GENERAL SECURITY AGREEMENT

________________________________________________

CANADIAN WESTERN BANK

FULL LIABILITY GUARANTEE

For value received the undersigned ("Guarantor") hereby guarantees to CANADIAN WESTERN BANK ("Bank") payment, forthwith after demand made therefor as hereinafter provided, of all indebtedness and liability (present and future, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or not) of Westsphere Financial Group Ltd. ("Customer") to the Bank whether arising from agreement or dealings between the Bank and the Customer or from agreement or dealings between the Bank and any third person by which the Customer now is or hereafter may become indebted or liable to the Bank or however otherwise arising and whether the Customer be bound alone or with another or others and whether as principal or surety or guarantor; and the Guarantor further agrees that:

1. If more than one Guarantor executes this instrument the provisions hereof shall be read with all grammatical changes thereby rendered necessary and each reference to the Guarantor shall include the undersigned and each and every one of them severally and this guarantee and all covenants and agreements herein contained shall be deemed to be joint and several. This instrument shall be read with all grammatical changes made necessary by the Guarantor's or Customer's gender.
2. The Bank may increase, reduce, discontinue or otherwise vary the Customer's credit, grant time, renewals, extensions, releases and discharges to, take and give up securities (which may include other guarantees), and otherwise deal with the Customer and other parties and securities as the Bank may see fit, and may apply all monies received from the Customer or others or from the sale or other disposal of security upon such part of the Customer's liability as the Bank may think best, without prejudice to or in any way limiting or lessening the liability of the Guarantor under this guarantee. The Guarantor's obligation to pay under this guarantee shall not be limited or reduced as a result of the termination, invalidity or unenforceability of any right of the Bank against the Customer or any other party (including other guarantors) for any cause whatsoever.
3. This guarantee shall be a continuing security for payment by the Customer to the Bank of all the indebtedness and liability aforesaid; provided that the Guarantor may determine his further liability under this guarantee by 30 days written notice given to the branch of the Bank at which this guarantee is held but, if such notice be given, this guarantee shall apply and extend to any indebtedness or liability of the Customer to the Bank incurred prior to the expiration of 30 days from the date of receipt of such notice by the said branch of the Bank.
4. The Bank shall not be bound to exhaust its recourse against the Customer or other parties or the securities that it may hold before being entitled to payment from the Guarantor under this guarantee.
5. Any loss of or in respect of securities received by the Bank from the Customer or others, whether occasioned through the fault of the Bank or otherwise, shall not discharge or limit or lessen the liability of the Guarantor under this guarantee.
6. Any change or changes in the name of the Customer, or, if the Customer is a partnership, any change or changes in the membership of the Customer's firm by death or by the retirement of one or more of the partners or by the introduction of one or more new partners or otherwise, shall not affect or in any way limit or lessen the liability of the Guarantor under this guarantee and this guarantee shall extend to the person, firm or corporation acquiring or from time to time carrying on the business of the Customer .
7. All monies, advances, renewals and credits borrowed or obtained from the Bank shall be deemed to form part of the indebtedness and liabilities hereby guaranteed, notwithstanding any incapacity, disability, limitation of status or lack of power of the Customer or the directors, partners or agents thereof, or that the Customer may not be a legal entity, or any defect in the borrowing or obtaining of such money, advances, renewals or credits; and any amount which may not be recoverable from the Guarantor on the footing of a guarantee shall be recoverable from the Guarantor as principal debtor in respect thereof and it shall be paid to the Bank after demand therefor by the Bank.
8. Any account settled or stated by or between the Bank and the Customer shall be accepted by the Guarantor as conclusive evidence that the balance or balance amount thereby appearing due by the Customer to the Bank is in fact so due.
9. The Guarantor agrees not to assert any right of contribution against any other guarantor until the customer's indebtedness and liabilities have been paid in full. If the Bank should receive from the Guarantor a payment in full or on account of the indebtedness or liability under this guarantee, all rights of subrogation arising therefrom shall be postponed and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to claim repayment against the Customer or the Customer's estate until the Bank's claims against the Customer have been paid in full; and in the case of liquidation, winding up or bankruptcy of the Customer (whether voluntary or compulsory) or in the event that the Customer shall make a bulk sale of any of the Customer's assets within the bulk transfer provisions of any applicable legislations, or shall make any compromise with creditors or scheme of arrangement, the Bank shall have the right to rank for its full claim and receive all dividends or other payments in respect thereof until its claim has been paid in full and the Guarantor shall continue to be liable, up to the amount guaranteed, less any payments made by the guarantor, for any balance which may be owing to the Bank by the Customer. In the event of the valuation by the Bank of any of its securities and/or the retention of such securities by the Bank, such valuation and/or retention shall not, as between the Bank and the Guarantor, be considered as a purchase of such securities or as payment or satisfaction or reduction of the Customer's indebtedness or liabilities to the Bank, or any part thereof.
10. Any notice or demand which the Bank may wish to give may be served on the Guarantor either personally on him or his legal personal representative or, in the case of a corporation, on any officer or director of the corporation, or by sending the same registered mail in an envelope addressed to the last known address of the Guarantor as it appears on the Bank's records and the notice so sent shall be deemed to be received on the fifth business day following that on which it is mailed.
11. As security for the performance of the Guarantor's covenants herein and the payment of the present and future debts and liabilities of the Customer to the Bank, the Guarantor hereby grants to the Bank a security interest in all debts and liabilities, present and future, of the Customer to the Guarantor, all of which are hereby assigned by the Guarantor to the Bank and postponed to the present and future debts and liabilities of the Customer to the Bank. Any monies or other proceeds received by the Guarantor in respect of such debts and liabilities shall be received in trust for and forthwith paid over to the Bank, in whole, without in any way limiting or lessening the liability of the Guarantor hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the assignment and postponement contained in this paragraph 11 are intended to be and are independent of the remainder of this guarantee and may, at the option of The Bank, be severed therefrom. A notice of termination given by the Guarantor pursuant to paragraph 3 shall not terminate the provisions contained in this paragraph 11, which shall continue in full force and effect until released in writing by the Bank. The Guarantor hereby acknowledges receiving a copy of this guarantee and waives all rights to receive from the Bank a copy of any financing statement, financing change statement or verification statement filed or issued at any time in respect of this assignment. The Guarantor further acknowledges that, at the Bank's option, any additional security granted by the Guarantor in support of this guarantee shall be deemed to be incorporated into this guarantee by reference. In particular, the Guarantor acknowledges that such additional security shall be valid without the necessity of a further Guarantees Acknowledgement Act certificate.

12. The Guarantor shall be currently liable under this guarantee at any time for the full amount of the debts and liabilities of the Customer to the Bank then outstanding, provided that the Guarantor shall not be in default under or in breach of this guarantee unless and until the Bank has made demand upon the Guarantor hereunder and the Guarantor has failed to pay the amount demanded or otherwise failed to comply with such demand forthwith following receipt (or deemed receipt) of such demand. In the case of default the Bank may maintain an action upon this guarantee whether or not the Customer is joined therein or separate action is brought against the Customer or judgment obtained against him. The Bank's rights are cumulative and shall not be exhausted by the exercise of any of the Bank's rights hereunder or otherwise against the Guarantor or by any successive actions until and unless all indebtedness and liability hereby guaranteed has been paid and each of the Guarantor's obligations under the guarantee has been fully performed.
13. The Guarantor shall pay to the Bank on demand (in addition to all debts and liabilities of the Customer hereby guaranteed) all costs, charges and expenses (including, without limitation, lawyer's fees as between solicitor and his own client on a full indemnity basis) incurred by the Bank for the preparation, execution and perfection and enforcement of this guarantee and of any securities collateral thereto, together with interest thereon, both before and after demand, default and judgment, calculated from the date of payment by the Bank of each such cost, charge and expense until payment by the Guarantor hereunder, at a rate per annum equal to 3% above the rate published by the Bank from time to time as the Bank's prime lending rate. A statement signed by any officer of the Bank confirming the Bank's prime lending rate at any time or times shall be conclusive evidence thereof for all purposes under this guarantee.
14. This instrument is in addition and without prejudice to any other securities of any kind including any other guarantees, whether or not in the same form as this instrument, now or hereafter held by the Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all limits and evidence of liability pursuant to any guarantee now or hereafter held by the Bank shall be cumulative.
15. There are no representations, warranties, collateral agreements or conditions with respect to this guarantee or affecting the Guarantor's liability hereunder other than as contained herein. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, this guarantee shall be operative and binding upon every signatory hereto notwithstanding the non-execution hereof by any other proposed or intended signatory or signatories.
16. This instrument shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Alberta, and the Guarantor agrees that any legal suit, action or proceedings arising out of or relating to this instrument may be instituted in the courts of such province or territory and the Guarantor hereby accepts and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the said courts and acknowledges their competence and agrees to be bound by any judgment thereof, provided that nothing herein ~ shall limit the Bank's right to bring proceedings against the Guarantor elsewhere.
17. This instrument shall extend to and enure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Bank and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and the heirs, executors, administrators and successors of the Guarantor.
