SUBORDINATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT
THIS SUBORDINATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this "GUARANTY") is made as of
the ___th day of ______, 200_, by UNIFRAX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
(the "CORPORATION"), in favor of SOCIETE EUROPEENNE DE PRODUITS REFRACTAIRES, a
French corporation ("SELLER").
RECITALS

("HOLDINGS");
B. Holdings has executed a promissory note in favor of Seller in the
original principal amount of U.S. $20,200,000 (the "HOLDINGS NOTE") as partial
consideration for the transactions contemplated by that certain Stock and Asset
Purchase Agreement by and among Seller, the Corporation, and certain other
parties thereto dated July 27, 2000 (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT");
9
C. Holdings has executed a promissory note in favor of Carborundum do
Brasil in the original principal amount of U.S. $300,000 (together with the
Holdings Note, the "NOTES") as partial consideration for the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
D. The Corporation has executed a promissory note in the original
principal amount of U.S. $8,000,000 (the "CORPORATION NOTE") in favor of Seller
as partial consideration for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement;
E. The Corporation desires to execute and deliver this Guaranty in lieu
of an increase in the principal amount of the Corporation Note.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Corporation and Seller, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. GUARANTY. Subject to the provisions of the Subordination Agreements
and the other provisions set forth below and Section 2(b) of the Holdings Note,
the Corporation irrevocably guarantees to Seller and its successors and
permitted assigns, the full and punctual payment when due (whether at stated
maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) of all
amounts owing from Holdings under the Holdings Note, including, without
limitation, all principal, interest, fees and other amounts now or hereafter
owing under the Holdings Note. In furtherance of the foregoing and subject to
Section 2(b) of the Holdings Note, the Corporation agrees that, upon failure by
Holdings to pay punctually any amount owing under the Holdings Note, the
Corporation shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place
and in the manner specified in the Holdings Note. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Guaranty, the Corporation's obligation to pay
pursuant to this Guaranty is limited to the payment of up to an aggregate amount
of $4,000,000 (such obligations being the "OBLIGATIONS"). The Corporation has
the right to offset against the face amount of the Obligations any amounts owing
from Seller or any affiliate of Seller to the Corporation or Holdings under any
of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). In the
event of any such offset, the amount of offset shall be allocated among (a) the
Notes; (b) the Corporation Note, (c) that certain Subordinated Promissory Note
issued in the original principal amount of $1,500,000 by Corporation in favor of
SEPR; and (d) this Guaranty and any other guaranty agreement issued by the
Corporation in favor of Seller.
2. OBLIGATIONS INDEPENDENT. The obligations of the Corporation
hereunder are independent of the obligations of Holdings except to the extent of
Section 2(b) of the Holdings Note and the offset provisions contained in Section
5 of the Holdings Note, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against the Corporation whether action is brought against Holdings or
whether Holdings is joined in any such action or actions. The Corporation waives
the benefit of any statue of limitations affecting its liability hereunder.
3. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL. The Corporation agrees that, subject to
the rights of a guarantor to raise defenses that would have been available to
such guarantor had it been named as the sole obligor with respect to the
Holdings Note rather than as a guarantor including, without limitation, Section
2(b) of the Holdings Note and the offset provisions contained in Section 5 of
the Holdings Note, the Corporation's obligations hereunder are absolute and
2
10
unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Holdings Note and, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever (including,
without limitation, personal defenses of Holdings or any other obligor other
than Section 2(b) of the Holdings Note and the offset provisions of the Holdings
Note) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
of a surety, guarantor or co-obligor.
4. REINSTATEMENT. The obligations of the Corporation under this
Guaranty shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any
reason any payment by or on behalf of any person in respect of the obligations
under the Holdings Note is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by an
beneficiary under the Holdings Note, whether as a result of any proceedings in
bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Corporation agrees that it
will reimburse Seller on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket losses,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees of counsel)
incurred by Seller in connection with such rescission or restoration, including
any losses, liabilities, costs and expenses in defending against any claim
alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or
similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
5. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL WAIVERS. Without limiting the generality of any
other provision of this Guaranty, the Corporation hereby specifically waives (a)
promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to
the Holdings Note or this Guaranty; (b) any requirement that Seller or any other
person protect, secure or insure any lien or any property subject thereto or
exhaust any right or take any action against Holdings or any other person or any
collateral; and (c) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of
nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices
of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation, or incurrence of
new or additional indebtedness; provided, however, that Seller shall first
provide Holdings written notice of any Event of Default prior to pursuing any
rights or remedies hereunder.
6. CONTINUING GUARANTEE. This guarantee in this Guaranty is a
continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all obligations of Holdings under the
Holdings Note whenever arising subject to the limitations herein contained.
7. NO WITHHOLDING. Any payments to be made in respect of this Guaranty
on account of the interest of the Corporation Note shall be made without
deduction or withholding, or with such additional amounts as may be necessary in
order that Seller, after such deduction or withholding, receives the full amount
of such principal then due and payable.
8. NO IMPLIED WAIVER. Seller shall not, by any act, delay, omission or
otherwise be deemed to waive any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless
such waiver be in writing and signed by Seller and the Corporation, and then
only to the extent expressly set forth therein. A waiver on any such occasion
shall not be construed as a bar to, or waiver of, any such right or remedy on
any future occasion.
9. EXPENSES. The Corporation agrees to pay on demand all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys) in any way
relating to the enforcement or protection of the rights of Seller hereunder.

10. SUBROGATION. The Corporation is entitled to be subrogated to any of
the rights of Seller against Holdings for nonpayment of the Holdings Note to the
extent that the Corporation actually pays any of the Obligations; provided,
however, that the Corporation's right to subrogation is limited to the
Corporation's right to cause Holdings to forego accrued and unpaid dividends to
which Holdings is entitled pursuant to Section C.1 of Article Fourth of the
Corporation's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and to surrender
shares of Class A Preferred Stock to the Corporation, in each case to the extent
that the Corporation actually pays any of the Obligations.
11. BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNMENT. This Guaranty binds the Corporation and
its successors and assigns, and the benefits hereof inure to the benefit of
Seller and its successors and assigns. All references herein to the
"Corporation" and "Seller" will be deemed to apply to the Corporation and

interpretation, enforcement, validity, construction, and in all other respects
by the laws, statutes and decisions of the State of New York.

the Corporation (or any of its affiliates and successors) arising under any
agreements or instruments representing or evidencing any Senior Indebtedness.
With respect to the indebtedness identified in clauses (III)-(V) of the legend
set forth above, Seller shall, upon the request of the Corporation, enter into
subordination agreements in form and substance substantially similar to the
Subordination Agreements.

in full of the principal of and interest on the Holdings Note in accordance with
the terms thereof, the obligations of the Corporation in favor of Seller under
this Guaranty will terminate and Seller shall execute and deliver to the
Corporation a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction
