The gross proceeds from the sale, which are expected to be $182.2 million (after original issue discount), will be used to refinance existing indebtedness, including to fund the redemption of the Company’s outstanding 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2008 (which currently bear additional PIK interest of 2% for a total of 14% per annum) and Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2008 (collectively, the “Existing Notes”), to buyout certain vehicle operating leases, for general corporate purposes and to pay related transaction fees and expenses.  The closing of the sale, which is subject to customary conditions, is scheduled for May 15, 2007.

The notes are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A, to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S and to a limited number of institutional “accredited” investors within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws, and until so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This announcement does not constitute a notice of redemption of the Existing Notes.  Any official announcement of redemption will be made in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Existing Notes.

This press release is not an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. Any offers of the securities will be made only by means of a confidential offering circular.
