     WHEREAS the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein have heretofore executed and
delivered to the Trustee an Indenture (as such may be amended from time to time, the
“Indenture”), dated as of January 15, 1998, providing for the issuance of 11 3/8% Senior

     WHEREAS Section 11.6 of the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances a Guarantor
may be released from its Guarantee upon the sale of all of its Capital Stock to any Person that is
not a Subsidiary of the Company by execution and delivery to the Trustee of a supplemental
indenture; and



     WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.1(5) of the Indenture, the Trustee and the Issuer are 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 Issuer, CTS and the Trustee
mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows:



     1. Definitions. (a) Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.



     (b) For all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise herein expressly

have the same meanings as corresponding terms and expressions used in the Indenture; and (ii) the
words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereby” and other words of similar import used in this Supplemental
Indenture refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular section hereof.



     2. Release of Guarantee. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that from and after
the date hereof, CTS (a) is irrevocably and unconditionally released and discharged from and in
respect of any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities and obligations of any nature

hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.
