Parent shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Notes against the Company in respect of any amount paid by the Parent on account of such Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Parent Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Parent 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 of the Notes have been paid in full.
