          (d) Each Guarantor agrees that if the maturity of the Guarantor Obligations is accelerated by bankruptcy or otherwise, such maturity shall also be deemed accelerated for the purpose of this guarantee without demand or notice to such Guarantor.

     Section 3.01Representations in Credit Agreement. In the case of such Guarantor, the representations and warranties set forth in Article VII of the Credit Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party are true and correct in all material respects,provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to each Borrower’s knowledge, as applicable, shall, for the purposes of thisSection 3.01, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.

     Section 3.02Benefit to the Guarantor. The Borrowers are members of an affiliated group of companies that includes each Guarantor. Each Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the US Borrower, and its guaranty and surety obligations pursuant to this Agreement reasonably may be expected to benefit, directly or indirectly, the Borrowers, and it has determined that this Agreement is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of the business of such Guarantor and the Borrowers.

- 8 -

2.01(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement) and all of the Aggregate Commitments shall have terminated:

     Section 4.01Covenants in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Guarantor, such Guarantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE V
The US Administrative Agent

     Section 5.01Authority of US Administrative Agent. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the US Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the US Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the US Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the US Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the US Administrative Agent and the Guarantors, the US Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Guaranteed Creditors with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Guarantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

ARTICLE VI
Subordination of Indebtedness

     Section 6.01Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and obligations of the Borrowers or any other Guarantor to any other Guarantor, whether such debts and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the debtor 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. After and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Guarantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any obligor in respect thereof any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

     Section 6.02Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceedings involving any Guarantor, the US Administrative Agent on behalf of the US Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors 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. Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the US Administrative Agent for the benefit of the US Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors for application against the Guarantor Obligations as provided under Section 11.02(b) of the Credit Agreement. Should

- 9 -

any Agent or Guaranteed Creditor receive, for application upon the Guarantor Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Guarantor, and which, as between such Guarantors, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Obligations, the expiration of all Letters of Credit (except for Letters of Credit secured by cash collateral or one or more Support Letters of Credit as permitted in Section 2.01(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement) and the termination of all of the Aggregate Commitments, the intended recipient shall become subrogated to the rights of the US Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors to the extent that such payments to the US Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guarantor Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guarantor Obligations which would have been unpaid if the US Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

     Section 6.03Payments Held in Trust. In the event that notwithstandingSection 6.01 andSection 6.02, any Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which is prohibited by such Sections, then it agrees: (a) to hold in trust for the US Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors 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 US Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors; and each Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the US Administrative Agent.

     Section 6.04Liens Subordinate. Each Guarantor agrees that, until the Guarantor Obligations are paid in full in cash, the expiration of all Letters of Credit (except for Letters of Credit secured by cash collateral or one or more Support Letters of Credit as permitted in Section 2.01(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement) and the termination of all of the Aggregate Commitments, any Liens securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens securing payment of the Guarantor Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of such Guarantor, the US Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Creditor presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of the US Administrative Agent, no Guarantor, during the period in which any of the Guarantor Obligations are outstanding, any Letters of Credit are outstanding (except for Letters of Credit secured by cash collateral or one or more Support Letters of Credit as permitted in Section 2.01(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement) or the Aggregate Commitments are in effect, shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against any debtor in respect of the Guarantor Claims, 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 held by it that secures Guarantors Claims.

     Section 6.05Notation of Records. Upon the request of the US Administrative Agent, all promissory notes and all accounts receivable ledgers or other evidence of the Guarantor Claims accepted by or held by any Guarantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Agreement.
