in a manner that is materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes;
(b) the terms and conditions of the Security Holders Agreements in a
manner that is materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes; or

the consent of the Trustee upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, to the general effect that the proposed amendment is not
adverse to the Parent Entity or the Company, and an opinion of an ESOP
consultant, to the general effect that the proposed amendment will not
accelerate the timing or amount of the Parent Entity's obligations to repurchase
common stock from employees terminating their participation in the ESOP
Component; provided further, however, that amendments, supplements or other
modifications to the ESOP Documentation in connection with a Parent Entity
Transaction or a termination of the ESOP shall not be limited by or subject to
this Section 4.16(c).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the paragraph

the ESOP Documentation shall be permitted
so long as the Board of Directors or an Officer of the Company determines in
good faith on, or within five Business Days of, the date the respective
amendment, supplement or modification becomes effective, that the respective
such amendment, supplement or modification is not reasonably likely to result in
a material adverse change in the business, financial condition or results of
operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as whole.

any such consolidation or merger assumes all the Obligations of that
Guarantor under (i) this Indenture and its Note Guarantee on the terms
set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent and (ii) the Security Documents to which that
Guarantor was a party by amendment, supplement or other instrument
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, and
in connection therewith shall cause such instruments to be filed and
recorded in such jurisdictions and take such other actions as may be
required by applicable law to perfect or continue the perfection of
the Lien created under the Security Documents on the Collateral owned
by or transferred to the surviving entity; or
(b) the Net Proceeds of such Disposition are applied in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including
without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof; and
(3) if the Guarantor is a party to the Environmental Indemnity

Indemnity Agreements are effectively assigned in full to the Person formed
by or surviving any consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or
another Guarantor) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer,
conveyance or other Disposition has been made, pursuant to agreements
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon
the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and
delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note
Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and
conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor
Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect
as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. All Note Guarantees so evidenced
will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture
as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been executed
at the Issue Date.
Except as set forth in Articles IV and V hereof, and notwithstanding
clauses 2(a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the
Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger
of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent
any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.
