     4. Modification, Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Supplemental Indenture may not be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except by the execution of a Supplemental Indenture executed by the Issuers, the Trustee and, to the extent such amendment, supplement or waiver limits or impairs the rights of any Securityholder, by such Securityholder. Any such amendment shall comply with Article 9 of the Indenture. Until an amendment, waiver or other action by Securityholders becomes effective, a consent thereto by a Securityholder of a Security hereunder is a continuing consent by the Securityholder and every subsequent Securityholder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same obligation as the consenting Securityholder’s Security, even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on the Security. However, any such Securityholder or subsequent Securityholder may revoke the consent, waiver or action as to such Securityholder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, waiver or action becomes effective.

conflict between the terms and conditions of the Indenture and the terms and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture, then the terms and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture shall prevail. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every holder of Securities heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.

If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture modifies or excludes any provisions of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the provisions of the TIA shall be deemed to apply to the Indenture as so modified or to be excluded by this Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be.

     7. Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.

     8. Trustee Makes No Representation. The statements herein are deemed to be those of the Company, OCI or OFI, as applicable, and not of the Trustee. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture.

     9. Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Supplemental Indenture.

     10. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not effect the construction thereof.

     11. Notices. Any request, demand, authorization, notice, waiver, consent or communication to any of the parties shall be made as set forth in Section 12.02 of the Indenture, as said Section may be amended hereby.

     12. Successors. All agreements of each of the Company, OCI and OFI in respect of this Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successor.
