Guarantors” on the signature page hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, successor in interest to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (the
“Trustee”). 
 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee have heretofore executed and
delivered an Indenture, dated as of July 31, 2002 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million of 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 of the Company (the “Securities”); 
 WHEREAS, Section 9.02 of the Indenture provides that the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may make certain amendments to the
Indenture with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; 
 WHEREAS, the Company
distributed an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated as of January 11, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”), in order to, among other things, make an offer to purchase (the “Offer”) all
outstanding Notes upon terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase and to solicit consents (the “Consents”) from the Holders to amendments to the Indenture set forth in Article 3 below (the
“Amendments”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the Trustee evidence satisfactory to the Trustee that Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding have given and, as of the date hereof, have not withdrawn their Consents to the Amendments; and 
 WHEREAS, the execution of this Third Supplemental Indenture by the parties hereto is in all respects authorized by the provisions of the Indenture, and the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and all other covenants and conditions precedent, if any, provided for in the Indenture relating to the execution of this Third Supplemental Indenture have been complied with as of the date hereof with respect
to such authorization, and all things necessary to make this Third Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee in accordance with its terms have been done. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities as follows: 







 ARTICLE I 
 Definitions 
 SECTION 1.1 Defined Terms. As used in this Third Supplemental Indenture, terms defined
in the Indenture or in the preamble or recital hereto are used herein as therein defined. The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereby” and other words of similar import used in this Third Supplemental Indenture refer to
this Third Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular section hereof. 
 ARTICLE II 
 Effect 
 SECTION 2.1 Effect. This
Third Supplemental Indenture shall become effective upon its execution and delivery by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amendments shall only become operative when validly tendered Notes representing at least a majority of the
then aggregate outstanding principal amounts of the Notes (excluding for such purposes any Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates) are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer. If, after the date hereof, either the Offer is
terminated or withdrawn or all payments in respect of the Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer are not made on the Payment Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), the Amendments shall have no effect and the Indenture shall be deemed
to be amended so that it reads the same as it did immediately prior to the date hereof. The Company shall provide prompt notice to the Trustee if it accepts the Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer, or if the Offer is terminated or withdrawn or
all payments in respect of the Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer are not made on the Payment Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).

deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the

 (vii) The text of Section 8.04 is hereby amended to read as follows: 
 “The Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option may be exercised only if: 
 (a) the Company
irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and interest, or Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes to be defeased to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

opinion that the payments of principal and interest including Special Interest, if any, when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in
such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest, including Special Interest, if any, when due on all the Notes to be defeased to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (c) [Intentionally omitted.] 
 (d) such
deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement or instrument binding on the Company;
