     WHEREAS, NNC, NNL, NNI and the Trustee have heretofore executed and delivered the Original Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture;
     WHEREAS, Section 901(12) of the Original Indenture provides that NNC, NNL, NNI and the Trustee may enter into indentures supplemental to the Original Indenture to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision therein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision therein;
     WHEREAS, NNC, NNL and NNI have determined that clause (b) of the definition of Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in the Original Indenture is defective and inconsistent with the other provisions of such definition; and
