The Schedule TO was filed by the Company with respect to the right of each holder (the “Holder”) of the Company’s 2.75% Senior Convertible Debentures due 2027 (the “Debentures”) to require the Company to repurchase, and the obligation of the Company to repurchase, each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, January 10, 2012 (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company Repurchase Notice, Notice of Entry into Supplemental Indenture and Offer to Repurchase dated December 6, 2011 (as it may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Company Repurchase Notice”), a copy of which was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO, the Indenture and the Debentures.

The Schedule TO was, and this Amendment No. 1 is, intended to satisfy the disclosure requirements of Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
