Rights to withdraw tendered Notes and revoke the delivered consents terminated at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 9, 2008.

The exchange offer and consent solicitation are made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent. The exchange offer and consent solicitation are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the general conditions as set forth in the Offering Memorandum.

In any jurisdiction in which the exchange offer or consent solicitation are required to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, they shall be deemed to be made by the Dealer Managers on behalf of Interface.

The replacement notes issued in exchange for the Notes in the exchange offer will not be initially registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements, and will therefore be subject to substantial restrictions on transfer.
