 W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of October 24, 2006, providing for the issuance of an unlimited aggregate
principal amount of 9 1/2% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances 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 Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture (the
“Guarantee”); 
 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 parties 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 as follows: 
 (a) Along with all
Guarantors named in the Indenture, to jointly and severally unconditionally 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 Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (i) the
principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, 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 Issuer 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 
  

 1 








 or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors and each Guaranteeing Subsidiary
shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 (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 Issuer, 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 Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever. 
 (d) This Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, the Indenture and
this Supplemental Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture. 
 (e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors (including each Guaranteeing Subsidiary), or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to
either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (f) No Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall 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 each of the Guaranteeing
Subsidiaries, 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 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 each Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this Guarantee. 
 (h) Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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 this Guarantee. 
 (i) Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture,
after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made
by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this new Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of each Guaranteeing
Subsidiary under this Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  

 2 








 (j) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation or reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant
part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or
reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes and Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not
been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned. 
 (k) In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 (l) This Guarantee shall be a general unsecured senior obligation of each Guaranteeing Subsidiary, ranking pari passu with any other future Senior Indebtedness of each Guaranteeing Subsidiary, if any. 
 (m) Each payment to be made by a Guaranteeing Subsidiary in respect of this Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim,
reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 (3) Execution and Delivery. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Guarantee
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. 
 (4)
Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(c) of the
Indenture, no Guaranteeing Subsidiary may consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Issuer or such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of
all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless: 
 (i)
(A) such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guaranteeing Subsidiary) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or
other disposition will have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as the case may be, or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of
Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Guaranteeing Subsidiary or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Person”); 
 (B) the Successor Person, if other than such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guaranteeing
Subsidiary under the Indenture and such Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (C) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists; and 
  

 3 








 (D) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with the Indenture; or 
 (ii) the transaction is made in compliance with Sections 4.10(a)(1) and (2) of the Indenture; 
 (b)
Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture, the Successor Person will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture and such Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s Guarantee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Guaranteeing Subsidiary may (x) consolidate or merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Guarantor or the Issuer or (y) merge with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of
reincorporating such Guaranteeing Subsidiary in a State of the United States as long as the amount of the Indebtedness, Preferred Stock and Disqualified Stock is not increased thereby. 
 (5) Releases. 
 The Guarantee of any
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, the Issuer or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s
Guarantee, upon: 
 (1) (A) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Guaranteeing
Subsidiary (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or all or substantially all the assets of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary which sale, exchange or transfer is made in
compliance with Sections 4.10(a)(1) and (2) of the Indenture; 
 (B) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary of the Senior Credit Facilities (including by reason of the termination of the Senior Credit Facilities) or the guarantee which resulted in the creation of the Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of
payment under such guarantee; 
 (C) the proper designation of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

 (D) the Issuer exercising its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 of the
Indenture or the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and 
 (2) such Guaranteeing Subsidiary delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied
with. 
 (6) No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary
shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors (including such Guaranteeing Subsidiary) under the Notes, any 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 by accepting Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
