The obligations of the Co-Obligors hereunder are primary and not merely those of a surety. The Co-Obligors hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice and all demands whatsoever with respect to the Securities or the indebtedness evidenced thereby, and covenants that the Co-Obligation hereunder will not be discharged as to the Indenture or the Securities except in accordance with Article 4 of the Indenture.

The signatures of such officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. The Co-Obligation endorsed on any Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers shall bind the Co-Obligors notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Co-Obligation endorsed on such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.”
