Supplemental Indenture (the "THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE") dated as of December

collectively referred to herein as the "INDENTURE");
WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture and a note guarantee pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company's obligations under the Notes
and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "NOTE
GUARANTEE"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is
authorized to execute and deliver this Fourth Supplemental Indenture.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the
equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
2. Agreement to Guarantee.
(a) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary, along with all other Guarantors, jointly
and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder of a
Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its
successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the
Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder,
that:
(i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on
the overdue principal of, premium, if any,
and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes, if lawful (subject in
all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other
obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder
will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof; and the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on
the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages,
if any, on the Notes, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace
period provided herein)
(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of
any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in
full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or
renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing
payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed
for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to
pay the same immediately. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that this is a
guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees that, to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law, its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
(c) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary, subject to Section 6.06 of the Indenture,
hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a
court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to
require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands
whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except
by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the
Indenture.
(d) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that if any Holder or the Trustee
is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors,
or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in
relation to any of the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them
to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(e) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby.
(f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on
the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the
maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in
Article Six of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the
event
2
of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article Six of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this
Note Guarantee.
(g) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have the right to seek contribution
from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not
impair the rights of Holders under the Note Guarantee.
(h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary confirms, pursuant to Section 10.02 of the
Indenture, that it is the intention of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary that its
Note Guarantee not constitute (i) a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for
purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent
applicable to its Note Guarantee or (ii) an unlawful distribution under any
applicable state law prohibiting shareholder distributions by an insolvent
subsidiary to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee, and, to effectuate
the foregoing intention, agrees hereby irrevocably that the obligations of such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after
giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guaranteeing
Subsidiary that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any
collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on
behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Guarantor under Article Ten of the Indenture, result in the obligations of such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance or such an unlawful shareholder distribution.
3. Execution and Delivery. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that
the Note Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
4. Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.
(a) A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not
such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company
or another Guarantor, unless:
(i) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no
Default or Event of Default exists; and
(ii) either:
(A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale
or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) is a
corporation or limited liability company organized or existing
under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the
District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that
Guarantor under the Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the
Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental
indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or
(B) such sale or other disposition or consolidation or
merger complies with Section 4.10 of the Indenture.
3
(b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon
the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and
delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note
Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of
the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by a Guarantor,
such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for a Guarantor with
the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor
Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be
endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not
have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note
Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit
under the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees
had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
(c) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Indenture, and
notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 4(a) above, nothing contained in
the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger
of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent
any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.
5. Release.
(a) Any Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under
its Note Guarantee, (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all
of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or
after giving effect to such transaction) an Affiliate of the Company, if the
sale of all such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with Section 4.10 of
the Indenture; (ii) if the Company properly designates that Guarantor as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary under the Indenture or (iii) solely in the case of a
Note Guarantee created pursuant to the second sentence of Section 4.18(a) of the
Indenture, upon the release or discharge of the Guarantee which resulted in the
creation of such Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.18(b) of the Indenture,
except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee.
Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that one of the foregoing requirements has been
satisfied and the conditions to the release of a Guarantor under this Section 5
have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required
in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under
its Note Guarantee.
(b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note
Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest
and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of
any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article Ten of the Indenture.
6. No Recourse Against Others. Pursuant to Section 12.07 of the
Indenture, no director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have any liability for any obligations of such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or
for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation.
