We expect the net proceeds from this offering of notes to be approximately $439 million after deducting the underwriting discount and our estimated expenses relating to the offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, along with borrowings under our revolving credit facility, (1) to fund tender offers for up to $500 million aggregate principal amount of our debt securities, including up to $300 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.125% Notes due 2017, up to $150 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.600% Notes due 2016 and up to $50 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.25% Notes due 2018 and (2) to pay premiums in connection with those tender offers. If there are any remaining proceeds from the notes, we intend to use those proceeds to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. Certain of the underwriters and/or their affiliates hold our 6.125% Notes due 2017, our 8.600% Notes due 2016 and/or our 7.25% Notes due 2018 and/or are lenders under our revolving credit facility, and, accordingly may receive a portion of the proceeds of this offering.
