announced the commencement of an offer to exchange up to $600,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.750% Senior Notes due
2022 (the “Old Notes”) for the same principal amount of 5.750% Senior
Notes due 2022 (the “New Notes” and, together with the Old Notes, the
“Notes”), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Old Notes were issued on

Securities Act. The terms of the New Notes are substantially identical
in all material respects to the terms of the Old Notes, except that the

Notes. Old Notes that are not exchanged will continue to be subject to
the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Old Notes.
The exchange offer is being made to satisfy the Company’s registration
obligations entered into in connection with the issuance of the Old
Notes, and it does not represent a new financing transaction.
The exchange offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on July 17, 2014, unless extended by the Company. Tenders of Old
Notes must be made before the exchange offer expires and may be
withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.
