Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On December 21, 2006, the Registrant announced in the press release, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, that it successfully completed its previously announced consent solicitation from the holders of record as of December 11, 2006, of the $200 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of its 6 1/4% Notes due March 15, 2009 (the "Notes"), issued under the Indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of March 8, 1999, among the Registrant, as issuer, and Citibank, N.A., a national banking association, as Trustee. The Registrant was requesting a one-time waiver (the "Waiver") of any default or event of default that has arisen or may arise under the Indenture by virtue of the Registrant's failure to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and furnish to the Trustee and holders of the Notes, certain reports required to be so filed and furnished by the Registrant under the Indenture.

 

Approval of the Waiver effectively extends the existing 30-day cure period in the Indenture by 60 days with respect to the reporting requirements in the Indenture, which is consistent with the cure period for the analogous reporting requirements under the indentures that govern the Registrant's three other outstanding series of notes and similar to the cure period provided in the waiver of default granted on November 17, 2006 by the Registrant's lenders under its $1 billion credit agreement for failure to comply with the reporting covenant in the credit agreement.

 

Each holder of record as of December 11, 2006, who validly delivered a consent and did not revoke such consent, will receive a payment of $1.25 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes to which such consent related. If the Registrant has not filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2006 with the SEC on or before 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on January 5, 2007, the Registrant will pay on the following business day, or as promptly as practicable thereafter, to each holder of record as of December 11, 2006, who validly delivered a consent and did not revoke such consent, an additional $1.25 for each $1,000 in principal amount of Notes.
