In connection with the Tender Offer, the Company is soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes that are subject to the Tender Offer to eliminate substantially all of the covenants and certain events of default and related provisions contained in the indenture.

The Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 28, 2007, unless extended (such date, as it may be extended, the “Consent Deadline”).  On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Consent Solicitation, if the Company receives the requisite consents and the supplemental indenture that contains the amendments is executed, the Company will pay, promptly following the Consent Deadline and the satisfaction of the other conditions contained in the Consent Solicitation, to each Holder who has validly delivered (and has not revoked) a valid consent on or prior to the Consent Deadline, $30.00 for each $1,000 in principal amount at maturity of Notes (the “Consent Payment”).

With respect to the Tender Offer, holders of Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Consent Deadline, if such notes are accepted for purchase, will receive the tender offer consideration plus the Consent Payment (the “Total Consideration”).  The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m, New York City time on July 13, 2007, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”).  Payment for Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Consent Deadline and accepted for purchase will be made promptly after the Consent Deadline.  Holders of Notes who validly tender after the Consent Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time, if such notes are accepted for purchase, will receive the Total Consideration less the Consent Payment.  Payment for Notes validly tendered after the Consent Deadline and on or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase will be made promptly after the Expiration Time.

The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase governing the Tender Offer. It is a condition to the consummation of the Tender Offer that the holders of at least a majority in accreted value of the Notes outstanding voting as a single class consent to the amendments to the indenture governing the Notes.  Additionally, the Tender Offer is subject to consummation of the Company’s anticipated initial

public offering.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from its initial public offering to purchase the Notes that are tendered in connection with the Tender Offer.
