(1) We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment thereof on or about the settlement date specified in this communication, which will be the seventh business day following the date of pricing of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+7”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or the next three succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+7, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or the next three succeeding business days should consult their own advisor.

 

(2) Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

Changes to Preliminary Prospectus Supplement

 

  1. The aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 to be issued in this offering has increased from $1,250.0 million to $1,600.0 million (the “Additional Notes”). The gross proceeds from the Additional Notes are intended to be used to prepay a portion of the Issuer’s $2.2 billion of non-extended term loans due 2014 under its credit agreement.

 

  2. In the first paragraph under the heading “Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Liens”, the words “securing any Indebtedness” are inserted after the words “thereafter acquired” so that such first paragraph reads in its entirety as follows:

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any of its assets or properties (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), or any income, profits or proceeds therefrom, in each case whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness, other than:

(1) in the case of any Initial Lien on any Collateral, such Initial Lien if such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien; and

(2) in the case of any Initial Lien on any asset or property not constituting or required to become Collateral, such Initial Lien if (a) the Notes and the Guaranties are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Initial Lien secures any Subordinated Indebtedness) the Obligations secured by such Initial Lien, or (b) such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien.

 

  3. The first sentence under the heading “Description of the Notes—Collateral—Description of the Collateral” is replaced in its entirety with the following sentence:

The Notes and the Guaranties will, with certain exceptions, have the benefit of Liens on the Collateral, including after-acquired Collateral, which will consist of first-priority security interests in the Collateral shared with the other First Lien Obligations, including the Credit Agreement Obligations (subject to Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted by the Indenture, which may rank ahead of the first-priority security interests for the benefit of the Notes).

 

  4. Additional conforming changes are made throughout the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement to reflect the issuance of the Additional Notes and the other changes reflected above.
