 WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of
February 12, 2008 and as supplemented from time to time, providing for the issuance of 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that the New Sub shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the New Sub 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 Sub
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 Sub 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 Sub 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.

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.
