Accordingly, consents and waivers will be accepted from DTC participants on behalf of such Holders.

December 8, 2010 (the “Expiration Date”). Any beneficial owner whose Notes are held through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to consent should contact the Holder of its Notes promptly and instruct such Holder to consent on its behalf.
     Holders who wish to consent to the Proposed Amendment must deliver their properly completed and executed letter of consent and waiver by facsimile transmission, or by overnight courier, hand delivery or mail, to the Tabulation Agent (and not to the Company) at its facsimile number or address set forth above for receipt prior to the Expiration Date. However, the Company reserves the right to accept any consent received by it, the trustee or the Tabulation Agent. The method of delivery of this letter of consent and waiver and all other required documents to the Tabulation Agent is at the risk of the Holder, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Tabulation Agent. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure timely delivery. No letter of consent and waiver should be sent to any person other than the Tabulation Agent.
     HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE CONSENT SOLICIATION STATEMENT PRIOR TO CONSENTING TO THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.

(the “Trustee”) intend to execute a third supplement to the indenture dated as of October 30, 2009, among the Company, the guarantors named therein and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (as successor trustee to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.), as trustee thereunder (as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 25, 2010 and the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 21, 2010, the “Indenture”) governing the Notes. However, the undersigned also acknowledges that the effectiveness of the Proposed Amendment is conditioned upon the Company having obtained waivers or consents or amendments from the lenders under the Priority Credit Facility and the Working Capital Facility such that the execution of the Third Supplemental Indenture shall not constitute a default thereunder, with terms and conditions of any such waivers, consents and amendments substantially similar to those in the Third Supplemental Indenture.
