WHEREAS the Company has issued and outstanding $100 million of
Securities;
WHEREAS the Company desires and has requested the Trustee to join
with the Company in the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental
Indenture for the purpose of amending the Indenture in order to cure an
ambiguity, omission, defect and inconsistency requiring the execution and
delivery of a supplemental indenture by the Company or a Guarantor that is

merged with or into it in order to become a party to, and bound by, the
Indenture;
WHEREAS Section 9.1 of the Indenture provides that a supplemental
indenture may be entered into by the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee to change certain provisions of the Indenture or modify certain
rights of the Holders of Securities without notice to or the consent of any
Holder so long as such change does not, in the opinion of the Trustee,
adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect,
including to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;
WHEREAS, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the modification of the
terms of the Indenture pursuant to this First Supplemental Indenture do not
adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect
has been delivered to the Trustee; and

Company and the Guarantors are authorized to execute and deliver this
Supplemental Indenture;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good

used in the Indenture; and (ii) the words "herein," "hereof" and "hereby" and
other words of similar import used in this First Supplemental Indenture refer to
