WHEREAS, BOE Intermediate Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 2, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), with BOE Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer (“Merger Sub”), the Company and Madison Dearborn Capital Partners VI-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership solely in its capacity as representative set forth therein, pursuant to which the Buyer has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, pursuant to a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer, and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BOE Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, the Company has: (i) offered to purchase for cash any and all of the outstanding Notes and (ii) solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) to amend the Indenture to allow for, among other things, the elimination of most of the restrictive covenants and certain of the events of default contained in the Indenture and permission for a notice of redemption to Holders whose Notes are to be redeemed to be provided at least 3 days before a redemption date (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated October 16, 2012 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Statement”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, together with the Statement, the “Offer”);
