in our tender offer to purchase any or all of our $130 million outstanding 7.00% senior notes due
2014, and the expiration of the early tender period in our Dutch auction tender offer to purchase
up to $65 million of our outstanding 6.25% senior notes due 2015. We also announced preliminary

As previously disclosed on April 6, 2010, the tender offers are part of a series of related

amount of 7.15% senior unsecured notes due 2020, which we completed on April 13, 2010.
