Any holders of Series G ADSs or Series H ADSs tendered in excess of this limitation will be deemed to have elected to receive Notes instead on a pro rata basis.

No more than $7.8 million of Notes will be issued as consideration for Series G ADSs and no more than $7.8 million of Notes will be issued as consideration for Series H ADSs and any Series G ADSs or Series H ADSs tendered in excess of this limitation will be deemed to have made a cash election instead.

If either or both Series G ADSs and Series H ADSs are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in excess of the number of Series G ADSs or Series H ADSs set forth above that the Company is seeking in the Exchange Offer, they will be subject to the tender acceptance proration procedures described in the Prospectus (as defined below). Fractional interest in the Notes will not be issued for Series G ADSs or Series H ADSs. Instead, any holder who would otherwise receive a fractional interest in the Notes will have its distribution of Notes rounded down to the nearest $25.00 denomination and will receive a cash payment equal to the principal amount of the fractional interest. If you have already tendered your ADSs in the Exchange Offer you do not need to take further action to receive the increased consideration.

Holders who wish to tender their Series G ADSs and Series H ADSs must deliver, or cause to be delivered, their ADSs and other required documents to the exchange agent before the Expiration Date.
