Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or Co-Issuer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or with which the Issuer or Co-Issuer, as applicable, is merged or to which such sale,

assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the Issuer or Co-Issuer, as applicable, shall refer instead to the successor Issuer or Co-Issuer, as applicable), and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer or Co-Issuer, as applicable under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer or Co-Issuer, as applicable, herein, and the predecessor Issuer or Co-Issuer, as applicable, will be automatically released and discharged from its obligations under the Indenture and the Notes; provided that the predecessor Issuer or Co-Issuer, as applicable, shall not be relieved from its obligation in the case of a lease.”

Section 3.  This Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Section 4.  This Supplemental Indenture may be signed in various counterparts which together will constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Supplemental Indenture and signature pages for all purposes.

Section 5.  This Supplemental Indenture is an amendment supplemental to the Indenture and the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture will henceforth be read together.

Section 6. Except as expressly supplemented and amended by this Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof, and the Indenture (as supplemented and amended by this Supplemental Indenture) is in all respects hereby ratified and confirmed. This Supplemental Indenture and all its provisions shall be deemed a part of the Indenture in the manner and to the extent herein and therein provided.

Section 7. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall control.

This Supplemental Indenture is executed and accepted by the Trustee subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture with the same force and effect as if those terms and conditions were repeated at length herein and made applicable to the Trustee with respect hereto.

Section 9. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions

hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and no Holder of any series of Notes shall have any claim therefor against any party hereto.
