or to a Successor Guarantee Trustee on acceptance by such Successor

If an Event of
Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee
Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Guarantee Trustee shall
enforce this Guarantee for the benefit of the Holders of the

Securities.
(c)
The Guarantee
Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after
the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have
occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Guarantee, and no implied covenants
shall be read into this Guarantee against the Guarantee
Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has
not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.4) and is
actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee,
the Guarantee Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Guarantee, and use the same degree of care and
skill in its
6
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 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, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not
be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations
as are specifically set forth in this Guarantee, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Guarantee against
the Guarantee Trustee; 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; but in the case
of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof
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;
(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
shall be proved that such Responsible Officer of the Guarantee
Trustee or the Guarantee Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts upon which such 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
written direction of the Holders of not less than a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Capital Securities relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Guarantee Trustee, or relating to the exercise of
any trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this
Guarantee; and
(iv)
no provision of
this Guarantee 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 for believing that the repayment of such funds
is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Guarantee
or security and indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantee
Trustee, against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to it.
7
Section 2.2
Certain Rights of the
Guarantee Trustee.
(a)
Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.1:
(i)
The Guarantee
Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
indebtedness or other paper or document 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 shall be
sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s
Certificate.
(iii)
Whenever, in the
administration of this Guarantee, the Guarantee Trustee shall deem
it desirable that a matter be proved or established before taking,
suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee
(unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in
the absence of bad faith on its part, request and conclusively rely
upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Guarantor which, upon
receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the
Guarantor.
(iv)
The Guarantee
Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or
registration of any instrument (or any re-recording, refiling or
re-registration thereof).
(v)
The Guarantee
Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice
or opinion of such counsel with respect to legal matters shall be
full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and
in accordance with such advice or opinion. Such counsel may be
counsel to the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates and may include
any of its employees. The Guarantee Trustee shall have the
right at any time to seek instructions concerning the
administration of this Guarantee from any court of competent
jurisdiction.
(vi)
The Guarantee
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights
or powers vested in it by this Guarantee at the request or
direction of any Holder, unless such Holder shall have provided to
the Guarantee Trustee such security and indemnity, reasonably
satisfactory to the Guarantee Trustee, against the costs, expenses
(including attorneys’ fees and expenses and the expenses of
the Guarantee Trustee’s agents, nominees or custodians) and
liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such
request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be
requested by the Guarantee Trustee; provided ,
however , that nothing contained in this Section 2.2(a)(vi)
shall 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.
(vii)
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, but the Guarantee Trustee, in its
discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into
such facts or matters as it may see fit.
8
(viii)
The Guarantee
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents, nominees, custodians or attorneys, and the Guarantee
Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it
hereunder.
(ix)
Any action taken
by the Guarantee Trustee or its agents hereunder shall bind the
Holders of the Debentures and the Holders of the Capital
Securities, and the signature of the Guarantee Trustee or its
agents alone shall be sufficient and effective to perform any such
action. No third party shall be required to inquire as to the
authority of the Guarantee Trustee to so act or as to its
compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this Guarantee,
both of which shall be conclusively evidenced by the Guarantee
Trustee’s or its agent’s taking such
action.
(x)
Whenever in the
administration of this Guarantee the Guarantee Trustee shall deem
it desirable to receive instructions with r
