(1) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes and excluding accrued and unpaid
interest, which will be paid in addition to the Total Consideration or
Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable.
(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered prior to the Consent Date
(as defined below).

Holders who validly tender their Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, December 7, 2009, (the "Consent Date") shall receive a total consideration of $1,050.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered, which includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Holders must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Consent Date in order to be eligible to receive the total consideration (including the consent payment). Holders tendering their Notes after the Consent Date will receive the tender offer consideration of $1,020.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered.

The Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes tendered and accepted for payment in the tender offer from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the date on which the Notes are purchased.

The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 21, 2009, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company (the "Expiration Date"). Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 7, 2009, unless extended by the Company (the "Withdrawal Date").

Holders may not tender their Notes without delivering their consents to the proposed amendments to the indenture and the Notes and may not deliver their consents without tendering their Notes pursuant to the tender offer. The proposed amendments will not become effective, however, until after a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, whose holders have delivered consents to the proposed amendments, have been accepted for payment. Any tender of the Notes prior to the Withdrawal Date may be validly withdrawn and consents may be validly revoked at any time prior to the Withdrawal Date, but not thereafter except to the extent we are required by law to provide withdrawal rights. Holders who tender Notes after the Withdrawal Date will not be entitled to receive the consent payment.

The Company has reserved the right to (and expects to) accept for purchase Notes tendered prior to the Withdrawal Date on a date prior to the Expiration Date (the "Early Settlement Date," expected to be December 8, 2009) all Notes then validly tendered. On the Early Settlement Date, the Company will also pay accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the Notes up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date on the Notes accepted for purchase.

The Company's obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer and the consent solicitation is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in the Company's discretion, of certain conditions, which are more fully described in the Offer to Purchase, including, among other things, receipt of the requisite number of consents to the proposed amendments to the indenture and the Company's consummation of the new issuance of debt in aggregate principal amount of at least $500 million on or prior to the Early Settlement Date.
