part, request and rely upon an Officers’ Certificate which, upon receipt of such request from the Guarantee Trustee, shall be promptly delivered by the Parent Guarantor.

(b) No provision of this Parent 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 shall be illegal, or in which the Guarantee Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the Guarantee Trustee shall be construed to be a duty to act in accordance with such power and authority.

This Parent Guarantee Agreement will not be discharged except by payment of the Parent Guarantee Payments in full (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid by the Company) or upon payment in full of the Notes and all amounts owed by the Company under the Indenture to the Note Holders or beneficiary thereof.

SECTION 5.6. Subrogation.

The Parent Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights of the Trust, the Note Holders and the Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to the Trust or the Note Holders by the Parent Guarantor under this Parent Guarantee Agreement and shall have the right to waive payment by the Company pursuant to Section 5.1; provided, that, the Parent Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this Parent Guarantee Agreement, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Parent Guarantee Agreement. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Parent Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders, Note Holders and the holders of any beneficial interests thereof and to pay over such amount to the appropriate Note Holder or Holder, as applicable.

SECTION 5.7. Independent Obligations.

The Parent Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Company with respect to the Notes, any other guarantee agreement and with respect to any obligations of the Parent Guarantor, the Trust or the Company with respect to the Notes and the Preferred Securities and that the Parent Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to make Parent Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this Parent

Guarantee Agreement notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a) through (g), inclusive, of Section 5.3.

SECTION 5.8. Enforcement.

A Beneficiary or a Note Holder may enforce the Obligations of the Parent Guarantor contained in Section 5.1(c) directly against the Parent Guarantor, and the Parent Guarantor waives any right or remedy to require that any action be brought against the Company or any other person or entity before proceeding against the Parent Guarantor.

ARTICLE VI

SECTION 6.1. Subordination.

(a) The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Parent Guarantee Agreement will constitute unsecured obligations of the Parent Guarantor and will rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt of the Parent Guarantor.

(b) The right of the Parent Guarantor to participate in any distribution of assets of any of its subsidiaries upon such subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is subject to the prior claims or creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent the Parent Guarantor may itself be recognized as a creditor of that subsidiary. Accordingly, the Parent Guarantor’s obligations under the Parent Guarantee Agreement will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of the Parent Guarantor’s subsidiaries, and claimants should look only to the assets of the Parent Guarantor for payments thereunder. This Parent Guarantee Agreement does not limit the incurrence or issuance of other secured or unsecured debt of the Parent Guarantor, including Senior Debt of the Parent Guarantor.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

SECTION 7.1. Termination.

This Parent Guarantee Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon (a) full payment of the Redemption Price of all Preferred Securities or (b) full payment of the Notes and all amounts payable in accordance with the Indenture upon liquidation of the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Parent Guarantee Agreement will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any Holder, the Note Holder or the Trust must restore payment of any sums paid with respect to Preferred Securities. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under Sections 3.3 and 3.4 shall survive any such termination or the resignation and removal of the Guarantee Trustee.

ARTICLE VIII
