All things necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in accordance with its terms, have been done.
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
To comply with the provisions of the Original Indenture and in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
