(b) The execution, delivery and performance by each Guarantor of its obligations  under this Guarantee will not (i) violate or conflict with (x) any provision of law, order,  judgment, or decree of any court or other agency or government,  (y) any provision of its  constitutional documents, or (z) any agreement or other instrument to which such  Guarantor is a party or is bound; (ii) result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice  or lapse of time or both) a default under any contractual provision to which it is bound;  or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any  nature whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of such Guarantor pursuant to any  indenture, agreement or instrument (other than pursuant to this Guarantee), except in the  case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) to the extent that any such conflict,  breach, default, lien, charge, encumbrance, or violation as applicable, could not  reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  (c) Except where the failure to obtain or make such consent, approval or authorization  could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all consents,  approvals, or authorizations from any Governmental Authority that are required to be  obtained in connection with or as a condition to the execution, delivery or performance  of this Guarantee have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.  





 






   5  CAN_DMS: \149683496\4  (d) Each Guarantor is Solvent.  (e) Neither Guarantor is contemplating either a filing of a petition under any federal  or provincial bankruptcy law, or the liquidating of all or a major portion of its property;  and neither Guarantor has any knowledge of any person contemplating the filing of such  petition against it.  (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee or any other Note  Document, the representations contained in this Section 8 shall be continuing and remain  in full force and effect until payment or conversion in full of the Guaranteed Obligations  (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).  9. Subrogation.  Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Beneficiaries  against the Issuer and the other Note Parties in respect of any amounts paid or deliveries made by  such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee, provided, however, that the  Guarantors shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon,  such right of subrogation until indefeasible and final payment in full of all of the Guaranteed  Obligations.  10. Expenses of Enforcement.  The Guarantors further agree to pay, on a joint and  several basis, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including  reasonable attorneys’ fees, which are incurred by any of the Beneficiaries in any effort to collect  or enforce any provision of this Guarantee.  11. Set-Off.  Upon the Guaranteed Obligations becoming due and payable (by  acceleration or otherwise) under the Note Purchase Agreement or any other applicable Note  Document, each Beneficiary is hereby authorized to setoff, appropriate and apply (without  presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and  any other indebtedness held or owing by such Beneficiary  (including by any branches or agencies  of such Beneficiary) to, or for the account of, any Guarantor against amounts owing by such  Guarantor hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured); provided, that such Beneficiary shall  notify such Guarantor promptly following such setoff.  12. Interest Act (Canada). Each Guarantor acknowledges that certain of the rates of  interest applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations may be computed on the basis of a year of 360  days or 365 days, as the case may be and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.  For purposes  of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest is calculated using a rate based on a year of  360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when  expressed as an annual rate is equivalent to (a) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or  365 days, as the case may be, (b) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in  which the period for such interest is payable (or compounded) ends, and (c) divided by 360 or 365,  as the case may be.  13. Severability. If any provision of this Guarantee is determined by a court of  competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable that provision will be severed from  this Guarantee and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, without  limitation.

With  respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Guarantee (“Proceedings”), each  Guarantor irrevocably: (a) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province  of Ontario; and (b) agrees that all claims in respect of any suit, action or proceeding may be heard  and determined in such court and (c) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the  laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such  Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object,  with respect to such Proceedings that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such  Guarantor.  Nothing in this Guarantee precludes the Beneficiaries from bringing Proceedings in  any other jurisdiction in order to enforce any judgment obtained in any Proceedings referred to in  the preceding sentence.  15. Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE  MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY  JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER  (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING  OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTEE OR ANY OTHER  NOTE DOCUMENT.  16. Judgment Currency.   (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to  convert all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other amount  due to the relevant Beneficiaries in respect of a Guarantor’s obligations  under this Guarantee in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another  currency (the “Other Currency”), such Guarantor, to the fullest extent that  it may effectively do so, agrees that the rate of exchange used will be that  at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the relevant  Beneficiary could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency  on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is paid or  satisfied.  (b) The obligations of a Guarantor in respect of any sum due in the Original  Currency from it to any of the Beneficiaries will, notwithstanding any  judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on  the Business Day following receipt by the relevant Beneficiaries of any sum  adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency the relevant Beneficiaries  may, in accordance with their normal banking procedures, purchase the  Original Currency with such Other Currency.  If the amount of the Original  Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender in  the Original Currency, such Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and  notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Beneficiaries  against such loss.

The Beneficiaries may, concurrently  with any assignment of their rights and obligations in accordance with the Note Purchase  Agreement, assign this Guarantee or any rights or powers hereunder, with any or all of the  underlying liabilities or obligations, the payment of which is guaranteed hereunder, in each case,  subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement.  18.
