WHEREAS, Section 10.05 of the Indenture provides that under certain
circumstances the Company may cause, and Sections 4.17, 5.01 and 10.03 of the

Guarantee on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the New
