to, among other things:

· incur certain liens securing debt;

· engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions; and

· consolidate, merge, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets.

Further Issuances
We may, from time to time, without the consent of the existing holders of any series of Notes, issue
additional notes under the Indenture of a series having the same terms as any series of the Notes in
all respects, except for the issue date, the issue price and the initial interest payment date. Any such
