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 Corporation. 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 Senior Preferred Share, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Guarantee and conclusive in favour of the Security Trustee, the Guarantor and the Corporation, 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 his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of authority. The fact

4

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 any Holders of Senior Preferred Shares 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 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 the 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 the applicable outstanding Senior Preferred Shares have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Senior Preferred Shares 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.

1.5 Notices, Etc. to Security Trustee and Guarantor

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other documents provided or permitted by this Guarantee to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

The Guarantor or the Corporation may from time to time notify the Security Trustee of a change in address or facsimile number which thereafter, until changed by like notice, shall be the address or facsimile number of the Guarantor or the Corporation for all purposes of this Guarantee.

1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver

Where this Guarantee provides for notice of any event to any Holders of Senior Preferred Shares by the Guarantor or the Security Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event, at the Holder’s address as it appears in the list of Holders as provided by the Corporation, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or in any other manner from time to time permitted by applicable laws, including, without limitation, internet-based or other electronic communications. In any case where notice to any Holders of Senior Preferred Shares is given by mail, neither the accidental failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Senior Preferred Shares, but upon such failure to mail or such defect in any notice so mailed being discovered, the notice (as corrected to address any defects) shall be mailed forthwith to such Holder. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

Where this Guarantee provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be 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 Guarantor’s obligation to pay Senior Preferred Share Obligations may be satisfied by (i) direct payment to the applicable Holders or (ii) payment to the applicable Holders through the facilities of the Security Trustee. The Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Security Trustee in the event it makes a direct payment to the Holders hereunder.

2.2 Waiver of Notice

The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guarantee.

2.3 Guarantee Absolute

The Guarantor guarantees that the Senior Preferred Share Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Senior Preferred Shares and this Guarantee within the time required by Section 2.1, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any such terms or the rights of the Holders with respect thereto. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any sale, transfer or assignment by any Holder of any Senior Preferred Shares or any right, title, benefit or interest of such Holder therein or thereto;

(b) any amendment or change in or to, or any waiver of, any of the terms of any Senior Preferred Shares;

(g) 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 any Senior Preferred Shares, or any action on the part of the Corporation granting indulgence or extension of any kind;

There shall be no obligation of the Holders to give notice to, or obtain the consent of, the Guarantor with respect to the happening of any of the foregoing.

2.4 Continuing Guarantee

This Guarantee shall apply to and secure any ultimate balance due or remaining due to the Holders in respect of the Senior Preferred Share 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 Senior Preferred Share Obligations must or may be rescinded, is declared or may become voidable, or must or may otherwise be returned by the Holders for any reason, including the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution or reorganization of the Corporation or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Corporation or any substantial part of its property, all as though such payment had not been made. If at any time the Corporation is precluded from making payment when due in respect of any Senior Preferred Share Obligations by reason of the provisions of the CBCA or otherwise, such amounts shall nonetheless be deemed to be due and payable by the Corporation to the Holders for all purposes of this Guarantee and the Senior Preferred Share Obligations shall be immediately due and payable to the Holders. This is a guarantee of payment, and not merely a deficiency or collection guarantee.

2.5 Rights of Holders

The Guarantor expressly acknowledges that: (i) this Guarantee will be deposited with the Security Trustee to be held for the benefit of the Holders; and (ii) the Security Trustee has the right to enforce this Guarantee on behalf of the Holders.

If the Corporation shall fail to pay any of the Senior Preferred Share Obligations when due, the Guarantor shall pay to the Holders the Senior Preferred Share Obligations that are payable immediately after demand is made in writing by one or more Holders or the Security Trustee, but in any event within 15 days of any failure by the Corporation to pay the Senior Preferred Share Obligations when due, without any evidence that the Holders or the Security Trustee have demanded that the Corporation pay any of the Senior Preferred Share Obligations or that the Corporation has failed to do so.

2.7 Subrogation

The Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation in respect of any payment made to the Holders hereunder until such time as the Senior Preferred Share Obligations have been fully satisfied. In the case of the liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or bankruptcy of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary), or if the Corporation 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 dividends or other payments in respect thereof until their claims 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 Corporation in respect thereof. The Senior Preferred Share 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 Corporation. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor on account of any subrogation arising hereunder at any time when the Senior Preferred Share Obligations have not been fully satisfied, such amount shall be held in trust by the Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Holders to be credited and applied against the applicable Senior Preferred Share Obligations.

2.8 Independent Obligations

The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Corporation with respect to the Senior Preferred Shares and that the Guarantor shall be liable to make payment of the Senior Preferred Share Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a) through (l), inclusive, of Section 2.3 and regardless of whether the Holders make a demand upon the Guarantor. The Guarantor will pay the Senior Preferred Share Obligations in accordance with this Guarantee without regard to any equities between it and the Corporation or any defence or right of set-off, compensation, abatement, combination of accounts or cross-claim that it or the Corporation or any Additional Guarantor may have.

8

2.9 Guarantor to Investigate Financial Condition of the Corporation

The Guarantor acknowledges that it has fully informed itself about the financial condition of the Corporation. The Guarantor assumes full responsibility for keeping fully informed of the financial condition of the Corporation and all other circumstances affecting the Corporation’s ability to pay the Senior Preferred Share Obligations.

ARTICLE 3

SUBORDINATION OF OBLIGATIONS TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS

3.1 Applicability of Article

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in the following sections of this Article 3, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, and the Security Trustee and each Holder as a condition to and by acceptance of the benefits conferred hereby agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of this Article 3.

3.2 Order of Payment

Upon any distribution of the assets of the Guarantor on any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Guarantor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, or upon an “assignment for the benefit of creditors” or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Guarantor, or otherwise):

(a) all Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor shall first be paid in full, or provision made for such payment, before any payment is made on account of the Senior Preferred Share Obligations; and

(b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders or the Security Trustee on behalf of such Holders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 3, shall be paid or delivered by the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other liquidating agent making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution, or provision therefor, to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

3.3 Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor 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 Senior Preferred Share Obligations shall be paid in full, and no such payments or distributions to Holders of cash, property or securities, which otherwise would be payable or distributable to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, shall, as between the Guarantor, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness), and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Guarantor to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article 3 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, on the other hand.

3.4 Pari Passu Ranking

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder rank on a pro rata and pari passu basis with the BEP Preferred Unit Guarantee Obligations (collectively, the Senior Preferred Share Obligations and the BEP Preferred Unit Guarantee Obligations are the “Guaranteed Obligations”). All Senior Preferred Share Obligations are expressly pari passu with all BEP Preferred Unit Guarantee Obligations for purposes of all BEP Preferred Unit Guarantee Indentures.

3.5 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 Indebtedness) and the Holders, the obligation of the Guarantor,

9

which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the Senior Preferred Share 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 Indebtedness; nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Security Trustee or any 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 Indebtedness and other Guaranteed Obligations in respect of cash, property or securities of the Guarantor that are received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

3.6 No Payment if Senior Indebtedness in Default

Upon the acceleration, demand or maturity of any Senior Indebtedness whether by lapse of time, acceleration, demand or otherwise, then, except as provided in Section 3.7, all principal of and interest on all such matured Senior Indebtedness 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 Senior Preferred Share Obligations.

In case of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness 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 Senior Preferred Shares or otherwise) shall be made by the Guarantor with respect to the Senior Preferred Share 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 Senior Preferred Share Obligations after the happening of such a default (except as provided in Section 3.8), 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 Indebtedness of the Guarantor shall have become due and payable, shall be paid over to, the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing an amount of such Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

The fact that any payment hereunder is prohibited by this Section 3.6 shall not prevent the failure to make such payment from being an Event of Default hereunder.

3.7 Payment on Senior Preferred Shares Permitted

Nothing contained in this Article 3 or elsewhere in this Guarantee, or in any of the Senior Preferred Shares, 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 Senior Preferred Share 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 Indebtedness. The fact that any such payment is prohibited by this Section 3.7 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 Senior Preferred Shares, 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 Senior Preferred Share Obligations unless and until the Security Trustee shall have received written notice from the Guarantor or from the holder of Senior Indebtedness or from the representative of any such holder of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof.

3.8 Confirmation of Subordination

As a condition to the benefits conferred hereby on each Holder, each such Holder by acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Security Trustee, on the 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 the 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 Indebtedness of the Guarantor, or the representative or representatives of such holders, or the trustee or trustees under which any instrument evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, and specifying the amount and nature of such Senior Indebtedness, 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 Indebtedness specified in such Officer’s Certificate and in such

10

agreement. Such agreement shall be conclusive evidence that the indebtedness specified therein is Senior Indebtedness, however, nothing herein shall impair the rights of any holder of Senior Indebtedness who has not entered into such an agreement.

3.9 Security Trustee May Hold Senior Indebtedness

The Security Trustee is entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 3 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Guarantee deprives the Security Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

3.10 Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness 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.

3.11 Altering Senior Indebtedness

A holder of Senior Indebtedness has the right to extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of such Senior Indebtedness 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 Security Trustee and without affecting the subordination herein, the liabilities and obligations of the parties to this Guarantee or the Holders or the Security Trustee.

3.12 Additional Indebtedness

This Guarantee does not restrict the Guarantor from incurring any indebtedness or otherwise or mortgaging, pledging or charging its properties to secure any indebtedness.

(b) If, notwithstanding Section 5.8(a), the Security Trustee has a material conflict of interest, the validity and enforceability of this Guarantee shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only of the existence of such material conflict of interest.

(b) The Security Trustee may resign its trust and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder at any time with respect to the Guarantee by giving to the Corporation and the Guarantor 60 days’ notice in writing or such shorter notice as they may accept as sufficient. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor trustee required by Section 5.11 shall not have been delivered to the Security Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may apply to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an order for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Guarantee.

(f) The Corporation 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 as maintained by the Corporation. If the Corporation shall fail to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Corporation. Each notice shall include the name of the successor trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

5.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee

On the request of the Guarantor or the successor trustee, the retiring trustee shall, upon payment of its fees and expenses then unpaid, execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts of the 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.

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 and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the 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 retiring trustee hereunder which the appointment of such successor trustee relates.

(c) Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Corporation and the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all rights, power and trusts referred to in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

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 Guarantor and the Corporation, provided that (i) the Security Trustee’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) if such circumstances are rectified to the Security Trustee’s satisfaction, acting reasonably, within such 10 day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

5.14 Security Trustee’s Privacy Clause

The parties acknowledge that federal and/or provincial legislation that addresses the protection of individuals’ personal information (collectively, “Privacy Laws”) applies to obligations and activities under this Guarantee. Despite any other provision of this Guarantee, no party shall take or direct any action that would contravene, or cause the other to contravene, applicable Privacy Laws. The Guarantor shall, prior to transferring or causing to be transferred personal information to the Security Trustee, obtain and retain required consents of the relevant individuals to the collection, use and disclosure of their personal information, or shall have determined that such consents either have previously been given upon which the parties can rely or are not required under the Privacy Laws. The Security Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its services hereunder comply with Privacy Laws. Specifically, the Security Trustee agrees: (i) to have a designated chief privacy officer; (ii) to maintain policies and procedures to protect personal information and to receive and respond to any privacy complaint or inquiry; (iii) to use personal information solely for the purposes of providing its services under or ancillary to this Guarantee and not to use it for any other purpose except with the consent of or direction from the Guarantor or the individual involved; (iv) not to sell or otherwise improperly disclose personal information to any third party; and (v) to employ administrative, physical and technological safeguards to reasonably secure and protect personal information against loss, theft, or unauthorized access, use or modification.

5.15 Compensation and Reimbursement

The Corporation agrees:

(a) to pay to the Security Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); and

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Security Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Security Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Guarantee (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any tax in respect of which may be refunded or credited to it or any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

The Security Trustee’s remuneration shall be payable out of any funds coming into the possession of the Security Trustee in priority to any payment of the Senior Preferred Share Obligations. The said remuneration shall continue to be payable whether or not this Guarantee shall be in the course of administration by or under the direction of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any amount due under this Section and unpaid within 30 days after demand for such payment by the Security Trustee, shall bear interest at the then current rate of interest charged by the Security Trustee to its corporate customers. This Section 5.15 shall survive the removal or termination of the Security Trustee and the termination of this Guarantee.

Each party to this Agreement (“Representing Party”) hereby represents to the Security Trustee that any account to be opened by, or interest to be held by, Security Trustee in connection with this Agreement, for or to the credit of such Representing Party, either (i) is not intended to be used by or on behalf of any third party; or (ii) is intended to be used by or on behalf of a third party, in which case such Representing Party hereby agrees to complete, execute and deliver forthwith to Security Trustee a declaration, in Security Trustee’s prescribed form or in such other form as may be satisfactory to it, as to the particulars of such third party.

Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and permanent secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Guarantor, and another to the Security Trustee to be preserved by the Security Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

11.7 Serial Approvals and Meetings

(a) If any business to be transacted at a meeting of Holders especially affects the rights of the Holders of one or more Series in a manner or to an extent substantially differing from that in or to which it affects the rights of the Holders of any other Series (as to which an Opinion of Counsel will be binding on all Holders and the Security Trustee for all purposes hereof) then:

(i) reference to such fact, indicating each Series so especially affected, will be made in the notice of such meeting and the meeting will be and is herein called a “serial meeting”; and

(b) If in the Opinion of Counsel any business to be transacted at any meeting of Holders does not affect the rights of the Holders of one or more Series, the provisions of Section 8.2 and this Article 11 will apply with respect to

25

such business as if the Senior Preferred Shares of such Series were not outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice will be given to the Holders of such Series of such meeting together with notice that such business does not affect the rights of such Holders.
