     RBC, in its sole discretion, may declare all or any part of Indebtedness
which is not by its terms payable on demand to be immediately due and payable,
without demand or notice of any kind, in the event of default, or, if RBC
considers itself insecure or that the Collateral is in jeopardy. The provisions
of this clause are not intended in any way to affect any rights of RBC with
respect to any Indebtedness which may now or hereafter be payable on demand.

13.  REMEDIES

     (a) Upon default, RBC may appoint or reappoint by instrument in writing,
any person or persons, whether an officer or officers or an employee or
employees of RBC or not, to be a receiver or receivers (hereinafter called a
"Receiver", which term when used herein shall include a receiver and manager) of
Collateral (including any interest, income or profits therefrom) and may remove
any Receiver so appointed and appoint another in its stead. Any such Receiver
shall, so far as concerns responsibility for its acts, be deemed the agent of
Debtor and not RBC,

and RBC shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or
nonfeasance on the part of any such Receiver, its servants, agents or employees.
Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing it, any such Receiver
shall have power to take possession of Collateral, to preserve Collateral or its
value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of
Debtor and to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling,
leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of Collateral. To facilitate the
foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others,
including Debtor, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by
Debtor constituting Collateral or wherein Collateral may be situate, maintain
Collateral upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and
use Collateral directly in carrying on Debtor's business or as security for
loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on Debtor's business or
otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion, determine. Except as may
be otherwise directed by RBC, all Money received from time to time by such
Receiver in carrying out its appointment shall be received in trust for and paid
over to RBC. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of RBC, be vested with
all or any of the rights and powers of RBC.

     (b) Upon default, RBC may, either directly or through its agents or
nominees, exercise any or all of the powers and rights given to a Receiver by
virtue of the foregoing sub-clause (a).

     (c) RBC may take possession of, collect, demand, sue on, enforce, recover
and receive Collateral and give valid and binding receipts and discharges
therefor and in respect thereof and, upon default, RBC may sell, lease, license
or otherwise dispose of Collateral in such manner, at such time or times and
place or places, for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as to
RBC may seem reasonable.

     (d) In addition to those rights granted herein and in any other agreement
now or hereafter in effect between Debtor and RBC and in addition to any other
rights RBC may have at law or in equity, RBC shall have, both before and after
default, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the P.P.S.A. provided
always, that RBC shall not be liable or accountable for any failure to exercise
its remedies, take possession of, collect, enforce, realize, sell, lease,
license or otherwise dispose of Collateral or to institute any proceedings for
such purposes. Furthermore, RBC shall have no obligation to take any steps to
preserve rights against prior parties to any Instrument or Chattel Paper or
prior encumbrances on any Real Property whether Collateral or proceeds and
whether or not in RBC's possession and shall not be liable or accountable for
failure to do so.

     (e) Debtor acknowledges that RBC or any Receiver appointed by it may take
possession of Collateral wherever it may be located and by any method permitted
by law and Debtor agrees upon request from RBC or any such Receiver to assemble
and deliver possession of Collateral at such place or places as directed.

     (f) Debtor agrees to be liable for and to pay all costs, charges and
expenses incurred by RBC or any Receiver or agent appointed by it, whether
directly or for services rendered (including solicitors costs on a solicitor and
his own client basis and auditors costs and other legal expenses and Receiver
and agent remuneration), in operating Debtor's accounts, preparing or enforcing
this Security Agreement, inspecting and determining the state of the Collateral,

taking and maintaining custody of, preserving, repairing, processing, preparing
for disposition and disposing of Collateral and in enforcing or collecting
Indebtedness and all such costs, charges and expenses, together with any amounts
owing as a result of any borrowing by RBC or any Receiver appointed by it, as
permitted hereby, shall be a first charge on the proceeds of realization,
collection or disposition of Collateral and shall be secured hereby.

     (g) RBC will give Debtor such notice, if any, of the date, time and place
of any public sale or of the date after which any private disposition of
Collateral is to be made as may be required by the P.P.S.A. or other applicable
law.

     (h) Upon default and receiving written demand from RBC, Debtor shall take
such further action as may be necessary to evidence and effect an assignment or
licensing of Intellectual Property to whomsoever RBC directs, including to RBC.
Debtor appoints any officer or director or branch manager of RBC upon default to
be its attorney in accordance with applicable legislation with full power of
substitution and to do on Debtor's behalf anything that is required to assign,
license or transfer, and to record any assignment, licence or transfer of the
Collateral. This power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable until the release or discharge of the Security Interest.

14.  MISCELLANEOUS

     (a) Debtor hereby authorizes RBC to file such financing statements,
financing change statements, caveats, mortgages, forms, security notices and
other documents and do such acts, matters and things (including completing and
adding schedules hereto identifying Collateral or any permitted Encumbrances
affecting Collateral or identifying the locations at which Debtor's business is
carried on and Collateral and records relating thereto are situate) as RBC may
deem appropriate to perfect on an ongoing basis and continue the Security
Interest, to protect and preserve Collateral and to realize upon the Security
Interest and Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Manager or
Acting Manager from time to time of the herein mentioned branch of RBC the true
and lawful attorney of Debtor, with full power of substitution, to do any of the
foregoing in the name of Debtor whenever and wherever it may be deemed necessary
or expedient.

     (b) Without limiting any other right of RBC, whenever Indebtedness is
immediately due and payable or RBC has the right to declare Indebtedness to be
immediately due and payable (whether or not it has so declared), RBC may, in its
sole discretion, set off against Indebtedness any and all amounts then owed to
Debtor by RBC in any capacity, whether or not due, and RBC shall be deemed to
have exercised such right to set off immediately at the time of making its
decision to do so even though any charge therefor is made or entered on RBC's
records subsequent thereto.

     (c) Upon Debtor's failure to perform any of its duties hereunder, RBC may,
but shall not be obligated to, perform any or all of such duties, and Debtor
shall pay to RBC, forthwith upon written demand therefor, an amount equal to the
expense incurred by RBC in so doing plus interest thereon from the date such
expense is incurred until it is paid at the rate of 15% per annum.

     (d) RBC may grant extensions of time and other indulgences, take and give
up security, accept compositions, compound, compromise, settle, grant releases
and discharges and otherwise deal with Debtor, debtors of Debtor, sureties and
others and with Collateral and other security as RBC may see fit without
prejudice to the liability of Debtor or RBC's right to hold and realize the
Security Interest. Furthermore, RBC may demand, collect and sue on Collateral in
either Debtor's or RBC's name, at RBC's option, and may endorse Debtor's name on
any and all cheques, commercial paper, and any other Instruments pertaining to
or constituting Collateral.

     (e) No delay or omission by RBC in exercising any right or remedy hereunder
or with respect to any Indebtedness shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any
other right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. Furthermore, RBC may remedy any default by Debtor hereunder or with
respect to any Indebtedness in any reasonable manner without waiving the default
remedied and without waiving any other prior or subsequent default by Debtor.
All rights and remedies of RBC granted or recognized herein are cumulative and
may be exercised at any time and from time to time independently or in
combination.

     (f) Debtor waives protest of any Instrument constituting Collateral at any
time held by RBC on which Debtor is in any way liable and, subject to Clause 13
(g) hereof, notice of any other action taken by RBC.

     (g) This Security Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns. In any action brought by an assignee of this Security
Agreement and the Security Interest or any part thereof to enforce any rights
hereunder, Debtor shall not assert against the assignee any claim or defence
which Debtor now has or hereafter may have against RBC. If more than one Debtor
executes this Security Agreement the obligations of such Debtors hereunder shall
be joint and several and, unless the context otherwise requires, a reference to
"Debtor" herein shall be deemed to be a reference to each of the undersigned.

     (h) RBC may provide any financial and other information it has about
Debtor, the Security Interest and the Collateral to anyone acquiring or who may
acquire an interest in the Security Interest or the Collateral from RBC or
anyone acting on behalf of RBC.

     (i) Save for any schedules which may be added hereto pursuant to the
provisions hereof, no modification, variation or amendment of any provision of
this Security Agreement shall be made except by a written agreement, executed by
the parties hereto and no waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective
unless in writing.

     (j) Subject to the requirements of Clauses 13 (g) and 14 (k) hereof,
whenever either party hereto is required or entitled to notify or direct the
other or to make a demand or request upon the other, such notice, direction,
demand or request shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given, in the
case of RBC, if delivered to it or sent by prepaid registered mail addressed to
it at its address herein set forth or as changed pursuant hereto and, in the
case of Debtor, if delivered to it or if sent by prepaid registered mail
addressed to it at its last address known to RBC. Either party may notify the
other pursuant hereto of any change in such party's principal address to be used
for the purposes hereof.

     (k) This Security Agreement and the security afforded hereby is in addition
to and not in substitution for any other security now or hereafter held by RBC
and is intended to be a continuing Security Agreement and shall remain in full
force and effect until the Manager or Acting Manager from time to time of the
herein mentioned branch of RBC shall actually receive written notice of its
discontinuance; and, notwithstanding such notice, shall remain in full force and
effect thereafter until all Indebtedness contracted for or created before the
receipt of such notice by RBC, and any extensions or renewals thereof (whether
made before or after receipt of such notice) together with interest accruing
thereon after such notice, shall be paid in full.

     (l) The headings used in this Security Agreement are for convenience only
and are not to be considered a part of this Security Agreement and do not in any
way limit or amplify the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

     (m) When the context so requires, the singular number shall be read as if
the plural were expressed and the provisions hereof shall be read with all
grammatical changes necessary dependent upon the person referred to being a
male, female, firm or corporation.

     (n) In the event any provisions of this Security Agreement, as amended from
time to time, shall be deemed invalid or void, in whole or in part, by any Court
of competent jurisdiction, the remaining terms and provisions of this Security
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

     (o) Nothing herein contained shall in any way obligate RBC to grant,
continue, renew, extend time for payment of or accept anything which constitutes
or would constitute Indebtedness.

     (p) The Security Interest created hereby is intended to attach when this
Security Agreement is signed by Debtor and delivered to RBC.

     (q) Debtor acknowledges and agrees that in the event it amalgamates with
any other company or companies it is the intention of the parties hereto that
the term "Debtor" when used herein shall apply to each of the amalgamating
companies and to the amalgamated company, such that the Security Interest
granted hereby:

          (i)  shall extend to "Collateral" (as that term is herein defined)
               owned by each of the amalgamating companies and the amalgamated
               company at the time of amalgamation and to any "Collateral"
               thereafter owned or acquired by the amalgamated company; and

          (ii) shall secure the "Indebtedness" (as that term is herein defined)
               of each of the amalgamating companies and the amalgamated company
               to RBC at the time of amalgamation and any "Indebtedness" of the
               amalgamated company to RBC thereafter arising. The Security
               Interest shall attach to "Collateral" owned by each company
               amalgamating with Debtor, and by the amalgamated company, at the
               time of amalgamation, and shall attach to any "Collateral"
               thereafter owned or acquired by the amalgamated company when such
               becomes owned or is acquired.

     (r) In the event that Debtor is a body corporate, it is hereby agreed that
The Limitation of Civil Rights Act and The Land Contracts (Actions) Act of the
Province of Saskatchewan, or any provisions thereof, shall have no application
to this Security Agreement or any agreement or instrument renewing or extending
or collateral to this Security Agreement. In the event that Debtor is an
agricultural corporation within the meaning of The Saskatchewan Farm Security
Act, Debtor agrees with RBC that all of Part IV (other than Section 46) of that
Act shall not apply to Debtor.

     (s) This Security Agreement and the transactions evidenced hereby shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province where the
herein mentioned branch of RBC is located including, where applicable, the
P.P.S.A. and the Land Title Act.

15.  COPY OF AGREEMENT AND FINANCING STATEMENT

     (a) Debtor hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Security
Agreement.

     (b) Debtor waives Debtor's right to receive a copy of a financing statement
or financing change statement registered by RBC or any verification statement
pertaining to a registration by RBC.
