to any modification, supplement or waiver of any of the provisions of any
documents or agreements evidencing or governing the Senior Secured Notes,
the Senior Subordinated Notes or the New Senior Subordinated Notes (or any
Refunding Indebtedness) without the prior consent of the Required Lenders,

Borrower may supplement the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture or the New
Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture in order to add or delete Subsidiaries

being understood and agreed that such

Commitments).

No. 2 may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same amendatory instrument and any of the parties
hereto may execute this Amendment No. 2 by signing any such counterpart. This
Amendment No. 2 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law
