W I T N E S S E T H

     WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 12,2006 to the Indenture dated as of March 19,2004 (the
“Base Indenture” and, together with the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, the

     WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries
shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the
Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under
the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”); and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Base 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 Guaranteeing Subsidiaries 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. Each of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby agrees as follows:

	 	(a)	 	Along with all Subsidiary Guarantors named in the Indenture, to jointly and severally
Guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and
enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company
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 Company 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, the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.

	 	(b)	 	The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or the 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 Company, any action to enforce the same or
any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The following is hereby waived: diligence presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims
with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.
	 
	 	(d)	 	This Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture.
	 
	 	(e)	 	If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company,
the Subsidiary Guarantors, or any custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other similar official
acting in relation to either the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid by
either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
	 
	 	(f)	 	The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation
to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby.
	 
	 	(g)	 	As between the Subsidiary Guarantors, 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 6 of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture for the purposes of this Subsidiary
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 Tenth
Supplemental Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary
Guarantee.
	 
	 	(h)	 	The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the
rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee.
	 
	 	(i)	 	Pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, after giving effect to
any maximum amount and any other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under
any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving

2

 

	 	 	 	effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments
made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under Article 9 of the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture shall result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor
under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.

     3. Execution and Delivery. Each of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries agrees that the Subsidiary
Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each
Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

     4. Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms.

	 	(a)	 	The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries may not consolidate with or merge with or
into
(whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another
corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such Subsidiary
Guarantor unless:

	 	(i)	 	subject to Section 9.04 of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, the Person
formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a
Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the
obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental
Indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee,
under the Notes, the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms
set forth herein or therein; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
no Default or Event of Default exists.

	 	(b)	 	In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the
assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental Indenture, executed and
delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary
Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the
covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Subsidiary Guarantor,
such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Subsidiary
Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Subsidiary
Guarantor. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of
the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder
which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the
Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same
legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore
and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of
such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture,
and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or
in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary
Guarantor with or into the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or shall prevent
any sale or conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor.

3

 

     5. Releases.

	 	(a)	 	In the event of (i) the release or discharge of the Guarantee of the Credit
Agreement by a Subsidiary Guarantor, except a discharge or release by or as a result
of payment under such Guarantee or (ii) a sale or other disposition by way of such a
merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of any Subsidiary
Guarantor, then such Subsidiary Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition
of all of the capital stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor) will be released and
relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and
interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under
the Indenture as provided in Article 9 of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture.

     6. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, as such, shall have any
liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiaries under the Notes, any
Subsidiary Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities
under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is
against public policy.

     7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO
CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

     8. 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.

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

     10. The Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in
respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the
recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries
and the Company.

Company 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 Company 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

	 	(c)	 	The following is hereby waived: diligence presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any

demands whatsoever.

Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, or any custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other
similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors,
any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee,
to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
	 
	 	(f)	 	The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment
in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.
	 
	 	(g)	 	As between the Subsidiary Guarantors, 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 6 of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture for
the purposes of this Subsidiary 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 Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable
by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary
Guarantee.
	 
	 	(h)	 	The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any
non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the
rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

2

giving effect to any maximum amount and any other contingent and fixed liabilities

and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution
from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect

Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.

     3. Execution and Delivery. Each of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries agrees that the
Subsidiary Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to
endorse on
each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

     4. Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms.

	 	(a)	 	The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries may not consolidate with or merge with or into
(whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another
corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such Subsidiary
Guarantor
unless:

	 	(i)	 	subject to Section 9.04 of the Eleventh Supplemental
Indenture, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
(if other than a Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes
all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental
Indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under
the Notes, the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms set forth
herein or therein; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
no Default or Event of Default exists.

delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary
Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of
the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Subsidiary
Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the

Subsidiary Guarantor. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed
any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes
issuable
hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all
respects
have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Subsidiary
Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of
the execution hereof.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture,
and
notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in
any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor
with or into the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale 

3

 

	 	 	 	or conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor.

     5. Releases.

	 	(a)	 	In the event of (i) the release or discharge of the Guarantee of the Credit
Agreement
by a Subsidiary Guarantor, except a discharge or release by or as a result of
payment
under such Guarantee or (ii) a sale or other disposition by way of such a merger,
consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of any Subsidiary
Guarantor,
then such Subsidiary Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all
of
the capital stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor) will be released and relieved of
any
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its
Subsidiary
Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on
the

as provided in Article 9 of the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture.

     6. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, as such, shall have any
liability
for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiaries under the Notes, any
Subsidiary
Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect
of, or
by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note
waives
and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for
issuance of the
Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws
and it is
the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the
same

in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect
of the
recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing
Subsidiaries and
the Company.
