text: On February 16, 2005, we commenced an oÅer to the holders of our 71/8% unsecured notes due 2009 to 
  exchange up to $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes for a like principal amount of new 
  notes due 2035. This oÅering is conditioned upon receiving valid tenders of at least $175.0 million of the 
  aggregate principal of existing notes. These new notes will bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of: (a) the 
  bid side yield on the 5.375% U.S. Treasury Note due February 15, 2031, calculated on the second business day 
  prior to the expiration date of our exchange oÅering, and (b) 130 basis points. The total exchange price for the 
  old notes is intended to result in a yield to maturity on the settlement date equal to the sum of: (a) the bid- 
  side yield on the 3.875% U.S. Treasury Note due May 15, 2009, calculated on the second business day prior to 
  the expiration date, and (b) 35 basis points. The exchange oÅering is expected to close March 16, 2005, unless 
  further extended by us. However, we cannot assure you that the conditions to the exchange oÅering will be 
  met and the transaction will be consummated.
