**ARTICLE II<br> MISCELLANEOUS**

Section 2.1 <u>Effect of First Supplemental Indenture on Indenture</u>. This First Supplemental Indenture is a supplement to the Indenture.

Section 2.3 <u>Separability</u>. In case any provision in this First Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be in any way affected or impaired thereby.

Section 2.4 <u>No Reliance</u>. Nothing in this First Supplemental Indenture, express or implied, shall give to any person, other than the parties hereto and their successors under the Indenture and the Holders of the Debt Securities as provided herein, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this First Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture.

Section 2.5 <u>Additional Acts</u>. The parties hereto will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts and things as may be reasonably required to carry out the intents and purpose of this First Supplemental Indenture.

Section 2.6 <u>Counterparts</u>.
