      which such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore
      and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

     

    

    
      5

      
        


    

    In case of any such consolidation or merger such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter issued as may be appropriate.”

    (B)          the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation or merger, and, if applicable, the assumption by the resulting or surviving Person
      of Parent Guarantor’s obligations under its Parent Guarantee hereunder, complies with the Indenture.

    

    

    If the conditions set forth in (A) and (B) above are otherwise satisfied, the consolidation or merger of Parent Guarantor with or into any Person shall not be or be deemed to be a violation, default or breach by Parent
      Guarantor of any of the provisions of Article Fifteen hereof.”

    SECTION 306.          Counterparts.

    

    

    This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
      instrument.  This Supplemental Indenture shall become effective and constitute a binding agreement between the parties hereto when counterparts hereof shall have been executed and delivered by each of the parties hereto.

    

    

    SECTION 307.          Separability Clause.

    

    

    In case any provision in this Supplemental Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
