“Section 5.01. Consolidation. The Company shall not, in a single transaction or through a series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person unless:

(a)         (i) either the Company shall be the continuing corporation or (ii) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee all of the Obligations of the Company under the Securities and the Indenture; and

(b)            the Company has delivered, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation or merger, and such supplemental indenture in respect thereto comply with the provisions described herein and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.”

(c) Section 5.02 of the Indenture (Successor Substituted) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, for purposes of making changes conforming to the amendments to Section 5.01, by the following:

“Section 5.02. Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged, shall succeed to, shall be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture, with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company herein. In the event of any transaction described and listed in Section 5.01 in which the Company is not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed or remaining shall succeed to, be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Company, and the Company shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Securities and this Indenture.”

(ii)            the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation or merger, and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the Indenture.”
