WHEREAS, Section 9.2 of the Indenture provides that the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture (other than certain provisions enumerated in Section 9.2 of the Indenture, none of which provisions are implicated hereby) without notice to any Noteholder (as defined in the Indenture), but with the written consent of the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;
