Except as modified by this Supplemental Indenture, the Existing Indenture and the Notes, and the rights of the Holders of the Notes thereunder, shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
(b)    Operation of Amendments. The provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall not become operative until the date and time (such date and time, the “Operational Time”) the Issuer notifies (in writing) D.F. King & Co., Inc., as depositary for the Notes under the Tender Offer (the “Depositary”), that the Issuer has purchased the Notes tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer.
