 on the debt securities of such series at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. However, we will remain liable for such payments. (Section 10.06) Under current United States federal income tax laws, a legal defeasance would be treated as an exchange of the relevant debt securities in which holders of those debt securities might recognize gain or loss. Unless accompanied by other changes in the terms of the debt securities, a covenant defeasance generally should not be treated as a taxable exchange. In order to exercise our defeasance options, we must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the deposit and related defeasance would not cause the holders of the debt securities to recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes. In the case of legal defeasance, such opinion of counsel must be based on (i) an Internal Revenue Service ruling or (ii) a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law occurring since the date of the existing indenture.

| 2) | we have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by us in respect of such series of debt securities; and |

| 3) | we have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in
