 WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of February 12, 2008 providing for the issuance of 11% Senior Secured Notes due
2015 (the “Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that the New Parent shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture pursuant to which the New Parent shall become a party to the Indenture, agree to be bound by all applicable provisions of the Indenture, and unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and
the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Guarantee”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01
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, the New Parent 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. The New Parent hereby provides an unconditional
Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 11 thereof, and subject to the limitations therein. 
 3. AGREEMENT TO BECOME A PARTY. The New Parent hereby agrees to become a party
to the Indenture and to be bound by all applicable provisions of the Indenture including but not limited to the covenants set forth under Articles 4, 5, 12 and 13 thereof.

the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation. Each Holder of 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. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal
securities laws.
