W I T N E S S E T H

        WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the "Original Indenture"), dated as of February 28, 2002 providing for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of up to $175 million of 8⁷/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the "Notes") and a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 4, 2002 (together with the Original Indenture, the "Indenture"):

        WHEREAS, Section 9.01 of the Indenture provides that the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture without the consent of any holders of the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

        WHEREAS, it has been determined by the Company that ambiguities, defects and/or inconsistencies exist by reason of the inadvertent failure of the Original Indenture to conform to the prospectus pursuant to which the Notes were originally offered and sold, and the respective Boards of Directors of the Company and of the Guarantors have authorized this Supplemental Indenture to cure such ambiguities, defects and/or inconsistencies; 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, each 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.    AMENDMENTS TO INDENTURE. The Original Indenture shall be amended as follows:

'Guarantor' means each of (1) all Subsidiaries of the Company on the date of this Indenture that are guarantors under the Company's indenture dated March 12, 2001 with respect to the Company's 11¹/8% senior subordinated notes due 2008 and listed on Schedule I hereto; and (2) any other Subsidiary that executes a Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; and their respective successors and assigns."

        (b)  by removing clause (15) of the definition of "Permitted Investments" set forth in Section 1.01 in its entirety and replacing it with the following clause:

        (c)  by adding the following sentence to Section 2.14:

        (e)  by removing Section 6.01(f) in its entirety and replacing it with the following provision:

Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if the Trustee shall have received an Officers' Certificate that all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived."

3

        (h)  by removing the first clause of Section 10.03(a) (ii) and replacing it with the following clause:

"any other default on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that then permits holders of the Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from the Credit Agent, the Company or any holder of any Designated Senior Debt."

        (i)    by removing the first sentence of Section 4 of Exhibit A—Form of Note and replacing it with the following sentence:

        (l)    by adding the following as Section 18 to Exhibit A (Form of Note):

"18.  RANKING. This Note ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Company's 11¹/8% senior subordinated notes due 2008 in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 and will rank pari passu in right of payment with any Additional Notes."

        4.    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.

        5.    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.
