and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.06 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, each 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. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby
agrees 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, the Notes or the obligations of the
Company hereunder or thereunder, on a senior subordinated basis pursuant to, and in accordance
with, the terms and conditions of Article Eleven of the Indenture and to otherwise assume the
obligations and rights as a Guarantor under the Indenture.
3. Releases. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a request by the
Company for a release of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary of its obligations under Article Eleven of the
Indenture, which request shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to
compliance with Section 11.03 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument
evidencing such release.

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.
