constitute all or substantially all, or substantially an entirety, of
the Company’s assets (the “Proposed Amendment”).

tendered 2018 Notes on a prorated basis and did not accept for purchase

December 16, 2015, the Company and the trustees under the indentures
governing the 2018 Notes, the Election 1 Notes and the Election 2 Notes

each of the indentures governing the 2018 Notes, the Election 1 Notes
and the Election 2 Notes.
As of the expiration time with respect to the Tender Offer and the

revoked in the Consent Only Option. On January 14, 2016, the Company
announced that it had extended the Tender Offer and the Consent
Solicitation for the 2024 Notes by five business days until the 2024
Expiration Time and had waived the condition to the Tender Offer for the
2024 Notes requiring the execution of a supplemental indenture effecting
the Proposed Amendment to the indenture governing the 2024 Notes. The
Company has accepted for purchase all 2024 Notes tendered at or prior to
the 2024 Expiration Time. The Company has accepted for payment all
Consents delivered at or prior to the 2024 Expiration Time pursuant to
