The offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the offer to exchange, dated February 3, 2009 (the “offer to exchange”), and the related letter of transmittal, previously filed as exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively, to the Schedule TO.

In addition, we may terminate the offer if any condition is not satisfied on or prior to the expiration date. Under the offer, if any of these events occur, subject to the termination rights described above, we may (i) return Corporate HiMEDS Units tendered thereunder to you, (ii) extend the offer, subject to the withdrawal rights described in “—Withdrawal of Tenders” herein, and retain all Corporate HiMEDS Units tendered thereunder until the expiration of such extended offer or (iii) amend the offer in any respect by giving oral or written notice of such amendment to the Exchange Agent and making public disclosure of such amendment to the extent required by law.”
