W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(i) of the Senior Notes Indenture, the Trustee, BP I and the Issuers are authorized (i) to amend the Senior Notes Indenture to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency and (ii) to execute and deliver this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture;
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior 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, each Issuer and BP I covenant and agree as follows:
1. Amendment to the Senior Notes Indenture. The Senior Notes Indenture is hereby amended by adding the words “(so long as the same is in effect)” after the words “2007 Intercreditor Agreement” in the definition of “Local Facility” in Section 1.01.
2. Ratification of Senior Notes Indenture; Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture Part of Senior Notes Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Senior Notes Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Senior Notes Indenture for all purposes, and every holder of a Senior Note heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.
3. Governing Law. THIS SENIOR NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
4. Trustee, Makes No Representation. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture.
5. Indemnity. (a) The Issuers and BP I, subject to Section 10.08 of the Senior 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 entry into this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture against the Issuers or BP I (including this Section) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, BP I, any Holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Senior 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 or BP I executing this Senior 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 and BP I, 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 and BP I in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Senior 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 Notes.
6. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
7. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction thereof.
8. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Senior 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 Notes Supplemental Indenture.
9. No Recourse Against Others. No 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 will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or Senior Note Guarantors under the Senior Notes, this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Senior Notes by accepting a Senior Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
10. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements of the Issuers and BP I in this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture and the Senior Notes shall bind their respective successors and assigns. All agreements of the Trustee in this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns.
11. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture or the Senior 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 Notes Supplemental Indenture or the Senior Notes.
