  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT AND

     
ITEM 2.03
  CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT AND

     
ITEM 3.02
  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On December 21, 2004, we issued and sold an additional $15 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 in a private placement to Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., the initial purchaser, which may resell the notes to “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes were issued pursuant to the exercise in full by the initial purchaser of an option to purchase the additional notes. As previously reported, on December 6, 2004, we issued and sold $65 million of those notes to the initial purchaser for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A.

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $76.7 million from the offering of $80 million in aggregate principal amount of the notes, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount of $3 million and estimated offering expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds to support our operations and growth and for other general corporate purposes.

The offering of the notes was made pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement, dated December 1, 2004, by and between Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and us. The notes are issued under an Indenture by and between The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. and us and benefit from a Registration Rights Agreement by and between Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., as the initial purchaser, and us.

The material terms and conditions of the Indenture, the notes, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Purchase Agreement were described in our Form 8-K current report filed on December 7, 2004, and the agreements relating to the offering and a description of our capital stock were filed as exhibits to that report.
