WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally
guarantee all of the Company's Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on
the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Subsidiary 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, the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby
agrees as follows:
2
a. Along with all 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 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
2

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 Guarantors, or any
Custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other similar official
acting in relation to either the Company or the 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 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 Guarantors for the purpose of this
Subsidiary Guarantee.
h. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution
from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of
such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under
the Guarantee.
i. The obligations hereunder shall be subject to the
subordination provisions of the Indenture.

3. 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.
4. Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain
Terms.
a. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not consolidate with or
merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the
surviving Person) another corporation, Person or entity
whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless:
i. subject to Section 11.05 of the Indenture, the
Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor
or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the
obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a
supplemental indenture in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the
Notes, 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
Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and
be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if
it had been named herein as a 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
4
5
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 Guarantor with or
into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any
sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or
another Guarantor.
5. Releases.
a. In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the
assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or
otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all to the
capital stock of any Guarantor, then such 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 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 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 to evidence the
release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee.
5
6
b. Any 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 Guarantor under the Indenture as provided
in Article 11 of the Indenture or the Supplemental
Indenture.
6. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the
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 SEC that such a waiver is against
public policy.
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.
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 Subsidiary and the
Company.
