The company wants to change the indentures governing the notes to allow it greater flexibility in its business plans and financial management in connection with changes to its business model since the notes were issued in November 2012.

The company will pay a consent fee of $5.00 per each $1,000 principal amount of 5¾% notes and $5.00 per each $1,000 principal amount of 7 1/8% notes for which a holder has validly delivered a consent.

For each note series, the solicitation is conditioned on consents representing at least a majority in principal amount of notes.
