2.1
Agreement to Guarantee

The Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of Notes, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, the due and punctual payment of any sinking fund or analogous payments that may be payable with respect to such Notes and the due and punctual payment of any Additional Amounts that may be payable with respect to such Notes, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether on the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms hereof and of the Original Indenture, as supplemented by the supplemental indentures heretofore executed by the Issuer and the Trustee. In case of the failure of the Issuer punctually to make any such payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, or any such sinking fund or analogous payment that may be payable with respect to the Notes or any Additional Amounts that may be payable with respect to the Notes, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether on the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Issuer.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Notes, the





Original Indenture or this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of the Notes, the Original Indenture or this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto or hereto, by the Holder of the Notes or the Trustee or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of the Notes, or increase the interest rate thereon, or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to the Notes or the indebtedness evidenced thereby, or with respect to any sinking fund or analogous payment that may be payable with respect to the Notes or with respect to any Additional Amounts that may be payable with respect to the Notes and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that its obligations under this Section
2.1 will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on and any Additional Amounts that may be payable with respect to the Notes.

Any term or provision of the Original Indenture, as supplemented by the supplemental indentures heretofore executed by the Issuer and the Trustee, and this Eighth Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Notes guaranteed hereunder by the Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by the Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to the Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, corporate benefit, financial assistance or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

By executing this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the obligations to compensate, reimburse, and indemnify the Trustee under the Original Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 6.03 of the Original Indenture, shall apply to the Guarantor and that the Guarantor and the Issuer, jointly and severally, are obligated to compensate, reimburse, and indemnify the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Original Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 6.03 of the Original Indenture.

2.4
Release of Guarantee
