6. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. To the extent a Guarantor which is a German
limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung — GmbH) or a limited partnership
(Kommanditgesellschaft) with a GmbH as its sole general partner (Komplementär) (GmbH & Co. KG)
(the “Affected German Guarantor”) guarantees Obligations under the Agreement, the parties hereto
agree that enforcement of that guaranty shall be limited to the extent that such payment under
this guaranty has the effect of (i) reducing the Affected German Guarantor’s Net Assets
(Nettovermögen) to an amount less than its share capital (Stammkapital)(Begründung einer
Unterbilanz), and , as a result, cause a violation of Section 30 of the German Limited Liability
Companies Act (GmbH-Gesetz) or (ii) if its Net Assets are already an amount less than its share
capital (Stammkapital), causing such Net Assets to be further reduced (Vertiefung einer
Unterbilanz), and, as a result, cause a violation of Section 30 of the German Limited Liability
Companies Act (GmbH-Gesetz) or (iii) violating other applicable German law which may cause the
managing directors of the Affected German Guarantor to be personally liable.
For purposes of this Section, “Net Assets” shall mean the assets, pursuant to Section 266 (2)
(A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the sum of the
non-subordinated liabilities pursuant to Section 266 (3) (B), (C), (D) and (E) of the German
Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch). The value of the Net Assets shall be determined in accordance
with general accepted accounting principles (Grundsätze ordnungsgemäßer Buchführung) under the
German Commercial Code (HGB) consistently applied by the Affected German Guarantor in preparing
its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss) according to Section 42 German Limited
Liability Companies Act (GmbHG), Sections 242, 264 German Commercial Code (HGB) in the previous
years.
6. Release of Obligations of Giant Funding Corp. Upon execution of this
Supplemental Indenture by the Company and the Trustee, the Escrow Issuer is released
and discharged from all obligations under the Indenture and the Notes.

contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Company.

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
