                           validity and enforceability of this Supplemental
                           Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer
                           hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of
                           and interest 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 or any performance so
                           guaranteed for whatever reason, each Guaranteeing
                           Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated
                           to pay the same immediately. Each Guaranteeing
                           Subsidiary agrees that this is a guarantee of payment
                           and not a guarantee of collection.

                  (2)      Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees that its
                           obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
                           irrespective of the validity, regularity or
                           enforceability of the Notes or this Supplemental
                           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 any other
                           Guarantor. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby waives
                           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 and covenants that its
                           Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by
                           complete performance of the obligations contained in
                           the Notes, the Indentures and this Note Guarantee.

                  (3)      If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court
                           or otherwise to return to the Issuer, to any
                           Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or
                           other similar official acting in relation to either
                           the Issuer or to any Guarantor, any amount paid by
                           either to the Trustee or such Holder, the Note
                           Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged,
                           shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

                  (4)      Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that it shall not
                           be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation
                           to the Holders in respect of any Note Guarantee until
                           payment in full of all obligations guaranteed under
                           this Supplemental Indenture. Each Guaranteeing
                           Subsidiary further agrees that, as between it, on the
                           one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the
                           other hand, (x) the

                                        2

<PAGE>

                           maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
                           accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the
                           Indentures for the purposes of this Note 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
                           Indentures, such obligations (whether or not due and
                           payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
                           each Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this
                           Note Guarantee. 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 Note Guarantee.

         2.       Incorporation of Terms of Indentures. The obligations of each
                  Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Note Guarantees shall be
                  governed in all respects by the terms of the Indentures and
                  shall constitute a Guarantee thereunder. Each of the parties
                  hereto shall be bound by the terms of the Indentures as they
                  relate to the Note Guarantees.

         3.       No Recourse Against Others. No stockholder, officer, director,
                  employee or incorporator, past, present or future, or a
                  Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any personal
                  liability under this Note Guarantee by reason of his, her or
                  its status as such stockholder, officer, director, employee or
                  incorporator.

         4.       NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
                  YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL
                  INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES
                  OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE
                  LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

         5.       Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of
                  this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an
                  original, but all of them together represent the same
                  agreement.

         6.       Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for
                  convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

         7.       Disclaimer by Trustee. The Trustee makes no representation as
                  to the validity of this Supplemental Indenture or the proper
                  authorization or due execution of this Supplemental Indenture
                  by the Issuer, the Existing Guarantors or the Guaranteeing
                  Subsidiaries.
