The Company intends to use any remaining net proceeds of the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of debt.

The Notes will be the senior secured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed, on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by (i) as of the issue date of the Notes, each of the Company’s subsidiaries that is a borrower under or guarantees the obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) following the issue date, any of the Company’s existing or future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) that is a borrower under or guarantees the obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility or incurs or guarantees certain capital markets indebtedness (the “Guarantors”). 

Additionally, it is expected that the Notes and the related guarantees will be secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the Guarantors, in each case subject to certain exclusions and permitted liens, which collateral will also secure, on a pari passu basis, the New Revolving Credit Facility.
