The reference yield was determined by Barclays Capital, Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the dealer managers for the tender offers, based on the bid-side price for the applicable reference security at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, today, as described by the Offer to Purchase dated May 30, 2007.

Holders who tendered Debentures by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 7, 2007 will be eligible to receive the total consideration (as set forth above), and holders who tender Debentures after such date and prior to the expiration date of the tender offers (12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 26, 2007 (unless extended)) will be eligible to receive the tender offer consideration (as set forth above). In addition, holders of Debentures accepted for purchase will be paid accrued interest to but excluding the settlement date. Assuming the settlement date occurs on June 27, 2007, as currently expected, the accrued interest to be paid will be as set forth above.

Since the aggregate principal amount of Debentures validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the tender offers exceeds the $400 million tender cap, only $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Debentures tendered will be accepted for purchase. All Debentures due 2011 will be accepted before any other Debentures are accepted. Once all the Debentures due 2011 have been accepted, Debentures due 2012 will be accepted, subject to the tender cap and proration of that series as described in the Offer to Purchase. Once all the Debentures due 2012 have been accepted, Debentures due 2013 will be accepted, subject to the tender cap and proration of that series as described in the Offer to Purchase. Any tendered Debentures not accepted will be promptly returned to the tendering parties.
