Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prevent the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted<br />

Subsidiary from engaging in a sale and leaseback transaction solely between the Parent Guarantor and<br />

any Restricted Subsidiary or solely between or among Restricted Subsidiaries.<br />

Limitation on Guarantees of Debt by Restricted Subsidiaries<br />

(1) The Parent Guarantor will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Issuer or a<br />

Guarantor, directly or indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable<br />

for the payment of any Pari passu Debt or Subordinated Debt of the Issuer (other than the<br />

Notes), the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor, unless:<br />

(a) (i) such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental<br />

indenture to the Indenture providing for a Guarantee of payment of the Notes by<br />

such Restricted Subsidiary on the same terms as the guarantee of such Debt; and<br />

(ii) with respect to any guarantee of Subordinated Debt by such Restricted Subsidiary,<br />

any such guarantee shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee<br />

with respect to the Notes at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Debt is<br />

subordinated to the Notes; and<br />

(b) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or<br />

take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or<br />

subrogation or any other rights against the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted<br />

Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its<br />

Guarantee.<br />

This paragraph (1) will not be applicable to any guarantees of any Restricted Subsidiary:<br />

(i) guaranteeing Debt under Credit Facilities permitted to be incurred pursuant to<br />

paragraph (2)(b) of ‘‘—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Debt’’ or existing on the date of the<br />

Indenture;<br />

(ii) that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary if the guarantee was not<br />

incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted<br />

Subsidiary; or<br />

(iii) given to a bank or trust company having combined capital and surplus and undivided profits<br />

of not less than A500 million, whose debt has a rating, at the time such guarantee was given,<br />

of at least A or the equivalent thereof by S&P and at least A2 or the equivalent thereof by<br />

Moody’s, in connection with the operation of cash management programs established for the<br />

Parent Guarantor’s benefit or that of any Restricted Subsidiary.<br />

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantee of the Notes created pursuant to the provisions<br />

described in paragraph (1) above may provide by its terms that it will be automatically and<br />

unconditionally released and discharged upon:<br />

(a) any sale, exchange or transfer, to any Person who is not the Parent Guarantor’s Affiliate,<br />

of all of the Capital <strong>Stock</strong> owned by the Parent Guarantor and its other Restricted<br />

Subsidiaries in, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary (which<br />

sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by the Indenture); or<br />

(b) (with respect to any Guarantee created after the date of the Indenture) the release by the<br />

holders of the Issuer’s, the Parent Guarantor’s or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Debt<br />

described in paragraph (1) above, of their guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary<br />
