WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows:

As used in this Supplemental Indenture, terms defined in the Indenture or in the preamble or recital hereto are used herein as therein defined, except that the term “Holders” in this Supplemental Indenture shall refer to the term “Holders” as defined in the Indenture and the Trustee acting on behalf of and for the benefit of such Holders. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereby” and other words of similar import used in this Supplemental Indenture refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular section hereof.


2. Assumption of Obligations and Agreements under the Indenture and the Securities. The Company and Parent hereby expressly agree to assume and perform all of the respective obligations and agreements of Finance Sub and Intermediate Finance Sub under the Indenture and the Securities in the same manner as if it were originally named as the Issuer and Holdings under the Indenture and the Securities, such assumption to be effective upon the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture. All references in the Indenture and the Securities to the “Issuer” shall mean the Company from and after the date hereof and all references in the Indenture and the Securities to “Holdings” shall mean Parent from and after the date hereof. Upon the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company hereby directs the Trustee to adjust its books and records to reflect the Company as the “Issuer” under the Indenture and the Securities and to reflect Parent as “Holdings” under the Indenture and the Securities.

3. Agreement to Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby agree, jointly and severally with all existing Guarantors (if any), to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the Issuer’s Obligations under the Securities and the Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, including, but not limited to, Article 10 of the Indenture, and to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Securities and to perform all of the obligations and agreements of a Guarantor under the Indenture.
