An advance ruling certificate was received from the Commissioner of Competition under the Competition Act (Canada) on November 23, 2007, which permits Acquisition Sub to proceed with the transaction under the Competition Act (Canada).

The description of the Notice of Extension is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Notice of Extension filed as Exhibit 7.10 to this Schedule 13D, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to replace the second sentence of paragraph (a) thereof with the following:
