The notes will mature on January 15, 2015. We will pay interest on the notes on January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2010. The notes will bear interest at a rate equal to 9.250% per annum. We may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price based on a ‘‘make-whole’’ premium. Until January 15, 2013, we may redeem up to 35% of the notes with the net proceeds of qualified equity offerings (as defined under ‘‘Description of the Notes’’). If we undergo a change of control or sell certain of our assets, we may be required to offer to purchase notes from holders. The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured senior indebtedness, except for our obligations that are preferred by statute, and senior to all of our subordinated indebtedness. The notes will be unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our existing and future wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. The guarantees will be the senior unsecured obligations of the guarantors and will rank equally with all of the guarantors’ other senior unsecured indebtedness, except for their obligations that are preferred by statute, and senior to all of the guarantors’ subordinated indebtedness. The notes and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ secured indebtedness, and the notes and the guarantees will also be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors. We have applied to list the notes on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trade on the Euro MTF Market. However, we cannot assure you that the listing application will be approved.
