          In each case, the Company is seeking consents for a waiver of certain defaults and events of default, and the consequences thereof, that may have occurred or may occur under the indenture governing each series of notes (the “Indentures”) from the failure by the Company to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and deliver to the trustee and the holders of such series of notes any reports or other information, including its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, and the waiver of the application of certain provisions of the Indentures. The consent solicitation statements delivered to the applicable holders of each series of the notes and the related forms of letters of consent are furnished hereto as exhibits.

     Update Regarding SEC Investigation

          As previously disclosed, the Company is the subject of an SEC investigation concerning matters unrelated to its historical stock option practices. In July 2006, the Board of Directors established a special committee to review the Company’s historical stock option practices and informed the SEC of these efforts. The SEC has recently informed the Company that it is expanding the scope of its investigation and has requested that the Company provide documentation related to the Company’s historical stock option practices. The Company intends to continue to cooperate with the SEC.
