WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of November 27, 2012 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 6.0% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall agree to guarantee the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Indenture, the parties hereto are authorized to execute and deliver this Second 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 hereto and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
