“ARTICLE FOURTEEN

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 1401 Guarantee.

If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made for the guarantee of the Securities of a series by Guarantors, then the provisions of this Article Fourteen, with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities, shall be applicable to the Securities of such series.

Subject to this Article Fourteen each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security, to which this Article Fourteen is applicable, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), 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 (b) 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. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of

the Securities 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 other than the defeasance of the Securities pursuant to Section 1302 of the Indenture. Subject to Section 507 hereof, each Guarantor hereby waives 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 and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture.

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 the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Each Guarantor agrees that it 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. Each Guarantor further agrees that, 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 Five hereof for the purposes of this Note 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 Five hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. 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 Note Guarantee.

Section 1402 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such 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 this Article Fourteen, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 1403 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 1401, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit E shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Responsible Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 1401 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

In the event, subsequent to the execution of this Indenture, (a) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any new Restricted Subsidiary that provides a Guarantee of any Debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including but not limited to certain Subsidiaries of SPS Technologies, Inc.) or (b) any direct or indirect Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor provides a Guarantee of any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Company shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture and Note Guarantees in accordance with this Article Fourteen, to the extent applicable (in the form of Exhibit D hereto providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Securities by such Restricted Subsidiary on the same basis as the Guarantors at the time of the execution of such supplemental indenture) and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 10 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created or provided such Guarantee.

Section 1404 Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.

A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

(a) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default exists; and

(b) (i) 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 the Guarantor) is a corporation or limited liability company, organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the

Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such sale or other disposition, the Guarantor would not otherwise be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 1010(vi) of the Indenture and such sale or disposition otherwise complies with Article 8 of the Indenture.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Securities and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by a Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for a Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles 8 and 10 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities 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.

Section 1405 Releases of Guarantors.

Any Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee, (i) in connection with any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Affiliate of the Company in compliance with this Article Fourteen, or (ii) if a Guarantor consolidates with or merges with or into another Person other than the Company or another Guarantor in compliance with this Article Fourteen, and such Guarantor is not the surviving Person, or (iii) if the Guarantor would not otherwise be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 1010(vi) of the Indenture, or (iv) upon legal defeasance of the Company’s and all Guarantors’ obligations under the Securities and the Note Guarantees pursuant to Section 1302 or upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 401 hereof. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that one of the foregoing requirements has been satisfied and that the conditions of a release of a Guarantor under this Section 1405 have been met, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article Fourteen.”

Xxxxxx Trust Company, National Association (as successor to Bank One Trust Company, N.A., which was successor in interest to The First National Bank of Chicago), as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Company and the Guarantors have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of December 17, 1997, as amended by indentures supplemental thereto (the “Indenture”; which term as used herein includes the Second Supplemental Indenture dated December 9, 2003, establishing the title, form and terms of $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.60% Senior Notes due 2013 (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 obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 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.

2. Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows:

(a) Along with all other Guarantors, 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, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the 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. This Note Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

(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 that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor other than the defeasance of the Securities pursuant to Section 1302 of the Indenture.

(c) Subject to Section 507 of the Indenture, 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) The Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and 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 the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(f) The 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 Five of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note 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 Five of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not

D-2

due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Note Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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 Note Guarantee.

(h) That, pursuant to Section 1402 of the Indenture, it is the intention of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary that its Note Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee, and to effectuate the foregoing intention, agrees hereby irrevocably that the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary will be limited to the maximum amount as will (after giving effect to such maximum amount and any other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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 Fourteen of the Indenture) result in the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

3. Execution and Delivery. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Note Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

4. Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms. A Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving Person) another Person other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

(a) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default exists; and

(b) (i) 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 the Guaranteeing Subsidiary) is a corporation or limited liability company, organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that Guaranteeing Subsidiary under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such sale or other disposition, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary would not otherwise be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 1010(vi) of the Indenture and such sale or disposition otherwise complies with Article 8 of the Indenture.

Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note 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 Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles 8 and 10 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

5. Releases.

(a) Any Guaranteeing Subsidiary will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee: (i) in connection with any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Affiliate of the Company in compliance with Article Fourteen of the Indenture; or (ii) if such Guaranteeing Subsidiary consolidates with or merges with or into another Person other than the Company or another Guarantor in compliance with Article Fourteen of the Indenture, and such Guaranteeing Subsidiary is not the surviving Person, or (iii) if such Guaranteeing Subsidiary would not otherwise be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 1010(vi) of the Indenture, or (iv) upon legal defeasance of the Company’s and all Guarantors’ obligations pursuant to Section 1302 of the Indenture or upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 401 of the Indenture. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that one of the foregoing requirements has been satisfied and that the conditions to the release of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary under this Section 5 have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(b) Any Guaranteeing Subsidiary not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture as provided in Article Fourteen of the Indenture.

6. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, stockholder or agent of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, any Note 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

D-4

consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
