We currently have sufficient resources to retire the remaining '06 convertible notes at maturity and based on current forecasts we believe we will have sufficient liquidity available to satisfy the $146 million of 5% convertible notes due March 2007. As previously announced, during the first quarter of 2006 we purchased in the open market $30 million face value of our outstanding $471 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Senior notes due February 2008.
