A copy of the Credit Agreement Amendment and Consent, Agreement and Affirmation of Guaranty are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference as though they were fully set forth herein.

On April 27, 2009, the Company (and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc., for themselves and acting as representatives of the several underwriters identified therein (collectively, the "Underwriters"), providing for the offer and sale by the Company of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "Offering").

The notes are being issued and sold pursuant to Company's automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-158801) (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities


and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") on April 27, 2009.
