For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Securities by the Holders thereof and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of Securities of any and all series established on or after the date hereof, as follows:
