The first risk factor on page S-8 of the preliminary prospectus supplement is hereby replaced with the following:

The change of control triggering event provision in the notes provides only limited protection against significant events that could negatively impact the value of your notes.

As described under “Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event,” upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event with respect to the notes, we will be required to offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, the repurchase date, unless the notes have already been called for redemption. However, the definition of the term “change of control triggering event” is limited and does not cover a variety of transactions (such as certain acquisitions or recapitalizations) that could negatively impact the value of your notes.


For a change of control triggering event to occur, there must be both a change of control and a ratings downgrade to below investment grade by each rating agency (as defined in the indenture). As such, if we enter into a significant corporate transaction that negatively impacts the value of your notes, but which does not constitute a change of control triggering event, you would not have any rights to require us to repurchase the notes prior to their maturity or to otherwise seek any remedies.

* 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.
