WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of January 31, 2006 providing for the issuance of 3.50% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”);
WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the 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 “Note Guarantee”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.01 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 Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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.

Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), (a) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest (including Contingent Interest, if any) on the 3.50% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) whether at the Final Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, or a senior subordinated basis, if lawful, and the due and punctual performance of all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Final Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise. The obligations of the Guarantors to the Holders of Notes and to the Trustee pursuant to the Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article 12 of the Indenture, including the circumstances under which such obligations may be released and the terms by which such obligations are subordinated to Senior Guarantor Indebtedness, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of the Guarantee. Each Holder of a Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee, on behalf of such Holder, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the Trustee attorney-in-fact of such Holder for such purpose. This Guarantee may be released in accordance with the Indenture without any further act by any Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this guarantee shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (1) any sale, exchange or transfer to any person not an affiliate of the Company, of all of the capital stock in, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Guarantor, which transaction is in compliance with the terms of the Indenture and pursuant to which transaction such Guarantor is released from all guarantees, if any, by it of other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (2) the release by the holders of the Indebtedness of the Company of their guarantee by such Guarantor (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Indebtedness), at such time as (A) no other Indebtedness of the Company has been guaranteed by such Guarantor, or (B) the holders of all such other Indebtedness which is guaranteed by such Guarantor also release their guarantee by such Guarantor (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Indebtedness) or (3) such Guarantor ceasing to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
