The Second Supplemental Indenture was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 30, 2012.

The redemption date for the 2017 Notes will be September 5, 2017.

The redemption price for the 2017 Notes will be calculated in accordance with the Second Supplemental Indenture, and will be equal to the greater of:

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2017 Notes being redeemed to, but not including, September 5, 2017.
