ARTICLE FOURTEEN
THE GUARANTEES

Section 1401. Except as otherwise set forth in a supplemental indenture or provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution and set forth in an Officers' Certificate, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the Securities of each series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf of each such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal (including any amount in respect of original issue discount) of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities and the due and punctual payment of the sinking fund payments, if any, and analogous obligations, if any, provided for pursuant to the terms of such Securities, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity or upon redemption or upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of such Securities and of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. The Guarantor agrees that in case of default by the Company in the payment of any such principal (including any amount in respect of original issue discount), premium, interest, sinking fund payment, or analogous obligation, the Guarantor shall duly and punctually pay the same, as if such payment were made by the Company. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any extension of the time for payment of any such Security, any modification of any such Security or any supplemental indenture or Board Resolution and Officers' Certificate relating thereto, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such Security or the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, any failure or delay to enforce the same or any waiver, modification, consent or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.

The Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guarantee.

The Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a demand or proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to any such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such Security except by payment in full of the principal (including any amount payable in respect of original issue discount) of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, and payment of the sinking fund payments, if any, and analogous obligations, if any, thereon.

The Guarantor agrees that the Guarantee with respect to each series of Securities shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Securities of such series. The Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of the principal (including any amount payable in respect of original issue discount) of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, and payment of the sinking fund payments, if any, and analogous obligations, if any, on any series of Securities is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

The Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Seven for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of the obligations guaranteed hereby as provided in Article Seven, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 1401.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities of a series against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Security pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantees or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders until payment in full of the principal (including any amount payable in respect of original issue discount) of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, and payment of the sinking fund payments, if any, and analogous obligations, if any, on all Securities of such series. The Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) any and all rights to which it may be entitled, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment hereunder (i) any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and depleted as payment of the Company's or the Guarantor's obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by the Guarantor hereunder; or (ii) to receive any payment, in the nature of contribution or for any other reason, from any other obligor with respect to such payment.
