--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Covenants of the Company. The Company agrees as follows:

(a) Supplemental Indenture. On the Effectiveness Date (as defined below), the
Company shall execute and deliver the Supplemental Indenture to the Trustee and
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute the
Supplemental Indenture.

(b) Consent Fee. Within five (5) business days of the Effectiveness Date, the
Company shall pay, in cash, to all Holders of the Notes an amount equal to $1.25
per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Fee”) held by such Holder on
February 12, 2007 (the “Record Date”). No accrued interest will be paid on the
Fee.

(c) Form 8-K. The Company shall execute and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form 8-K describing the transactions
contemplated hereby, including as exhibits a copy of this Agreement (excluding
all Annexes hereto) and the Supplemental Indenture, within one (1) business day
of the Effectiveness Date.

2. Covenants of the Bondholders. Each Bondholder, severally and not jointly,
agrees as follows:

(a) Consent of Subject Notes. Each Bondholder hereby (i) approves, ratifies,
confirms and consents to, in all respects, the Proposed Amendments and
(ii) directs the Trustee to execute and deliver the Supplemental Indenture. Such
Bondholder shall not withdraw or revoke (or cause to be withdrawn or revoked)
such approval, ratification, confirmation or consent or other approval in
connection with the Proposed Amendments unless and until such consent is revoked
in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents
and warrants to the Bondholders as of the date hereof as follows:

(a) Due Organization. The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.

(b) Due Authorization; Binding Agreement. The Company has full right, power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and (assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by the Bondholders) constitutes the valid
and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) No Conflicts. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Company, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

compliance with the terms hereof by the Company will conflict with, result in
any breach or violation of, or default (or an event which, with notice or lapse
of time, or both, would constitute a default) under the Company’s certificate of
incorporation, bylaws or other governing instruments, any material contractual
obligation to which the Company is a party or any provision of any law, order,
rule or regulation applicable to the Company, except for any such conflicts,
violations, defaults or other occurrences that would not have a material adverse
effect on the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or prevent,
delay or impede the performance by the Company of its obligations under this
Agreement. No filing (other than a Form 8-K) with, and no permit, authorization,
consent or approval of, any United States court or governmental agency or body
or any other entity is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by the
Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby, except where the failure to make such filing or to obtain such permit,
authorization, consent or approval would not prevent, delay or impede the
performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Litigation. There is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other
proceeding pending against the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened against the Company or any other person or entity that restricts in
any material respect or prohibits (or, if successful, would restrict or
prohibit) the exercise by any party or beneficiary of its rights under this
Agreement or the performance by any party of its obligations under this
Agreement.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Bondholders. Each Bondholder hereby,
severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as of the date
hereof as follows:

(a) Due Organization. If other than a natural person, such Bondholder is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite corporate, partnership or
other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by, and perform its respective obligations under, this
Agreement.

(b) Due Authorization; Binding Agreement. Such Bondholder has full right, power
and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered by such Bondholder and (assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by the Company) constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of such Bondholder enforceable against such Bondholder in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) No Conflicts. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such
Bondholder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
compliance with the terms hereof by such Bondholder will conflict with, result
in

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any breach or violation of, or default (or an event which, with notice or lapse
of time, or both, would constitute a default) under such Bondholder’s
certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other governing instruments, any
material contractual obligation to which such Bondholder is a party or any
provision of any law, order, rule or regulation applicable to such Bondholder,
except for any such conflicts, violations, defaults or other occurrences that
would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or
otherwise) of such Bondholder or prevent, delay or impede the performance by
such Bondholder of its obligations under this Agreement. No trust of which such
Bondholder is a trustee requires the consent of any beneficiary to the execution
and delivery of this Agreement or to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby. No filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or
approval of, any United States court or governmental agency or body or any other
entity is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by such Bondholder and
the consummation by such Bondholder of the transactions contemplated hereby,
except where the failure to make such filing or to obtain such permit,
authorization, consent or approval would not prevent, delay or impede the
performance by such Bondholder of its obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Ownership of the Subject Notes. On the Record Date, such Bondholder was and
on the date hereof, the Bondholder is, the beneficial owner of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes set forth opposite its name on Annex A hereto (held
through the DTC Participant listed on such Annex A). Such Bondholder does not
own, beneficially or of record, any Notes of the Company or securities
convertible or exchangeable for Notes of the Company other than as set forth on
Annex A hereto. Such Bondholder has the sole right and power to vote and dispose
of the Subject Notes, and none of such Subject Notes is subject to any voting
trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting
or transfer of any of the Subject Notes, except for this Agreement.

(e) Litigation. There is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other
proceeding pending against such Bondholder or, to the knowledge of such
Bondholder, threatened against such Bondholder or any other person or entity
that restricts in any material respect or prohibits (or, if successful, would
restrict or prohibit) the exercise by any party or beneficiary of its rights
under this Agreement or the performance by any party of its obligations under
this Agreement.

(f) Information. Such Bondholder (i) has been advised by professional, legal and
tax advisors of its choosing and has reviewed, or has had the opportunity to
review, with the assistance of such advisors, sufficient information (including
all documents filed or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by
the Company) in order to determine whether or not to grant its approval,
ratification, confirmation and consent to the Proposed Amendments and (ii) has
had sufficient access to the Company necessary for such Bondholder to make such
determination. Such Bondholder acknowledges that the financial statements of the
Company are subject to the Restatement, and has granted its approval,
ratification, confirmation and consent to the Proposed Amendments with full
knowledge of the pending Restatement.

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g) Tax Matters. Such Bondholder acknowledges that the change in yield on the
Notes resulting from the payment of the Fee may result in a deemed exchange for
U.S. federal income tax purposes of Notes for new Notes, although the Company
does not believe that this will be the case. Although not free from doubt, if
the change in yield does result in such a deemed exchange, the Company intends
to treat the deemed exchange of the Notes for new Notes as a tax-free
recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the deemed exchange
qualifies as a tax-free recapitalization and if the Fee is treated as separate
consideration, a Bondholder will generally not recognize any gain or loss on the
deemed exchange and a Bondholder’s tax basis and holding period in the new Notes
will equal such Bondholder’s adjusted tax basis and holding period in the Notes
immediately prior to the adoption of the Proposed Amendments. Such Bondholder
further acknowledges that regardless of whether any deemed exchange qualifies as
a tax-free recapitalization, depending on the issue price assigned to the new
Notes, a deemed exchange could result in the creation of original issue discount
with respect to the new Notes that, subject to certain offsets, would be
includable in the income of a Bondholder subject to U.S. federal income tax on a
net income basis over the remaining term of the new Notes in advance of the
receipt of cash attributable to such income. Bondholders should consult their
own tax advisors regarding the foregoing matters in light of their particular
circumstances.

5. Revocation of Consents. The consent granted pursuant to Section 2 hereof
shall become null and void and have no further effect if the Supplemental
Indenture is not executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee on the
Effectiveness Date. Nothing in this Section 5 shall relieve any party of
liability for breach of this Agreement.

6. General Provisions.

(a) Effectiveness of this Agreement. The obligations of the Company pursuant to
Section 1 hereof shall become effective on the date (the “Effectiveness Date”)
the Company receives (i) the consent to the Proposed Amendments of the holders
of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Notes and (ii) the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 8 7/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) to amendments to the indenture
pursuant to which the 2011 Notes were issued substantially similar to the
Proposed Amendments, and, in each case, on such date the holders of the Notes
and the 2011 Notes shall no longer have the right to revoke such consent except
in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

(b) Amendments, etc. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any of the
Bondholders or the Company from any provision of this Agreement, shall be
effective unless it shall be in writing and signed and delivered by all the
Bondholders party hereto and the Company, and then it shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

(c) Disclosure. Each Bondholder hereby consents to public disclosure, including
in a press release and a Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC, of the identity

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of such Bondholder, the aggregate principal amount of Notes that will be bound
by this Agreement and the nature of its commitments, arrangements and
understandings pursuant to this Agreement. Each Bondholder agrees that it shall
not make any public announcement or public disclosure regarding this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated herein (except to the extent required by
applicable law or legal process) without the prior written consent of the
Company.

(d) Confidentiality. The Company shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, keep
the principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by each Bondholder party hereto
strictly confidential; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate principal
amount of Notes beneficially owned by the Bondholders party hereto may be
disclosed and (ii) the principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by any
Bondholder may only be disclosed (A) with the written consent of such
Bondholder; (B) to affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents of the
Company, including legal counsel, the Trustee and other persons reasonably
required in order to enter into the Supplemental Indenture, (C) to the extent
required by law, including securities laws, or by subpoena or similar legal
process, provided, if appropriate, that the non-disclosing parties have been
given an opportunity to defend, limit or protect such disclosure, (D) in
connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or (E) to the extent such terms (x) become
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6(d) or
(y) become available to the disclosing party on a non-confidential basis from a
source other than the non-disclosing parties.

(e) Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, telecopied (with

unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid
or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or
affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of
this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) Specific Performance; Enforcement. Each of the parties hereto recognizes and
acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in
this Agreement will cause the other party to sustain damages for which it would
not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore, each of the
parties hereto agrees that in the event of any such breach the aggrieved party
shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and
agreements and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other
remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. The parties agree that
they shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this
Agreement in the courts of the State of New York and any Federal court, sitting

they are entitled at law or in equity. In addition, each of the parties hereto
(i) consents to submit such party to the personal jurisdiction of any Federal
court located in the State of New York or any New York state court in the event
any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby, (ii) agrees that such party will not attempt to deny or defeat such
personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court,
(iii) agrees that such party will not bring any action relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than a
Federal court sitting in the state of New York or a New York state court and
(iv) waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any claim or proceeding
related to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

(j) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all
of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and
delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not
sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile
signatures of the parties hereto.
