Miscellaneous

SECTION 2.01. Defined Terms. For all purposes of this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise defined or unless the context otherwise requires, terms used in capitalized form in this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture and defined in the Indenture have the meanings specified in the Indenture.

SECTION 2.02. Indenture. Except as amended hereby, the Indenture and the Notes are in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms shall remain in full force and effect. This Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall be bound hereby and all terms and conditions of both shall be read together as though they constitute a single instrument, except that in the case of conflict the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall control.

SECTION 2.03. Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture and the Notes.

SECTION 2.04. The Trustee. The Trustee is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in certain transactions with the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, within the meaning of the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict or resign upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

In case an Event of Default occurs and is not cured, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in similar circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power under the Indenture, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

The Thirty-Third Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture; and it shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the recitals and statements contained herein or in the Notes, all of which are made solely by the Company and the Guarantors.

SECTION 2.05. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or a Subsidiary. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture.

SECTION 2.06. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting the Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

SECTION 2.07. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements of the Company in this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors and assigns. All agreements of the Trustee in this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns.

SECTION 2.08. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

SECTION 2.09. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture or the Notes.

SECTION 2.10. Effectiveness. The provisions of this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture shall be effective only upon execution and delivery of this instrument by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the provisions of this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture shall become operative only upon the closing, including completion and settlement, of the Consent Solicitation and the related Exchange Offer (as defined in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement), with the result that the amendments to the Indenture effected by this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be revoked retroactive to the date hereof if such Consent Solicitation and related Exchange Offer is terminated or withdrawn prior to completion or settlement. The Company shall notify the Trustee promptly after the occurrence of such closing or promptly after the Company shall determine that such closing will not occur.

SECTION 2.11. Endorsement and Change of Form of Notes. Any Notes authenticated and delivered after the close of business on the date that this Thirty-Third Supplemental Indenture becomes operative in substitution for Notes then outstanding and all Notes presented or delivered to the Trustee on and after that date for such purpose shall be stamped, imprinted or otherwise legended by the Company, with a notation as follows:
