(the "Issuer"), has commenced an offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") up to $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021, and related guarantees, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "2021 New Notes"), for an equal aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021, and related guarantees, which were issued in a private placement (the "2021 Old Private Notes") and up to $2,200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.000% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022, and related guarantees, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "2022 New  Notes" and together with the 2021 New Notes, the "New Notes"), for an equal aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 10.000% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022, and related guarantees, which were issued in a private placement (the "2022 Old Private Notes" and together with the 2021 Old Private Notes, the "Old Private Notes").

The 2021 Old Private Notes and the 2021 New Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by the Company's domestic, wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than the Issuer).

The 2021 Old Private Notes were issued under an indenture dated June 4, 2014, and the 2021 New Notes will be issued under the same indenture. The 2022 Old Private Notes were issued under an indenture dated November 21, 2014, and the 2022 New Notes will be issued under the same indenture.

The terms of each series of New Notes are substantially identical to the applicable series of Old Private Notes, except that the New Notes, subject to specified conditions, will be freely transferable.
