with certain of the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries, as
guarantors (the Guarantors), and Credit Suisse Securities (USA)
LLC, as representative of the several initial purchasers named
therein (collectively, the Initial Purchasers), to which, on
March15, 2017, we issued and sold to the Initial Purchasers (the
Offering) $325million in aggregate principal amount of the
Companys 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the Notes), for
resale to qualified institutional buyers to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and to
non-U.S. persons
outside the United States to Regulation S of the Securities
Act.

The Notes were
issued under an indenture (the Indenture) entered into on
March15, 2017 by and among the Company, the Guarantors and
Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the Trustee).
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior
unsecured basis by our existing subsidiaries that guarantee our
revolving credit facility. Interest on the Notes accrues at a
rate of 6.375% per annum and is payable in cash semi-annually on
March15 and September15 of each year, commencing on September15,
2017. The Notes will mature on March15, 2025.

Prior to March15,
2020, we may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time
at a price equal to 50% of the principal amount of the Notes
redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including,
the redemption date and a make-whole premium. Additionally, from
time to time before March15, 2020, we may choose to redeem up to

price equal to 106.375% of the face amount thereof plus accrued
and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date,
with the net cash proceeds that we raise in one or more equity
offerings. On or after March15, 2020, we may redeem the Notes, in
