Net Interest Expense

The primary component of our net interest expense is the interest we incur on our long-term debt instruments, including $900 million principal balance of our 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes and €240 million ($304 million based on the exchange rate at September 30, 2006) of our 6.875% PEACS at September 30, 2006. Interest expense was $21 million and $22 million in Q3 2006 and Q3 2005, and $58 million and $70 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, with declines primarily relating to principal repayments of our long-term debt.

At September 30, 2006, our total long-term debt was $1.3 billion compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2005. See Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements — Note 3 — Long-Term Debt and Other.”

We generally invest our excess cash in investment grade short- to intermediate-term fixed income securities and AAA-rated money market mutual funds. Our interest income corresponds with the average balance of invested funds and the prevailing rates we are earning on them, which vary depending on the geographies in which they are invested.
