 “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets,” and an Event of Default relating to any failure to comply with such covenants will no longer apply to us (which we refer to in this prospectus as a “covenant defeasance”). |

If we exercise our legal defeasance option, payment of such debt securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option, payment of such debt securities may not be accelerated by reference to the covenants from which we have been released or pursuant to Events of Default referred to above which are no longer applicable. If we fail to comply with our remaining obligations with respect to such debt securities under the existing indenture after we exercise the covenant defeasance option and such debt securities are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the amount of money and government obligations on deposit with the Trustee may be insufficient to pay amounts due 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. Satisfaction and Discharge The existing indenture provides that upon our request, the existing indenture will cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of debt securities expressly provided for therein) as to all outstanding debt securities of any series, and the Trustee, at the expense of us, will execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction and discharge of the existing indenture with respect to such debt securities, when:
