On March 31, 2009, the Corporation entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as representatives of the underwriters named in Schedule II thereto (the "Underwriting Agreement"), relating to the offer and sale by the Corporation of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8.950% Senior Notes due 2014 (the "Notes"). The Underwriting Agreement contains customary terms and conditions.

The offering of the Notes closed on April 3, 2009.

In connection with the offering of the Notes, certain of the exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.
