(the “Company”) notified The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York (the “Trustee”), as trustee under the indenture, dated as of November 30, 2001 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, of its election to redeem all of its outstanding 2.75% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2021 (the “Securities”) on April 29, 2010 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price of $1,011.31 per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities, equal to the par value thereof plus accrued and unpaid current cash interest to the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”).

The Company expects to fund the Redemption Price with cash on hand.
