 Dear Liz: 
  
 As you know, US
Airways, Inc. (“the Company”) is in the process of implementing its Transformation Plan, which will enable it to compete effectively against the competition, including the increasing number of Low-Cost Carriers (“LCCs”). A major
portion of the Transformation Plan involves reductions in the Company’s employee costs, which means changes in the compensation benefits of all employees, including officers. Specifically, pursuant to the management cost reductions announced on
October 4, 2004: 
  

	 	1.	 	effective October 11, 2004, your salary will be reduced by 10%; 

  

	 	2.	 	effective October 11, 2004, the amount contributed to your retirement plan will be reduced by 25%; 

  

	 	3.	 	effective January 1, 2005, the current system for sick and vacation days will be replaced by a Paid Time Off (PTO) system, under which you will be entitled to twenty-five (25) PTO
days and eight (8) holidays; 

  

	 	4.	 	under the new PTO system, the eight holidays will be New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and two floating holidays; and

  

	 	5.	 	Section 6 of the Agreement will be applied according to your salary of record prior to reduction. 

  
 By your signature below, you agree that (a) the changes identified in items 1-5 above will not, either separately or in the
aggregate, constitute “Good Reason,” as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement entered into as of March 1, 2003 between you and the Company (“the Agreement”); (b) the changes identified in items 1-5 do not constitute a
breach of the Agreement; and (c) as of the date of this letter, “Good Reason” does not presently exist with respect to you either due to the changes identified in items 1-4 above or due to any other events. 
  
 This letter will be deemed to constitute a written amendment to your
Agreement.

 Exhibit 4.2 
  
 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 (Addition of Guarantor) 
  
 SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of September 30, 2004, among DIRECTV Home Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Additional Guarantor”), DIRECTV Holdings LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“DIRECTV Holdings” or an “Issuer”), DIRECTV Financing Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DIRECTV Finance” or an “Issuer” and together with
DIRECTV Holdings, the “Issuers”), the Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to below) and The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as trustee under the Indenture (the “Trustee”). 

 
 W I T N E S S E T H 
  
 WHEREAS, the Issuers and Guarantors have heretofore executed and delivered to
the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of February 28, 2003, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 27, 2004, providing for the initial issuance of an aggregate principal amount of
$1,400,000,000 of 8 3/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Additional Guarantor has recently become a guarantor under the
Senior Secured Credit Facility; 
  
 WHEREAS, Section 4.13 of the
Indenture provides that the Additional Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Additional Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers’ obligations under the Notes and
the Indenture on the terms set forth in the Indenture as a result of the Additional Guarantor becoming a guarantor under the Senior Secured Credit Facility; 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 parties agree 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 Additional Guarantor and its successors under the Indenture, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the due and

 
punctual performance of all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee all in accordance with the terms set forth in Article 10 of the
Indenture and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, guarantee that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or
renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. The Additional Guarantor also hereby assumes each other obligation and right of a Guarantor under the Indenture. 
  
 3. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF GUARANTEE. To
evidence its guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 of the Indenture, the Additional Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such guarantee in substantially the form of Exhibit B to the Indenture shall be endorsed by an officer of such Additional
Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. The Additional Guarantor, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth herein and in Section 10.01 of the Indenture shall remain in
full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. 
  
 4. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OWNERS,
EMPLOYEES, INCORPORATORS AND STOCKHOLDERS. No director, owner, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuers, the Guarantors or the Additional Guarantor, or any of their
Affiliates, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers, the Guarantors or the Additional Guarantor, and any of their Affiliates, under the Notes, the Guarantees or the 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 SEC that such waiver is against public policy. 
  
 5. GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
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. 
  
 6. COUNTERPART ORIGINALS. 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. 
  
 7. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are
not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 
  
 8. 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 Issuers, the Guarantors and the Additional Guarantor.
