Section 4.04 of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture provides that, upon the occurrence of certain merger or consolidation events in which the Common Stock of the Company is changed or exchanged into the right to receive

Section 5.11 of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture provides that, upon the occurrence of certain merger or consolidation events, the Company and the Trustee shall execute a supplemental indenture providing that each
Debenture be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities which the Holder of such Debenture would have been entitled to receive upon such merger or consolidation event had such Debenture been converted into Common
Stock immediately prior to such event.
