This Master Lease Agreement made as of _______________________, 2000,
('Agreement'), Including the terms and conditions on the following page and any
schedules and agreements herein, correctly sets forth the entire agreement
between CIT Financial LTD. ('Lessor') and Lessee. No agreements or
understandings shall be binding on either of the parties hereto unless in
writing and executed by the parties hereto.
1. Lease. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor
the personal or movable property (the 'Equipment') described in the lease
Schedule(s) (the 'Schedule') executed and to be executed by the parties and
attached hereto to form part hereof. Each Schedule shall constitute a
separate lease of Equipment and the provisions hereof will be deemed to be
a part thereof. In contemplation of entering into a Schedule Funding
Agreement providing for the acquisition of such Equipment by Lessor and at
the request of Lessee.
2. Term and Rental. The term of the lease for any Equipment ('Lease Term'),
its commencement date ('Lease Commencement Date') and the amount of the
rental ('Rental', together with the sales tax and goods and services tax
thereon, if applicable, and the terms of payment thereof, will be as
provided in the Schedule related to such Equipment. Lessee's obligation to
pay Rental and other amounts owing under a Schedule or hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional without any claim of setoff or compensation by
Lessee. Lessee shall not be permitted to prepay its Rentals or other
obligations. Lessee shall on the Lease Commencement Date pay Lessor the
number of advance rentals, if any, set forth in the Schedule. Such advance
rentals shall not constitute a security deposit and shall not be refundable
to Lessee under any circumstances, but shall be applied by Lessor against
subsequent Rentals in reverse order of maturity.
3. Use. Lessee will cause the Equipment to be operated in accordance with any
applicable manufacturer's manuals or instructions, by competent duly
qualified personnel. In accordance with applicable governmental
regulations, if any, and for business purposes only. Lessee agrees not to
remove the Equipment from its location as set forth in the related Schedule
without Lessor's prior written consent, provided that Equipment which is
mobile by nature shall be based at such location but may be operated away
from such location in ordinary course of Lessee's business.
4. Maintenance. Lessee assumes all risk of loss or damage to the Equipment by
any cause whatsoever from the date of shipment thereof until it is returned
to Lessor and the Schedule with respect to it is terminated, and agrees
that the Equipment will be installed and maintained in good operating
condition at Lessee's expense and returned to Lessor promptly at the expiry
of the Lease Term in good operating condition (ordinary wear and tear
excepted).
5. Alterations. Lessee may make alterations, additions or improvements to the
Equipment provided such alterations, additions or improvements shall not
decrease the value of the Equipment or impair its utility. Any alterations,
additions or improvements to the Equipment shall be at Lessee's expense and
shall belong to and become the property of Lessor subject to the terms of
this Agreement during the Lease Term of such Equipment. Lessee may remove
any such alterations, additions or improvements at the expiration of the
Lease Term of such Equipment, provided Lessee shall repair any damage to
the Equipment or the premises where located resulting from or occasioned by
such removal and provided after any such removal Lessee shall restore the
Equipment to its original state and condition (ordinary wear and tear
excepted).
6. Insurance. As and from the earlier of the date upon which Lessor pays any
part of the cost of an item of Equipment or acquires ownership of or title
to an item of Equipment or bears any risk, responsibility and liability
therefor and thereafter throughout the Lease Term of an item of Equipment.,
Lessee shall at its sole expense:
(a) insure the Equipment against all risks of physical loss or damage,
including without limitation loss by fire (including extended
coverage), theft, collision and such other risks of loss as are
customarily covered by insurance on such type of equipment by prudent
operators of businesses similar to that in which Lessee is engaged, in
such amounts, in such form and which such insurers as shall be
satisfactory to Lessor, but in no event shall such insurance be less
than an amount (the 'Loss Value') equal to the present value from time
to time of all unpaid amounts due as Rental or otherwise (including
the purchase option amount or any amounts due if the purchase option
is not exercised, if applicable) with respect to such Equipment,
calculated by discounting such amounts at the rate of six percent (6%)
per annum, which amount the parties agree represents an estimate of
the full replacement value of the Equipment from time to time during
the Lease Term.
(b) Maintain public liability and property damage insurance in respect of
the use, operation and possession of the Equipment and the ownership
thereof by Lessor with insurers satisfactory to Lessor in such form
and with such limits of liability as Lessor may form time to time
reasonably require.
Each insurance policy will name Lessee and Lessor as insureds will name
Lessor as an additional insured and loss payee thereof and shall contain a
clause requiring the insurer to five to Lessor at least 30 days' prior
written notice of any alteration in the terms of such policy or of the
cancellation thereof. At Lessor's request, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a
certificate or certificates of insurance or other evidence satisfactory to
Lessor that such coverage is in effect, provided, however, that Lessor
shall be under no duty to either ascertain the existence of or to examine
such insurance policy or to advise Lessee in the event such insurance
coverage shall not comply with the requirements hereof. If any such
policies of insurance contain a co-insurance clause, Lessee shall either
cause such co-insurance clause to be waived or maintain at all times a
sufficient amount of insurance to meet the requirements of any such
co-insurance clause so as to prevent Lessee from becoming a co-insurer
under the terms of any such policy. Lessee will, at its expense, make all
proofs of loss and take all other steps necessary to recover insurance
benefits unless advised in writing by Lessor that Lessor desires so to do
at Lessee's expense. Proceeds of insurance shall at the option of Lessor be
disbursed by Lessor against satisfactory invoices for repair or replacement
of Equipment, provided there is no Default hereunder, or be retained by the
Lessor for application against Lessee's obligations hereunder, and if the
proceeds received are less than the Loss Value of the Equipment lost,
Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor the amount of such deficiency. The
total or partial loss of the Equipment or its use or possession shall not
relieve Lessee from its obligations and liabilities hereunder.
7. Uninsured Loss and Damage. If any item of Equipment is lost, stolen,
destroyed or damaged beyond repair and is not covered by insurance in the
amount required by section 6 for any reason, or in the event of any
condemnation, confiscation, seizure or expropriation of such item. Lessee
shall immediately pay to Lessor the Loss Value of such item, at which time
Lessor will transfer to Lessee, without recourse or warranty of any nature
whatsoever, all of Lessor's right, title and interest in such item of
Equipment.
<PAGE>

Equipment, its possession and use and the ownership thereof by Lessor.

of performance, capacity or operation of the Equipment. If any Equipment is
unsatisfactory for any reason whatsoever, Lessee shall pay the Rental and
other amounts owing in respect of such Equipment without set 0ff or
abatement and shall seek recourse solely against the supplier or

(a) Upon Default and any time thereafter Lessor shall have, in addition to
any other right or remedy Lessor may have at law or in equity, the rights
and remedies set out below, all of which shall be enforced successively,
concurrently and/or cumulatively:
(i) without further notice require Lessee to return the Equipment
under any or all Schedules ('Repossession') and for such purposes
Lessee hereby grants Lessor the right to enter its premises at
the then current Equipment location for the purpose of
Repossession and acknowledges that Lessor may retain all prior
payments as partial compensation for the use of the Equipment,
and sell or lease the Equipment upon such terms as Lessor
determines with or without notice, at private or public sale,
with or without having the Equipment at the sale ('Disposition');
(ii) upon five (5) days' prior written notice after the occurrence and
continuance of Default, terminate this Agreement and any
Schedule; or
(iii)demand, as a genuine pre-estimate of liquidated damages for loss
of bargain and not as a penalty, the Loss Value of the Equipment
(b) Lessee will pay all costs arising or incurred by Lessor as a result of
Default, including reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and his own
client basis. Such costs will be first deducted from the proceeds of
any Disposition. If an amount in excess of the Loss Value is received
by Lessor, after costs, from the exercise of its remedies under
paragraph 12(a), Lessor shall pay to Lessee or any other party
entitled by law to such payment, any such excess and Lessee shall be
liable for any deficiency.
(c) Lessee will pay Lessor interest at the Prime Rate plus 5% per annum
calculated daily on all sums not received by Lessor when due and owing
under the provisions of any Schedule or hereunder. Such interest shall

same days as provided for the payment of Rental so long as payment of
any monies due and payable hereunder is in arrears. For purposes of
this paragraph, "Prime Rate" means the rate of interest per annum

principal office in Toronto for demand loans in Canandian dollars made

exercised by Lessor separately or together, in any order or
combination.
(f) Lessor may discharge any claim, lien, mortgage, charge, security
interest, encumbrance or any rights of others that may exist or be
threatened against the Equipment, and in each such case the amounts so
paid together with costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection
therewith shall be added to the amount otherwise owed by Lessee.
13. Ownership. Title to the Equipment is and shall remain in Lessor. During the
Lease Term, the Equipment shall be and remain movable, personal and chattel
property. Lessor shall not interfere with Lessee's right to possession and
quiet enjoyment of the Equipment during the Lease Term provided no Default
shall have occurred hereunder or under any
<PAGE>
Schedule. Lessor may require plates, labels or other markings to be affixed
to or placed prominently upon the Equipment indicating Lessor as the owner.
14. Return on Termination. At the end of the Lease Term or earlier termination
of each Schedule, the Equipment shall be returned by Lessee, at its cost,
to Lessor at a place reasonably designated by Lessor, unless a purchase
option is exercised in respect thereof.
15. Indemnification. Lessee shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and
save Lessor harmless from and against, all losses, claims, costs, expenses,
damages, actions and liabilities, including without limitation solicitor's
fees on a solicitor and his own client basis, in connections with, or
arising from, this Agreement and/or any Schedule, the Equipment and the
manufacture, acquisition, possession, return, ownership, leasing, use and
operation of the Equipment. This indemnity shall survive termination of
this Agreement.
16. Taxes, Liens, Change of Name. Lessee shall:

assessments which may become payable at any time upon, or in respect
of, the Equipment, this Agreement and/or any Schedule and make and

Lessee's obligations hereunder and/or under a Schedule, Lessor in its
discretion may do as such reasonable acts and make all such reasonable
disbursements as may be necessary to remedy such failure and any
disbursements so made shall be payable to Lessee on demand, together with
interest at the rate stipulated in paragraph 12(c) from the date of
disbursement by Lessor to the date of payment by Lessee.
18. Notices. Notices with respect hereto will be given in writing personally
delivered to an officer or duly authorized representative of the recipient
party or by prepaid registered mail addressed to such party at its address
set forth above or such other address as it may in writing direct. Notice,
if mailed as aforesaid, shall be deemed effective upon the fifth (5)
