8. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

Long-Term Debt

On March 2, 2007, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated notes ("2007 Convertible Notes"). The offering contained two tranches. The first tranche consisted of $100.0 million of 1.25% convertible subordinated notes due March 2010 (the "1.25% Notes") which have been retired. The second tranche consisted of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible subordinated notes due March 2012 (the "1.50% Notes"). As of July 1, 2011, $26.7 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.50% Notes remained outstanding. The Company pays interest in cash semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year on the 1.50% Notes. The conversion price of the 1.50% Notes is 105.0696 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes to be redeemed, which is the equivalent of a conversion price of approximately $9.52 per share plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the conversion date. Holders of the remaining $26.7 million aggregate principal balance of the 1.50% Notes may require the Company to repurchase the 1.50% Notes upon a change in control of the Company.

Holders may convert the 1.50% Notes at any time on or prior to the close of business on the final maturity date. If a holder of a 1.50% Note elects to convert such Notes at maturity, the Company may continue to choose to deliver to the holder either cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock to settle the conversion. This cash settlement provision permits the application of the treasury stock method in determining potential share dilution of the conversion spread should the share price of the Company's common stock exceed $9.52. It has been the Company's historical practice to cash settle the principal and interest components of convertible debt instruments, and it is the Company's intention to continue to do so in the future, including with respect to the 1.50% Notes.

As of July 1, 2011, the $25.7 million carrying value of the 1.50% Notes was deemed a current liability and accordingly was classified as short-term debt. Long-term debt consists of convertible notes with a carrying value of $24.7 million as of October 1, 2010. As of July 1, 2011, based on a stock price of $23.44, the actual "if converted" value of the remaining 1.50% Notes was $65.7 million which exceeds the related principal amount by approximately $39.0 million.

On October 3, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 470-20 — Debt, Debt with Conversions and Other Options ("ASC 470-20"). ASC 470-20 applies to the Company's 2007 Convertible Notes. Using a non-convertible borrowing rate of 6.86%, the Company estimated the fair value of the liability component of the $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 1.50% Notes to be $77.3 million on October 3, 2009. As of the issuance date, the difference between the fair value of the liability component of the 1.50% Notes and the corresponding aggregate principal amount of such notes, which is equal to the fair value of the equity component of the 1.50% Notes ($22.7 million), was retrospectively recorded as a debt discount and as an increase to additional paid-in capital, net of tax. The discount of the liability component of the 1.50% Notes is being amortized over the remaining life of the instrument.
