WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Issuers and the existing Guarantors have heretofore executed and delivered to the
Trustee an indenture (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the Indenture), dated as of
January 29. 2010 providing for the issuance of 8% Senior Notes due 2018 (the Notes);
WHEREAS, Section 4.13 of the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the New
Guarantors shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the
New Guarantors shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers 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 and the Issuers 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 New Guarantors, the Issuers and the
Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes
as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Defined terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
2. Agreement to Guarantee. The New Guarantors hereby agree, jointly and severally
with all existing Guarantors (if any), to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in Article X of the Indenture and to be bound by all other
applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Notes and to perform all of the obligations and
agreements of a Guarantor under the Indenture.
