being the "Exchange Offer"), and (ii) solicitation of consents to (a)

The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are conditioned upon
at least 95% of the outstanding aggregate amount of the Existing
Notes being validly tendered and not withdrawn, which condition may
be waived by the Company in its sole discretion. The Exchange Offer
and Consent Solicitation are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on May 12, 2009, unless extended by the Company in
its sole discretion. The Company will not receive any cash proceeds

Warrants will be exercisable at any time after issuance thereof and,
unless earlier exercised, will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time
on December 1, 2016. Upon exercise, the holders of the New Warrants
will be entitled, in the aggregate, to purchase shares representing
7.5% of the Company's common stock on a fully-diluted basis as of the
