The Company expects that it will accept for purchase all Priority 1 Notes and a prorated amount of Priority 2 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date. The settlement for the Notes accepted by the Company in connection with the Early Tender Date is currently expected to take place on March 18, 2014 (the “Settlement Date”). The Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer may no longer be withdrawn, unless otherwise required by law.

The Tender Offer will formally expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on March 31, 2014, unless extended (the “Expiration Date”). However, as the Company intends to accept for purchase the Maximum Amount on the Settlement Date, further tenders of Notes prior to the Expiration Date will not be accepted for purchase. The amounts of each series of Notes that are purchased on the Settlement Date will be determined in accordance with the acceptance priority levels and the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase. It is expected that the Priority 2 Notes will be subject to a proration factor of approximately 85% percent and that no Priority 3 Notes, Priority 4 Notes or Priority 5 Notes will be accepted for purchase. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered, and the Tender Offer may be amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn with respect to one or more series of Notes.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. The Tender Offer is being made solely pursuant to terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.
