Holders who validly tendered their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline, and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline, will receive $1,095, payable in cash, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for payment, which amount includes an early tender payment of $30 per $1,000 of Notes accepted for payment.

Because we are offering to purchase $100,000,000, or 66.6%, of the $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, on the early settlement date we are limited to accepting 66.6%, or approximately $41.9 million aggregate principal amount, of the Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.  In addition to the consideration described above, accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the early settlement date will be paid in cash on all validly tendered and accepted Notes.  Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by us of conditions to the offer, we expect that the Early Settlement Date will be on or before Wednesday, October 27, 2010.
