     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Indenture, the Issuer and the Guarantors, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, when an Officers’ Certificate is provided stating that such amendment or supplement complies with the provisions of Section 8.01, may amend or supplement the Indenture without notice to or consent of any Holder to provide for the assumption by a successor entity of the obligations of Parent under the Indenture;
     WHEREAS, ArcelorMittal, a Luxembourg company (and the “Parent” under the Indenture as a result of a merger occurring on September 3, 2007 with Mittal Steel Company N.V.), merged by absorption (the “Step 2 Merger”) into Arcelor, a Luxembourg company (the “Successor Parent”), effective as of November 13, 2007 (the name of such surviving entity having been changed to “ArcelorMittal”), and as a result of the Step 2 Merger, the Parent has ceased to exist and has transferred by law all of its assets and liabilities to the Successor Parent;
     WHEREAS, Luxembourg, the country under which the Successor Parent is organized, was a member nation of the European Union on March 25, 2004; and
     WHEREAS, the Issuer, the Guarantors and Trustee wish to enter into this Supplemental Indenture pursuant to Section 4.22(1) of the Indenture in order to reflect the assumption by the Successor Parent of all the obligations of the Parent under its Note Guarantee and the Indenture.
     NOW, THEREFORE, each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other parties and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes, as follows:
