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. Following the date hereof, all of the covenants set forth in Article IV of the Senior Notes Indenture shall be deemed to have been applicable to the Additional Senior Note Guarantor as of the Issue Date as if the Additional Senior Note Guarantor had been party thereto on such date, and any action or inaction taken by the Additional Senior Note Guarantor after the Issue Date and prior to the date hereof prohibited by the Senior Notes Indenture, shall be deemed a Default by the Additional Senior Note Guarantor under the Senior Notes Indenture as of the date hereof.

No (i) director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator or holder of any Equity Interests in BP I, BP II or any Issuer or any direct or indirect parent corporation or (ii) director, officer, employee or manager of the Senior Note Guarantor, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Senior Notes, this Ninth Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. 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 the guarantee of the obligations under the Senior Notes and the Senior Notes Indenture by the Additional Senior Note Guarantor. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
