WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances a Subsequent Guarantor may execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsequent Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Issuer, the Subsequent Guarantors and the Trustee are authorized to execute and deliver this First Supplemental Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Subsequent Guarantor and the Trustee mutually 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. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. Each Subsequent Guarantor hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 11 thereof.

(a) Each Subsequent Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

(b) If an Officer or duly authorized signatory pursuant to a board resolution or power of attorney whose signature is on this First Supplemental Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee or Authenticating Agent procures the authentication of the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

(c) Upon execution of this First Supplemental Indenture, the delivery of any Note by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this First Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the Subsequent Guarantor.

3. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of any Subsequent Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Subsequent Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantee or this First Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
