WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the Trustee, the Original Collateral Agent, the Additional Collateral Agent, BP I and the Issuers are entitled to execute and deliver this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture;
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor covenants and agrees for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Senior Secured Notes as follows:
1. Guarantee.

2. Ratification of Senior Secured Notes Indenture; Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture Part of Senior Secured Notes Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Senior Secured Notes Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.

3. Governing Law. THIS SENIOR SECURED NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
4. Trustee, Original Collateral Agent and Additional Collateral Agent Make No Representations. The Trustee, Original Collateral Agent and Additional Collateral Agent make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture.
5. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
6. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not effect the construction thereof.
7. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Issuers, BP I, BP II, RGHL or any of their Subsidiaries. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture.
8. No Recourse Against Others. No (i) director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator or holder of any Equity Interests in BP I, BP II or any Issuer or any direct or indirect parent corporation or (ii) director, officer, employee or manager of the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Senior Secured Notes, this Supplemental Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation; provided, however, the foregoing shall not in any manner affect the liability of the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor with respect to its Senior Secured Note Guarantee. Each holder of Senior Secured Notes by accepting a Senior Secured Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Senior Secured Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
9. Indemnity. (a) The Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor executing this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture, subject to Section 10.08 of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and each Agent (which in each case, for purposes of this Section, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture or a Senior Secured Note Guarantee provided herein against the Issuers, BP I or the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor (including this Section) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether (i) asserted by the Issuers, BP I, the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person or (ii) with respect to any action taken by the Trustee under the 2007 Intercreditor Agreement, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Senior Secured Notes or the removal or resignation of the Trustee or the applicable Agent. The Trustee or the applicable Agent shall notify the Issuers of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuers shall not relieve any of the Issuers, BP I or the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor executing this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuers’ expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party solely through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
(b) To secure the payment obligations of the Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Senior Secured Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held to pay principal of and interest on the Senior Secured Notes.
10. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements of the Issuers and the Additional Senior Secured Note Guarantor in this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture and the Senior Secured Notes shall bind their respective successors and assigns. All agreements of the Trustee in this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns.
11. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture or the Senior Secured 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 Senior Secured Notes Supplemental Indenture or the Senior Secured Notes.
