WITNESSETH


 


WHEREAS,
the Company has heretofore executed and delivered an indenture  (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 20,
2003, between the Company and the Trustee, pursuant to which the Company has
issued its 9.25% Senior Notes due 2013 (collectively, the “Securities”);


 


WHEREAS,
each of the Subsidiaries wishes to guarantee the obligations of the Company
under the Indenture and the Securities on the terms set forth herein and, in
accordance with Section 4.09 of the Indenture, execute and deliver this
Supplemental Indenture providing for such guarantee;


 


WHEREAS,
Section 9.01 of the Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee
may amend the Indenture or the Securities without notice to or consent of any
Holder of the Securities to add Guarantees with respect to the Securities; and


 


WHEREAS,
the respective Boards of Directors, Managers or Partners of the Company and
each of the Subsidiaries, as applicable, have authorized and approved the
execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Trustee mutually
covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows:


 


ARTICLE
1


 


CAPITALIZED
TERMS


 


Section 1.01           Capitalized Terms.


 


Capitalized
terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture.


 

















 


ARTICLE 2


 


GUARANTEE OF THE SECURITIES


 


Section 2.01              Guarantee.


 


Subject to the
provisions of this Article 2, each Subsidiary hereby unconditionally
guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors
and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest
on the Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption
or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under the
Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture and the Securities and (b) the full
and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other
obligations of the Company under the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture and
the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”).  Each Subsidiary further agrees that the
Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or
further assent from such Subsidiary, and that such Subsidiary will remain bound
under this Article 2 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any
Obligation.


 


Any term or
provision of this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the
maximum aggregate amount of the obligations guaranteed hereunder by any
Subsidiary shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed
without rendering the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, as they relate
to such Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally.


 


Each
Subsidiary waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the
Company of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for
nonpayment.  Each Subsidiary waives
notice of any default under the Securities or the Obligations.  The obligations of each Subsidiary hereunder
shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the
Company or any other Person under the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture,
the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or
renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or
modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture, this
Supplemental Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (d) the
release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations
or any of them; or (e) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to
exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations.
Each Subsidiary further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes
a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a
guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had
by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the
Obligations.


 


Except as
expressly set forth in Section 8.01(b) of the Indenture and 2.06 of
this Supplemental Indenture, the obligations of each Subsidiary hereunder shall
not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any
reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or
compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the


 


2

















 


foregoing, the
obligations of each Subsidiary herein shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any
claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Indenture, this Supplemental
Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification
of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the
performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or
delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary or would otherwise operate as a
discharge of such Subsidiary as a matter of law or equity.


 


Each
Subsidiary further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment,
or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation is rescinded
or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy
or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.


 


In furtherance
of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or
the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary by virtue hereof,
upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any
Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any
other Obligation, each Subsidiary hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of
written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to
the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid
amount of such Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such
Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all
other monetary Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.


 


Each
Subsidiary agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full in cash of
all Obligations.  Each Subsidiary further
agrees that, as between it, 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 VI of the Indenture for the
purposes of such Subsidiary’s Subsidiary Guarantee herein, 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 VI
of the Indenture, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary for the purposes of this
Section.


 


Each
Subsidiary also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights
under this Section 2.01.


 


Section 2.02           Contribution.


 


Each of the
Company and any Subsidiary (a “Contributing Party”) agrees that, in the
event a payment shall be made by any other Subsidiary under any Subsidiary
Guarantee (the “Claiming Guarantor”), the Contributing Party shall
indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such
payment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the net worth
of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator of which


 


3

















 


shall be the
aggregate net worth of the Company and all the Subsidiaries on the date of this
Supplemental Indenture.


 


Section 2.03           Successors and Assigns.


 


This Article 2
shall be binding upon each Subsidiary and its successors and assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the
Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder
or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in the
Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture and in the Securities shall
automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all
subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and this Supplemental
Indenture.


 


Section 2.04           No Waiver.


 


Neither a
failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in
exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 2 shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude
any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies and benefits of the
Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not
exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under
this Article 2 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.


 


Section 2.05           Modification.


 


No
modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 2, nor
the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary therefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the purpose for which given.  No
notice to or demand on any Subsidiary in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary
to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.


 


Section 2.06           Release of Subsidiary.


 


A Subsidiary
shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee hereunder
upon:


 


(i)                        upon
the sale (including any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies by a holder
of indebtedness of the Company or of such Subsidiary), transfer or other
disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of all the Capital
Stock of such Subsidiary; or


 


(ii)                       upon
request of the Company without consent of any Holder unless, within 20 Business
Days after written notice of the proposed release of such Subsidiary is mailed
to the Trustee and the Holders, Holders of 25% of the outstanding principal
amount of Securities deliver to the Company a written objection to such
release; or


 


4

















 


(iii)                      with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding; or


 


(iv)                      upon
defeasance of the Securities pursuant to Article VIII of the Indenture; or


 


(v)                       upon
the full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture pursuant
to Section 8.01(a) of the Indenture or otherwise in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture; or


 


(vi)                      in
the event such Guarantee would no longer be required pursuant to Section 4.09
of the Indenture;


 


provided,
however, that in the case of clause (i) above, (a) such sale or other
disposition is made to a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company, (b) such sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise
permitted by the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture and (c) the
Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee to the effect that the
Company will comply with its obligations under Section 4.06 of the
Indenture.


 


At the request
of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument
evidencing such release.
