Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Guarantee, they may, but need
not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
 1.4 Acts of Holders

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Guarantee to be given or taken by one or more Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed by them in writing. Except
as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Security Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Guarantor and/or the Partnership. Such instrument
or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Unit, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Guarantee and conclusive in favour of the Security Trustee, the Guarantor
and the Partnership, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
 (b) The fact and date of
the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that
the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than its individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient
proof of authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Security Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) If the Guarantor shall solicit from Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Guarantor may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Guarantor shall have no obligation to do so. Such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the
first solicitation of such Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may
be given before or after such record date, but only Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite percentage of outstanding Guaranteed
Class A Preferred LP Units or Series thereof have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units
or Series (as applicable) shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of
this Guarantee not later than eleven months after the record date.

1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver

Where this Guarantee provides for notice of any event to Holders by the Guarantor or the Security Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in

the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Security Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

the date of such Designation Notice and that the terms of this Guarantee extend to such Class A Preferred LP Units and all financial liabilities and obligations thereunder, in such form as the Partnership may reasonably require. The Security Trustee

(f) any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the Holders to enforce,
assert or exercise any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Holders pursuant to the terms of the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units, or any action on the part of the Partnership granting indulgence or extension of any kind;

(g) subject to Section 4.1(c), the recovery of any judgment against the Partnership, any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding up, merger or amalgamation of the Partnership or the Guarantor, any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership or the Guarantor, any judicial or
extrajudicial receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of, or proposal to, creditors, any reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or composition with creditors, or any readjustment of debt of, or other proceedings affecting
the Partnership, the Guarantor or any of the assets of the Partnership or the Guarantor;

it being the intent of the Guarantor that its obligations in respect of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by
payment in full of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations. The Holders shall not be bound or obliged to exhaust their recourse against the Partnership or any other Persons or to take any other action before being entitled to demand payment from
the Guarantor hereunder.

2.6 Continuing Guarantee
 This
Guarantee shall apply to and secure any ultimate balance due or remaining due to the Holders in respect of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations and shall be binding as an absolute and continuing obligation of the Guarantor. This Guarantee shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations must or may be rescinded, is declared or may become voidable, or must or may otherwise be returned by any
Holders for any reason, including the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution or reorganization of the Partnership or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the
Partnership or any substantial part of its property, all as though such payment had not been made. If at any time the Partnership is precluded from making payment when due in respect of any Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations by reason of the
provisions of its organizational documents or otherwise, such amounts shall nonetheless be deemed to be due and payable by the Partnership to the Holders for all purposes of this Guarantee and the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations shall be
immediately due and payable to the Holders. This is a guarantee of payment, and not merely a deficiency or collection guarantee.
 2.7 Rights of Holders
 The Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this Guarantee will be deposited with the Security
Trustee to be held for the benefit of the Holders and the Security Trustee has the right to enforce this Guarantee on behalf of the Holders.
 2.8 Subrogation
 The Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation in respect of any payment made to the Holders
hereunder until such time as the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations have been fully satisfied. In the case of the liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or bankruptcy of the Partnership (whether voluntary or involuntary), or if the Partnership
makes an arrangement or compromise or proposal with its creditors, the Holders shall have the right to rank for their full claim and to receive all distributions or other payments in respect thereof until their claims in respect of the Class A
Preferred LP Unit Obligations have been paid in full, and the Guarantor shall continue to be liable to the Holders for any balance which may be owing to the Holders by the Partnership in respect thereof. The Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations
shall not, however, be released, discharged, limited or affected by the failure or omission of the Holders to prove the whole or part of any claim against the Partnership. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor on account of any subrogation arising
hereunder at any time when the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations are due and owing and have not been fully satisfied, such amount shall be held in trust by the Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto and shall forthwith be paid
to such Holders to be credited and applied against their Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations.

2.9 Independent Obligations

The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Partnership with respect to the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units and that the Guarantor shall
be liable to make payment of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a) through (k), inclusive, of Section 2.5 and regardless of
whether the Holders make a demand upon the Guarantor. The Guarantor will pay the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations in accordance with this Guarantee without regard to any equities between it and the Partnership or any defence or right of
set-off, compensation, abatement, combination of accounts or cross-claim that it or the Partnership may have.
 

 - 14 -
 

2.10 Guarantor to Investigate Financial Condition of the Partnership

condition of the Partnership and all other circumstances affecting the Partnership's ability to pay the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations.

3.3 Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Guarantor Obligations, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations to receive payments or distributions
of assets of the Guarantor (to the extent of the application thereto of such payments or other assets which would have been received by the Holders but for the provisions hereof) until the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations shall be paid in full,
and no such payments or distributions to the Holders of cash, property or securities, which otherwise would be payable or distributable to the holders of such Senior Guarantor Obligations, shall, as between the Guarantor, its creditors (other than
the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations and Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations), and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Guarantor to the holders of such Senior Guarantor Obligations or on account of such Senior Guarantor Obligations, it
being understood that the provisions of this Article 3 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations, on the other hand.

3.4 Obligation to Pay Not Impaired

Nothing contained in this Article 3 or elsewhere in this Guarantee is intended to or shall impair, as between the Guarantor, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations),
and the Holders, the obligation of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations in accordance herewith, as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with this
Guarantee, or affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Guarantor (other than the holders of the Senior Guarantor Obligations and Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations); nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Security
Trustee or the Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Guarantee, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 3 of the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor
Obligations in respect of cash, property or securities of the Guarantor that are received upon the exercise of any such remedy.
 3.5 No Payment if Senior Guarantor Obligations in Default
 Upon the acceleration, demand or maturity of any Senior
Guarantor Obligations whether by lapse of time, acceleration, demand or otherwise, then, except as provided in Section 3.6, such matured Senior Guarantor Obligations shall first be paid in full, or shall first have been duly provided for, before any
payment by the Guarantor is made on account of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations.
 
 
- 16 -
 
 In case of default with respect to any Senior Guarantor Obligations that permits the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof, unless and
until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment (by purchase of the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units or otherwise) shall be made by the Guarantor with respect to the Class A Preferred LP Unit
Obligations, and neither the Security Trustee nor the Holders shall be entitled to demand, institute proceedings for the collection of, or receive any payment or benefit from the Guarantor (including without limitation by set-off, combination of
accounts or otherwise in any manner whatsoever) on account of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations after the happening of such a default (except as provided in Section 3.6), and unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or
shall have ceased to exist, such payments received from the Guarantor shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and, if and when the Senior Guarantor Obligations shall have become due and payable, shall be paid over to, the holders of such Senior
Guarantor Obligations or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing an amount of such Senior Guarantor Obligations remaining unpaid, until all such Senior
Guarantor Obligations shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Guarantor Obligations.
 The fact that any payment
hereunder is prohibited by this Section 3.5 shall not prevent the failure to make such payment from being an Event of Default hereunder.
 3.6 Payment on Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units Permitted
 Nothing contained in this Article 3 or elsewhere in
this Guarantee, or in any of the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units, shall affect the obligation of the Guarantor to make, or prevent the Guarantor from making, at any time except during the pendency of any dissolution, winding up or liquidation
of the Guarantor or reorganization proceedings specified in Section 3.2 affecting the affairs of the Guarantor, any payment on account of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations, except that the Guarantor shall not make any such payment other than
as contemplated by this Article 3, if it is in default in payment of any of its Senior Guarantor Obligations. The fact that any such payment is prohibited by this Section 3.6 shall not prevent the failure to make such payment from being an Event of
Default hereunder. Nothing contained in this Article 3 or elsewhere in this Guarantee, or in any of the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units, shall prevent the application by the Security Trustee of any moneys deposited with the Security Trustee
hereunder for the purpose so deposited, to the payment of or on account of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations unless and until the Security Trustee shall have received written notice from the Guarantor or from any holder of Senior Guarantor
Obligations or from the representative of any such holder of default with respect to any Senior Guarantor Obligations permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof and that all applicable notices have been issued and cure periods
have expired in respect of such default.
 3.7 Confirmation of Subordination or Pari
Passu Ranking
 As a condition to the benefits conferred hereby on each Holder, each such Holder by acceptance of the benefits conferred hereby authorizes and directs the Security Trustee, on
such Holder's behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 3, and appoints the Security Trustee as such Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Upon
request of the Guarantor, and upon being furnished with an Officer's Certificate stating that one or more named persons are holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, or the representative or representatives of such
holders, or the trustee or trustees under which any instrument evidencing such Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations may have been issued, and specifying the amount and nature of such Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari
Passu Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, the Security Trustee shall enter into a written agreement or agreements with the Guarantor and the person or persons named in such Officer's Certificate providing that such person or persons are entitled
to all the rights and benefits of this Article 3 as the holder or holders, representative or representatives, or trustee or trustees of such Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, specified in such Officer's
Certificate and in such agreement. Such agreement shall be conclusive evidence that the indebtedness specified therein is Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, however, nothing herein shall impair the
rights of any holder of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations who has not entered into such an agreement.

Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, and nothing in this Guarantee deprives the Security Trustee
of any of its rights as such holder.
 3.9 Rights of Holders of Senior Guarantor
Obligations and Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations Not Impaired
 No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations to enforce the
subordination herein will at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Guarantor or by any non-compliance by the Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Guarantee, regardless
of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

Obligations
 A holder of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations has the right to extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of such Senior Guarantor Obligations or
Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, or any security therefor and to release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise to deal freely with the Guarantor or any other Person, all without notice to or consent of the Holders or the

proper remedy.

adjustment or composition affecting the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Security Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Security Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the rateable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

then outstanding Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units affected by such Event of Default ("Defaulted Class A Preferred LP Units") shall have made written request to the Security Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default in its own name as Security Trustee hereunder;
 
  - 21 -

been determined adversely to the Security Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Guarantor, the Security Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their respective former
positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Security Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
 4.8 Rights and Remedies Cumulative

to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

4.9 Delay or Omission Not Waiver

No delay or omission of the Security Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any
such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, provided that any Event of Default that is cured by the Guarantor will thereafter cease to constitute an Event of Default for purposes of this Guarantee. Every right and remedy given by this Article
or by law to the Security Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Security Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Security Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Security Trustee, with respect to this Guarantee, provided that in each case:

 The Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it
will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Guarantee; and the Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Security Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
 4.12 Undertaking for Costs
 All parties to this Guarantee agree, and each Holder by acceptance of the benefits
hereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Guarantee, or in any suit against the Security Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it as Security Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable lawyers' fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Guarantor, (b) any suit instituted by
the Security Trustee, or (c) any suit instituted in accordance with this Guarantee by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations.

 5.6 May Hold
Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units

 Upon
receipt of a direction from the Guarantor, the Security Trustee shall invest funds held by the Security Trustee pursuant to this Guarantee in Authorized Investments in its name in accordance with such direction. Any direction from the Guarantor to

party of the Security Trustee) provided that such obligation is rated at least R1 (middle) by DBRS Limited or an equivalent rating service.

 5.9 Corporate Trustee Required;
Eligibility
 There shall at all times be a trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation resident or authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in Canada. Neither the Guarantor

 then, in any such case the Guarantor by Board Resolution may remove the Security Trustee.

shall occur in the office of the Security Trustee for any other reason, the Guarantor, by Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 5.11. If, within one year
after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor trustee has not been successfully appointed in accordance with the terms hereof, a successor trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders representing
a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of all of the then outstanding Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units and the successor Security Trustee so appointed by the Holders shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance

(f) The Partnership shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Security Trustee
and each appointment of a successor trustee to the Holders by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the list of Holders maintained by the Partnership. If the Partnership shall fail to give such notice within

retiring trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money, if any, held by such retiring trustee hereunder.
 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee, the Partnership, the Guarantor, the retiring trustee and such successor trustee shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto in which each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which shall (i) contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, such successor
trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring trustee to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (ii) add to or change any of the provisions of this Guarantee to the extent necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture (except as specifically provided for therein) shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust

resignation or removal of the retiring trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of
the retiring trustee with respect to the Guarantee to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, and such retiring trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to each successor trustee all property and money held, if any, by such

be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

5.13 Not Bound to Act
 The
Security Trustee shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Security Trustee, in its sole judgment, determines that such act might cause it
to be in non-compliance with any applicable economic sanctions or anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Security Trustee, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under
this Guarantee has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable economic sanctions or anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on 10 days written notice to
the Partnership and the Guarantor, provided that (a) the Security Trustee's written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (b) if such circumstances are rectified to the Security Trustee's satisfaction, acting
