Exhibit 10.14 UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY THIS UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY (the "Guaranty") is made as of the 31st day of March, 1995, by PROSOURCE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Guarantor"), in favor of NATIONSBANK OF GEORGIA, N.A. ("NationsBank"), a national banking association with its principal office located in Atlanta, Georgia (the "Administrative Agent"), in its capacity as agent for the financial institutions (the "Lenders") party from time to time to the Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the same as it may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or refinanced from time to time, being the "Loan Agreement"), by and between ProSource Services Corporation, a Delaware corporation, BroMar Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, ProSource Distribution Services Limited, an Ontario corporation (the "Borrowers"), NationsBank, The First National Bank of Boston and Shawmut Capital Corporation (the "Co-Agents"), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and in favor of the Lenders. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lenders have made or have agreed to make certain financial accommodations to the Borrowers in the form of revolving credit loans under a $210,000,000 revolving credit facility, term loans under two $15,000,000 term loan facilities and in the form of the issuance of letters of credit from time to time for the Borrowers' account, on the terms and conditions and as more particularly set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Guarantor is the sole shareholder, directly or indirectly of each Borrower and, as such, benefits from the financial accommodations of the Lenders to the Borrowers.

STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the Lenders' extension of the credit and financial accommodations described above, and in order to induce the Lenders to extend such credit and make such financial accommodations, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor agrees in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself as Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as follows: Section 1. Guaranty. (a) In consideration of the execution and delivery by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of the Loan Agreement and the making of the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans to the Borrowers by the Lenders thereunder, and the issuance from time to time thereunder of Letters of Credit for the account of one or more Borrowers, the Guarantor, as primary obligor and not as surety merely, hereby guarantees absolutely and unconditionally to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the due and punctual payment, when and as due (whether upon demand, at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), of the following (collectively the "Guaranteed Obligations"): (i) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Loans; and (ii) the other Secured Obligations. (b) The Guarantor agrees to pay all reasonable expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in enforcing their rights under this Guaranty. (c) This Guaranty shall be a continuing guaranty of any and all notes given as evidence of or in extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

hereunder on any number of occasions and no single demand shall exhaust the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Section 2. Payment by Guarantor. If the Borrowers shall fail to pay, when due and payable, any Guaranteed Obligation, the Guarantor shall immediately make such payment to the Administrative Agent on demand. If any Guaranteed Obligation would be subject to acceleration, but such acceleration is enjoined or stayed, the Guarantor will, to the extent permitted by law, purchase such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations as shall equal the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus such accrued interest and other amounts as would have been payable had such Guaranteed Obligation been paid or prepaid at the time of such purchase. All payments by the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made without any setoff, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever, and in the same currency and funds as are required to be paid by the Borrowers. Section 3. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows: (a) Organization; Authority. The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty.

Section 6. Absolute Obligation. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are irrespective of and shall not be dependent upon or affected by (a) the validity, legality, regularity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any of the obligations in respect thereof or any collateral therefor or guaranty thereof, 6

Section 7. Recovery of Payments. In the event that any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations are or were paid by the Borrowers or are or were paid or reduced by application of the proceeds of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and all or any part of such payment is recovered from the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or otherwise, the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall continue or be reinstated, as 7
EX-10.148th Page of 12TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
the case may be, and remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law. Section 8. Waiver of Claims. The Guarantor will not exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor contrary to the foregoing provisions, on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Section 9. Binding Nature of Certain Adjudications. Upon written notice of the institution by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any action or proceeding, legal or otherwise, for the adjudication of any controversy with any Borrower, the Guarantor will be conclusively bound by the adjudication in any such action or proceedings and by a judgment, award or decree entered therein to the extent that the same determines liability or responsibility for an amount measured or that could be measured in money. The Guarantor waives the right to assert in any action or proceeding brought by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon any Loan Document, any offsets or counterclaims which the Guarantor may have with respect thereto (other than the defense of payment). Section 10. Validity and Enforceability of Guaranty. The Guarantor will take all actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender required so that the guaranty contained herein will at all times be a binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms.
