WHEREAS, the Issuer proposes in and by this Supplemental Indenture to supplement and amend the Indenture in certain respects as it applies to the Notes (and any other series of Securities issued thereunder after the date of this Supplemental Indenture);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901(9) of the Indenture, the Issuer, the New Guarantors and the Trustee are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes; and

WHEREAS, all the conditions and requirements necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding and legal instrument in accordance with its terms have been performed and fulfilled by the Issuer and the New Guarantors (together the “Obligors”) and the execution and delivery hereof have been in all respects duly authorized by the Obligors.

2

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises, each party agrees, for the benefit of the others and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the Holders of any Securities issued under the Indenture after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, as follows:

Article One
REAFFIRMATION, ACCESSION AND AMENDMENT

SECTION 1.01.         Reaffirmation. The Issuer hereby expressly and unconditionally reaffirms each and every covenant, agreement and undertaking of such party in the Indenture.

SECTION 1.02.         Note Guarantee.

(a)            Each New Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, on a joint and several basis, to each Holder of Notes (including each Holder of Securities issued under the Indenture after the date of this Supplemental Indenture) and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, (i) the full and punctual payment of all monetary obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture. Each New Guarantor further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the absence or existence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer (except to the extent such judgment is paid) or any waiver or amendment of the provisions of the Indenture or the Notes (or such other Securities) to the extent that any such action or any similar action would otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such New Guarantor (except that such waiver or amendment shall be effective in accordance with its terms).

(b)            Each New Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance and not merely of collection.

(c)            Each New Guarantor further agrees to waive presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of its Guarantee, and also waives diligence, notice of acceptance of its Guarantee, presentment, demand for payment, notice of protest for nonpayment, the filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer and any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer or any other Person. The obligations of each New Guarantor shall not be affected by any failure or policy on the part of the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy under the Indenture or the Notes of any series.

(d)            The obligation of each New Guarantor to make any payment hereunder may be satisfied by causing the Issuer or another Obligor to make such payment. If any Holder of any Note or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or any Obligor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Issuer or any such Obligor any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, any applicable Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

3

(e)            Each New Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder of Notes in enforcing any of their respective rights under its Guarantee.

(f)            Any term or provision of this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of each New Guarantor’s Guarantee shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Supplemental Indenture, as it relates to such New Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary, no obligation of the Issuer shall be (or shall be deemed to be) guaranteed by, or otherwise supported directly or indirectly by the assets of, any New Guarantor to the extent its Guarantee could, as determined by the Issuer (acting reasonably and in good faith), result in material adverse U.S. tax consequences for the Issuer or any of its direct or indirect owners or subsidiaries.

SECTION 1.03.         Benefits Acknowledged. Each New Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and that its Guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 1.04.         Termination of Guarantee. The Guarantee of each New Guarantor shall be automatically released and shall terminate upon (i) the merger of such New Guarantor with or into any other Obligor, (ii) the consolidation of such New Guarantor with another Obligor or (iii) the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of such New Guarantor to another Obligor. At the written request of the Issuer, and subject to Section 102 of the Indenture, the Trustee will execute and deliver any documents or instruments reasonably required to evidence any such release.

Article Two

This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one instrument.

SECTION 2.08.         Separability. In case one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Notes, but this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

SECTION 2.09.         Successors and Assigns. All agreements of the Issuer in this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors, all agreements of each New Guarantor in this Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors and all agreements of the Trustee in this Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors.
