due to Holders who tender their Notes to the Company for purchase before such Notes
are paid in full at redemption or maturity, as the case may be, as long as the

3. EFFECT AND OPERATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. This Supplemental Indenture shall be
effective and binding immediately upon its execution by the
3
Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, and thereupon this Supplemental Indenture shall form
a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Note and Note Guarantee heretofore or hereafter
authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall be bound hereby; provided however,
notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary, the
amendments set forth in Section 2 of this Supplemental Indenture shall become operative only upon
and simultaneously with, and shall have no force and effect prior to, the Company’s acceptance and
initial payment for Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Tender Offer
and representing at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes
(such date of payment, the “Initial Payment Date”). Prior to the time the Company purchases any
Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer, the Company may terminate this Supplemental Indenture upon
written notice to the Trustee, including in connection with any termination or withdrawal of the
Tender Offer or the solicitation of Consents with respect to the Proposed Amendments (as defined in
the Statement) or if for any other reason the Notes are not accepted for payment pursuant to the
Tender Offer. If the Tender Offer is terminated or withdrawn, or the Company does not accept for
purchase, and pay for, the Notes for any reason, this Supplemental Indenture shall not become
operative. Except as modified and amended by this Supplemental Indenture, all provisions of the
Indenture and the Notes shall remain in full force and effect.
4. INDENTURE AND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE CONSTRUED TOGETHER. This Supplemental Indenture is an
indenture supplemental to, and in implementation of, the Indenture, and the Indenture and this
Supplemental Indenture shall henceforth be read and construed together.
5. TRUST INDENTURE ACT CONTROLS. If any provision of the Indenture, as amended by this
Supplemental Indenture, limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision which is required or
deemed to be included in the Indenture, as amended by this Supplemental Indenture, by the Trust
Indenture Act, such required or deemed provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control.
6. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS. No past, present
or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor,
as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or such Guarantor under the
Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture, as amended by this Supplemental Indenture, or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes.
7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICTS OF LAW
PRINCIPLES TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED
THEREBY.
4
8. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in this Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
9. 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.
10. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not
affect the construction hereof.
11. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in
respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the
recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Company.
