THE GUARANTY
SECTION 2.01 OBLIGATIONS GUARANTEED. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment at maturity of the Obligations.
SECTION 2.02 NATURE OF GUARANTY. This guaranty is an absolute,
irrevocable, completed and continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of
collection, and no notice of the Obligations or any extension of credit already
or hereafter contracted by or extended to the Company need be given to the
Guarantor. The guaranty evidenced hereby is joint and several with all other
guarantees of the Obligations. This guaranty may not be revoked by the
Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to debt under the
Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by the Guarantor
and shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full
and the Aggregate Commit ments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time
to time prior thereto no Obligations may be outstanding. The Company, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may modify, alter, rearrange, extend for
any period and/or renew from time to time, the Obligations and the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may waive any Default or Events of Default
without notice to the Guarantor and in such event the Guarantor will remain
fully bound hereunder on the Obligations. Subject to the terms of the Credit
Agreement, this Guaranty Agreement may be enforced by the Administrative Agent
and/or the Lenders and any subsequent holder of the Obligations and shall not be
discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Obligations.
The Guarantor hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, notice of non-
payment, protest and notice of protest and dishonor, notice of Event of Default,
notice of intent to accelerate the maturity and notice of acceleration of the
maturity and any other notice in connection with the Obligations, and also
notice of acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement, acceptance on the part of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders being conclusively presumed by their
request for this Guaranty Agreement and delivery of the same to the
Administrative Agent.
SECTION 2.03 LENDERS' RIGHTS. Subject to the terms of the Credit
Agreement, the Guarantor authorizes the Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders), without notice or demand and without affecting the
Guarantor's obligation hereunder, to take and hold security for the payment
-2-
of the Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security;
and to apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine; and to
obtain a guaranty of the Obligations from any one or more Persons and at any
time or times to enforce, waive, rearrange, modify, limit or release any of such
other Persons from their obligations under such guaranties.
SECTION 2.04 GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS. The Guarantor waives any right to
require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to (a) proceed against the
Company or any other Person liable on the Obligations, (b) enforce their rights
against any other guarantor of the Obligations, (c) proceed or enforce their
rights against or exhaust any security given to secure the Obligations, (d) have
the Company joined with the Guarantor in any suit arising out of this Guaranty
Agreement and/or the Obligations, or (e) pursue any other remedy whatsoever.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be required to mitigate
damages or take any action to reduce, collect or enforce the Obligations. The
Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability, lack of
corporate authority or power, or other defense of the Company or any other
guarantor of the Obligations, and shall remain liable hereon regardless of
whether the Company or any other guarantor be found not liable thereon for any
reason.
SECTION 2.05 MATURITY OF OBLIGATIONS; PAYMENT. The Guarantor agrees that
if the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by bankruptcy or otherwise,
such maturity shall also be deemed accelerated for the purpose of this Guaranty
Agreement without demand or notice to the Guarantor. The Guarantor will,
forthwith upon notice from the Administrative Agent of the Company's failure to
pay the Obligations at maturity, pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the Administrative Agent's
Principal Office, the amount due and unpaid by the Company and guaranteed
hereby. The failure of the Administrative Agent to give this notice shall not
in any way release the Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 2.06 LENDERS' EXPENSES. If the Guarantor fails to pay the
Obligations after notice from the Administrative Agent of the Company's failure
to pay any Obligations at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and
if the Administrative Agent or the Lenders obtain the services of an attorney
for collection of amounts owing by the Guarantor hereunder, or obtaining advice
of counsel in respect of any of their rights under this Guaranty Agreement, or
if suit is filed to enforce this Guaranty Agreement, or if proceedings are had
in any bankruptcy, receivership or other judicial proceedings for the
establishment or collection of any amount owing by the Guarantor hereunder, or
if any amount owing by the Guarantor hereunder is collected through such
proceedings, the Guarantor agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent at its
Principal Office the reasonable attorneys' fees of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders.
SECTION 2.07 OBLIGATION. It is expressly agreed that the obligation of
the Guarantor for the payment of the Obligations guaranteed hereby shall be

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 3.01 BY THE GUARANTOR. In order to induce the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders to accept this Guaranty Agreement, the Guarantor
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (which
representations and warranties will survive the creation of the Obligations and
any extension of credit thereunder) that:
(a) Benefit to the Guarantor. The Company is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of
the Guarantor; and the Guarantor's guaranty pursuant to this Guaranty Agreement
reasonably may be expected to
-5-
benefit, directly or indirectly, the Guarantor; and the Guarantor has determined
that this Guaranty Agreement is necessary and convenient to the conduct,
promotion and attainment of the business of the Guarantor and the Company.
(b) Solvency. It (i) is not insolvent as of the date hereof and will not
be rendered insolvent as a result of this Guaranty Agreement or the transactions
contemplated by the Credit Agreement or the making of the Loans or issuance of
Letters of Credit thereunder, (ii) is not engaged in business or a transaction,
or about to engage in a business or a transaction, for which any Property or
assets remaining with the Guarantor is unreasonably small capital, and (iii)
does not intend to incur, or believe it will incur, debts that will be beyond
its ability to pay as such debts mature.
(c) No Representation by Administrative Agent or Lenders. Neither any
Agent, Lender nor any other Person has made any representation, warranty or
statement to the Guarantor in order to induce the Guarantor to execute this
Guaranty Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
SUBORDINATION OF INDEBTEDNESS
SECTION 4.01 SUBORDINATION OF ALL GUARANTOR CLAIMS. As used herein, the
term "Guarantor Claims" shall mean all debts and obligations of the Company to
the Guarantor, whether such debts and obligations now exist or are hereafter
incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the Company thereon be direct,
contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and
irrespective of whether such debts or obligations be evidenced by note,
contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons
in whose favor such debts or obligations may, at their inception, have been, or
may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter
be acquired by the Guarantor. Except for payments permitted by the Credit
Agreement, until the Obligations shall be paid and satisfied in full, the
Aggregate Commitments are terminated and the Guarantor shall have performed all
of its obligations hereunder and the Security Instruments to which it is a
party, the Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from
the Company any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.
SECTION 4.02 CLAIMS IN BANKRUPTCY. In the event of receivership,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor's relief, or other insolvency
proceedings involving the Company, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right to prove their claim
in any proceeding, so as to establish their rights hereunder and receive
directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and
payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. The Guarantor
hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Should any Agent or Lender
receive, for application upon the Obligations, any such dividend or payment
which is otherwise payable to the Guarantor, and which, as between the Company
and the Guarantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then
upon payment in full of the Obligations, the Guarantor shall become subrogated
to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the extent that
such payments to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the Guarantor
Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Obligations, and such
subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Obligations which
would have been unpaid if the Administrative Agent and the Lenders had not
received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
-6-
SECTION 4.03 PAYMENTS HELD IN TRUST. In the event that notwithstanding
Sections 4.01 and 4.02, the Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims
or distributions which is prohibited by such Sections, the Guarantor agrees (a)
to hold in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an amount equal to
the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and (b)
that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds,
payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders; and the Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the
Administrative Agent.
SECTION 4.04 LIENS SUBORDINATE. The Guarantor agrees that, until the
Obligations are paid in full and the Aggregate Commitments terminated, any Liens
upon the Company's assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and
remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens upon the Company's assets securing
payment of the Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of
the Guarantor, any Agent or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or
attach. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
Guarantor, during the period in which any of the Obligations are outstanding or
the Aggregate Commitments are in effect, shall not (a) exercise or enforce any
creditor's right it may have against the Company, or (b) foreclose, repossess,
sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding
(judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of or
joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor's relief or
insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Lien, mortgages, deeds of trust, security
interest, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of the
Company held by the Guarantor.
SECTION 4.05 NOTATION OF RECORDS. All promissory notes and, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, all accounts receivable ledgers or other
evidence of the Guarantor Claims accepted by or held by the Guarantor shall
contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced
thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Guaranty Agreement.

the Obligations or proceeds of any collateral are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to
a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy
law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Obligations so
satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not
been received and the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' Liens, rights,
powers and remedies under this Guaranty Agreement and each Security Instrument
shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Security
Instrument shall be automatically reinstated and the Guarantor shall take such
action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders to effect such reinstatement.
SECTION 5.07 SUBJECT TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. This Guaranty
Agreement is subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement which (a)
subjects the ability of the Lender Group to pursue remedies hereunder to the
prior consent of the Canadian Lenders and (b) sets forth a priority for the
application of proceeds upon any disposition of amounts received hereunder.
