Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
     On January 16, 2006, the Registrant provided irrevocable notice to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), that it will redeem all $380,000,000 outstanding principal amount of its 10-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the optional redemption provision of the Indenture dated as of February 2, 2001, as subsequently amended, among the Registrant, as issuer, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. The Notes will be redeemed on February 15, 2006 at a redemption price of 105.375% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The redemption will be funded through borrowings under the Registrant’s senior secured credit facilities. The redemption will result in a one-time charge for loss on early retirement of debt of approximately $26,200,000 on a pre-tax basis.
