Calculation of Filing Fee

 

Transaction Value(1)	Amount of Filing Fee(2)
$511,409,101.50	$59,375.00

(1)

Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation assumes the purchase of 92,613,473 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at $5.50 per share. The transaction value also includes the aggregate offer price for 370,000 shares of common stock estimated to be issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than $5.50 per share, which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding options by an amount equal to $5.50 minus the weighted average exercise price of such options.

 

(2)	The amount of the filing fee is calculated in accordance with Fee Rate Advisory #5 for Fiscal Year 2011 issued by the SEC, effective December 27, 2010, by multiplying the Transaction Value by 0.00011610.

 

þ	Check the box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Rule 0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing.

Filing Party:	Colonel Holdings, Inc., Colonel UK Holdings Limited, Colonel Offeror Sub, LLC, Colonel Merger Sub, Inc. and Apollo Management VII, L.P.
