Except for such extension of the expiration date, all other terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase Solicitation as set forth in that certain Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated September 24, 2012 (the “Statement”), and the related Consent and Letter of Transmittal of even date thereof, remain unchanged.

All such Notes were tendered on or prior to the original expiration date.
Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to the Offer to Purchase set forth in the Statement, the Company will pay the Tender Offer Consideration (as defined in the Statement) by no later than promptly following the Extended Expiration Date for all Notes and Consents validly tendered and accepted for payment on or prior to such date.
