WHEREAS, the entry into of this Supplemental Indenture by the parties hereto is in all respects authorized by the provisions of the Indenture, and all things necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Corporation, the Guarantors and the Trustee in accordance with its terms have been done.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises contained herein, it is mutually covenanted and agreed for the benefit of all Holders of the Securities as follows:

1.    Definitions. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

2.    Guarantee.

The New Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally with the Existing Guarantor, to each Holder of Securities, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities, and the due and punctual payment of any Additional Amounts that may be payable with respect to such Securities, 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 Indenture. In case of the failure of the Corporation punctually to make any such payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, or any Additional Amounts that may be payable with respect to the Securities, the New 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 Corporation.

The New Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Securities, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of the Securities, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Corporation with respect thereto or hereto, by the Holder of the Securities 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 New Guarantor, increase the principal amount of the Securities, or increase the interest rate thereon, or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof. The New Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Corporation, any right to require a proceeding first against the Corporation, protest or notice with respect to the Securities or the indebtedness evidenced thereby, or with respect to any Additional Amounts that may be payable with respect to the Securities and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that its obligations under this Section 2.1 will not be discharged except by statute of limitation or 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 Securities.

The New Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of each Holder of the Securities, the Trustee and any Paying Agent against the Corporation in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the New Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1; provided, however, that until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities issued under the Indenture and Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities shall have been paid in full, such rights shall be exercised and enforced by the New Guarantor only in such manner and on such terms as the Trustee may require or approve.

Any term or provision of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Securities guaranteed hereunder by the New Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by the New Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to the New 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 Supplemental Indenture, the New Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the obligations to compensate, reimburse, and indemnify the Trustee under the Indenture shall apply to the New Guarantor and that the Guarantors and the Corporation, jointly and severally, are obligated to compensate, reimburse, and indemnify the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, the New Guarantor hereby agrees that this Supplemental Indenture shall be executed on behalf of the New Guarantor by one or more authorized officers or persons holding an equivalent title.

The New Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 2.1 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Securities.

The Guarantee shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and the New Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under the Guarantee and its obligations under the Indenture, without any action by the Corporation, the New Guarantor or the Trustee, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

Upon any such occurrence specified in this Section 2.3, if requested by the Corporation, the Trustee shall, at the Corporation’s expense, execute any documents reasonably requested by the Corporation in order to evidence such release and discharge.

3.    Effect. This Supplemental Indenture shall become effective upon its execution and delivery by the parties hereto.

4.    Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the validity as to the Corporation, the New Guarantor or the Existing Guarantor or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or as to the due execution hereof by the Corporation, the New Guarantor or the Existing Guarantor or as to recitals of fact contained herein, all of which are made solely by the Corporation, the New Guarantor and the Existing Guarantor.

5.    GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

6.    Counterparts. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.

7.    Effect on Indenture. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes and every holder of Securities heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.

8.    Acknowledgment of Existing Guarantor. The Existing Guarantor hereby acknowledges the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, and the Existing Guarantee provided thereunder, and acknowledges that the Guarantees are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors.

9.    Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

10.    Severability.
