Holders who validly tender and do not withdraw their Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 3, 2014, unless such date is extended (the "Consent Payment Deadline"), will be entitled to receive $1,055.83, payable in cash, for each $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase, which amount includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase. Holders who validly tender their Notes after that time but prior to the Expiration Date will be entitled to receive $1,025.83, payable in cash, for each $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase. Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 3, 2014.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and accompanying Consent and Letter of Transmittal, holders who validly tender Notes will also receive accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. The settlement date for Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Consent Payment Deadline is expected to occur upon satisfaction or waiver by the Company of the conditions to the Offer, which is expected to be on or about June 4, 2014.
