which are due and owing to the Lenders under this Agreement, (ii) second, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to pay any claims or losses referred to in Section 9.6, (iii) third, in the pro rata reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to pay any amounts due and owing to the Lenders on account of the principal amount of the respective Loans, (iv) fourth, in the pro rata reduction of any other obligation of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (v) fifth, to the Borrower or such other Persons as may lawfully be entitled to or directed to receive the remainder.

2.8 Currency Indemnity

     Amounts owing under the U.S. Dollar Loan shall be repaid by the Borrower to the U.S. Lender in U.S. Dollars and amounts owing under the Euro Loan shall be repaid by the Borrower to the Euro Lender in Euros. Any payment on account of an amount payable under any Loan Document in a particular currency (the “proper currency”) made to or for the account of a Lender in a currency (the “other currency”) other than the proper currency, whether pursuant to a judgement or order of any court or tribunal or otherwise and whether arising from the conversion of any amount denominated in one currency into any other currency for the purpose of making or filing a claim, obtaining an order or judgement, enforcing an order or judgement or otherwise, shall constitute a discharge of the Borrower’s obligation to such Lender under such Loan Document only to the extent of the amount of the proper currency which such Lender is able, in the normal course of its business within one Business Day after receipt by it of such payment, to purchase with the amount of the other currency so received. If the amount of the proper currency which such Lender is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the proper currency originally due to it under such Loan Document, the Borrower shall indemnify and save such Lender harmless from and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from any other obligation contained in any Loan Document, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by either Lender from time to time, shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgement or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under any Loan Document or under any judgement or order and shall not merge in any order of foreclosure made in respect of any Security or other security given to or for the benefit of the Lender. If the amount of the proper currency which a Lender so purchases after receipt by it of such amount is greater than the amount of the proper currency originally due to it under the Loan Documents such excess amount shall be repaid to the Borrower.

2.9 Taxes

     If the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from any payments of interest by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder, then (i) the Borrower shall make such deduction, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable law. The Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Lender a copy of the Form NR4 or other information return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment of such Indemnified Taxes.

-17-

     Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

     Each Lender shall take all steps reasonable necessary to claim from all applicable Governmental Entities having taxing jurisdiction over such Lender or its business a credit against or remission for or deduction from or other available relief with respect to any Indemnified Taxes deducted by the Borrower and paid by the Borrower to an applicable Governmental Entity as provided for above (any of the foregoing being a “saving”). To the extent that the amount of any saving from which a lender benefits is less than the amount of the applicable Indemnified Taxes so deducted by the Borrower and paid to the applicable Governmental Entity (any such amount being the “saving deficiency”), the Borrower will, promptly following receipt of a written certificate from the applicable Lender detailing such saving deficiency pay to the applicable Lender the amount of the applicable saving deficiency. A Lender shall not be considered to have benefited from any saving which has ceased to be available due to the expiry of the carry forward period for such saving, if applicable, and shall be considered to have realized any resulting deficiency resulting therefrom at the time of such expiry.

     In this section the following terms have the following meanings, namely:

     “Indemnified Taxes” means all Taxes other than Excluded Taxes.

     “Excluded Taxes” means, in relation to either Lender, those taxes on income, net income or capital or franchise taxes which are imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction solely as a result of such Lender (a) being organized under the laws of such jurisdiction or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction, (b) having its principal office or lending office in such jurisdiction, (c) being resident in such jurisdiction, or (d) carrying on business in such jurisdiction with the Borrower, or which would not have been imposed had such Lender satisfied a relevant authority that such Lender was not a Person mentioned in clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above.

     “Taxes” means taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any kind or nature whatsoever or any instalments, interest or penalties payable with respect thereto now or in the future imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by Canada or any political subdivision of Canada.

ARTICLE 3
LENDERS’ CONVERSION RIGHT

     Subject to obtaining the consent of the TSX to the Conversion Right as referred to in Section 5.2(c) and subject to Section 3.2, each Lender shall have the right (the “Conversion

-18-

Right”), at such Lender’s sole option, at any time and from time to time prior to the repayment in full of the Maturity Amounts, to convert all or any part of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan from such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (which, if less than the entire unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest under such Loan, is U.S. $100,000 (in the case of the U.S. Dollar Loan) or €100,000 (in the case of the Euro Loan), or an amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of U.S. $100 or €100, as the case may be, into that number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares equal to the amount of the outstanding principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon) in respect of which the Conversion Right is exercised (in U.S. Dollars for a conversion under the U.S. Dollar Loan and the Equivalent Amount thereof in U.S. Dollars for a conversion under the Euro Loan), divided by the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion Date. The Lenders and the Borrower agree that such a conversion shall constitute a subscription by the applicable Lender for the Common Shares at the Conversion Price and a set-off of the subscription price owing against the principal amount (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) that is the subject of the conversion, and that such set-off shall constitute payment in full of both such subscription price and such principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

     For the purposes of this Agreement, “Conversion Price” means (A) with respect to any conversion to be effective on any Conversion Date on or before December 31, 2004, U.S. $8.00 per Common Share, and (B) with respect to any conversion to be effective on any Conversion Date after December 31, 2004, the lesser of (i) U.S.$8.00 per Common Share and (ii) the market price per Common Share on the Conversion Date for the applicable conversion. For the purposes hereof, “market price” shall mean the weigheted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable Conversion Date.

3.2 Limitation on Conversion Right

     Under no circumstances may either Lender exercise the Conversion Right in a manner which would result, following the exercise of the Conversion Right, in the Lenders holding in excess of 19.9% of the total number of the then issued and outstanding voting and participating shares of the Borrower (the “Borrower Shares”). Where the exercise of a Conversion Right would cause the Lenders to hold in excess of 19.9% of the Borrower Shares, the Conversion Right shall be exercised only in respect of that portion of the Maturity Amount which would result in the Lenders holding 19.9% of the Borrower Shares or, pursuant to Section 3.1, the next lowest whole number of such shares; the balance of the Maturity Amount, that, but for this Section 3.2, would be converted into Borrower Shares, (i) may not be subject to any Conversion Right and (ii) shall remain outstanding hereunder subject to being repaid by the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof.

3.3 Conversion Right Exercise Procedure

     In order to exercise the Conversion Right, a Lender shall, prior to the repayment in full of the Maturity Amounts under such Lender’s Loan, deliver to the Borrower a written notice substantially in the form set out in Schedule 3.3 hereto (a “Conversion Notice”), duly signed by

Any text removed pursuant to Dassault Systèmes’ confidential treatment request has been separately filed

-19-

such Lender or its legal representatives or its attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing specifying the principal amount, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of the Loan to be converted (the “Conversion Amount”) and the date (the “Conversion Date”) upon which the conversion is to become effective. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, upon delivery of such written notice to the Borrower by a Lender:

	(a)		the applicable Lender shall be deemed for all purposes to have subscribed for the number of Common Shares which such Lender shall be entitled to receive pursuant to the exercise of such Conversion Right by such Lender;
	(b)		the applicable Lender shall have, and shall be deemed for all purposes to have, agreed with the Borrower to set-off effective as of the Conversion Date from all liability with respect to the Conversion Amount against payment of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date for the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion; and
	(c)		such set-off of the Conversion Amount shall constitute full payment of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date for the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion.

     As promptly as practicable after a Conversion Date, and in no event more than fourteen (14) days following the Conversion Date, the Borrower shall issue or cause to be issued and deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable Lender a certificate or certificates in the name such Lender for the number of Common Shares deliverable upon the applicable conversion and provision shall be made in respect of any fraction of a share as provided for below. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the Conversion Date and, at that time, all rights of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents in respect of the Conversion Amount shall cease and the applicable Lender shall be deemed to have become on such date the holder of record of the Common Shares issuable to it upon such conversion; provided, however, that, if the Conversion Date is a date on which the transfer registers for Common Shares is closed, the applicable Lender shall become the holder of record thereof for all purposes at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the next succeeding date on which such transfer registers are open. No payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any dividends on the Common Shares issuable upon conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the Borrower shall in no case be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon any conversion of all or any portion of any Loan. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of the preceding sentence, be deliverable upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall satisfy such fractional interest by payment to the applicable Lender of a cash amount equal (to the nearest cent or Equivalent Amount to such cent) to the product of such fractional interest and the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion Date. The Borrower warrants and covenants that all Common Shares issued upon exercise of a Conversion Right shall be duly and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable.

3.4 Adjustments

     If following the date of this Agreement, but prior to any applicable Conversion Date the Borrower (i) pays a dividend in Common Shares or makes a distribution of Common Shares, in either case to holders of Common Shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Common Shares, (iii) combines its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification or reorganization other securities of the Borrower to all holders of Common Shares, the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such Conversion Right and the purchase price per share shall be adjusted as determined by the board of directors of the Borrower in its sole discretion so that the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Borrower to be issued to the applicable Lender on the exercise of such Conversion Right shall be the same kind and number of Common Shares or other securities of the Borrower which such Lender would be entitled to if the applicable conversion had taken place immediately prior to the event or record date with respect to the actions in clauses (i) to (iv) above.

3.5 Receipt

     Upon completion of the exercise of each Conversion Right, the applicable Lender shall issue a receipt addressed to the Borrower acknowledging receipt of the applicable Common Shares.

3.6 Right of First Offer

     So long as (i) any amounts are owing to a Lender under the Loan Documents, or (ii) the Lender or any of its Subsidiaries owns five percent (5%) or more of the Borrower Shares, the Borrower shall provide the Euro Lender with prior written notice (a “Notice of Sale”) of any proposal by the Borrower to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of (otherwise than pursuant to a Permitted Merger or pursuant to a sale, transfer or other disposition to a Subsidiary of the Borrower) any assets or portion of the business of the Borrower (detailing the assets concerned) representing, in either case, in excess of 10% of the consolidated revenues of the Borrower, determined in accordance with the most recent audited financial statements of the Borrower (the “Right of First Offer”). The Borrower shall not dispose of the assets or business described in the Notice of Sale, in whole or in part, until the earliest of (i) its receipt of a written offer from the Euro Lender or any of its Subsidiaries to purchase such assets or business from the Borrower (in which case the Borrower may dispose of such assets or business to the Euro Lender pursuant to such offer to purchase or to any other Person for aggregate consideration which in the good faith opinion reasonably held of the Borrower is greater than the consideration to be paid by the Euro Lender pursuant to its offer to purchase); (ii) its receipt of a written notice from the Euro Lender that the Euro Lender does not wish to make an offer to purchase the assets, or (iii) 45 days following delivery of the Notice of Sale to the Euro Lender.

ARTICLE 4
INTEREST

4.1 Interest

     From and after the Closing Date, the unpaid balance of each Loan, from time to time, shall bear interest in respect of each day, both before and after an Event of Default or judgment, at a rate of five and one half percent (5.5%) per annum compounded quarterly (for the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada) the effective annual rate of interest is 5.58% per annum) (the “Fixed Rate”). Such interest shall be calculated (and compounded) quarterly in arrears, in U.S. Dollars in the case of the U.S. Dollar Loan and in Euros in the case of the Euro Loan, and payable on the first Business Day of each Financial Quarter commencing on the first Business Day of January 2004 until all amounts owing to the Lenders hereunder have been paid in full. For greater certainty and without limitation, interest shall begin accruing on each Tranche of a Loan as of the date on which such Tranche is advanced to the Borrower; the first payment of interest on each Tranche of the Loans shall be made on the first Business Day of January 2004 (which is the first Business Day of the first Financial Quarter of 2004) which payment shall represent the interest accrued between the date on which such Tranche was advanced to the Borrower and the first Business Day of January 2004. The second payment of interest under each Tranche of the Loans shall be made on the first Business Day of the second Financial Quarter of 2004 which payment shall represent the interest accrued on the Loans between the first Business Day of January 2004 and the first Business Day of the second Financial Quarter of 2004 and so on for subsequent Financial Quarters.

     For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or other amount under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

9.6 Costs, Expenses and Indemnity

	(a)		The Borrower shall, whether or not the transaction contemplated in this Agreement are completed, indemnify and hold the Lenders and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from, and shall pay to such Indemnified Person on demand, any amounts required to compensate the Indemnified Person for, any claim or loss suffered by, imposed on, or asserted against, the Indemnified Person as a result of, connected with or arising out of (i) a default (whether or not constituting a Default or an Event of Default) by the Borrower, (ii) any proceedings brought against the Indemnified Person due to its entering into of any of the Loan Documents and performing its obligations under the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of an Indemnified Person, and (iii) the presence at, on or under or the discharge or likely discharge of contaminants from any of the Subject Properties or any of the properties now or previously used by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the breach by or non-compliance with any Environmental Law by any mortgagor, owner, or lessee of such properties, except to the extent that any of the same have been caused by an Indemnified Party.

9.7 Successors and Assigns

	(a)		This Agreement shall become effective when executed by the Borrower and the Lender and after that time shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
	(b)		Except for Permitted Mergers, the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any interest in this Agreement without the prior consent of the Lender, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld.
	(c)		Subject to the next sentence, neither the Lender shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under any Loan Document or any interest in any Loan Document without the prior consent of the Borrower, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld, unless such assignment is to a Subsidiary of the Euro Lender, in which case no consent of the Borrower is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time following the second anniversary of the Closing Date either Lender may assign all or any part of its interest in its Loan (but for greater certainty not in any other right or entitlement under any Loan Document) to (each an “Assignee”) (i) one or more Persons that is not a competitor of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or (ii) a Person that is a competitor of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, if such Person acquires the Euro Lender or is acquired by the Euro Lender, or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to a Change of Control of such Person or the Euro Lender, as the case may be, without any requirement for notice to, or consent of, the Borrower or any other Person. Upon an assignment, (i) the Borrower shall assign any and all benefit of all Security to the Assignee and (ii) the Assignee shall have the same rights and benefits and be subject to the same limitations under the Loan Documents with respect to such Loan (but for greater certainty not with respect to any other right or entitlement under any Loan Documents) as it would have if it was the applicable Lender, provided that no Assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater payment, on a cumulative basis, pursuant to Section 9.6 than the Lender which granted the assignment would have been entitled to receive.
	(d)		The Borrower shall provide such certificates, acknowledgements and further assurances in respect of this Agreement and the Loans as the Representative Lender may reasonably require in connection with any assignment, pursuant to this Section 9.7.
	(e)		In the case of an assignment, the applicable Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Borrower shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement pursuant to which the Assignee assumes the obligations of the applicable Lender and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all as if the Assignee had been an original party. Upon receipt by the applicable Lender of the assignment and assumption agreement, the assigning Lender and the Borrower shall be released from their respective obligations under this Agreement (to the

- 45 -

			extent of such assignment and assumption) and shall have no liability or obligations to each other to such extent, except in respect of matters arising prior to the assignment.
	(f)		Any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.7 will not constitute a repayment by the Borrower to the assigning or granting Lender of a Loan nor a new loan to the Borrower by the applicable Lender or by the Assignee and the parties acknowledge that the Borrower’s obligations with respect to such Loan will continue and will not constitute new obligations.

9.8 Right of Set-off.

     Each party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply the amount owed, due and exigible by the other hereunder to it hereunder against any and all of its obligations to the other party hereunder or pursuant to any other agreement entered into between the parties or otherwise, as the case may be, irrespective of whether or not demand shall have been made. The rights of the parties under this Section 9.8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the parties may have. Each party acknowledges that it would be inequitable and unconscionable not to allow the non-defaulting party a right of set-off.

9.9 Postponement and Subordination Arrangements

     All Liens (“Senior Creditor Security”) from time to time securing any indebtedness or liabilities (“Senior Liabilities”) that become outstanding following the Closing Date under a Permitted Senior Credit Facility over any business, property or asset of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than any Specific Collateral) (any such business, property or asset other than any Specific Collateral being “Applicable Property”) shall have full and absolute priority over each and every item of any Lien (such Liens, excluding the Borrower’s Specific Security Agreements being, collectively, “Loan Agreement Security”) over any Applicable Property securing any indebtedness or liability (“Loan Agreement Liabilities”) owing to the Lenders under any Loan Documents and each and every item of the Loan Agreement Security over the Applicable Property shall rank subordinate and junior to each item of the Senior Creditor Security over the Applicable Property in respect of an aggregate maximum principal amount of Senior Liabilities at any time prior to the Specific Security Delivery Date, of Cdn. $10,000,000 (or the Equivalent Amount in any other currencies), and at any time on or after the Specific Security Delivery Date of U.S. $22,000,000 (or the Equivalent Amount in any other currencies), together in each such case with all interest, fees, costs and expenses from time constituting Senior Liabilities (collectively the “Maximum Senior Liability Amount”). All net proceeds of realization resulting from the enforcement of any Senior Creditor Security or Loan Agreement Security against any Applicable Property, all dividends, payments and other distributions made with respect to the Senior Creditor Security or the Loan Agreement Security relative to any Applicable Property under or with respect to any proceeding relative to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and all insurance, reimbursement, indemnity and similar proceeds with respect to any Applicable Property, to a maximum of the Maximum Senior Liability Amount, shall be applied first to the payment of all Senior Liabilities to a maximum of the Maximum Senior

Liability Amount and only after repayment in cash of the Maximum Senior Liability Amount will any proceeds of realization from the enforcement of any Loan Agreement Security, any dividends, payments or other distributions made with respect to the Loan Agreement Security under or with respect to any proceeding relative to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any insurance, reimbursement, indemnity or similar proceeds, in any such case with respect to any Applicable Property, be available to satisfy any Loan Agreement Liabilities. Notwithstanding any priority to which any creditor (a “Senior Creditor”) under a Permitted Senior Credit Facility and the Lenders may be or become entitled for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, any of the matters listed below) relative to any Applicable Property, the Senior Creditor Security does hereby and shall have full and absolute priority over, and shall rank as senior security to, the Loan Agreement Security with respect to all of the Applicable Property until all of the Senior Liabilities (up to the Maximum Senior Liability Amount) are paid and satisfied in full in cash and all agreements or obligations on the part of the Senior Creditors pursuant to the Permitted Senior Credit Facilities to make further financial accommodation available to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall have been terminated. The rights of the Senior Creditors and the priorities and subordinations provided for in this Section shall apply irrespective of any act, matter or thing of any kind, nature or description whatsoever including, without limitation (i) the time or sequence of creation, granting, execution, delivery or registration of any security document; (ii) the terms or provisions of any Permitted Senior Credit Facility or Senior Creditor Security or any Loan Document or Loan Agreement Security, (iii) the attachment or perfection, or the non-perfection, of any Lien; (iv) the time or sequence of any advances of any Senior Liability or any Loan Agreement Liability; (v) the time or sequence of any demand, default or event of default, enforcement or crystalization under any Permitted Senior Credit Facility or Senior Creditor Security or any Loan Document or Loan Agreement Security; or (vi) any other factor of legal relevance that would otherwise establish priorities. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Borrower is contracting on its own behalf and as trustee for each Senior Creditor and that each Senior Creditor shall be entitled as a third party beneficiary to rely on and enforce all of the undertakings, agreements, postponement and subordinations provided by the Lenders in this Section. The Borrower shall also obtain and hold the rights and benefits of this Section in trust for and on behalf of the Senior Creditors. The Lenders agree that they will from time to time at the request of the Borrower or any Senior Creditor, acting reasonably and in good faith, negotiate, execute and deliver a subordination and postponement agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the applicable Senior Creditors establishing to their satisfaction the priority of the Senior Creditor Security, and all proceeds with respect thereto, to the Loan Agreement Security as contemplated under this Section.

     For greater certainty, the provisions of this Section 9.9 shall operate without limitation to the rights of the Lenders under the Borrower’s Specific Security Agreements in respect of the Security of the Lenders over the Specific Collateral.

9.10 Recapitalization, Exchanges, etc., Affecting the Common Shares

     Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any and all Common Shares of the Borrower or any successor or assignee of the Borrower (whether

9.11 Governing Law

9.12 Counterparts and Facsimile

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
