       In 2007, an aggregate of $85.3&amp;#160;million of the 2014 Notes
       were sold in a private placement to qualified institutional
       buyers. Proceeds from the offering, after deducting placement
       agent fees and our estimated expenses, were approximately
       $82.3&amp;#160;million. The 2014 Notes were issued at face principal
       amount and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and
       December 15 of each year. Record dates for payment of interest
       on the 2014 Notes are each June&amp;#160;1st&amp;#160;and
       December&amp;#160;1st. In certain circumstances, additional amounts
       may become due as additional interest. We can elect that the
       sole remedy for an event of default for our failure to comply
       with the &amp;#8220;reporting obligations&amp;#8221; provisions of the
       indenture under which the 2014 Notes were issued (the
       &amp;#8220;Indenture&amp;#8221;), for the first 180&amp;#160;days after the
       occurrence of such event of default would be for the holders of
       the 2014 Notes to receive additional interest on the 2014 Notes
       at an annual rate equal to 1% of the outstanding principal
       amount of the 2014 Notes. We recorded interest expense,
       including the amortization of debt issuance costs related to the
       2014 Notes, of $3.9&amp;#160;million, $2.9&amp;#160;million and
       $4.5&amp;#160;million during 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
   &lt;/div&gt;

       The 2014 Notes are convertible into our common stock, initially
       at the conversion price of $10.28 per share, equal to a
       conversion rate of approximately 97.2644&amp;#160;shares per $1,000
       principal amount of the 2014 Notes, subject to adjustment. There
       may be an increase in the conversion rate of the 2014 Notes
       under certain circumstances described in the Indenture; however,
       the number of shares of common stock issued will not exceed
       114.2857 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2014 Notes, or
       approximately 3.2&amp;#160;million shares. A holder that converts
       2014 Notes in connection with a &amp;#8220;fundamental change,&amp;#8221;
       as defined in the Indenture, may in some circumstances be
       entitled to an increased conversion rate (i.e., a lower per
       share conversion price) as a make whole premium. If a
       fundamental change occurs, holders of the 2014 Notes may require
       us to repurchase all or a portion of their 2014 Notes for cash
       at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
       the 2014 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid
       interest and other amounts due thereon. The Indenture contains
       customary covenants.
   &lt;/div&gt;

       In April 2009, $11.5&amp;#160;million in principal amount of the
       2014 Notes were converted by holders of the 2014 Notes,
       resulting in the issuance of approximately 1.1&amp;#160;million
       shares of common stock. In May 2009, we exchanged approximately
       2.1&amp;#160;million shares of our common stock for
       $21.2&amp;#160;million principal face amount of the 2014 Notes. In
       December 2010, we exchanged approximately 2.5&amp;#160;million
       shares of common stock for $24.9&amp;#160;million principal face
       amount of the 2014 Notes, which included a premium of
       approximately 129,000&amp;#160;shares of common stock. The premium
       is recorded as a loss on debt conversion of $4.7&amp;#160;million,
       in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations
       for 2010.
   &lt;/div&gt;

       We have identified embedded derivatives associated with the 2014
       Notes. These embedded derivatives meet certain criteria and are
       therefore not required to be accounted for separately from the
       2014 Notes.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;

       As of December&amp;#160;31, 2010 and 2009, the aggregate principal
       amount of the 2014 Notes outstanding was $27.7&amp;#160;million and
       $52.5&amp;#160;million, respectively. The fair value of the 2014
       Notes at December&amp;#160;31, 2010 and December&amp;#160;31, 2009,
       based on the average trading prices of similar instruments near
       each respective year-end, was approximately $98.0&amp;#160;million
       and $141.8&amp;#160;million, respectively.
   &lt;/div&gt;
