The Guarantor hereby agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same. The Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the benefit of 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 its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and this Guarantee. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any holder of Securities or the Trustee is required by any court or governmental authority to return to the Company or to the Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid or delivered by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee or such holder of Securities, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Guarantor further agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the holders of Securities and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article 16, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 5 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

Section 16.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each holder of Securities, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the holders of Securities and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article 16 shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article 16 not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under such laws.

Section 16.03. Release of the Guarantee. The Guarantee will be automatically released upon:

(a)     the sale of all or substantially all of the Guarantor’s assets to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, so long as the sale or other disposition does not violate any provisions of Article 10 herein required to be performed at the time of such transaction;

(b)    the satisfaction and discharge in full of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(c)    in connection with the dissolution or liquidation of the Guarantor.

As a condition precedent to any such release of the Guarantee, the Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions provided for in this Indenture relating to such release have been complied with.

Section 16.04. Waiver of Subrogation. Until all amounts then due and payable and/or deliverable by the Company under this Indenture or the Securities have been paid and/or delivered in full, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Securities or this Indenture and the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the holders of Securities against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other assets or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid or delivered to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the

14

Trustee or the holders of Securities under the Securities or this Indenture, shall not have been paid or delivered in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid or delivered to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the holders of Securities and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such holders of Securities to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or the holders of Securities, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 16.04 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 16.05. No Set Off. Each payment or delivery to be made by the Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Guarantee Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such Guarantee Obligations are denominated or deliverable in the consideration in which such Guarantee Obligations shall be delivered hereunder, as the case may be, and shall be made without set off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 16.06. Guarantee Obligations Continuing. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. The Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability hereunder and under any other instrument or instruments in such form as the Trustee may reasonably request and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default hereunder being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of the Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of the Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or reasonably advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of the Guarantor hereunder.

Section 16.07. Guarantee Obligations Not Reduced. Subject to Section 16.03, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged solely by the payment and/or delivery of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees, consideration due upon conversion and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 11 be or become owing or payable or deliverable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Securities or this Indenture.

Section 16.08. Guarantee Obligations Reinstated. Subject to Section 16.03, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or delivery which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the

15

holders of Securities upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, all as though such payment or delivery had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment or delivery by the Company is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, all such indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or delivery or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable or deliverable, as the case may be, by the Guarantor as provided herein.

Section 16.09. Guarantee Obligations Not Affected. Subject to Section 16.03, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment or delivery hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by any of the holders of Securities) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against the Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate the Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the holders of Securities or otherwise, including, without limitation:

(a)     any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Company or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding involving or affecting the Company or any other Person;

(b)    any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other document or instrument;

(c)    any failure of the Company, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, or to give notice thereof to the Guarantor;

(d)    the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against the Company or any other Person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy;

(e)    the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;

(f)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Securities, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Securities or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities;

16

(g)    any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of the Company or the Guarantor;

(h)    any merger or amalgamation of the Company or the Guarantor with any Person or Persons;

(i)    the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guarantee Obligations or the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee; and

(j)    any other circumstance (other than a release of the Guarantor pursuant to Section 13.03 and other than by complete, irrevocable payment and/or delivery, as the case may be) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Company under this Indenture or the Securities or of the Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee hereunder.

Section 16.10. Waiver. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 16.01, the Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of the Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the holders of Securities upon the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Company, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment or non-delivery of any of the Guarantee Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Company or the Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

Section 16.11. No Obligation to Take Action Against the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies against the Company or any other Person or any property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment, delivery and/or performance by the Guarantor of its liabilities and obligations under its Guarantee or under this Indenture.

Section 16.12. Dealing with the Company and Others. The holders of Securities and the Trustee, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to the Guarantor, may to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

(a)    grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;

(b)    take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Company or from perfecting security or collateral of the Company;

(c)    release, discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal with or do any act or thing in respect of (with or without consideration) any and all collateral, mortgages or other security given by the Company or any third party with respect to the obligations or matters contemplated by this Indenture or the Securities;

17

(d)    accept compromises or arrangements from the Company;

(e)    apply all monies at any time received from the Company or from any security upon such part of the Guarantee Obligations as the holders of Securities may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the holders of Securities may see fit; and

(f)    otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Company and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit.

Section 16.13. Default and Enforcement. If the Guarantor fails to pay or deliver in accordance with Section 16.01 hereof, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the Guarantee of the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s Guarantee Obligations thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from the Guarantor the Guarantee Obligations.

Section 16.14. Amendment, Etc. Without limitation to the provisions of Article 9, no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture relating to the Guarantor or consent to any departure by the Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by the Guarantor and the Trustee.

Section 16.15. Costs and Expenses. The Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee any and all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) incurred by the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the holders of Securities in enforcing any of their rights under the Guarantee.

Section 16.16. No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantee shall not operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of the Guarantor under any other agreement, including, without limitation, this Indenture. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the holders of Securities, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Securities, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Securities preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Guarantee and under this Indenture, the Securities and any other document or instrument between the Guarantor and/or the Company and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided by law.

In accordance with Section 15.07(a) of the Indenture, from and after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Securities into cash and/or Common Stock is hereby changed, effective as of the date hereof, to a right to convert such $1,000 principal amount of Securities into cash and/or units of Reference Property.

As and to the extent required by Section 15.03 of the Indenture, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as a result of events occurring subsequent to the date hereof with respect to the Reference Property as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Article 15 of the Indenture with respect to the Common Stock.

Notwithstanding the agreement of the Guarantor to issue the Guarantee pursuant to Article 16 of the Indenture, the Company remains the issuer of the Securities and fully liable for all of its obligations under the Indenture and has not been released from any liabilities or obligations thereunder except for the issuance of the Common Stock of the Company upon conversion of the Securities pursuant to Article 15 of the Indenture.

EXHIBIT B

FORM OF

NOTATION OF GUARANTEE

The Guarantor signing below has fully, unconditionally and absolutely guaranteed, to the extent set forth in the Indenture and subject to the provisions in the Indenture, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities to which this notation is affixed and all other amounts due and payable under the Indenture and the Securities to which this notation is affixed by the Company.
