WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances certain subsidiaries of the
Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which each
such subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes
and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Old Note Guarantee”);

known as P-Four, Inc., a Philippines company (“P-Four”)), AIH LLC, ATL and AAP LLC, each an

referred to herein) and the Trustee;
WHEREAS, at no time did the terms of the Indenture require AAP to be added as a Guarantor or
to be included as a Guarantor under the Indenture because AAP does not meet the requirements of a
Guarantor as described in the definition of a Guarantor or in Sections 4.18 or 10.01 of the
Indenture in that AAP was not formed or capitalized after the date of the Indenture;

waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the

forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

any other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or
fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive

(i) subject to Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Indenture, the Person formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Company)
unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental
indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes,
the Indenture and the Note Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein; and
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of
Default exists.
3
(b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by
the successor corporation, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and
satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and
punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the
Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with
the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor corporation
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 the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at
the date of the execution hereof.
(c) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and Section 10.05 of Article 10 of the Indenture,
and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the
Notes 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.
6. Releases.
(a) In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way
of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all to the capital stock
of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to
such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a
sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital
stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and
relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale
or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture,
including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture. Upon delivery by the Company to the
Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other
disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including
without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents
reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under
its Note Guarantee.
(b) All Guarantors not party to this Supplemental Indenture shall remain liable for the full
amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor
under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture.
7. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer,
employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary or of ATL or AAP, as
such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture, the Old Supplemental 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 consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such
waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the
view of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.
8. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN
AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
4
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.
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 Guaranteeing
Subsidiary, ATL, AAP and the Company.
5
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly
executed and attested, all as of the date first above written.
