NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
1.
CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
2.
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR. The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby agree to each be Guarantors under the Indenture and to be bound by, and in accordance with, the terms of the Indenture applicable to Guarantors, including Article 10 thereof.

Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
