to (A) reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, solely for the

assigns, (i) the full and punctual payment of principal of or premium, if any, and interest
on, or Fundamental Change Payment or Redemption Price with respect to, the Notes when due, whether
at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the
Company under the Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes and (ii) in the
case of any extension of time of payment of any Notes or any other obligations, the full and
punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under
the Indenture and the Notes when due in accordance with the terms of any such extension. LSI
further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional irrespective of the absence or
existence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or
LSI (except to the extent such judgment is paid) or any waiver or amendment of the provisions of
the Indenture or the Notes to the extent that any such action or any similar action would otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (except that such waiver or
amendment shall be effective in accordance with its terms.)
(b) Payment, Performance and Compliance. LSI further agrees that the LSI Guarantee
constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance and not merely of collection.
(c) Waivers. LSI further agrees to waive presentment to, demand of payment from and
protest to the Company of the LSI Guarantee, and also waives diligence, notice of acceptance of the
LSI Guarantee, presentment, demand for payment, notice of protest for nonpayment, the filing of
claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company or any successor thereto

Trustee to exercise any right or remedy under the Indenture or the Notes.
(d) Payment by the Company. The obligation of LSI to make any payment hereunder may
be satisfied by causing the Company to make such payment. If any holder of Notes or the Trustee is
required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or LSI any amount paid by either of
them to the Trustee or such holder of Notes, the LSI Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(e) Costs and Expenses. LSI also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any holder of Notes in enforcing
any of their respective rights under the LSI Guarantee.
(f) Maximum. Any term or provision of this Supplement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the LSI Guarantee shall not exceed the maximum
amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Supplement, as it relates to LSI,
voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar
laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
