Distribution Conditions and Termination

It is expected that the distribution will be effective at 11:59 p.m., New York city time, on the distribution date, which we expect will be November 13, 2007. However, the New APP LLC asset contribution, the New APP distribution, the cash contribution and the distribution are subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the separation and distribution agreement. These conditions include, among other things:

 

   

the registration statement on Form 10 under the Exchange Act filed by us shall have been declared effective and no stop order relating to the registration statement shall be in effect;

 

   

no applicable laws shall have been adopted, promulgated or enforced by any governmental entity, and no injunction shall be in effect, having the effect of making the distribution or any material provision of the separation and distribution agreement illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the distribution or the performance of any material provision of the separation and distribution agreement;

 

   

our common stock to be delivered in the distribution shall have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market;

 

   

all actions and filings with regard to state securities and “blue sky” laws of the United States (any comparable laws under any foreign jurisdictions) shall have been taken and, where applicable, have become effective or been accepted;
