ARTICLE TWO
GUARANTEE

Pursuant to Section 901 of the Base Indenture, the Company and the Trustee hereby provide and the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

     Section 2.01     The Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the "Guarantee"), as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the 2028 Debentures and obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the 2028 Debentures, and guarantees to each Holder of a 2028 Debenture authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee for itself and on behalf of such Holder, that: (1) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the 2028 Debentures shall be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Law")) together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any 2028 Debentures or of any such other obligations, the same shall be 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.

          (a)     The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the 2028 Debentures or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor.

          (b)     The Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) the benefits 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 or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee shall not be discharged as to any 2028 Debenture except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such 2028 Debenture, the Indenture and the Guarantee. The Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantee is a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due and not of collection. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such 2028 Debenture, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such 2028 Debenture, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company. The Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the Maturity of the 2028 Debentures, to collect interest on the 2028 Debentures, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the 2028 Debentures, the Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holder, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.

          (c)     If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or the Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee on the other hand, (1) subject to the provisions of the Guarantee, the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five 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 (2) in the event of any acceleration of such obligation as provided in Article Five of the Base Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee.

          (d)     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 2028 Debentures are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the 2028 Debentures, 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 2028 Debentures 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 2.02  Severability.  In case any provision of the Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby to the extent permitted by applicable law.

     Section 2.03  Subrogation.  The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of this First Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under the Indenture or the 2028 Debentures shall have been paid in full.

     Section 2.04  Reinstatement.  The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantee provided for in Section 2.01 of this First Supplemental Indenture shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligations or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by a Holder to the Company upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or the Guarantor.

     Section 2.05  Release. The Guarantee shall automatically and unconditionally be released and discharged, and no further action by the Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee is required for the release of the Guarantee, upon exercise by the Company of its defeasance of the Notes under Section 403(a) or (b) the Base Indenture or if the Company's obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Section 401 of the Base Indenture.
