referred to below (the "TRUSTEE"), and each of the following wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company (which are referred to herein jointly as the

W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Issuers have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee
an indenture, dated as of May 18, 2004 (as supplemented by the First
Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of February 1, 2005, the Second
Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of March 30, 2005, and the Third
Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of October 26, 2005, the "INDENTURE"),
providing for the issuance of 10% Senior Notes due 2012 (the "NOTES");
WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances each of
the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture pursuant to which each Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall
unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers' 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 Supplemental Indenture.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the
Guaranteeing Subsidiaries 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. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to
provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Note Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited
to Article 10 thereof.
4. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director,
manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, stockholder or agent of any
Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations
of the Issuers or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Note
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 SEC that such a waiver is against
public policy.
5. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL
GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 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.
6. 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.
7. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only
and shall not affect the construction hereof.
8. 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 Issuers.
