Use of Proceeds: The Issuer estimates that the net proceeds of the Convertible Senior Notes Offering will be approximately $169.1 million (or approximately $193.4 million if the underwriters exercise in full their over-allotment option to purchase additional Convertible Senior Notes), after payment of the underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses to be paid by the Issuer.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds of the Convertible Senior Notes Offering to:

• repay all of the approximately $87.5 million outstanding under the Issuer’s $87.5 million term loan under the Issuer’s senior secured credit facility, plus accrued interest; and

If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to $25 million aggregate principal amount of additional Convertible Senior Notes, the Issuer intends to use the net proceeds to pay down additional outstanding balance under the Issuer’s $400 million revolving line of credit and for general corporate purposes.

Commissions and Discounts: The underwriters initially propose to offer part of the Convertible Senior Notes directly to the public at the Public Offering Price and part to certain dealers at a price that represents a concession not in excess of 1.8% of the principal amount under the Public Offering Price.
