The Company intends to redeem (the “Redemption”) on June 13, 2011 (the “Redemption Date”) 10% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued on October 21, 2009 (the Notes being redeemed, the “Redemption Notes”). The redemption price for the Redemption Notes shall be equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof (the “Redemption Price”), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. The amount of accrued interest to the Redemption Date is approximately $6.027 per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes.

To collect the Redemption Price, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, the Redemption Notes must be surrendered for redemption to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as paying agent. Interest on the Redemption Notes will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.
