CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In December 2006 and January 2007, the Company issued convertible notes totaling $115.0 million with a fixed interest rate of 3.75% due in 2026 (the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes were issued at par and require interest payments semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th of each year. The Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Convertible Notes have an effective interest rate of 6.03% after giving effect to the accounting treatment required by ASC Topic 470-20, "Debt with Conversion and Other Options." Holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase the Convertible Notes at par on December 15, 2016 and December 15, 2021. Through June 30, 2013, the Company had purchased $114.1 million in principal amount of its Convertible Notes, none of which were repurchased subsequent to December 31, 2011, and the remaining outstanding balance is $0.9 million.

As of December 31, 2011, all loan costs associated with the issuance have been expensed and there is no remaining net carrying amount of the equity component. The if-converted value of the Convertible Notes does not exceed their aggregate principal amount as of June 30, 2013 and there are no derivative transactions that were entered into in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes.
