Use of Proceeds:      We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering and the term loan to redeem our 7.5% senior subordinated notes due 2015. We intend to send a 15-day conditional redemption notice to the holders of such notes and terminated the tender offer for such notes. The redemption price for the 7.5% notes would be equal to 103.750% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption is conditioned upon the closing and receipt of sufficient net proceeds from the offering and term loan to redeem the notes. We also expect to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering, if any, for general corporate purposes, including funding our development projects.

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering (after deducting discounts to the underwriters and estimated expenses of the offering) will be approximately $318.5 million.

At the year ended December 31, 2011, on an as adjusted basis to give effect to this offering and the application of the estimated net proceeds, including the repurchase of our 7.5% notes pursuant to the tender offer, we had a total capitalization of $1,877 million, total long-term debt of $1,371 million, including $325 million of indebtedness associated with our new senior subordinated notes and cash and cash equivalents of $204 million. This information supplements the information contained in the capitalization table under the column heading “As adjusted” on pages S-43 and S-44 of the preliminary prospectus supplement.
