(the “Company”) today announced that it commenced a cash tender offer for an aggregate principal amount of its 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (CUSIP No. 48238QAF2) (the “First Priority Notes”) and its 8¾% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 48238QAE5) (the “Second Priority Notes” and, together with the First Priority Notes, the “Notes”) such that the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased in the tender offer, together with applicable premiums paid in connection with the tender offer but excluding accrued and unpaid interest, will be $73,500,000. The terms and conditions of the tender offer are described in an Offer to Purchase, dated November 12, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and a related Letter of Transmittal, which are being sent to holders of Notes.

Holders of Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes on or before 5 p.m., New York City time, on December 1, 2010, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”) in order to be eligible to receive the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration. Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date and on or before the Expiration Date (as defined below) will be eligible to receive only the applicable Late Tender Offer Consideration, which is equal to the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium, as set forth in the table above. In addition to the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the tender offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date on which the tender offer is settled, which currently is expected to be December 15, 2010.

The tender offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 14, 2010, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). As set forth in the Offer to Purchase, validly tendered Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time on or before 5 p.m., New York City time, on December 1, 2010, unless extended.

The consummation of the tender offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any and all conditions to the tender offer with respect to one or both of the First Priority Notes and the Second Priority Notes (each a “tranche” of Notes).

The aggregate principal amount of each tranche of Notes that is purchased in the tender offer will be based on the Acceptance Priority Level for such tranche as set forth in the table above and subject to proration and other terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
