$1.3&nbsp;billion of Senior Term Notes and $225&nbsp;million of Variable Funding Notes (the &#147;New Notes&#148;). The net proceeds of the new facility would be used for repayment of the Existing Notes, transaction costs associated with the
refinancing and general corporate purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial">There can be no assurance regarding the timing of a refinancing transaction, the interest rate at which the Existing
