WHEREAS, Section 4.06 and Article X of the Indenture provide that under certain circumstances the Company may or must cause certain of its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplement to the Indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiaries shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes pursuant to a Guarantee on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and




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 Company, the Additional Guarantor and the Trustee 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.  The Additional Guarantor hereby agrees, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors, to unconditionally guarantee the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article X of the Indenture and to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Notes.  The Additional Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.  This Guarantee is subject to release as and to the extent provided in Section 10.04 of the Indenture.

Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  Such waiver and release form a part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees.
