(e)            Section 4.04 (“Limitation on Restricted Payments”) of the Original Indenture is hereby amended by adding paragraphs (e) and (f) as follows:

“(e)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not make a Restricted Payment constituting the dividend, distribution, sale, transfer or contribution of IRUs, whether directly or through a dividend or distribution of the Equity Interests of an entity or entities that is or are the owner(s) of such IRUs.

6.            No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member, manager or partner of either Issuer, any Subsidiary or any direct or indirect parent of either Issuer, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of either Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Note Guarantees. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Supplemental Indenture by facsimile, email or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Supplemental Indenture.

8.            Effect of Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

9.            The Trustee and the Collateral Agent. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Issuers.
