As described in “Use of Proceeds,” some of the net proceeds of this offering may be used to refinance substantially all of our Canadian subsidiary’s C$235 million term credit facility due January 11, 2010. Because more than 10% of the proceeds of this offering, not including underwriting compensation, may be received by an affiliate of Scotia Capital in this offering, this offering is being conducted in compliance with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rule 5110(h). Pursuant to that rule, the appointment of a qualified independent underwriter is not necessary in connection with this offering, as the offering is of a class of securities rated Baa or better by Moody’s rating service or Bbb or better by Standard & Poor’s rating service or rated in a comparable category by another rating service acceptable to FINRA.
