Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will lose all rights as a Holder of the tendered Notes and interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Offer for such Notes.

The Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase. The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to waive any and all conditions to any Offer.
