C. Articles IX and XI of the Indenture authorize the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any Securityholder, to enter into a
supplemental indenture to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company contained in the Indenture and the Debt Securities.

obligations of the Company under the Indenture, the Debt Securities, the Capital Securities Guarantee and the Declaration upon the Merger.
