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 Guarantees”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee, the Company and the other Guarantors are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture for Additional Guarantees.

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.  The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby become parties to the Indenture as Guarantors and as such will have all the rights and be subject to all the Obligations and agreements of a Guarantor under the Indenture.
