Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

In connection with our issuance on June 22, 2004 of $400 million of senior notes, consisting of $300 million of senior unsecured notes, which bear interest at 11.5% and mature on July 15, 2012 (the "Fixed Rate Notes"), and $100 million of senior unsecured floating rate notes, which bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 7.25% and mature on July 15, 2011, we and the guarantors of the notes entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the notes. Under the terms of the agreement, we were required to file a registration statement relating to an exchange offer for the notes on or before November 19, 2004 (the "Filing Date"). Because we did not file the registration statement by the Filing Date, we were required to pay additional interest on the notes at a rate of 0.25% per year for the first 90 day period following the Filing Date, and this rate increased to 0.50% per year for the second 90 day period following the Filing Date, beginning February 17, 2005. We expect to file the registration statement during the second quarter of 2005.

We have called $78 million (or 26%) of the Fixed Rate Notes for redemption on March 14, 2005 and $24 million (or 8%) of the Fixed Rate Notes for redemption on March 17, 2005. The conditions to these redemptions have been satisfied.
