WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances described therein, newly created or acquired Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture to the Indenture providing for a senior subordinated guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary (the “SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01(g) of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture without the consent of the Holders Notes.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
2. GUARANTEE, ETC. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees that from and after the date hereof it shall be a Guarantor under the Indenture and be bound by the terms thereof applicable to Guarantors and shall be entitled to all of the rights and subject to all the obligations of a Guarantor thereunder.
3. RATIFICATION OF INDENTURE; SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES PART OF INDENTURE. The Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every holder of Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.
4. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Guarantee granted by it pursuant to the terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.
5. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary (or any successor entity) (other than the Company or the Existing Guarantors), as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company, TD Group, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary or any other Guarantor under the Notes, any Guarantee, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
6. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THE GUARANTEE GRANTED HEREUNDER WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
7. COUNTERPART 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.
8. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered part of this Supplemental Indenture and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.
9. THE TRUSTEE.
