WHEREAS, the Partnership has duly authorized and desires to cause to be issued pursuant to the Original Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture one series of Debt Securities designated the “6.125% Senior Notes due 2016” (the “Notes”), all of such Notes to be guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors as provided in Article XIV of the Original Indenture;
WHEREAS, the Partnership desires to cause the issuance of the Notes pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 of the Original Indenture, which sections permit the execution of supplemental indentures to establish the form and terms of Debt Securities of any series;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Original Indenture, the Partnership, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors have requested that the Trustee join in the execution of this First Supplemental Indenture to establish the form and terms of the Notes;
WHEREAS, all things necessary have been done to make the Notes, when executed by the Partnership and authenticated and delivered hereunder and under the Original Indenture and duly issued by the Partnership, and the Guarantees of the Parent Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, when the Notes are duly issued by the Partnership, the valid obligations of the Partnership, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, and to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Partnership, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors enforceable in accordance with its terms.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee hereby agree that the following provisions shall supplement the Original Indenture:
ARTICLE I.
THE NOTES
SECTION 1.1 Form.
The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this First Supplemental Indenture, which is hereby incorporated into this First Supplemental Indenture. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this First Supplemental Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Partnership, the Parent Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
The Notes shall be issued upon original issuance in whole in the form of one or more Global Securities (the “Book-Entry Notes”). Each Book-Entry Note shall represent such of the Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Book-Entry Note to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with written instructions or such other written form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary, from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in the Book-Entry Note.
The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Book-Entry Notes.
SECTION 1.2 Title, Amount and Payment of Principal and Interest.
The Notes shall be entitled the “6.125% Senior Notes due 2016.” The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) Notes for original issue on the date hereof (the “Original Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $175 million and (ii) additional Notes for original issue from time to time after the date hereof in such principal amounts as may be specified in the Company Order described in this sentence, provided that no such additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in each case upon a Company Order for the authentication and delivery thereof and satisfaction of the other provisions of Section 2.05 of the Indenture. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, and the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be outstanding at any time may not exceed $175 million plus such additional principal amounts as may be issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (except as provided in Section 2.09 of the Indenture). Any such additional Notes issued in this manner will be consolidated with, and will form a single series with, the Original Notes.
The principal amount of each Note shall be payable on May 15, 2016. Each Note shall bear interest from the date of original issuance, or the most recent date to which interest has been
2
paid, at the fixed rate of 6.125% per annum. The dates on which interest on the Notes shall be payable shall be May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2006 in the case of the Original Notes (the “Interest Payment Dates”). The regular record date for interest payable on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be May 1 or November 1 (the “Regular Record Date”), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes representing Book-Entry Notes on any Interest Payment Date or at maturity will be made available to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, unless such date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, in which case such payments will be made available to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next Business Day. As soon as possible thereafter, the Trustee will make such payments to the Depositary.
SECTION 1.3 Registrar and Paying Agent.

There is excluded from this restriction:
(1) Permitted Liens:
(2) any Lien upon any property or asset created at the time of the acquisition of that property or asset by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or within one year after that time to secure all or a portion of the purchase price for that property or asset or Debt incurred to finance the purchase price, whether that Debt was incurred prior to, at the time of or within one year after the date of the acquisition;
(3) any Lien upon any property or asset to secure all or part of the cost of construction, development, repair or improvements thereon or to secure Debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within one year after completion of the construction, development, repair or improvements or the commencement of full operations thereof, whichever is later, to provide funds for that purpose;

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Partnership (the “Debt Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Partnership, the Parent Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Holders of the Debt Securities. The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of a series designated as the 6.125% Senior Notes due 2016 of the Partnership, in initial aggregate principal amount of $175 million (the “Securities”).
1. Interest.
The Partnership promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of 6.125% per annum.
The Partnership will pay interest semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing November 15, 2006. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from May 8, 2006. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Partnership shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy laws) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) and on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the same rate per annum, in each case to the extent lawful.
2. Method of Payment.
The Partnership shall pay interest on the Securities (except Defaulted Interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) may be paid to the persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, or in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may then be listed if such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee, as more fully provided in the Indenture. The Partnership shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. Payments in respect of Securities in definitive form (including principal, premium, if any, and
A-4
interest) will be made at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained for such purpose within The City of New York, which initially will be Citibank, N.A., 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 Attention: Window, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders on the relevant record date at their addresses set forth in the Debt Security register of Holders or at the option of the Holder, payment of interest on Securities in definitive form will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to any account maintained in the United States, provided such Holder has requested such method of payment and provided timely wire transfer instructions to the paying agent. The Holder must surrender this Security to a paying agent to collect payment of principal.
3. Paying Agent and Registrar.
Initially, Citibank, N.A. will act as paying agent and Registrar. The Partnership may change any paying agent or Registrar at any time upon notice to the Trustee and the Holders. The Partnership may act as paying agent.
4. Indenture.
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the Partnership issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture.
Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Original Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA, as in effect on the date of the Original Indenture, and those terms stated in the First Supplemental Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Original Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Securities of this series are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited to an initial aggregate principal amount of $175 million; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of such series may be increased from time to time as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture.
5. Optional Redemption.
The Securities are redeemable, at the option of the Partnership, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Price”) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (at the rate in effect on the date of calculation of the redemption price) on the Securities (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.
The actual Make-Whole Price, calculated as provided above, shall be calculated and certified to the Trustee and the Partnership by the Independent Investment Banker. For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Price, the following definitions are applicable:
“Treasury Rate” means the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury
A-5
Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means with respect to any Redemption Date (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
“Independent Investment Banker” means either Barclays Capital Inc. or Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as specified by the Partnership, and any successor firm or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Partnership.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and three other primary U.S. government securities dealers (each a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), as specified by the Partnership; provided, that (1) if any of Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or any Primary Treasury Dealer as specified by the Partnership shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Partnership will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) if the Partnership fails to select a substitute within a reasonable period of time, then the substitute will be a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Independent Investment Banker.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed, in each case, as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.
Except as set forth above, the Securities will not be redeemable prior to their Stated Maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
Securities called for optional redemption become due on the Redemption Date. Notices of optional redemption will be mailed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of optional redemption for the Securities will state, among other things, the amount of Securities to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the method of calculating such redemption price and the place(s) that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of Securities to be redeemed. Unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the redemption price, interest will
A-6
cease to accrue on the Redemption Date with respect to any Securities that have been called for optional redemption. If less than all the Securities are redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided, however, that if at the time of redemption such Securities are represented by a Global Security, the Depositary shall determine, in accordance with its procedures, the principal amount of such Securities held by each beneficial owner to be redeemed.
The Securities may be redeemed in part in multiplies of $1,000 only. Any such redemption will also comply with Article III of the Indenture.
6. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.
The Securities are to be issued in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer of, or exchange, Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
7. Person Deemed Owners.
The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
8. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented, and any existing Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected. Without consent of any Holder of a Security, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture to, among other things, cure any ambiguity or omission, to correct any defect or inconsistency, or to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities.
9. Defaults and Remedies.
Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default that will result in the principal amount of the Securities, together with premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, becoming due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. If any other Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding may declare the principal amount of all the Securities, together with premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, if at any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been
A-7
made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Trustee, may rescind such declaration and annul its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court already rendered and if all Events of Default with respect to the Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest which has become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or shall have been waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity or security satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
10. Trustee Dealings with Partnership.
The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Partnership or its Affiliates or any subsidiary of the Partnership’s Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.
11. Authentication.
This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.
12. Abbreviations and Defined Terms.
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Security or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (tenant in common), TEN ENT (tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (Custodian), and U/G/M/A (Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
13. CUSIP Numbers.
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Note Identification Procedures, the Partnership has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such number as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.
14. Absolute Obligation.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Partnership, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
A-8
15. No Recourse.

Each Holder by accepting the Securities waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.
16. Governing Law.
This Security shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.
17. Guarantee.
The Securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis by the Parent Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors as set forth in Article XIV of the Indenture, as noted in the Notation of Guarantee to this Security, and under certain circumstances set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture one or more Subsidiaries of the Partnership may be required to join in such guarantee.
