October 2006

This term sheet is not intended to be, and shall not be construed as, a commitment by any party to enter into the transactions described below, nor as an offer to purchase or sell any security described herein. This term sheet has not been approved by the Creditors, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and does not set forth all material terms of a possible transaction, but is intended merely to facilitate settlement discussions. All terms of this proposed term sheet remain subject to change. No legally binding obligation of any party will arise unless and until definitive documentation is executed. This term sheet is provided as a settlement document in furtherance of settlement discussions. Accordingly, this term sheet is entitled to protection from disclosure or use in any evidentiary proceeding pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 or any other applicable rule of evidence. This term sheet does not constitute a solicitation of votes for a plan of reorganization.
