The change of control offer is being made pursuant to Parallel’s obligations under the indenture governing the Notes, which requires Parallel to make an offer to purchase the Notes following a “Change of Control” (as defined in the indenture). A “Change of Control” occurred on October 23, 2009 as a result of the purchase of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Parallel, including the associated preferred stock purchase rights (collectively, the “Shares”) by PLLL Acquisition Co. and PLLL Holdings, LLC, entities formed for the purpose of acquiring Parallel and wholly owned subsidiaries of an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC, in connection with the tender offer for all of Parallel’s outstanding Shares.

As required by the indenture and the Notes, the purchase price with respect to each series of Notes is equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued interest payable. The payment date will be December 2, 2009.

The change of control offer will expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on December 1, 2009, unless extended. The terms and conditions of the change of control offer are set forth in Parallel’s Change of Control Notice and Offer to Purchase dated October 30, 2009 and the Letter of Transmittal related thereto.

Parallel has retained Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to act as Depositary and Laurel Hill Advisory Group to act as Information Agent in connection with the change of control offer.

This announcement does not constitute an offer to buy, or a solicitation of an offer to sell, the Notes. No recommendation is made by Parallel as to whether or not holders of the Notes should tender their Notes pursuant to the change of control offer. The change of control offer is being made only by means of the Change of Control Notice and Offer to Purchase.
