On June 12, 2007, the Company issued $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Notes under the 2010 Indenture and $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Notes under the 2014 Indenture.  The Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR plus 2.75%, which is payable in cash quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing on September 15, 2007.  The 2010 Notes will mature on June 15, 2010 and the 2014 Notes will mature on June 15, 2014.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated unsecured debt.  The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by substantially all of the Company’s domestic restricted subsidiaries.

Following a change of control, as defined in the Indentures, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or any portion of the Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

The Indentures include certain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things:

2




·                  incur additional debt, make investments and other restricted payments, pay dividends on capital stock, or redeem or repurchase capital stock or subordinated obligations;

·                  create specified liens;

·                  sell assets;

·                  create or permit restrictions on the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to it;

·                  engage in transactions with affiliates; and

·                  consolidate or merge with or into other companies or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The restrictive covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indentures.

The Indentures provide for customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, certain payment defaults at final maturity or acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company or certain of its subsidiaries and certain instances in which a guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, subject to certain exceptions, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2010 Notes or 2014 Notes, as applicable, may declare all the 2010 Notes or 2014 Notes, respectively, to be due and payable immediately, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the acceleration date.
