2. SECURITIES ACT EXEMPTION APPLICABLE.
In exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of our outstanding 2 1/2%
Contingent Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Old Notes") that is
validly tendered and accepted for exchange upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange dated July 17, 2006 (the "Offer to
Exchange") and in the related letter of transmittal, the Company is offering (i)
$1,000 principal amount of its 2 1/2% Contingent Convertible Subordinated Notes
due 2008 (the "New Notes") and (ii) a one time cash payment (an "Exchange Fee")
equal to $2.50. The exchange of Old Notes for New Notes and the payment of the
Exchange Fee is referred to herein as the "Exchange Offer." If the Exchange
Offer is completed, the New Notes will be issued under the indenture (the
"Indenture") to be qualified under this Application for Qualification of
Indenture on Form T-3 (the "Application"). As the New Notes (and the Exchange
Fee) are proposed to be offered for exchange by the Company with its existing
noteholders exclusively and solely for outstanding Old Notes of the Company, the
transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(a)(9)
thereof and Rule 150 promulgated thereby. No sales of securities of the same
class as the New Notes have been or are to be made by the Company or by or
through an underwriter at or about the same time as the Exchange Offer for which
the exemption is claimed. No commission or other remuneration has been paid by
the Company, directly or indirectly, for soliciting exchanges pursuant to the
Exchange Offer, and no consideration has been, or is to be given, directly or
indirectly, by the Company to any person in connection with the transaction,
except for (i) the customary payments to be made in respect of preparation,
printing, and mailing of the Offer to Exchange and related documents, (ii) the
engagement of Georgeson Inc. as Information Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A as
Exchange Agent, and (iii) the payment of the Exchange Fee. No holder of the
outstanding securities has made or will be requested to make any cash payment to
the Company in connection with the Exchange Offer.

(b) Voting rights of voting securities in (a).
COMMON STOCK. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share

cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect
all the directors standing for election.
PREFERRED STOCK. Holders of preferred stock are entitled to voting rights equal
to the number of shares of common stock into which the preferred stock is
convertible. Thus, if the preferred stock is convertible into one share of
common stock, upon conversion the holder is entitled to one vote for each share
held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. No preferred stock
is outstanding.
2 1/2% CONTINGENT CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2008. None.
INDENTURE SECURITIES
8. ANALYSIS OF INDENTURE PROVISIONS.
The New Notes will be issued under the Indenture to be dated as of the
consummation of the Exchange Offer and entered into between the Company and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The
following analysis is not a complete description of the Indenture provisions
discussed and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the
Indenture, a form of which is attached as Exhibit T3C hereto and incorporated by
reference herein. The Company has not entered into the Indenture as of the date
of this filing, and the terms of the Indenture are subject to change prior to
its execution. Capitalized terms used below but not defined herein have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, a form of which is attached as
Exhibit T3C hereto.
(a) Events of Default; Withholding of Notice
Each of the following constitutes an Event of Default:
(1) the Company defaults in the payment of any interest (including
contingent interest, if any), payable to all holders of Registrable Securities
on any Security when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues
for a period of 30 days, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the
provisions of Article 5 of the Indenture;
(2) the Company defaults in the payment of any principal of
(including, without limitation, any premium, if any, on) any Security when the
same becomes due and payable (whether at maturity, on a Change in Control
Purchase Date or otherwise), whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by
the provisions of Article 5 of the Indenture;
(3) the Company fails to comply with any of its other agreements
contained in the Securities or the Indenture and the default continues for the
period and after the notice specified below;
(4) the Company fails to provide a Change in Control Purchase Notice
when required by Section 3.02 of the Indenture;
(5) any indebtedness under any bond, debenture, note or other
evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary
(all or substantially all of the outstanding voting securities of which are
owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company) or under any mortgage, indenture
or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured
or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any
Subsidiary (all or substantially all of the
5
outstanding voting securities of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by the
Company) (an "Instrument") with a principal amount then outstanding in excess of
U.S. $5,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be
created, is not paid at final maturity of the Instrument (either at its stated
maturity or upon acceleration thereof), and such indebtedness is not discharged,
or such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, within a period of 30 days
after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the
Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities a
written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such
indebtedness to be discharged or cause such default to be cured or waived or
such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a
"Notice of Default" hereunder;
(6) the Company fails to issue Common Stock or pay the Daily Cash
Amounts or Net Share Amount upon conversion of Securities in accordance
with Article 4 of the Indenture;
(7) the Company or any Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning
of any Bankruptcy Law:
(A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding;
(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in
an involuntary case or proceeding;
(C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all
or substantially all of its property; or
(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
or
(8) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under
any Bankruptcy Law that:
(A) is for relief against the Company or any Subsidiary in an
involuntary case or proceeding;
(B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Subsidiary or for
all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; or
(C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Subsidiary;
and in each case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60
consecutive days.
The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11 of the United States Code (or
any successor thereto) or any similar federal or state law for the relief of
debtors. The term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator,
sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
A default under clause (3) above is not an Event of Default until the
Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the Company and the
Trustee, in writing of the default, and the Company does not cure the default
within 60 days after receipt of such notice. The notice given pursuant to
Section 8.01 of the Indenture must specify the default, demand that it be
remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice of Default." When any default
under Section 8.01 of the Indenture is cured, it ceases.
The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of
Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Trust Officer
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee by the Company, a Paying Agent, any
Holder or any agent of any Holder.
6
(b) Authentication and Delivery of New Notes; Use of Proceeds
An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or
facsimile signature attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Typographic and other minor
errors or defects in any such facsimile signature shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any Security which has been authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be
valid nevertheless.
A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated
under the Indenture.
The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery
Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$120,000,000 upon receipt of a written order or orders of the Company signed by
two Officers of the Company (a "Company Order"). The Company Order shall specify
the amount of Securities to be authenticated, shall provide that all such
Securities will be represented by a Restricted Global Security and the date on
which each original issue of Securities is to be authenticated. The aggregate
principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed
$120,000,000 except as provided in Section 2.07 of the Indenture.
The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter,
the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to
authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities
whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in the Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent shall have the same rights as an Agent to deal with the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company.
The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without
coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral
multiple thereof.
There will be no proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes because the
New Notes are being issued in exchange for the Old Notes.
(c) Release and Substitution of Property Subject to the Lien of the Indenture
The New Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. As such, the new
Notes are not secured by any lien on any property.
(d) Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture
The Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any
surviving rights of conversion, registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities herein expressly provided for and except as further provided below),
and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture,
when
(1) either
(A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered
(other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which
have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 of the Indenture and (ii)
Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and
thereafter repaid to the Company as provided in Section 10.03 of the Indenture)
have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable and the Company has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited
7
cash with the Trustee or a Paying Agent (other than the Company or any of its
Affiliates) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of and in an amount
sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and
interest (including contingent interest, if any) to the date of such deposit
(in the case of Securities which have become due and payable);
(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company; and
(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture
have been complied with.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 9.07 shall survive and,
if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of
clause (1) of Section 10.1 of the Indenture, the provisions of Sections 2.03,
2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.12, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 12.05,
Article 4, the last paragraph of Section 6.02 and Article 10, shall survive
until the Securities have been paid in full.
(e) Evidence Required to be Furnished by the Company to the Trustee as to
Compliance with the Conditions and Covenants Provided for in the Indenture
Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take
any action under the Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at the
request of the Trustee:
(1) an Officers' Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the
signers, all conditions precedent (including any covenants, compliance with
which constitutes a condition precedent), if any, provided for in the Indenture
relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and
(2) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, all such conditions precedent (including any covenants, compliance with
which constitutes a condition precedent) have been complied with.
Each Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel with respect to
compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in the Indenture shall
include:
(1) a statement that the person making such certificate or
opinion has read such covenant or condition;
(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in
such certificate or opinion are based;
(3) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he or she
has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her
to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition
has been complied with; and
(4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such
person, such condition or covenant has been complied with;
provided however, that with respect to matters of fact an Opinion of Counsel may
rely on an Officers' Certificate or certificates of public officials.
9. OTHER OBLIGORS.
There are no other obligors besides the Company upon the Notes.
