NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantors mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes as follows:

1. Guarantee. The Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantors hereby jointly and severally with all other Subordinated Guarantors unconditionally guarantee the Issuers’ obligations under the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article X of the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture and agree to be bound as a Subordinated Guarantor by all the other applicable provisions of the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture.

Except as expressly amended hereby, the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture for all purposes, and every holder of a Senior Subordinated Note heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

4. Trustee Makes No Representations. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture.

24046833v07





Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture.

8. No Recourse Against Others. No (i) director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator or holder of any Equity Interests in BP I or any Issuer or any direct or indirect parent corporation or (ii) director, officer, employee or manager of an Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantor, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Senior Subordinated Notes, this Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture, the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation; provided, however, the foregoing shall not in any manner affect the liability of an Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantor with respect to its Subordinated Guarantee. Each holder of Senior Subordinated Notes by accepting a Senior Subordinated Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Senior Subordinated Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

9. Indemnity. (a) The Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantors executing this Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture, subject to Section 10.08 of the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and each Agent (which in each case, for purposes of this Section, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel) against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture or a Subordinated Guarantee provided herein against the Issuers, BP I or an Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantor (including this Section) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, BP I, any Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Senior Subordinated Notes or the removal or resignation of the Trustee or the applicable Agent. The Trustee or the applicable Agent shall notify the Issuers of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuers shall not relieve any of the Issuers, BP I or the Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantors executing this Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuers’ expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or

expense incurred by an indemnified party solely through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(b) To secure the payment obligations of the Issuers, BP I and the Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantors in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Senior Subordinated Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held to pay principal of and interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes.

10. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements of the Issuers and the Additional Senior Subordinated Note Guarantors in this Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture and the Senior Subordinated Notes shall bind their respective successors and assigns. All agreements of the Trustee in this Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture or the Senior Subordinated Notes shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Senior Subordinated Notes Supplemental Indenture or the Senior Subordinated Notes.
