      the time of issuance.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     

    The Indenture was supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated February 11, 2000, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”) providing for the creation of a series of Securities
      denominated 51/4% Convertible Debentures due 2010 (the “Debentures”).

     

    Section 4.04 of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture provides that, upon the occurrence of certain merger or consolidation events in which the Common Stock of the Company is changed or exchanged into the right to receive
      shares of stock of another Person, such other Person shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture modifying the provisions of the Indenture, including the relevant provisions of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, which require the
      Company to repurchase the Debentures following a Change in Control to make such provisions apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control to the common stock and the issuer thereof.

     

    Section 5.11 of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture provides that, upon the occurrence of certain merger or consolidation events, the Company and the Trustee shall execute a supplemental indenture providing that each

      Stock immediately prior to such event.

      Supplemental Indenture is in form satisfactory to it.
