the Notes without the consent of any Holder, among other things, to cure any

inconsistency; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is
authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and

1. Agreement to Guarantee. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as
follows:
(a) Along with all Subsidiary Guarantors named in the Indenture, to
jointly and severally Guarantee 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 and interest 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
and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, 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
(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any
Notes or any of such other obligations, that 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 Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and
severally obligated to pay the same immediately.
(b) The 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 which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.
(c) The following is hereby waived: 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.
(d) This Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the
Indenture.
(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to
return to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, or any Custodian,
Trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to
either the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid by
either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to
the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force
and effect.
(f) 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.
(g) As between the Subsidiary 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 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Subsidiary
Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed
hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of
such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become
due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this
Subsidiary Guarantee.
(h) The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution
from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of
such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the
Guarantee.
(i) Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to any
maximum amount and any other contingent and fixed liabilities that are
relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance
laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to
receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Subsidiary Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture shall result in
the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
2. Execution and Delivery. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the
Subsidiary Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.
3. Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms.
(a) Neither Guaranteeing Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge with or
into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving
Person) another corporation, Person or entity whether or not
affiliated with such Subsidiary Guarantor unless:
(i) subject to Section 10.05 of the Indenture, the Person formed by
or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a
Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes all
the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to a
supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes,
-3-
the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms set
forth herein or therein; and
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default
or Event of Default exists.
(b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon
the assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental
indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in
form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary 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 the Subsidiary
Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it
had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. Such successor
corporation thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the
Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantees so issued
shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the
Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter
issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of
such Subsidiary 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 (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the
Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or
merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Company or another
Subsidiary Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the
property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor.
4. Releases.
(a) In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of
any Subsidiary Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or
otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all to the capital stock
of any Subsidiary Guarantor, then such Subsidiary Guarantor (in the
event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation
or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Subsidiary
Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of
a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of such Subsidiary Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that the Net
Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including without
limitation Section 4. 10 of the Indenture. Upon delivery by the
Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by
the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture,
including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the
Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order
-4-
to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.
(b) Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of
principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations
of any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article
10 of the Indenture.
5. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future partner,
director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of any
Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations
of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Subsidiary
Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based
on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.
The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal
securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is
against public policy.
6. Definitions. The definition of the term "Subsidiary" in Section 1.01
of the Indenture shall read as follows:
"Subsidiary" means, with respect to any Person, (i) any corporation,
association or other business entity of which more than 50% of the
shares of Capital Stock is at the time owned or controlled, directly
or indirectly, by such Person or one or more of the other Subsidiaries
of that Person (or a combination thereof) and (ii) any partnership (a)
the sole general partner or the managing general partner of which is
such Person, a Subsidiary of such Person or a general partner of such
Person or Subsidiary or (b) the only general partners of which are
such Person, one or more Subsidiaries of such Person (other than an
Unrestricted Subsidiary) or a general partner of such Person or
Subsidiary (or any combination thereof); provided, however, that in no
case shall Holdings be deemed a Subsidiary of the Company.
7. New York Law to Govern. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
8. Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this
Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them
together represent the same agreement.
9. Effect of Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience
only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
-5-
10. The Trustee. The Trustee shall not 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 Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Company.
