of Accounts.  There shall be
established an AMG Stock Account, an Affiliate Investments Account and an Other
Investments Account in the name of each Participant and a separate account (the

and forfeitures allocable to each Participant each Plan Year.  In the absence of a designation by the

with respect to any matter which involves the voting or other similar rights
attached to such Plan Assets, (b) in the event of a tender or exchange
offer for all or substantially all of the Stock of AMG, whether such Stock

Participant’s Accounts with respect to which the Trustee does not receive
instructions shall not be voted, tendered or exchanged, as applicable, and (iii) Plan
Assets held in the Unallocated Account shall be voted, tendered or exchanged,
as applicable, in the same proportion as the applicable Plan Assets allocated
to Participant’s Accounts with respect to which instructions are received by
the Trustee are voted, tendered or exchanged.

Investments Account shall vest in four equal annual increments of twenty-five
percent (25%) commencing on the first day of the new calendar year following
the one year anniversary of the date of grant. 
Subject to the determination of the Administrative Committee, vesting of
stock in the AMG Stock Account or Affiliate Investments Account shall be
subject to rounding to avoid the vesting of fractional shares.

 

Section 5.2.            Deferral.  No Participant shall be permitted to defer
the vesting of Accounts that would otherwise vest pursuant to the terms of this
Section V.

 

Section 5.3.            Vesting
of Forfeitures.  Forfeitures allocated
among Participants pursuant to Section 5.5 shall vest in accordance with Section 5.1,
unless otherwise decided by the Administrative Committee.

 

Section 5.4.            Special
Rule.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, provided that a Participant’s Accounts have not
previously been forfeited, such Participant shall be 100% vested in his or her
Participant’s Accounts upon (i) the death or Disability of such
Participant, (ii) such Participant’s termination of Employment by AMG
without Cause or other involuntary termination of employment, (iii) the
termination of the Plan or (iv) a Change in Control.  Except as set forth in this Section 5.4,
the accelerated vesting of Accounts shall be prohibited.

 

Section 5.5.            Forfeiture.  Except as specified in Section 5.4
hereof, unvested Plan Assets in any Participant’s Accounts shall be immediately
forfeited and such unvested Plan Assets shall not be distributable to such
Participant upon the termination of Employment of the Participant.

 

In the event of such
forfeiture, all unvested Plan Assets in any such former Participant’s Accounts
shall be returned to the Unallocated Account, added to any contributions for
such Plan Year and allocated as of the end of the Plan Year in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof. 
In the event that all Participants forfeit the unvested Plan Assets,
such unvested Plan Assets shall be distributed to a Section 501(c)(3) organization
as directed by the Investment Administrator.

SECTION VI.       DISTRIBUTIONS

 

Section 6.1.            General.  Except as provided below and in Section 9.10,
all vested Plan Assets credited to any Participant’s Accounts shall be promptly
distributed to such Participant (or, if applicable, his or her Beneficiary) and
shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 9.8 and 9.9, provided that any
such distribution shall be made no later than March 15 of the calendar
year following the year in which such Plan Assets become vested. The
distribution of shares of Stock shall be in whole shares only with any
remainder being paid in cash; all other distributions shall be in cash or as

Participant’s Accounts for a taxable year shall be distributed from the Trust
to each such Participant no less often than annually, and in any event by March 15
of the year following the year in which net income or net gain arises, without
regard to whether such Participant is vested in Plan Assets held in his or her
Accounts.  For the avoidance of doubt,
net income and net capital gain attributable to Plan Assets held in the
Unallocated Account, shall be allocated to Participants in accordance with Section 4.2
and distributed as provided herein.  No net
taxable income or net taxable gain shall be allocated to the Unallocated
Account.  No interest shall be payable on
dividends or other earnings allocated to a Participant’s Accounts but not yet
distributed.

 

SECTION VII.      ADMINISTRATION
OF PLAN

 

Section 7.1.            Plan
Administrator.  The Plan Administrator
shall be the Administrative Committee which shall have complete control over
the administration of the Plan and shall have the authority in its sole
discretion to (a) exercise all of the powers granted to it under this
Plan, (b) construe, interpret and implement the Plan, (c) prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules governing
its own operations, (d) make all determinations necessary or advisable in
administering the Plan, and (e) correct any defect, supply any omission
and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan. 
Action by the Administrative Committee may be taken by the vote of a
majority of its members.  Any action may
be taken by a written instrument signed by a majority of the members of the
Administrative Committee and action so taken shall be fully as effective as if
it had been taken by a vote at a meeting. 
The determinations of the Administrative Committee on all matters
relating to the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive.  The responsibility of the Administrative
Committee with respect to the management or control of the assets of the Trust
may be delegated or allocated to the Trustee and, for investment direction to
the Investment Administrator.

 

Section 7.2.            Indemnification.  No member of the Administrative Committee,
the Investment Administrator or any employee of AMG shall be liable for any
action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan.  Each such person shall be indemnified and
held harmless by AMG against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense
that may be imposed upon or incurred by such person in connection with or
resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such person may be a
party or in which such person may be involved

 

7

 

by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and
against and from any and all amounts paid by such person, with AMG’s approval,
in settlement thereof, or paid by such person in satisfaction of any judgment
in any such action, suit or proceeding against such person, provided that AMG
shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend the same.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall
not be available to a person to the extent that a final judgment or other final
adjudication binding upon such person establishes that the acts or omissions of
such person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such person’s
bad faith, fraud or willful criminal act or omission.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall
not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons
may be entitled under AMG’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of
law, or otherwise, or any other power that AMG may have to indemnify such
persons or hold them harmless.

 

Section 7.3.            Communication

the Trustee, a Participant, a Beneficiary, AMG or any other person who is to
receive such decision or direction by a document signed by any one or more
members of the Administrative Committee (or persons other than members) so
authorized, and such decision or direction of the Administrative Committee may
be relied upon by the recipient as being the decision of the Administrative
Committee.  The Administrative Committee may
authorize one or more of its members, or a designee who is not a member, to
sign on behalf of the entire Administrative Committee.  Decisions and directions of the Investment
Administrator may be communicated to the Administrative Committee, the Trustee,
a Participant, a Beneficiary, AMG or any other person who is to receive such
decision or direction by a document signed by such Investment Administrator.

 

Section 7.4.            Investment
Administrator.  The Investment
Administrator shall be the Investment Fiduciary, as described in the Trust
Agreement, and shall direct the Trustee in respect of specific investments in
the Affiliate Investments Accounts in order that the holdings in such Affiliate
Investments Accounts readily may satisfy any requirement for payment of cash (a) to
Participants upon vesting of such Affiliate Investments Accounts and (b) to
AMG for satisfaction of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of such
Affiliate Investments Accounts.

SECTION VIII.     AMENDMENT,
TERMINATION, ETC.

 

The Administrative
Committee reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify,
alter, amend, suspend, discontinue and terminate the Plan or the Trust
Agreement; provided that, no such modification, alteration, amendment,
suspension, discontinuance or termination shall materially adversely affect,
without the consent of the individual affected Participant, the rights of any
Participant under this Plan with respect to contributions previously made,
except that the Administrative Committee reserves to itself alone the right to (a) accelerate
the vesting of Participants’ Accounts and (b) make distributions to
Participants upon the termination of the Plan. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification, alteration, amendment or
termination of the Plan may be made which would cause or permit any part of the
assets of the Trust to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the
exclusive benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries, or which would cause
any part of the assets of the Trust to revert to or become the property of
AMG.  Any modification, alteration or

replaced by a new designation or may be revoked by a Participant at any time in
accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee.  In the event of a Participant’s death, the
amounts payable hereunder with respect to which a designation of Beneficiary

disposed of (including through the use of any cash-settled instrument) (each
such action being hereinafter referred to as an “assignment”), whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  Any assignment in
violation of the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall be void.  All the terms of this Plan shall be binding
upon such permitted successors and assigns.

 

Section 9.3.            Plan
Creates No Employment Rights.  Nothing in
the Plan shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employ
of AMG or affect any right which AMG may have to terminate such Employment.

on Liability.  No person shall have any
right or interest in the Plan or the Trust other than as provided herein.  The Trust assets shall under no circumstances

All distributions under the Plan shall be paid or provided solely from
the Trust assets, and AMG shall have no responsibility or liability to any
Participant or Beneficiary relating to any assets (including Stock) contributed
to the Trust. Any final distribution to any Participant or Beneficiary in

HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL
COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THE PLAN THAT IS NOT
OTHERWISE ARBITRATED OR RESOLVED ACCORDING TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 9.5.  This includes any suit, action or proceeding
to compel arbitration or to enforce an arbitration award.  AMG and each Participant, as a condition to
such Participant’s participation in the Plan, acknowledge that the forum
designated by this Section 9.6(a) has a reasonable relation to the
Plan, and to the relationship between such Participant and AMG.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
shall preclude AMG from bringing any action or proceeding in any other court
for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of Sections 9.5 and 9.6.

 

(b)  The agreement
by AMG and each Participant as to forum is independent of the law that may be
applied in the action, and AMG and each Participant, as a condition to such
Participant’s participation in the Plan, (i) agree to such forum even if
the forum may under applicable law choose to apply non-forum law, (ii) hereby
waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which
AMG or such Participant now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or
to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any court
referred to in Section 9.6(a), (iii) undertake not to commence any
action arising out of or relating to or concerning the Plan in any forum other
than the forum described in this Section 9.6 and (iv) agree that, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a final and non-appealable
judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court shall be
conclusive and binding upon AMG and each Participant.

(d)  Each
Participant hereby agrees, as a condition to such Participant’s participation
in the Plan, to keep confidential the existence of, and any information
concerning, a dispute described in Section 9.5 or 9.6, except that a
Participant may disclose information concerning such dispute to the arbitrator
or court that is considering such dispute or to such Participant’s legal
counsel (provided that such counsel agrees not to disclose any such information
other than as necessary to the prosecution or defense of the dispute).

 

11

 

(e)  Each
Participant recognizes and agrees that prior to being selected by the
Administrative Committee to participate in the Plan such Participant has no
right to any benefits hereunder. Accordingly, in consideration of a Participant’s
selection to participate in the Plan, each Participant expressly waives any
right to contest the amount of any contribution to the Plan, the terms of the
Plan, any determination, action or omission hereunder by the Administrative
Committee, AMG or the Board, or any amendment to the Plan (other than an
amendment to which such Participant’s consent is expressly required by Article VIII).

 

Section 9.7.            Governing

Section 9.8.            Taxes
and Withholding.

 

(a)  Upon a
Participant’s vesting in all or any portion of his or her Participant’s
Accounts, or in connection with any distribution or other event that gives rise
to a federal or other governmental tax withholding obligation relating to the
Plan (including, without limitation, FICA and Medicare tax), the Trustee shall
satisfy such withholding obligation as provided herein.  If the event giving rise to the withholding
obligation involves a transfer of shares of Stock or other stock or securities,
then the Trustee shall remit to AMG shares of Stock or, as applicable, other
shares of stock or securities, having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount
of tax to be withheld, or, at the discretion of the Participant, the
Participant may pay such withholding obligation directly to AMG in cash.  If the event giving rise to the withholding
obligation involves the Affiliate Investments Account or Other Investments
Account or distribution of income or capital gains of the Trust, then the
Trustee shall take such actions as shall permit it to remit cash to AMG.  For this purpose, Fair Market Value shall be
determined as of the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is
determined (and any fractional share amount may be settled in cash).

 

(b)  The Trustee may
transfer to AMG any amounts (cash or shares of Stock or other securities)
withheld or received from the Participant pursuant to Section 9.8(a).  Any deduction of cash, shares of Stock or
other securities from the Participant’s Accounts by the Trustee pursuant to
this Section 9.8 shall be treated as a distribution from the Trust to such
Participant and an election by the Participant to have such shares of Stock or
other securities applied to satisfy the withholding obligation.

 

(c)  No Participant
may make an election pursuant to section 83(b) of the Code with
respect to his or her interest in the Trust, any shares of Stock or any other
property held by the Trust.

 

12

 

Section 9.9.            Consents
and Legends.  The vesting and
distribution to a Participant of any shares of Stock or other stock or securities
may be conditioned on the receipt, to the full satisfaction of the
Administrative Committee, of (a) any and all listings, registrations or
qualifications in respect thereof upon any securities exchange or under any
federal, state or local law, or law, rule or regulation of a jurisdiction
outside the United States, (b) any and all written agreements and
representations by the Participant with respect to the disposition of shares of
Stock or other stock or securities, or with respect to any other matter, which
the Administrative Committee shall deem necessary or desirable to comply with
the terms of any such listing, registration or qualification or to obtain an
exemption from the requirement that any such listing, qualification or
registration be made, (c) any and all other consents, clearances and
approvals in respect of a plan action by any governmental or other regulatory
body or any stock exchange or self-regulatory agency that the Administrative
Committee may determine to be necessary or advisable and (d) any and all
consents or authorizations required to comply with, or required to be obtained
under, applicable local law or otherwise required by the Administrative Committee.  Nothing herein shall require AMG to list,
register or qualify the shares of Stock or other stock or securities on any
securities exchange.  AMG may affix to
any stock certificate (or other document or evidence of ownership) representing
shares of Stock or other stock or securities distributed under the Plan any
legend that the Administrative Committee determines in its sole discretion to
be necessary or advisable (including to reflect any restrictions to which a
Participant may be subject under a separate agreement with AMG). AMG may advise
the transfer agent to place a stop order against any legended shares of Stock
or other stock or securities.

 

Section 9.10.          Forfeiture
and Repayment after Erroneous Vesting. 
If, following any date on which a Participant becomes vested in all or
any portion of his or her Participant’s Accounts (the “Erroneously Vested
Portion”), the Administrative Committee determines that all terms and
conditions of the Plan were not satisfied on the relevant vesting date, such Participant
or former Participant shall cease to be vested in, and shall forfeit, such
Erroneously Vested Portion, and the Trust shall be entitled to receive, and
such Participant or former Participant shall be obligated to pay the Trust
immediately upon demand therefor the Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock
or interest in Affiliate Investments (determined as of the date of vesting) and
the amount of any cash delivered in respect of any distribution of the
Erroneously Vested Portion, without reduction for any shares of Stock or other
securities or cash, applied to satisfy withholding tax or other obligations in
respect of such erroneous vesting event.

 

Section 9.11.          Severability;
Entire Agreement.  If any of the
provisions of this Plan is finally held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
(whether in whole or in part), such provision shall be deemed modified to the
extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby;
provided, that if any of the provisions of this Plan is finally held to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable because it exceeds the maximum scope
determined to be acceptable to permit such provision to be enforceable, such
provision shall be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to
modify such scope in order to make such provision enforceable hereunder.  The Plan contains the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations
and warranties between them, whether written or oral with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

 

13

 

Section 9.12.          Expenses.
All expenses incurred by the Administrative Committee and the Trustee in
connection with administering this Plan and the Trust shall be paid by
AMG.  All taxes imposed on the Trust
related to income credited to or attributable to Trust assets shall be paid
from such assets and charged against the Participant’s Account to which the
income is allocated as though it were payable directly to the Participant.

 

Section 9.13.          Successors
and Assigns.  The terms of this Plan
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of AMG and its successors.

 

Section 9.14.          Plan
Headings.  The headings in this Plan are
for the purpose of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the
construction of the provisions hereof.

 

Section 9.15.          Construction.  In the construction of this Plan, the
singular shall include the plural, and vice-versa, in all cases where such
meanings would be appropriate.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and
as evidence of the adoption of this Plan effective as of November 7, 2005 by
AMG, it has caused the same to be signed by its duly authorized officer this 7th
day of November, 2005.

FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of September 30,
2005, among the Subsidiaries of the Company (as defined below) listed on Schedule II
hereto (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiaries”), Asbury Automotive Group, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the other Guarantors (as defined
in the Indenture referred to herein) and The Bank of New York, as trustee under
the indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, the Company has
heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of June 5,
2002 (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified by the First Supplemental
Indenture dated as of March 19, 2003, by the Second Supplemental Indenture
dated as of December 23, 2003, and by the Third Supplemental Indenture
dated as of December 7, 2004, the “Indenture”), providing for the
issuance of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”);

 

WHEREAS, the Indenture
provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall
execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which
each Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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 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 and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, the
Guaranteeing Subsidiaries, the other Guarantors 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 Guaranteeing Subsidiary
hereby agrees as follows:

 

(a)           Along with all 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, 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 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 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, and such Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all
obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture.

 

(e)           If any Holder or the Trustee is
required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors, or
any Custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation
to either the Company or the 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)            Such Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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 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 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 Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this
Subsidiary Guarantee.

 

2

 

(h)           The Guarantors 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 the Guarantee.

 

(i)            Pursuant to Section 10.02 of
the 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 effect to any
collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on
behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this new Subsidiary Guarantee
shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of
such Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance.

 

3.             EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary
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 SUBSIDIARIES MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON
CERTAIN TERMS.

 

(a)           No Guaranteeing Subsidiary may sell
or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to or
consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving
Person) another corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated with
such Guarantor unless:

 

either

 

(i)

 

(A)          the Person acquiring the property in
any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger, if other than such Guarantor, assumes all the
obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture, its Guarantee and, if the
Exchange Offer has not been consummated or Special Interest remains due and
owing, under the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental
indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and
completes all other required documentation; or

 

(B)           the Net Proceeds, if any, of such
sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the provisions of
described in the third paragraph of Section 4.10 of this Indenture; and

 

(ii)           immediately after giving effect to
such transaction, no Default exists.

 

(b)           In case of any such consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor
corporation, by supplemental

 

3

 

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
Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for
the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a
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 and Section 11.05 of Article 11 of the 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
Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any
sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

 

5.             RELEASES.

 

(a)           In the event of a sale or other
disposition of all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger,
consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all to the
capital stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition,
by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of
such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such
Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds, if any, of such sale or
other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture.
Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made
by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including
without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall
execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of
any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

 

(b)           Any 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 Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 11 of the
Indenture.

 

4

 

6.             NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of any
Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations
of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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 SEC that such a waiver is against
public policy.

 

7.             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.

 

8.             INDENTURE.  Except
as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture shall continue in full force and
effect in accordance with the provisions thereof as in existence on the date
hereof.  This Supplemental Indenture
shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes
heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.

 

9.             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.

 

10.           EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings
herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 

11.           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 Guarantors and
the Company.

 

5

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties
hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed, all as of
the date first above written.
