The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereby” and other words of similar import used in this Second Supplemental Indenture refer to this Second Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Section hereof.
2.    Assumption.  The Company hereby agrees, as of (and subject to the occurrence of) the Merger Date, to assume, to be bound by, to perform and to be liable, as a primary obligor and not as a guarantor or surety, with respect to, any and all of the Escrow Issuer’s payment obligations under the Indenture and the Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and the Notes and all other obligations and agreements of the Escrow Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes and to become the “Company” under and as defined in the Indenture and the Notes.

5.    Ratification of Indenture; Second Supplemental Indenture Part of Indenture.

6.    Governing Law.  This Second Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
7.    Trustee Makes No Representation.  The Trustee accepts the amendments of the Indenture effected by this Second Supplemental Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, including the terms and provisions defining and limiting the liabilities and responsibilities of the Trustee.

2






facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. This Second Supplemental Indenture shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws now or hereinafter in effect affecting creditors’ rights or remedies generally and to general principles of equity (including standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness), whether considered in a proceeding at law or at equity) only when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) any electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including relevant provisions of the NYUCC (collectively, “Signature Law”); (ii) an original manual signature; or (iii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature.

Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof.  For avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the NYUCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings. The Trustee shall not have any duty to confirm that the person sending any notice by electronic transmission (including by e-mail) is, in fact, a person authorized to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may in any instance and in its sole discretion require that an original document bearing a manual signature be delivered to the Trustee in lieu of, or in addition to, any such electronic Notice.
