Other Information
As of September 30, 2009, after giving effect to this offering and the application of the net
proceeds therefrom as set forth under Use of Proceeds above, we and the subsidiary guarantors
would have had approximately $475.0 million in principal amount of senior indebtedness outstanding,
none of which would be secured, and we would have had approximately
$550.0 million in borrowing capacity under our bank credit facility, which, if borrowed, would be secured debt
effectively senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that
indebtedness.
Because more than 5% of the net proceeds of this offering will be received by certain of the
underwriters or their affiliates that are lenders under our bank credit facility, this offering is
being conducted in compliance with NASD Rule 2720(c). SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.
(SunTrust) has agreed to act as the qualified independent underwriter with respect to this
offering and has performed due diligence investigations and participated in the preparation of the
prospectus supplement. We have agreed to indemnify SunTrust in its capacity as qualified
independent underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act
of 1933.
