by the Employees in respect of such amounts in accordance with
Section 7.

            All wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, severance
compensation, payments under Employee Plans and other remuneration and benefits
due to Employees terminated on or after the Time of Closing shall be the
responsibility of the Purchaser. Subject to the immediately following paragraph,
the Purchaser shall pay as severance compensation, at a minimum, at least the
equivalent of three weeks of pay per year of employment for each Employee other
than the Corporation's Chief Financial Officer.

            For a period of one year from the Closing Date (such period ending
on the "ANNIVERSARY DATE"), the Purchaser shall be responsible for all severance
compensation relating to the period prior to Closing for the Chief Financial
Officer pursuant to his employment agreement with the Corporation dated February
3, 2003 (to a maximum of $154,500, subject to the immediately following
sentence). For the period from the Closing Date until the Anniversary Date, the
Vendors shall be responsible for all severance compensation in excess of
$154,500, except (i) if the Corporation chooses, and is not required, to pay
such excess to the Chief Financial Officer or (ii) if a court, tribunal,
administrative agency, or other similar body determines that there was bad faith
in the manner of termination of the Chief Financial Officer and awards
additional damages based on that finding. From the Anniversary Date, the
Purchaser shall be responsible for all severance compensation relating to the
period prior to Closing for the Chief Financial Officer as required by
applicable employment Laws.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

7.1         INDEMNIFICATION BY VENDORS

            Subject to Section 7.5, the Vendors covenant and agree with the
Purchaser to indemnify and save harmless the Purchaser from and against any
claim, demand, action, cause of action, damage, loss, cost, liability or expense
(including professional fees and disbursements) (the "LOSSES") which may be made
or brought against the Purchaser, or which it may suffer or incur in respect of,
as a result of, or arising out of:

     (a)  any nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of the
          Vendors contained in this Agreement or any document or certificate
          given pursuant to this Agreement;

     (b)  any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the
          Vendors contained in this Agreement or any document or certificate
          given pursuant to this Agreement;

     (c)  any debts and liabilities of the Corporation or the Subsidiary for
          Taxes existing at the Time of Closing, or any reassessment for Taxes
          for any period ending on or before the Closing Date; or

     (d)  any claim by any former securityholder of the Corporation involving
          the transactions contemplated hereby or any prior transaction
          involving any securities of the Corporation or any predecessor
          corporation.

<PAGE>

7.2         INDEMNIFICATION BY THE PURCHASER

            The Purchaser covenants and agrees with the Vendors to indemnify and
save harmless the Vendors, from and against any Losses which may be made or
brought against the Vendors or which it may suffer or incur, directly or
indirectly, in respect of, as a result of, or arising out of:

     (a)  any nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of the
          Purchaser under this Agreement or any document or certificate given
          pursuant to this Agreement; or

     (b)  any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the
          Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any document or certificate
          given pursuant to this Agreement.

7.3         PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION

     (a)  CLAIMS OTHER THAN THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

            Following receipt from the Vendors or the Purchaser, as the case may
be (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), of a written notice of a claim for indemnification
which has not arisen in respect of a Third Party Claim (as defined in Section
7.3(b) below), the party who is in receipt of such notice (the "INDEMNIFYING
PARTY") shall have 30 days to make such investigation of the claim as the
Indemnifying Party considers desirable. For the purpose of such investigation,
the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the
information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the claim. If
the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the
expiration of such 30 day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof)
to the validity and amount of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall
immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the undisputed amount.

     (b)  THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

            The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing
as soon as is reasonably practicable after being informed in writing that facts
exist which may result in a claim originating from a Person other than the
Indemnified Party (a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM") and in respect of which a right of
indemnification given pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 may apply. The Indemnifying
Party shall have the right to elect, by written notice delivered to the
Indemnified Party within 10 days of receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the
notice from the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, at the
sole expense of the Indemnifying Party, to participate in or assume control of
the negotiation, settlement or defence of the Third Party Claim, provided that:

               (i)   such will be done at all times in a diligent and bona fide
                     matter;

               (ii)  the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its
                     obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance
                     with the terms contained in this Agreement in respect of
                     that Third Party Claim; and

               (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall pay all reasonable
                     out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party as
                     a result of such participation or assumption.

If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party
shall co-operate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel and shall have the
right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third
Party Claim at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not so elect or,
having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to proceed with the
settlement or defence of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall
be entitled to assume such control. In such case, the Indemnifying Party shall
co-operate where necessary with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in
connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound
by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third
Party Claim.

7.4         ADDITIONAL RULES AND PROCEDURES

                        The obligation of the parties to indemnify each other
pursuant to this Article 7 shall also be subject to the following:

     (a)  an Indemnified Party shall only be entitled to make a claim for
          indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as the case
          be, if written notice containing reasonable particulars of

<PAGE>
                                       -9-

          such claim is delivered to the Indemnifying Party within the time
          periods provided for in Section 4.4 and Section 4.5, as the case may
          be;

     (b)  if any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified
          Party is required by applicable law to make a payment to any Person (a
          "THIRD PARTY") with respect to such Third Party Claim before the
          completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings,
          the Indemnified Party may make such payment and the Indemnifying Party
          shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the
          Indemnified Party for any such payment. If the amount of any liability
          under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such a payment was
          made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by
          the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party
          shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party,
          pay such difference to the Indemnifying Party;

     (c)  except in the circumstances contemplated by Section 7.4(b) above, and
          whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the
          negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim, the
          Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim
          except with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which
          consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);

     (d)  the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall provide each
          other on an ongoing basis with all information which may be relevant
          to the other's liability hereunder and shall supply copies of all
          relevant documentation promptly as they become available;

     (e)  any and all claims for indemnification shall be subject to the
          limitations set forth in Section 7.5;

     (f)  The Indemnified Party shall present any insurance claims which cover
          all or part of the Losses to its insurer in a due and timely fashion.
          No Indemnifying Party shall have any obligation to indemnify any
          Indemnified Party under this Section 7 to the extent any net insurance
          proceeds ("net insurance proceeds" means insurance proceeds net of all
          costs of recovery and net of all Taxes in connection therewith)
          received by such Indemnified Party are in respect of and compensate
          such Indemnified Party in respect of any of its Losses hereunder. If
          any such net insurance proceeds are received by an Indemnified Party
          following any payment hereunder of any Losses by an Indemnifying
          Party, the Indemnified Party receiving such net insurance proceeds
          shall promptly remit same to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of
          such payment made hereunder by such Indemnifying Party.

7.5         LIMITATIONS, RIGHTS CUMULATIVE

     (a)  Subject to Section 3.4 and the terms of the Escrow Agreement, no claim
          for indemnification may be made until the value of all such claims
          exceeds $50,000 in the aggregate (the "THRESHOLD") and upon the
          Threshold being exceeded once, the amount then claimable shall be the
          entire amount of claims and not only the amount in excess of the
          Threshold; provided, however, that claims based on: (A) an inaccuracy
          in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in Sections
          1(r) or Section 2 of Schedule D; or (B) fraudulent acts or wilful
          misconduct, shall not be subject to the foregoing limitation.

     (b)  Subject to paragraph 7.5(c), the maximum amount of monetary liability
          of any Vendor with regard to the indemnification or any other
          obligations of such Vendor contained in this Agreement shall not
          exceed that Vendor's portion of the Escrowed Funds as specified in
          Schedule "A".

     (c)  With respect to any claim based on: (A) an inaccuracy in or breach of
          any representation or warranty contained in Section 2 of Schedule D;
          or (B) fraudulent acts or wilful misconducts of such Vendor, the
          maximum amount of monetary liability of such Vendor with regard to the
          indemnification or any other obligations of such Vendor contained in
          this Agreement shall not exceed such Vendor's portion of the Purchase
          Price (being the sum of such Vendor's portion

<PAGE>
                                      -10-

          of the Cash Payment and portion of the Escrowed Funds), as specified
          in Schedule "A". For the avoidance of doubt, the liability of any
          Vendor under any claim referred to in this paragraph 7.5(c) is several
          (and not joint and several) and no Vendor shall be responsible for any
          inaccuracy or breach by any other Vendor of the representations and
          warranties in Section 2 of Schedule D or for the fraudulent acts or
          wilful misconduct of any other Vendor.

     (d)  The maximum amount of liability stipulated in paragraph (b) above
          shall apply whether or not some or all of the Escrowed Funds have been
          released to the Vendors or paid to the Purchaser in accordance with
          the Escrow Agreement, and such release or distribution in accordance
          with the Escrow Agreement shall not in any way limit the rights or
          remedies of the Purchaser under this Article 7.

     (e)  Subject in all cases to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.5,
          the rights of indemnification contained in this Article 7 are
          cumulative and are in addition to every other right or remedy of the
          parties contained in this Agreement.

7.6         GST

            If the Vendors and the Purchaser acting reasonably determine that
any payment (the "PAYMENT") made pursuant to this Article 7 is subject to GST or
are deemed by the ETA to be inclusive of GST, the Indemnifying Party agrees to
pay to the Indemnified Party in addition to the Payment an amount equal to the
Payment multiplied by the applicable rate of GST.

7.7         VENDORS' REPRESENTATIVE

     (a)  The Vendors irrevocably make, constitute and appoint both of Marc
          Benoit and David Hood as their agents (collectively, the "VENDORS'
          REPRESENTATIVE") and authorize and empower them, acting together, to
          fulfill the role of Vendors' Representative hereunder. In the event of
          the resignation of a Vendors' Representative, the resigning Vendors'
          Representative shall appoint a successor either from among the Vendors
          or who shall otherwise be acceptable to the Purchaser and who shall
          agree in writing to accept such appointment, and the resigning
          Vendors' Representative's resignation shall not be effective until
          such a successor shall exist. If a Vendors' Representative should die
          or become incapacitated, his successor shall be appointed within 30
          days of his death or incapacity by a majority in interest of the
          Vendors, and such successor either shall be a Vendor or shall
          otherwise be acceptable to the Purchaser. The choice of a successor
          Vendors' Representative appointed in any manner permitted above shall
          be final and binding upon all of the Vendors. The decisions and
          actions of any successor Vendors' Representative shall be, for the
          purposes set forth in this Section 7.7, those of a Vendors'
          Representative as if originally named herein.

     (b)  Each Vendor has made, constituted and appointed and by the execution
          of this Agreement hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints
          the Vendors' Representative as such person's true and lawful attorney
          in fact and agent, for such person and in such person's name for the
          following limited purposes: (1) to receive all notices and
          communications directed to such Vendor in connection with any claim
          (other than claims respecting fraud or wilful misconduct of any Vendor
          or any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty
          contained in Section 2 of Schedule D) for which there are sufficient
          Escrowed Funds to satisfy such claim (an "ESCROW Claim") and to take
          any action (or to determine to take no action) with respect thereto as
          he may deem appropriate as effectively as such Vendor could act for
          himself or herself, including without limitation, the settlement or
          compromise of any such Escrow Claim, and (2) to execute and deliver
          all instruments and documents of every kind incident to an Escrow
          Claim to all intents and purposes and with the same effect as such
          Vendor could do personally, and each such Vendor hereby ratifies and
          confirms as his or her own act, all that the Vendors' Representative
          shall do or cause to be done pursuant to the provisions hereof. This
          irrevocable power of attorney is given for consideration and coupled
          with an interest. Subject to Section 7.7(f), all notices and

<PAGE>
                                      -11-

          communications directed to Vendors under this Agreement shall be given
          to the Vendors' Representative.

     (c)  The death or incapacity of any Vendor shall not terminate the
          authority and agency of the Vendors' Representative.

     (d)  The Vendors hereby agree to indemnify the Vendors' Representative and
          to hold him harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred
          without grossly negligent conduct or bad faith on the part of the
          Vendors' Representative and arising out of or in connection with his
          duties as Vendors' Representative, including the costs and expenses
          incurred by such Vendors' Representative in defending against any
          claim of liability in connection herewith.

     (e)  All costs and expenses incurred by the Vendors' Representative in
          fulfilling his role under this Agreement shall be paid by the Vendors
          pro rata in accordance with the allocation of the Purchase Price as
          specified in Schedule "A".

     (f)  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Vendors' Representative
          shall have no authority to receive notices or communications, take any
          action on behalf of, or bind any Vendor in connection with: (i) any
          claim for which the liability of such Vendor could exceed the Escrowed
          Funds held in escrow at such time or otherwise involve the payment of
          funds by such Vendor other than funds then held in escrow; or (ii) any
          claim respecting fraud or wilful misconduct of any Vendor or any
          inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in
          Section 2 of Schedule D.

7.8         SERVICE OF PROCESS, CONSENT TO JURISDICTION, ETC.

            Each party irrevocably and unconditionally (1) agrees that any suit,
action or other legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement may be brought in
the Courts of Ontario; (2) consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any
such suit, action or proceeding; and (3) waives any objection which such Vendor
may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any
such court.

                    subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction,
                    judgement or decree of any court or government agency or

                    decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality
                    which has had or would have a Material Adverse Effect or
                    that questions the validity of the Transaction Documents or
                    the right of the Corporation or the Vendors to enter into
                    them or to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
                    Transaction Documents. There is no action, suit, proceeding
                    or investigation by the Corporation pending or which the
                    Corporation intends to initiate. The foregoing includes,

                    investigations pending or threatened in writing (or any
                    basis therefor known to the Corporation or the Vendors)
                    involving the prior employment of any of the Corporation's
                    employees, their services provided in connection with the
                    Business, or information or techniques allegedly proprietary
                    to any of their former employers, or their obligations under
                    any agreements with prior employers.

            (G)  INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

                    (i)  The Disclosure Schedule contains a true and complete
                         list of all Intellectual Property Rights that have been
                         registered, or for which applications for registration
                         have been filed, in any jurisdiction.

                    (ii) The Corporation is the exclusive owner of the
                         Technology and all right, title and interest in and to
                         the Technology, free and clear of all Encumbrances
                         (other than the Permitted Encumbrances), and none of
                         the Vendors have any Knowledge of any claim of adverse
                         ownership in any Technology.

                    (iii) The Intellectual Property Rights are in full force and
                         effect and have not been used or enforced or failed to
                         be used or enforced in a manner that would result in
                         the abandonment, cancellation or unenforceability of
                         any of the Intellectual Property Rights, the loss of
                         which would have a Material Adverse Effect. All
                         registrations and filings necessary to preserve the
                         rights of the Corporation in and to the Intellectual
                         Property Rights have been made except where the failure
                         to so register and/or file would not have a Material
                         Adverse Effect.

                    (iv) The Technology is sufficient to enable the Corporation
                         to carry on, in all material respects, the Business.

                    (v)  Except as described in the Disclosure Schedule, to the
                         Knowledge of the Vendors, there is no:

                         (A)  claim of adverse ownership or invalidity or other
                              opposition to or conflict with any of the
                              Technology nor any pending or threatened suit,
                              proceeding, claim, demand, action or investigation
                              of any nature or kind against the Corporation
                              relating to the Technology; and

                         (B)  claim that any products developed, manufactured,
                              produced, used or sold by the Corporation or any
                              process, method, packaging, advertising, or
                              material that the Corporation employs in the
                              development, manufacture, marketing, or sale of
                              any such product, or the use of any of the
                              Technology breaches, violates, infringes or
                              interferes with any rights of any Person or
                              requires payment for the use of any intellectual
                              property right, know-how or technology of another
                              Person.

                    (vi) The Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and
                         correct list and brief description of all judgments,
                         covenants not to sue, permits, grants, franchises,
                         licenses to use and other agreements and arrangements
                         relating to any of the Technology owned or used by the
                         Corporation that bind, obligate or otherwise restrict
                         the Corporation.

                    (vii) Neither the Corporation nor any of the Vendors has any
                         Knowledge of any infringements of, or passing-off
                         related to, the Technology by third parties.

                    (viii) The Corporation has taken commercially reasonable
                         precautions and made commercially reasonable efforts to
                         protect the Corporation's trade secrets and secure the
                         confidentiality of its customer lists and other
                         proprietary information. The Corporation has not
                         disclosed its customer lists to any Person other than
                         the Purchaser and its authorized agents.

                    (ix) All licenses and distribution rights granted by the
                         Corporation to third parties limit the right of such
                         third parties to sub-license the product of such
                         licenses or distribution rights to end-users (except
                         for licenses or distribution rights granted with
                         respect to finished products sold without modification
                         or without the Corporation losing any Intellectual
                         Property Rights in such product) and, except as
                         described in the Disclosure Schedule, no such licenses
                         or distribution rights grant an exclusive right to such
                         license or distribution right.

            (H)  COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS

            (a)  Neither the Corporation nor the Subsidiary is in violation or
                 default (i) of any provisions of its constating documents or
                 by-laws, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or
                 decree, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage, or (iv)

                 regulation applicable to the Corporation or the Subsidiary, as
                 the case may be, the violation of which would have a Material
                 Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of the
                 Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions
                 contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not result in
                 any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with
                 or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (i)
                 a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment,
                 order, writ, decree, Contract or agreement or (ii) an event
                 which results in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any
                 assets of the Corporation or the Subsidiary, as the case may
                 be, or the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, or non renewal
                 of any material permit or license applicable to the Corporation
                 or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, which would have a
                 Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Vendors,
                 except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, no Consent is
                 required to be obtained by the Vendors or the Corporation, or

                 contemplated hereby.

                         which any such employee is now obligated, other than
                         such violations that would not have a Material Adverse

                         Canadian-controlled private corporation within the

                         experimental development investment tax credit ("SRED")

                    (iii) The Corporation's sred claims are completely and
                         accurately disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule. No

                 any premium or compliance with any of the provisions contained

                 required to or, in order to maintain its coverage, should give
                 any notice to the insurers under any such insurance policies
                 which has not been given. The Corporation has not received
                 notice from any of the insurers regarding cancellation of such
                 insurance policies. The Corporation has not failed to present
                 any claim under any such insurance policy in a due and timely
                 fashion. The Corporation has not received notice from any of

                 Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Vendors, the
                 Corporation is not in default in any material respect under any
                 of such franchises, permits, licenses or other similar

                 material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in
