(v) disclosing that any 2017 Debenture not tendered for repurchase will continue to accrue interest; and

(vi) specifying the procedures for tendering 2017 Debentures.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2017 Debentures, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2017 Debentures by virtue of such conflict.

-5-

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Xxxxx’x (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Xxxxx’x); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company.

“Xxxxx’x” means Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc.
