Upon the execution of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture is thereby modified in accordance therewith, and this First Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes.

Section 2.5    GOVERNING LAW.    THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
Section 2.6    Counterparts.    The parties may sign any number of copies of this First Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.  The exchange of copies of this First Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original First Supplemental Indenture for all purposes.  Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) transmission shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purpose.

This First Supplemental Indenture shall become effective and binding on the Company, the Trustee and every Holder of the Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Indenture, upon the execution and delivery by the parties to this First Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that the Amendments shall become operative with respect to the Notes only upon the consummation and settlement of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, including the condition that the Merger shall have been consummated.  The Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate promptly after the Amendments have become operative, stating that the Amendments have become operative.

Section 2.11    Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee.      In entering into this First Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee, whether or not elsewhere herein so provided. The Trustee, for itself and its successor or successors, accepts the terms of the Indenture as amended by this First Supplemental Indenture, and agrees to perform the same, but only upon the terms and provisions defining and limiting the liabilities and responsibilities of the Trustee, which terms and provisions shall in like manner define and limit its liabilities and responsibilities in the performance of the trust created by the Indenture. The Trustee makes no representations as to and shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity, adequacy or sufficiency of this First Supplemental Indenture.
