WHEREAS, the Company, certain Existing Guarantors and the Trustee are parties to an Indenture dated as of December 10, 2001 (the "Existing Indenture") pursuant to which the Company issued its 8³/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (hereinafter the "Notes"). All capitalized terms used in this First Supplemental Indenture and not otherwise defined shall be assigned the meaning ascribed to them in the Existing Indenture.

WHEREAS, the Existing Indenture provides that, without the consent of any Holders, the Company and the Existing Guarantors, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into indentures supplemental thereto or agreements or other instruments with respect to any Guarantee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, for the purpose of adding a Guarantor pursuant to the requirements of Section 1014 therein.

WHEREAS, each New Guarantor wishes to guarantee the Notes pursuant to Section 1014(b) of the Indenture.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Existing Indenture the Company, the Existing Guarantors, the New Guarantors and the Trustee have agreed to enter into this First Supplemental Indenture for the purposes stated herein; and

WHEREAS, all things necessary have been done to make this First Supplemental Indenture, when executed and delivered by the Company, the Existing Guarantors, and the New Guarantors, the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, the Existing Guarantors, and each New Guarantor, in accordance with its terms.

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

The parties hereto mutually covenant and agree as follows:

Section I

Section 1.01. Pursuant to Section 1014(b) of the Existing Indenture, as of the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, each New Guarantor shall be deemed to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and a Guarantor of the Notes and hereby executes and delivers this First Supplemental Indenture to evidence its guarantee of the Notes on the same terms as the guarantee (the "Senior Guarantee") of the indebtedness (the "Senior Indebtedness") associated with the Credit Agreement dated as of May 28, 1998, by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Agent for the Lenders which are parties thereto, as amended and restated by the Amendment and Restatement dated as of May 9, 2001, as further amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of October 30, 2001, and as amended and supplemented from time to time (the "Credit Agreement"), as hereinafter set forth and further provided that said guarantee of the Notes by each New Guarantor shall be subordinated to the Senior Guarantee to the same extent as the Notes are subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the Existing Indenture.

Section II

2.01. Guarantee. Each New Guarantor hereby agrees to guarantee the Existing Indenture and the Notes related thereto pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article Fourteen of the Existing Indenture, such Article Fourteen being incorporated by reference herein as if set forth at length herein.

Section 2.02. Rights of Contribution. For the purposes of this Section 2.02 Existing Guarantors and each New Guarantor shall be individually referred to as "Guarantor" and collectively, as "Guarantors." The Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Guarantor (an "Excess Funding Guarantor") shall pay Indenture Obligations in excess of the Excess Funding Guarantor's Pro Rata Share (as hereinafter defined) of such Indenture Obligations, the other Guarantors shall, on demand (but subject to the next sentence hereof), pay to the Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to their respective Pro Rata Share of such Excess Funding Guarantor's payment. The payment obligation of any Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 2.02 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section II and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations. For the purposes hereof, "Pro Rata Share" shall mean, for any Guarantor, a percentage equal to the percentage of such Guarantor's Net Assets as of the Valuation Date (as defined in the next sentence) of the aggregate Net Assets of all of the Guarantors as at such date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "Valuation Date" shall mean the date hereof; provided that, if the Trustee requests from time to time that the Guarantors ratify and confirm their respective obligations under this Section II, they shall promptly do so pursuant to an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Valuation Date shall mean the date of the latest such ratification and confirmation to occur at the request of the Trustee after the date hereof, and "Net Assets" shall mean with respect to any Guarantor as at any date, an amount equal to the excess of the fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date (without taking into account the rights of such Guarantor under Section 3.08 of the Credit Agreement), and excluding the value of the shares of the stock or other equity interest owned by such Guarantor and any other Guarantor party to this Indenture, on such date over the amount that would be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Guarantor determined as of such date (excluding the obligations of such Guarantor under Section 3 of the Credit Agreement) on all of its debts.

Section III

Section 3.01. This First Supplemental Indenture shall be construed as supplemental to the Existing Indenture and shall form a part thereof, and the Existing Indenture is hereby incorporated by reference herein and, as supplemented hereby and is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed.

Section 3.02. This First Supplemental Indenture may be signed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This First Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Section 3.03. This First Supplemental Indenture shall be effective and operative on the date and time hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this First Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the day and year above written.
