1.             Capitalized

Company also shall comply with the other provisions of the Trust Indenture Act § 314(a). 
Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section is
for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein
or determinable from information contained therein.”


 


3.             Agreement
to Guarantee.  The Parent Guarantor
hereby agrees as follows:


 


(a)           Subject
to Subsection 3(b) below, the Parent Guarantor (or any successor
person pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Second Supplemental
Indenture) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (such guarantee
being the “Guarantee”) to each Holder of a Security authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns,
irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture and the
Securities thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Securities promptly will be paid in full when due, whether at
the Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and interest
on the overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the
Securities, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders
and the Trustee under the Indenture and the Securities thereunder will be
promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture and the Securities thereunder, and (ii) in case of any extension
of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other
obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated
Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due by the Company
of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Parent Guarantor shall be
obligated to pay the same immediately. The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that
its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity,


 





















 


regularity or enforceability of the Indenture or the Securities
thereunder, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or
consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions of the
Indenture or the Securities thereunder, the recovery of any judgment against
the Company, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
guarantor. The Parent Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of
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 covenants that this Guarantee
shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Securities and the Indenture. If any Holder or the Trustee is
required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any custodian,
Trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the
Company, any amount paid by the Company to the Trustee or such Holder, this
Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full
force and effect. The Parent Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to
any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed
hereby.


 


(b)           It
is the intention of the Parent Guarantor and the Company that the obligations
of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall be, but not in excess of, the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if the obligations in respect
of the Guarantee would be annulled, avoided or subordinated to the creditors of
the Parent Guarantor by a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding
actually pending before such court as a result of a determination both that
such Guarantee was made without fair consideration and, immediately after
giving effect thereto, the Parent Guarantor was insolvent or unable to pay its
debts as they mature or left with an unreasonably small capital, then the
obligations of the Parent Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be reduced by
such court if such reduction would result in the avoidance of such annulment,
avoidance or subordination; provided, however, that any reduction pursuant to
this paragraph shall be made in the smallest amount as is strictly necessary to
reach such result. For purposes of this paragraph, “fair consideration,” “insolvency,”
“unable to pay its debts as they mature,” “unreasonably small capital” and the
effective times of reductions, if any, required by this paragraph shall be
determined in accordance with applicable law.


 


(c)           The
Parent Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders against the
Company in respect of any amounts paid by Parent Guarantor pursuant to the
provisions of the Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the
Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments
arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities issued under the Indenture
shall have been paid in full.


 


4.             Execution
and Delivery of Guarantee.  To evidence the Guarantee set
forth in Section 3, the Company and the Parent Guarantor hereby agree that
a notation of such Guarantee shall be endorsed on each Security authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee, that such notation of such Guarantee shall be in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and shall be executed on behalf of
the Parent Guarantor by an officer thereof.


 





















 


The Parent Guarantor
hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth in Section 3 shall remain in
full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a
notation of the Guarantee.


 


5.             Release
of Parent Guarantor.  The Parent Guarantor shall be released from
all of its obligations under the Guarantee and under the Indenture if:


 


(a)           the
Company or the Parent Guarantor has transferred all or substantially all of its
properties and assets to any Person (whether by sale, merger or consolidation
or otherwise), or has merged into or consolidated with another Person, pursuant
to a transaction in compliance with the Indenture and:


 


(i)            the
corporation to whom all or substantially all of the properties and assets of
the Company or the Parent Guarantor are transferred, or whom the Company or the
Parent Guarantor has merged into or consolidated with, has expressly assumed,
by an indenture supplemental to the Indenture, executed and delivered to the
Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Parent
Guarantor under the Guarantee and the Indenture;


 


(ii)           immediately
before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of
Default, and no event or condition which, after notice or lapse of time or
both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing;
and


 


(iii)          the
Parent Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer
and such supplemental indenture comply with this Section 5 and that all
conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been
complied with;


 


(b)           the
Parent Guarantor liquidates (other than pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law) and
complies, if applicable, with the provisions of the Indenture; provided that if
a Person and its Affiliates, if any, shall acquire all or substantially all of
the assets of the Parent Guarantor upon such liquidation the Parent Guarantor
shall liquidate only if:


 


(i)            the
Person and each such Affiliate (or the common corporate parent of such Person
and its Affiliates, if such Person and its Affiliates are wholly owned by such
parent) which acquire or will acquire all or a portion of the assets of the
Parent Guarantor shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental to the
Indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the
Trustee, all the obligations of the Parent Guarantor, under the Guarantee and
the Indenture and such Person or any of such Affiliates (or such parent) shall
be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or
any State thereof or the District of Columbia;


 


(ii)           immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event or
condition which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event
of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and


 


(iii)          the
Parent Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such liquidation and such supplemental
indenture


 





















 


comply with this Section 5 and that all conditions precedent
herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with; or


 


(c)           the
Company ceases for any reason to be a “wholly owned subsidiary” of the Parent
Guarantor (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(z) of Regulation S-X
promulgated by the Commission).


 


Upon any assumption of
the Guarantee by any Person pursuant to this Section 5, such Person may
exercise every right and power of the Parent Guarantor under the Guarantee and
the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been
named as the Parent Guarantor herein, and all the obligations of the Parent
Guarantor under the Guarantee and the Indenture shall terminate.


 


6.             When
Parent Guarantor May Merge, Etc.  The Parent Guarantor shall not consolidate
with or merge with or into any other Person or, directly or indirectly, sell,
lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets (computed on a
consolidated basis) to another Person, and may not permit any Person to,
directly or indirectly, sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its
assets to the Parent Guarantor, whether in a single transaction or a series of
related transactions, unless:


 


(a)           either
the Parent Guarantor shall be the continuing person, or the Person (if other
than the Parent Guarantor) formed by such consolidation or into or with which
the Parent Guarantor is merged or to which the assets of the Parent Guarantor
are transferred shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the
laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and
shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, executed
and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the
obligations of the Parent Guarantor under the Guarantee and the Indenture;


 


(b)           immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event or
condition which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event
of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and


 


(c)           the
Parent Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale,
conveyance or lease and such supplemental indenture comply with this Section 6
and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such
transaction have been complied with.


 


Upon any consolidation or
merger, or any sale, conveyance or lease of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Parent Guarantor, in accordance with this Section 6, the
successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the
Parent Guarantor is merged or to which such transfer is made shall succeed to,
and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation,
merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Second
Supplemental Indenture referring to the “Parent Guarantor” shall refer instead
to the successor corporation and not to the Parent Guarantor), and may exercise
every right and power of, the Parent Guarantor under the Guarantee and the
Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named
as the Parent Guarantor herein, and all


 





















 


the obligations of the predecessor Parent Guarantor under the Guarantee
and the Indenture shall terminate.


 


7.             Limitation
on Individual Liability.  No recourse
under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Second
Supplemental Indenture or the Guarantee, or for any claim based thereon or
otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator,
shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the
Parent Guarantor, the Company or any successor Person, either directly or
through the Parent Guarantor or the Company, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that this

corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall
attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, shareholders,

agreements contained in this Second Supplemental Indenture or in the Guarantee

indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in this Second Supplemental Indenture or in
the Guarantee or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as

and Effect.  Except as hereby
expressly amended, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and

force and effect.


 


Upon and after the

this Second Supplemental Indenture.  Each
signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same
