1. Guarantee. The Additional Senior Note Guarantors hereby jointly and severally with all other Senior Note Guarantors unconditionally guarantee the Issuers’ obligations under the Senior Notes and the Senior Notes Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article X of the Senior Notes Indenture and agree to be bound as a Senior Note Guarantor by all the other applicable provisions of the Senior Notes Indenture.

2. Ratification of Senior Notes Indenture; Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture Part of Senior Notes Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Senior Notes Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.

3. Governing Law. THIS SENIOR NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

4. Trustee Makes No Representations. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture.

5. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

or indirect parent corporation or (ii) director, officer, employee or manager of an Additional Senior Note Guarantor, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Senior Notes, this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture, the Senior Notes Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation; provided, however, the foregoing shall not in any manner affect the liability of an Additional Senior Note Guarantor with respect to its Senior Note Guarantee. Each holder of Senior Notes by accepting a Senior Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Senior Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

9. Indemnity. (a) The Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Note Guarantors executing this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture, subject to Section 10.08 of the Senior Notes Indenture, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and each Agent (which in each case, for purposes of this Section, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture or a Senior Note Guarantee provided herein against the Issuers, BP I or an Additional Senior Note Guarantor (including this Section) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, BP I, any Additional Senior Note Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Senior Notes or the removal or resignation of the Trustee or the applicable Agent. The Trustee or the applicable Agent shall notify the Issuers of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuers shall not relieve any of the Issuers, BP I or the Additional Senior Note Guarantors executing this Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuers’ expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Note Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party solely through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(b) To secure the payment obligations of the Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Note Guarantors in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Senior Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held to pay principal of and interest on the Senior Notes.
