Holders, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not transfer this Guarantee Agreement to any Person except
to a Successor Guarantee Trustee on acceptance by that Successor Guarantee Trustee of its
appointment to act as Guarantee Trustee hereunder. The right, title, and interest of the Guarantee
Trustee hereunder, as such, shall automatically vest in any Successor Guarantee Trustee, upon
acceptance by that Successor Guarantee Trustee of its appointment hereunder, and that vesting and
cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents have been executed and
delivered pursuant to the appointment of that Successor Guarantee Trustee.

     (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which the Guarantee Trustee is
deemed to have knowledge pursuant to Section 2.7(b), the Guarantee Trustee shall enforce
this Guarantee Agreement for the benefit of the Holders.

     (c) The Guarantee Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing
of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform only those duties as are
specifically set forth in this Guarantee Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.1), and
no implied covenants shall be read into this Guarantee Agreement against the Guarantee Trustee. If
an Event of Default has occurred of which the Guarantee Trustee is deemed to have knowledge
pursuant to Section 2.7(b) that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section
2.6, the Guarantee Trustee shall exercise those of the rights and powers vested in it by

 - 6 - 

 

this Guarantee Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof,
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own
affairs.

     (d) No provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Guarantee
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own
willful misconduct, except that:

          (i) Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all
such Events of Default that may have occurred:

               (A) the duties and obligations of the Guarantee Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Guarantee Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.1), and the
Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
those duties and obligations as
are specifically set forth in this Guarantee Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.1);
and

               (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Guarantee Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Guarantee Agreement; but in the case of any such
certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof or of the Trust Indenture Act are
specifically required to be furnished to the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
this Guarantee Agreement.

          (ii) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by
a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee, unless it is proved that the Guarantee Trustee was
negligent or committed misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts upon which that judgment was
made.

          (iii) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a
Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities relating to the time, method, and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee Agreement.

          (iv) No provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall require the Guarantee Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Guarantee Trustee shall have
reasonable grounds to believe that the repayment of those funds or liability is not reasonably
assured to it under the terms of this Guarantee Agreement or adequate indemnity against that risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 3.2. Certain Rights of Guarantee Trustee.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1:

 - 7 - 

 

          (i) The Guarantee Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,

document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or presented by the
proper party or parties.

          (ii) Any direction or act of the Guarantor contemplated by this Guarantee Agreement shall be
sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate unless otherwise prescribed herein.

          (iii) Whenever, in the administration of this Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantee Trustee deems
it desirable that a matter be proved or established before taking, suffering, or omitting to take
any action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (unless other evidence is specifically prescribed
herein) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and rely upon an Officers’
Certificate which, upon receipt of that request from the Guarantee Trustee, shall be promptly
delivered by the Guarantor.

          (iv) The Guarantee Trustee may consult with legal counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the
Guarantor or any of its Affiliates, and which may include any of its employees), and the written
advice or opinion of that legal counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with that advice or opinion. The Guarantee Trustee shall
have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Guarantee
Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction.

          (v) The Guarantee Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement at the request or direction of any Holder unless that
Holder shall have provided to the Guarantee Trustee such reasonable security or indemnity against
the costs, expenses, and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with that request
or direction; provided that nothing contained in this Section 3.2(a)(v) shall be taken to
relieve the Guarantee Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to
exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement.

          (vi) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness, or other
paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the Guarantee
Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into those facts or
matters as it may see fit.

          (vii) The Guarantee Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys, and the Guarantee
Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or
attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder.

          (viii) Whenever in the administration of this Guarantee Agreement the Guarantee Trustee shall
deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking
any other action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (A) may request

 - 8 - 

 

instructions from the Holders holding a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities, (B) may refrain from enforcing that remedy or right
or taking that other action until
those instructions are received, and (C) shall be protected in
acting in accordance with those
instructions.

          (ix) Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantee Trustee
shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of
this Guarantee Agreement.

     (b) No provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation
on the Guarantee Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty, or
obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it is illegal, or in which the

     (a) There shall at all times be a Guarantee Trustee which shall:

          (i) not be an Affiliate of the Guarantor; and

          (ii) be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and shall be a corporation meeting the
requirements of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. If that corporation publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of its supervising or examining
authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 4.1 and to the extent permitted by the
Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of that corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

     (b) If at any time the Guarantee Trustee ceases to be eligible to so act under Section
4.1(a), the Guarantee Trustee shall immediately resign in the manner and with the effect set
forth in Section 4.2.

     (c) If the Guarantee Trustee has or acquires any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Guarantee Trustee and Guarantor shall either
eliminate that interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the
provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and Section 4.2.

SECTION 4.2. Appointment, Removal, and Resignation of the Guarantee Trustee.

     (a) Subject to Section 4.2(c), the Guarantee Trustee may be appointed or removed at
any time by the action of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities delivered to the Guarantee Trustee and the Guarantor (i) for cause or (ii) if a
Debenture Event of Default (as defined in the Trust Agreement) has occurred and is continuing at
any time.

     (b) Subject to Section 4.2(c), the Guarantee Trustee may resign from office (without
need for prior or subsequent accounting) by giving written notice thereof to the Holders and the
Guarantor and appointing a successor Guarantee Trustee. The Guarantee Trustee shall appoint a

     (c) The Guarantee Trustee appointed hereunder shall hold office until a Successor Guarantee
Trustee has been appointed and has accepted that appointment. No removal or

resignation of a Guarantee Trustee shall be effective until a Successor Guarantee Trustee has
been appointed, accepted that appointment by written instrument executed by that Successor
Guarantee Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor and, in the case of any resignation, the resigning
Guarantee Trustee.

     (d) If no Successor Guarantee Trustee has been appointed and accepted appointment as provided
in this Section 4.2 within 60 days after delivery to the Holders and the Guarantor of a
notice of resignation, the resigning Guarantee Trustee may petition, at the expense of the
Guarantor, any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a Successor Guarantee Trustee.
That court may thereupon, after prescribing that notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a
Successor Guarantee Trustee.

     (e) If a resigning Guarantee Trustee fails to appoint a successor, or if a Guarantee Trustee
is removed or become incapable of acting as Guarantee Trustee and a replacement is not appointed
prior to that resignation or removal, or if a vacancy occurs in the office of Guarantee Trustee for
any cause, the Holders of the Preferred Securities, by the action of the Holders of record of not
less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Preferred
Securities then Outstanding (as defined in the Trust Agreement) delivered to that Guarantee
Trustee, may appoint a Successor Guarantee Trustee or Trustees.

     If no successor Guarantee Trustee has been so appointed by the Holders of the Preferred
Securities and accepted appointment, any Holder of the Trust Securities, on behalf of that Holder
and all others similarly situated, or any other Guarantee Trustee, may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Guarantee Trustee.

regardless of any defense, right of set-off, or counterclaim that the Issuer Trust may have or

intent of this Section 5.3 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

this Guarantee Agreement or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee
under this Guarantee Agreement; and (iv) any Holder may institute a legal proceeding directly
against the Guarantor to enforce its rights under this

 - 12 - 

 

Guarantee Agreement without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Guarantee
Trustee, the Issuer Trust, or any other Person.

SECTION 5.5. Guarantee of Payment.

subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement, or other agreement, in all cases as a result of
payment under this Guarantee Agreement, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due
and unpaid under this Guarantee Agreement. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in
violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold that amount in trust for the
Holders and to pay over that amount to the Holders.
