TRANSACTION AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT TO WHICH

AGENT MAY, AT ITS SOLE OPTION, DETERMINE WHICH OF SUCH REMEDIES OR RIGHTS IT MAY

IF, IN THE EXERCISE OF ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES, AGENT SHALL FORFEIT ANY

MULTIPLIED BY (Y) THE AGGREGATE DEFICIT AMOUNT OF SUCH OTHER GUARANTOR.  A
GUARANTOR’S RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION PURSUANT TO THE PRECEDING SENTENCES SHALL
ARISE AT THE TIME OF EACH COMPUTATION, SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT PURSUANT TO THE
PRECEDING SENTENCES; PROVIDED THAT NO GUARANTOR MAY TAKE ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE
SUCH RIGHT UNTIL THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN IRREVOCABLY PAID IN FULL
IN CASH, IT BEING EXPRESSLY RECOGNIZED AND AGREED BY ALL PARTIES HERETO THAT ANY
GUARANTOR’S RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION ARISING PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 2.10 AGAINST
ANY OTHER GUARANTOR SHALL BE EXPRESSLY JUNIOR AND SUBORDINATE TO SUCH OTHER
GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS
AND ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OWING UNDER THIS GUARANTY.  AS USED IN THIS SECTION

OBTAINED BY DIVIDING (X) THE ADJUSTED NET WORTH (AS DEFINED BELOW) OF SUCH
GUARANTOR BY (Y) THE AGGREGATE ADJUSTED NET WORTH OF ALL GUARANTORS; (II) THE
“ADJUSTED NET WORTH” OF EACH GUARANTOR SHALL MEAN THE GREATER OF (X) THE NET
WORTH (AS DEFINED BELOW) OF SUCH GUARANTOR AND (Y) ZERO; AND (III) THE “NET
WORTH” OF EACH GUARANTOR SHALL MEAN THE AMOUNT BY WHICH THE FAIR SALABLE VALUE
OF SUCH GUARANTOR’S ASSETS ON THE DATE OF ANY RELEVANT PAYMENT EXCEEDS ITS
EXISTING DEBTS AND OTHER LIABILITIES (INCLUDING CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, BUT
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS ARISING UNDER THIS GUARANTY)
ON SUCH DATE.  ALL PARTIES HERETO RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT, EXCEPT FOR ANY RIGHT
OF CONTRIBUTION ARISING PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 2.10, EACH GUARANTOR WHO MAKES
ANY PAYMENT IN RESPECT OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT OF
CONTRIBUTION OR SUBROGATION AGAINST ANY OTHER GUARANTOR IN RESPECT OF SUCH
PAYMENT UNTIL ALL OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN IRREVOCABLY PAID IN
FULL IN CASH.  EACH OF THE GUARANTORS RECOGNIZES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE
RIGHTS TO CONTRIBUTION ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL CONSTITUTE AN ASSET IN FAVOR OF
THE PARTY ENTITLED TO SUCH CONTRIBUTION.  IN THIS CONNECTION, EACH GUARANTOR HAS
THE RIGHT TO WAIVE ITS CONTRIBUTION RIGHT AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR TO THE EXTENT
THAT AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO SUCH WAIVER SUCH GUARANTOR WOULD REMAIN SOLVENT, IN

HEREIN, ALL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS GUARANTY BY OR ON BEHALF
OF ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BIND AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE

PROVISIONS OF THIS GUARANTY WHICH ARE FOR ANY OBLIGEE’S BENEFIT AS A PURCHASER

FAILURE TO EXERCISE NOR ANY DELAY IN EXERCISING ON THE PART OF AGENT OR ANY
OBLIGEE, ANY RIGHT, POWER OR PRIVILEGE HEREUNDER, SHALL OPERATE AS A WAIVER

GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF
MASSACHUSETTS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW
RULES OR PROVISIONS (WHETHER OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OR ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION
OTHER THAN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.  IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING,
THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS SHALL CONTROL THE
INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS GUARANTY (AND ALL ANNEXES, SCHEDULES AND
EXHIBITS HERETO), EVEN THOUGH UNDER THAT JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR
CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD

JURISDICTION IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, USA.  BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS
GUARANTY, THE GUARANTOR AND EACH OBLIGEE ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION
WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE
AFORESAID COURTS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED

THE GUARANTOR AND EACH OBLIGEE HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY in any litigation in any court with respect to, in
connection with, or arising out of this Guaranty or the validity, protection,
interpretation, collection or enforcement hereof.  THE GUARANTOR AGREES THAT
THIS SECTION 6.12 IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS GUARANTY AND
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EACH OBLIGEE WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THE TRANSACTION
AGREEMENTS OR MADE AN INVESTMENT THEREUNDER IF THIS SECTION 6.12 WERE NOT PART
OF THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS.

 

6.13         JUDGMENT CURRENCY.

 

(A)           IF, FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING OR ENFORCING JUDGMENT AGAINST THE
GUARANTOR IN ANY COURT IN ANY JURISDICTION, IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO CONVERT INTO
ANY OTHER CURRENCY (SUCH OTHER CURRENCY BEING HEREINAFTER IN THIS SECTION
REFERRED TO AS THE “JUDGMENT CURRENCY”) AN AMOUNT DUE UNDER THIS GUARANTY IN ANY
CURRENCY (THE “OBLIGATION CURRENCY”) OTHER THAN THE JUDGMENT CURRENCY, THE
CONVERSION SHALL BE MADE AT THE RATE OF EXCHANGE PREVAILING ON THE BUSINESS DAY
IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING (A) THE DATE OF ACTUAL PAYMENT OF THE AMOUNT DUE, IN THE
CASE OF ANY PROCEEDING IN THE COURTS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO OR IN THE COURTS
OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THAT WILL GIVE EFFECT TO SUCH CONVERSION BEING MADE ON
SUCH DATE, OR (B) THE DATE ON WHICH THE JUDGMENT IS GIVEN, IN THE CASE OF ANY
PROCEEDING IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION (THE APPLICABLE DATE AS OF
WHICH SUCH CONVERSION IS MADE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION BEING HEREINAFTER IN THIS
SECTION REFERRED TO AS THE “JUDGMENT CONVERSION DATE”).

 

(B)           IF, IN THE CASE OF ANY PROCEEDING IN THE COURT OF ANY JURISDICTION
REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE RATE OF
EXCHANGE PREVAILING BETWEEN THE JUDGMENT CONVERSION DATE AND THE DATE OF ACTUAL
RECEIPT OF THE AMOUNT DUE IN IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS, THE GUARANTOR SHALL
PAY SUCH ADDITIONAL AMOUNT (IF ANY, BUT IN ANY EVENT NOT A LESSER AMOUNT) AS MAY
BE NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY RECEIVED IN THE JUDGMENT
CURRENCY, WHEN CONVERTED AT THE RATE OF EXCHANGE PREVAILING ON THE DATE OF
PAYMENT, WILL PRODUCE THE AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGATION CURRENCY WHICH COULD HAVE
BEEN PURCHASED WITH THE

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

AMOUNT OF THE JUDGMENT CURRENCY STIPULATED IN THE JUDGMENT OR JUDICIAL ORDER AT
THE RATE OF EXCHANGE PREVAILING ON THE JUDGMENT CONVERSION DATE.  ANY AMOUNT DUE
FROM THE GUARANTOR UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE DUE AS A SEPARATE DEBT AND SHALL
NOT BE AFFECTED BY JUDGMENT BEING OBTAINED FOR ANY OTHER AMOUNTS DUE UNDER OR IN
RESPECT OF THIS GUARANTY.
