WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee have heretofore become parties to an Indenture, dated as of April 12, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified, the “Second Lien Indenture”), providing for the issuance of senior secured second priority notes in series;

 

WHEREAS, Section 1308 of the Second Lien Indenture provides that the Company is required to cause the Subsidiary Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Subsidiary Guarantor shall guarantee the Company’s Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations under the Notes pursuant to a Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Article XIII of the Second Lien Indenture;

 

WHEREAS, the Subsidiary Guarantor desires to enter into such supplemental indenture for good and valuable consideration, including substantial economic benefit in that the financial performance and condition of the Subsidiary Guarantor is dependent on the financial performance and condition of the Company, the obligations hereunder of which the Subsidiary Guarantor has guaranteed, and on the Subsidiary Guarantor’s access to working capital through the Company’s access to revolving credit borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 of the Second Lien Indenture, the parties hereto are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture to amend the Second Lien Indenture, without the consent of any Holder;

4.                                      Parties.  Nothing in this Supplemental Indenture is intended or shall be construed to give any Person, other than the Holders and the Trustee, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee or any provision contained herein or in Article XIII of the Second Lien Indenture.

 

5.                                      Governing Law.  THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

6.                                      Ratification of Second Lien Indenture; Supplemental Indentures Part of Second Lien Indenture.
