WHEREAS, the Indenture establishes certain conditions, as set forth in Section 4.13 thereof, under which Restricted Subsidiaries would be required to guarantee the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes, with Section 4.13 providing (among other things) that if, after the Issue Date, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall acquire or create another Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary or a Subsidiary that has been designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary), then the Issuer shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee (i) a supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture and (ii) a notation of guarantee in respect of its Note Guarantee; and
WHEREAS, on December 20, 2012, OmniGen Research, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“OmniGen”), became a Subsidiary of Prince Agri Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Restricted Subsidiary and, by virtue thereof, constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Foreign Subsidiary; and
WHEREAS, the Issuer has determined that OminGen is required to comply with Section 4.13 of the Indenture and execute a supplemental indenture under which OminGen will be bound by the Guarantee contemplated thereby; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 8.01(4) and (9) of the Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend, waive or supplement the Indenture, the Note Guarantee or the Notes without prior notice to or consent of any Holder to (i) add Note Guarantees with respect to the Notes, including any Subsidiary, and (ii) make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder under the Indenture; and
WHEREAS, this Third Supplemental Indenture amends or supplements the Indenture and also the Notation of Guarantee in the form attached as Exhibit G thereto to add OminGen as an additional Guarantor under the Indenture and as additional signatory to the Notation of Guarantee, and, accordingly satisfies the criteria of Section 8.01 of the Indenture; and
WHEREAS, the Issuer, each of the Guarantors existing prior to the date hereof, OminGen and the Trustee desire and have agreed to execute and deliver this Third Supplemental Indenture as herein provided and all conditions and requirements necessary to make this Third Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding and legal instrument in accordance with its terms have been performed and fulfilled and the execution and delivery hereof have been in all respects duly authorized by all necessary parties;
