Subject to Section 3 hereof, Section 3.03 of the Indenture is hereby amended to read as follows:

EFFECT AND OPERATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. This Supplemental Indenture shall be effective and binding immediately upon its execution by the Company and the Trustee, and thereupon this Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Note heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall be bound hereby; provided, however notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary, the amendments set forth in Section 2 of this Supplemental Indenture shall become operative only upon and simultaneously with, and shall have no force and effect prior to, such time that the Company accepts for purchase in the Tender Offer all outstanding Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Consent Payment Deadline (as defined in the Statement) (if the Requisite Consents (as defined in the Statement) have been received by the Consent Payment Deadline) or, otherwise, tendered prior to the Expiration Time. Prior to the time the Company purchases any Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer, the Company may terminate this Supplemental Indenture upon written notice to the Trustee, including in connection with any termination or withdrawal of the Tender Offer or the solicitation of Consents with respect to the Proposed Amendments or if for any other reason the Notes are not accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer. If the Tender Offer is terminated or withdrawn, or the Company does not accept for purchase, and pay for, the Notes for any reason, this Supplemental Indenture shall not become operative. Except as modified and amended by this Supplemental Indenture, all provisions of the Indenture and the Notes shall remain in full force and effect.

INDENTURE AND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE CONSTRUED TOGETHER. This Supplemental Indenture is an indenture supplemental to, and in implementation of, the Indenture, and the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture shall henceforth be read and construed together.

NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes, as amended by this Supplemental Indenture, or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator or against any past, present or future partner, stockholder, other equityholder, officer, director, employee or controlling person, as such, of the Company or of any successor Person, either directly or through the Company or any successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute, rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of the Notes, in each case as amended by this Supplemental Indenture.
