WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the Indenture), dated as of April 23, 2004, providing for the issuance of 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the Notes);
WHEREAS, the Company has converted to a limited liability company, and the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Co-Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Co-Issuer shall become a co-issuer of the Notes;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is 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 Co-Issuer and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefits 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. AGREEMENT TO CO-ISSUE. The Co-Issuer hereby agrees to be deemed the co-issuer of the Notes under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and shall, jointly with the Company, assume all obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement.
