as the case may be, and if, in any such case, the Issuer shall also pay or cause to be
paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer with respect to Securities of such
series, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to Securities
of such series (including any Security Guaranties with respect to Securities of such
series), and the Trustee, on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper

satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with; provided, that the
rights of Holders of the Securities to receive amounts in respect of principal of and
interest on the Securities held by them shall not be delayed longer than required by

successor, either directly or through the Issuer, any Guarantor or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any

ARTICLE 2

Guaranties




     Each Guarantor by its execution of this Supplemental Indenture agrees to be a Guarantor under
the Indenture and agrees as follows:



     Section 2.01. The Guaranties. Subject to the provisions of this Article, each Guarantor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis,
the full and punctual payment (whether at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or
acceleration, or otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other
amounts payable under, each Security, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts
payable by the Issuer under the Indenture or under any Paying Agency Agreement. Upon failure by
the Issuer to pay punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the
amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in the Indenture.



     Section 2.02. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are
unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not be
released, discharged or otherwise affected by:




     (1) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of
any obligation of the Issuer under the Indenture or any Security, by operation of law or
otherwise;




     (2) subject to Section 2.09 hereof, any modification or amendment of or supplement to
the Indenture or any Security;




     (3) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Issuer, or
any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the
Issuer or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Issuer
contained in the Indenture or any Security;




     (4) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor may have
at any time against the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection
with the Indenture or any unrelated



7









 







transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim
by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;




     (5) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Issuer for any
reason of the Indenture or any Security, or any provision of applicable law or regulation
purporting to prohibit the payment by the Issuer of the principal of or interest on any
Security or any other amount payable by the Issuer under the Indenture; or




     (6) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Issuer, the Trustee
or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the
provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to
such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.



     Section 2.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain
in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities
and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture have been paid in full. If at any
time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security or any other
amount payable by the Issuer under the Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or
returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, each
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such
payment had been due but not made at such time.



     Section 2.04. Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance
hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any
requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Issuer or any other
Person.



     Section 2.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any
obligation of the Issuer under this Article, the Guarantor making such payment will be subrogated
to the rights of the payee against the Issuer with respect to such obligation, provided that the
Guarantor may not enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive payment in the
nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with respect to such payment so
long as any amount payable by the Issuer hereunder or under the Securities remains unpaid.



     Section 2.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount
payable by the Issuer under the Indenture or the Securities is stayed upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration
under the terms of the



8









 




Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the
Trustee or the Holders.




     Section 2.07. Limitation on Amount of Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Article, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms
that it is the intention of all such parties that the Security Guaranty of such Guarantor not
constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United
States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each
Guarantor under its Security Guaranty are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the
Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of
the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.



     Section 2.08. Execution and Delivery of Guaranty. The execution by each Guarantor of this
Supplemental Indenture evidences the Security Guaranty of such Guarantor, whether or not the person
signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any
Security. The delivery of any Security by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due
delivery of the Security Guaranty set forth in this Supplemental Indenture on behalf of each
Guarantor.



     Section 2.09. Release of Guaranty. The Security Guaranty of a Guarantor will terminate
upon:




     (1) the conditions set forth in the Officers’ Certificate or the supplemental
indenture invoking this Supplemental Indenture with respect to one or more series of
Securities, or




     (2) defeasance or discharge of the Securities, as provided in Section 9.01 or Article
12 of the Indenture.


Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to
the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to
evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under its Security Guaranty.




ARTICLE 3

Miscellaneous 




     Section 3.01. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are used as

9









 





     Section 3.02. This Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.



     Section 3.03. This Supplemental Indenture may be signed in various counterparts which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.



     Section 3.04. This Supplemental Indenture is an amendment supplemental to the Indenture and
the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture will henceforth be read together with respect to one
or more series of Securities, if and only if, the Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture
establishing such series specifically invokes this Supplemental Indenture.
