proper alphabetical location:




          “Parent” means any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of

remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.



     5. Modification, Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this First Supplemental
Indenture may not be amended, supplemented, modified or waived, unless otherwise provided in the
Indenture, except by the execution of a supplemental indenture executed by the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, and, to the extent such amendment, supplement or waiver
adversely affects the rights of any Holders, with the Required Consent of such Holders. Any such
amendment or supplemental indenture shall comply with Article IX of the Indenture. Until an
amendment, waiver or other action by Holders becomes effective, a consent thereto by a Holder of a

heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.



     7. Trust Indenture Act Controls. If any provision of this First Supplemental
Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with any provision of the TIA that is required under the
TIA to be part of and govern any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, the provision of
the TIA shall control. If any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture modifies or excludes
any provisions of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the provisions of the TIA shall be
deemed to apply to the Indenture as so modified or to be excluded by this First Supplemental
Indenture, as the case may be.



     8. Governing Law. THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREUNDER THAT WOULD INDICATE THE APPLICABILITY OF THE LAWS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION.



     9. Trustee Disclaimer. The Trustee has accepted the amendment of the Indenture
effected by this First Supplemental Indenture and agrees to execute the trust created by the
Indenture as hereby amended, but only upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture,
including the terms and provisions defining and limiting the liabilities and responsibilities of
the Trustee, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be
responsible in any manner whatsoever for or with respect to any of the recitals or statements
contained herein, all of which recitals or statements are made solely by the Company, or for or
with respect to: (a) the validity or sufficiency of this First Supplemental Indenture or any of the
