W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, each of Kindred Escrow Corp. II, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (merged with and into the Company), and the Trustee is party to the indenture dated as of December 18, 2014 (as amended and/or supplemented, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of an unlimited aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the New Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the New Subsidiary Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, each of the Trustee and the Company 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 parties mutually covenant and agree for the benefit of each other and 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 Subsidiary Guarantees.  The New Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

(a) Along with all Subsidiary Guarantors named in the Indenture, subject to Article 10 of the Indenture, to jointly and severally unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder, that:

(i) the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms thereof; and

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.  Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the New Subsidiary Guarantor and the other Subsidiary Guarantors named in the Indenture shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.  This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

(c) The following is hereby waived:  diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.

 

 

(d) The Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, and the New Subsidiary Guarantor accepts all obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture.

(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors (including the New Subsidiary Guarantor), or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, the Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(f) The New Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.

(g) As between the New Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the New Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee.

(h) If the New Subsidiary Guarantor makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee, the New Subsidiary Guarantor will be entitled upon payment in full of all Obligations under the Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor (including the other New Subsidiary Guarantor) in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

(i) Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, the obligations of the New Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the New Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, result in the obligations of the New Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

(j) The Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes and Subsidiary Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

(k) In case any provision of the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(l) Each payment to be made by the New Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

(3) Execution and Delivery.  The New Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of the Subsidiary Guarantee on the Notes.
