Without limiting the generality of the foregoing terms of this paragraph 1, the New Subsidiary hereby, jointly and severally together with the other Guarantors, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, as provided in the Canadian Guaranty, the prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing terms of this paragraph 2, the New Subsidiary hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in, and a right of setoff against, any and all right, title and interest, whether now or hereafter owned or acquired, of the New Subsidiary in and to the Collateral of the New Subsidiary.
