The Underwriting Agreement contains other terms and conditions that are generally customary for transactions of this nature. The transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement are expected to close on August 19, 2009. The net proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before estimated offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $62.0 million (or approximately $71.2 million if the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full).
