ARTICLE III
GUARANTEE

Section 3.01    Guarantee.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of this Article III, each Guarantor in respect of any Securities of a Guaranteed Series of Securities hereby jointly and severally unconditionally guarantees (subject to Section 3.04), on a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder of a Security of such series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors, irrespective of (i) the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Securities of such series or the obligations of the Company or any other Guarantors to the Holders of the Securities of such series or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder or (ii) the absence of any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or default of a Guarantor, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, interest and defaulted interest with respect to the Securities of such series shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest or defaulted interest with respect to the Securities of such series and all other obligations of the Company or any Guarantor to the Holders of the Securities of such series or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder and all other obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and thereof and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities of such series or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Company to the Holders of the Securities of such series, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under the Indenture or the Securities of such series shall constitute an event of default under the Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of the Securities of such series or the Trustee to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors of the Securities of such series hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.

2

(b)    The Guarantor, by execution hereof, waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that such Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Indenture and such Guarantee. The Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder of any Securities of a Guaranteed Series of Securities, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of the Securities of such series and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article III, the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six of the Base Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six of the Base Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of such Guarantee.

(c)    The Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities of a Guaranteed Series of Securities are pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Securities of such series, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities of such series shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Section 3.02    Limitation of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor, determined in accordance with GAAP.

Section 3.03    Waiver of Subrogation. Each Guarantor waives to the extent permitted by law any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of the Securities of a Guaranteed Series of Securities against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Securities of such series shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Securities of such series, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Securities of such series, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 3.03 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
