     WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.1(5) of the Indenture, the Trustee and the Issuer 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 Issuer, CTS and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows:
