The aggregate principal amount of securities to be purchased in the Maximum Tender Offers will be equal to the difference between the USD 825 million tender cap and the aggregate principal amount of securities purchased through the Any and All Offers.

Holders of securities subject to the Maximum Tender Offer who validly tender their securities after the early tender date and on or before the Maximum Tender Offer expiration date will receive the applicable late tender offer consideration, which is the applicable full tender offer consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium per USD 1000 principal amount of securities tendered by such holder that are accepted for purchase.

Holders of securities subject to the Maximum Tender Offer who validly tender their securities on or before the early tender date may not withdraw their securities after the early tender date except in the limited circumstances described fully in the Offer to Purchase.

Holders of the securities subject to the Maximum Tender Offer who validly tender their securities after the early tender date but on or before the Maximum Tender Offer expiration date may not withdraw their securities except in the limited circumstances described in the Offer to Purchase.

The applicable full tender offer consideration for each of the USD 1000 principal amount of securities tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Any and All Offer and the Maximum Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to a fixed spread specified for such securities over the yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security specified on the cover page of the Offer to Purchase, as calculated by the Dealer Managers for the tender offers, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on 14 May 2007, for the Any and All Offer and at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on 04 June 2007, for the Maximum Tender Offer, respectively.
