On June 28, 2007, the Company announced that it had executed a Purchase Agreement and completed the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities by AHM Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a newly-formed statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. All of the Trust Common Securities (in an aggregate principal amount of $3,866,000) are owned by the Company. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the "Trust Agreement") is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust securities to purchase 9.75% junior subordinated convertible debentures, due July 1, 2037, in the principal amount of $128,866,000 issued by the Company (the "Debentures"), the payments on which will be used to satisfy the Trust's obligations on the trust securities. The Debentures were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated June 28, 2007 among the Company and Wilmington Trust Company as Debenture Trustee. A copy of the Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The conversion price may be reset on certain dates and upon the occurrence of certain events, all as set forth in the Indenture and Trust Agreement. The Company has agreed to file a Registration Statement with respect to the common stock underlying the Trust Preferred Securities within 90 days following the closing date pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated June 28, 2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
