(b) Subject to this Section 11.01, upon executing a counterpart of this Indenture or an indenture supplemental hereto in order to provide the Air Liquide Guarantee, Air Liquide hereby unconditionally guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities held thereby and the obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, upon repurchase or redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and premium, if any, and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on the Securities, and all other payment obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full and performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, upon repurchase or redemption or otherwise. Failing payment when so due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, Air Liquide will be obligated to pay the same immediately.

Air Liquide hereby agrees that 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 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 (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of Air Liquide. Air Liquide further, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives 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 this Air Liquide Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture.

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, Air Liquide, or any Custodian, Trustee or other similar official acting in relation to either of the Company or Air Liquide, any amount paid by the Company or Air Liquide to the Trustee or such Holder, the Air Liquide Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Air Liquide further agrees that, as between Air Liquide, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 hereof for the purposes of this Air Liquide Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by Air Liquide for the purpose of this Air Liquide Guarantee.

Air Liquide shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities against the Company in respect of any amount paid by Air Liquide on account of such Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Air Liquide Guarantee or this Indenture; provided, however, that Air Liquide shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and any premium and interest on, all Securities issued hereunder shall have been paid in full.

(c) To evidence the Air Liquide Guarantee set forth in this Section 11.01, Air Liquide hereby agrees that a notation of such Air Liquide Guarantee substantially in the form set forth in paragraph (d) of this Section 11.01 will be endorsed by manual or facsimile signature by an authorized signatory of Air Liquide on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

Air Liquide hereby agrees that the Air Liquide Guarantee set forth in this Section 11.01 will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Air Liquide Guarantee. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on the notation of the Air Liquide Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which a notation of the Air Liquide Guarantee is endorsed, the Air Liquide Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Air Liquide Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of Air Liquide.
