W I T N E S S E T H
          WHEREAS, the Escrow Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent executed and delivered the indenture dated as of December 9, 2009 (the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”);
          WHEREAS, the Sections 1027 and 1109 of the Indenture provide that the Escrow Issuer may execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Assuming Issuers shall unconditionally assume all the Escrow Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein;
          WHEREAS Sections 1027 and 1201 of the Indenture provide that under certain circumstances the Issuer is required to cause the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall unconditionally guarantee all the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to a Guarantee on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Indenture; and
          WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Escrow Issuer, the Assuming Issuers, the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent 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 ASSUME OBLIGATIONS. The Assuming Issuers hereby agree to unconditionally assume the Escrow Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Notes and to perform all of the obligations and agreements of the Issuer under the Indenture.
          3. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby agree as follows:
     (a) The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby become parties to the Indenture as Subsidiary Guarantors and as such will have all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations and agreements of Subsidiary Guarantors under the Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries agree to be bound by all of the provisions of the Indenture applicable to Subsidiary Guarantors and to perform all of the obligations and agreements of Subsidiary Guarantors under the Indenture.
     (b) The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries agree, on a joint and several basis, to fully, unconditionally and irrevocably Guarantee to each Holder of the Notes, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee the Obligations pursuant to Article Twelve of the Indenture on a senior basis.

 


 

          4. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Assuming Issuers or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Securities Exchange Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.
          5. RELEASE OF OBLIGATIONS OF THE ESCROW ISSUER. Upon execution of this Supplemental Indenture by the Assuming Issuers, the Escrow Issuer, the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, the Escrow Issuer is released and discharged from all obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.
          6. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
          7. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
          8. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
          9. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Issuer.
