CHANGES TO THE TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFERS

Change in Consideration Offered to Holders of Existing Public Notes

The Company is amending the consideration offered to holders of Existing Public Notes who elect the Public Hold Option. In lieu of New Floating Rate Secured Notes or New Fixed Rate Secured Notes, holders that elect the Public Hold Option will receive at their election:

 

   

a new series of the Company’s Senior Secured Non-Amortizing Call-Protected Floating Rate Dollar Notes due December 31, 2013 (the “New Call-Protected Floating Rate Secured Notes”); or

 

   

a new series of the Company’s Senior Secured Non-Amortizing Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Notes due December 31, 2013 (the “New Call-Protected Fixed Rate Secured Notes”, and together with the New Call-Protected Floating Rate Secured Notes, the “New Call-Protected Secured Notes”)

Further, such holders will not receive any cash payment in respect of the Cash Reallocation. There is no change in the consideration offered to Minimum Payment Public Holders or in respect of the Public Paydown Option.

Eligible Holders of Existing Public Notes will still be entitled to elect the Public Paydown Option and no change is being made to the consideration that Eligible Holders who elect the Public Paydown Option would receive.

As an example of the foregoing, the description of the Public Hold Option contained under the heading “Consideration Offered” in the forepart of the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement is modified as follows:

Public Hold Option:

(i) a Minimum Public Cash Payment equal to $100,000; and

(ii) a new Company debt obligation in a principal amount equal to such holder’s aggregate principal amount of Existing Public Notes less the Minimum Public Cash Payment received by such holder (subject to reduction by the Accredited Investor’s pro rata share of any Cash Reallocation), which new Company debt obligation will be one of the following (at such holder’s option): (a) New Call-Protected Floating Rate Secured Notes or (b) New Call-Protected Fixed Rate Secured Notes; and

(iii) a cash payment in U.S. dollars equal to the Accredited Investor’s pro rata share of a Cash Reallocation,

if any; and(iv)the Restructuring Fee.

The other related disclosures are deemed to be modified accordingly.

The terms of the New Call-Protected Floating Rate Secured Notes and the New Call-Protected Fixed Rate Secured Notes are described in further detail below.

There is no change in the consideration offered to holders of Existing Private Notes, the holders of Existing Public Notes who elect the Public Paydown Option or to lenders with Existing Loans, except as such consideration may indirectly be affected by the change in consideration offered to holders of Existing Public Notes and related amendments to the New Secured Notes as described in this Supplement No. 1. See “Description Of New Call-Protected Secured Notes And Amendments To New Secured Notes” below.

Cash Reallocation

Because holders of Existing Public Notes that elect the Public Hold Option will not receive any portion of any Cash Reallocation, any such Cash Reallocation will be allocated and paid pro rata only among the Eligible Holders electing the Private Dollar Hold Option, the Euro Hold Option and the Sterling Hold Option and the Lenders electing the Loan Hold Option.

Changes to Conditions to the Exchange Offers

The condition relating to the percentage of Existing Private Notes required to be tendered is modified as follows:

The following additional condition will be added:

in the event 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes have not been tendered in the Exchange Offers, the holders thereof shall have agreed to reinstate the 2020 Notes as of the Settlement Date without modification to the term or tenor thereof and with such covenant modifications as the Company shall determine is appropriate;

Lock-Up Agreement from Certain Holders of Existing Public Notes

Certain holders of Existing Public Notes, who have represented to beneficially own approximately 43% of the Existing Public Notes, have executed a lock-up agreement (the “Existing Public Notes Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to:

 

   

tender their Existing Public Notes in the Exchange Offers and vote their Existing Public Notes to accept the Standby Plan to the extent that such Existing Public Notes are held on the Record Date;

 

   

cause a meeting of the ad hoc group of holders of Existing Public Notes to be convened within one Business Day of the date of the public release of the information contained in this Supplement No. 1 and recommend that such holders (i) tender all their Existing Public Notes in the Exchange Offers, (ii) vote their Existing Public Notes to accept the Standby Plan to the extent that such Existing Public Notes are held on the Record Date, and (iii) enter into the Existing Public Notes Lock-Up Agreement; and

 

   

upon the request of the Company, act to support, through the Public Note Steering Committee, to reduce the percentage of the principal amount of Existing Public Notes required as a condition to the Exchange Offers from 85% to such percent as may be specified by the Company, but not less than 51%.

Amendment to the References to the Public Notes Steering Committee

All references to the “Public Notes Steering Committee” in the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement, as amended, will be understood to refer collectively to the holders of Existing Public Notes who have executed the Existing Public Notes Lock-Up Agreement. Approval or consent of the Public Notes Steering Committee to modifications, waivers, amendments and other changes which are, in accordance with the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement, as amended, subject to the approval or consent of the Public Notes Steering Committee, shall be determined in accordance with the requirements of the Existing Public Notes Lock-Up Agreement (and any such approval or consent, if the aggregate holdings of the members of the Public Notes Steering Committee represent a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Existing Public Notes, may be reported by Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, unless and until such Public Notes Steering Committee notifies the Company that they have replaced Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, in which case such new representative).

The Company reserves the right to amend or waive any and all conditions to consummate the Exchange Offers, provided that under no circumstance may any of the conditions set forth under “The Exchange Offers and Solicitation of Consents and Votes on the Standby Plan—Conditions of the Exchange Offers” be amended or waived without providing withdrawal rights or without the consent of the Private Notes Steering Committee, the Public Notes Steering Committee and the Majority Consenting Creditors.

The other related disclosures are deemed to be modified accordingly.

New Expiration Time and Voting Deadline

The Expiration Time with respect to the Exchange Offers and the Public Note Consent Solicitation and the Voting Deadline with respect to the Standby Plan were previously scheduled to expire at 5.00 p.m. New York City time, on June 8, 2010 (as extended on June 2, 2010).

Withdrawal Rights

Each Eligible Holder of Existing Notes (other than Minimum Payment Public Holders) who has prior to the date hereof tendered its notes in the Exchange Offers has the right to withdraw such tender at any time prior to the scheduled Expiration Time on June 22, 2010 (without giving effect to any further extension). If the Existing Public Notes Lock-Up Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof, the Company will provide withdrawal rights to the members of the Public Notes Steering Committee. Any such holder who validly withdraws previously tendered Existing Notes and does not validly re-tender Existing Notes prior to the new Expiration Time, will not receive the applicable offer consideration, and, in the case of the Existing Public Notes, the consents made under the Public Note Consent Solicitation will be withdrawn. A holder who validly withdraws previously tendered Existing Notes and validly retenders such Existing Notes prior to the new Expiration Time will receive the applicable offer consideration and, in the case of the Existing Public Notes, will be deemed to consent to the Proposed Amendments under the Public Note Consent Solicitation.

CHANGES TO THE TERMS OF THE STANDBY PLAN

The Standby Plan attached as Exhibit B to the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement will be amended to reflect the following changes and will be provided to you by the Information Agent upon request. Under the terms of the Standby Plan, as hereby amended, holders of Existing Public Notes (other than each Minimum Payment Public Holder) will receive New Call-Protected Secured Notes equal in aggregate principal amount to such holders’ aggregate principal amount of Existing Public Notes.

*  The Scheduled Amortization Amount for the New Secured Notes (other than the New Call-Protected Secured Notes) is equal to the Securities Ratable Share of each combined aggregate amount shown in the table above. The dollar amounts assume 100% of the Existing Public Notes tender in the Exchange Offers. The aggregate dollar amounts will each be reduced by the percentage of Existing Public Notes that are not exchanged relative to the aggregate total debt outstanding under the New Secured Notes and New Secured Loans assuming 100% of Existing Public Notes do tender.

 

  The Company may defer redemption of Scheduled Amortization Amounts of New Secured Notes and corresponding scheduled amortization amounts under the New Credit Agreement, in an aggregate cumulative amount of principal payments of the New Secured Loans and principal redemptions of the New Secured Notes up to $200,000,000 prior to June 30, 2013. Such deferrals will in no event cause or permit the aggregate cumulative amount of principal payments of the New Secured Loans and principal redemptions of the New Secured Notes combined after the Settlement Date to be less than $690,000,000 on June 30, 2013.

(iii) Mandatory Redemptions: With respect to each series of New Secured Notes (other than the New Call-Protected Secured Notes), the Company will redeem:

(a) an amount equal to the Securities Ratable Share of 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain debt (excluding certain permitted debt) incurred by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company after the Settlement Date;

(b) an amount equal to the Securities Ratable Share of 50% of the net cash proceeds of any capital stock issued by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company other than to the Company or a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (including in any public, private or “PIPE” transaction) at any time after the second anniversary of the Settlement Date;

(c) an amount equal to the Securities Ratable Share of any Realized Proceeds received by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company after the Settlement Date. A portion of Realized Proceeds received by the Company from a reinvestment of Realized Proceeds or other retained cash is also subject to mandatory redemption as provided in the New Secured Note Indenture; and

(d) an amount equal to the Securities Ratable Share of the Prepayment Percentage of any excess cash flow for each fiscal year of the Company (or, in the case of fiscal year 2010, the portion thereof beginning on July 1, 2010);

provided that (x) the aggregate amount of funds from any source required to be applied to the redemption of the New Secured Notes pursuant to the mandatory redemptions described above will be reduced by an amount equal to the Securities Ratable Share of $510,000,000 and (y) no redemption of the New Secured Notes will be required pursuant to the mandatory redemptions described above and no deposits in the prepayment deposit account pursuant to (c) above will be required until the aggregate amount that but for clause (x) above would be required to be applied to the redemption of the New Secured Notes pursuant to any mandatory redemption exceeds the Securities Ratable Share of $510,000,000.

12


  

•     the Company may not redeem the New Call-Protected Secured Notes at any time that any other series of New Secured Notes or any New Secured Loans are outstanding, and the Company may redeem or repay New Secured Notes (other than New Call-Protected Secured Notes) and New Secured Loans without at the same time redeeming any New Call-Protected Secured Notes;

  

•     the Company may refinance the New Credit Agreement or any series of New Secured Notes without being required to repay or redeem the New Call-Protected Secured Notes, it being understood that any such refinancing will be subject to the other terms and conditions currently described in the form of New Secured Notes Indenture and the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement, including the limit on principal amount and, prior to August 1, 2012, in the event such refinancing debt is secured debt that is pari passu with the New Call-Protected Secured Notes, the application of waterfall provisions from the New Secured Notes and New Secured Loans to such refinancing debt such that any proceeds from asset sales would be applied to such refinancing debt prior to being applied to the New Call-Protected Secured Notes;

  

•     the Company will not agree to any material change (as reasonably determined by the Public Notes Steering Committee) to the economic terms (of the type described in the Existing Public Notes Lock-Up Agreement) of the consideration offered to holders of the Existing Private Notes and Existing Loans in connection with the Exchange Offers or under the Standby Plan without offering such material change to holders of the Existing Public Notes; and

The other related disclosures including corresponding provisions in the New Credit Agreement are deemed to be modified accordingly.

Supplemental Risk Factor Disclosure

The disclosure contained in “Risk Factors – Risks Related to implementing the Standby Plan” is supplemented by the following additional risk factor:

The Company may lose the servicing fees it receives from its on-balance sheet securitizations as well as a portion of the net asset value attributed to the loan assets held by its consolidated securitization trusts if the Company files for protection under the Code

As of March 31, 2010, the Company, through certain wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary trusts, had approximately $1.7 billion in debt outstanding under five on-balance sheet securitizations, which was secured by $2.1 billion of loan and related assets at fair value. In its role as servicer of the collateral for each securitization, the Company receives a quarterly servicing fee based on the outstanding principal amount of the securitized loan assets. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received approximately $26 million in servicing fees from the securitizations. The filing of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding relating to the Company would result in an event of default under the notes issued by the Company’s consolidated securitization trusts. Under the terms of the securitizations, such an event of default would permit the required lenders or indenture trustee to remove the Company from its role as servicer and appoint a successor servicer, although there would be defenses to any such actions. Thus, if the Company seeks protection under the Code, the Company could lose the servicing fee payments that it receives from its consolidated securitization trusts. The event of default under the securitizations could also allow the required lenders and indenture trustees to exercise certain remedies, including the right to take possession of and sell the assets held by the Company’s consolidated securitization trusts, although there also would be various defenses to any such actions. In such case, the securitized loan assets could be sold at a significant discount to their respective fair values included on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, resulting in a reduction of the Company’s net asset value. Additionally, if the Company’s servicing rights are terminated, the Company could lose its controlling vote over the debt classes for certain of its unencumbered loan assets, which could impede the Company’s ability to manage and realize proceeds from such investments.
