Holders who validly tender their Notes and deliver their consents by the Early Tender Deadline shall receive $1,010 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes if the Notes are accepted for purchase. Holders who validly tender their Notes and deliver their Consents after the Early Tender Deadline but by the Expiration Time shall receive $980 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes if the Notes are accepted for purchase. Holders whose tendered Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent interest payment date for the Notes, to, but not including, the applicable payment date for the Notes in the tender offer.

Holders who validly tender their Notes and deliver their consents by the Early Tender Deadline and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive payment promptly after the Early Tender Deadline. Holders who validly tender their Notes and deliver their Consents after the Early Tender Deadline but by the Expiration Time and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive payment promptly after the Expiration Time.

The consents are being solicited to eliminate certain restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained in the indenture governing the Notes. Holders may not tender their Notes without delivering consents or deliver consents without tendering their Notes.

The tender offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including a requisite consents condition. The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer are described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated August 4, 2009, copies of which may be obtained by contacting Global Bondholders Services Corporation as Information Agent at (866) 924-2200 (U.S. toll-free) or (212) 430-3774.

Holders must make their own decisions as to whether to tender Notes and deliver consents, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.
