Each reference to a “Grantor” and “U.S. Grantor” in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New U.S. Subsidiary. The Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New U.S. Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise permitted by the Collateral Agreement) be in writing and given as provided pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Collateral Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New U.S. Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.06 of the Collateral Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
