We base our estimates on historical experience, applicable laws and regulations, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes</b> </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In December&#160;2004, we issued an aggregate of $125&#160;million of Notes maturing December&#160;1, 2024 in a private offering pursuant to Rule&#160;144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. In connection with issuing the Notes, we incurred debt issuance costs of $4.3 million, consisting primarily of the initial purchasers&#8217; discount and costs related to legal, accounting, and printing, which were amortized over five years. We used the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In fiscal 2009, we repurchased and retired $59.7&#160;million of our outstanding Notes at a discount from par of approximately 7%, which resulted in a $1.1&#160;million net loss on retirement of debt after deducting the associated unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs. In fiscal 2010, we repurchased and retired $63.0&#160;million par value of our Notes when investors exercised their rights to require us to repurchase their Notes. Accordingly, as of September&#160;30, 2010, $2.3 million par value of our Notes remained outstanding and have been classified as long-term as the next date Noteholders can require us to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes is beyond one year. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Interest expense includes the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs. We recorded $4,000 and $1.4&#160;million of interest expense on the Notes during the three-month periods ended September&#160;30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December&#160;31, 2009, the amortization of the discount and debt issuance costs was complete, and the if-converted value of the Notes did not exceed the principal amount of the Notes. </div> </div> <!--DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" --> <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note 9 - us-gaap:DisclosureOfCompensationRelatedCostsShareBasedPaymentsTextBlock--> <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-left: 0in; "> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><b>9.

margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of certain employee share-based compensatory awards, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Historical and implied volatilities were used in estimating the fair value of our share-based awards, while the expected life of our options and estimated forfeitures for share-based awards that are not expected to vest were estimated based on historical trends since our initial public offering. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. We charge the estimated fair value less estimated forfeitures to earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the underlying awards, which is generally four years for our stock options and deferred stock units and up to two years for our employee stock purchase plan. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options having no vesting restrictions and being fully transferable. As our stock option and employee stock purchase plan awards have characteristics that differ significantly from traded options and, as changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value, our estimate of fair value may not accurately represent the value assigned by a third party in an arms&#8217;-length transaction. While our estimate of fair value and the associated charge to earnings materially affects our results of operations, it has no impact on our cash position. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We recognize tax benefit upon expensing certain share-based awards associated with our share-based compensation plans, including nonqualified stock options and deferred stock units, but we cannot recognize tax benefit concurrent with the recognition of share-based compensation expenses associated with incentive stock options (qualified stock options) and employee stock purchase plan shares. For qualified stock options that vested after we began expensing share-based compensation, we recognize tax benefit only in the period when disqualifying dispositions of the underlying stock occur, which historically has been up to several years after vesting and in a period when our stock price substantially increases. For qualified stock options that vested prior to when we began expensing share-based compensation, we record the tax benefit directly to additional paid-in capital. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We determine excess tax benefit using the long-haul method in which we compare the actual tax benefit associated with the tax deduction from share-based award activity to the hypothetical tax benefit on the grant date fair values of the corresponding share-based awards. Tax benefit associated with excess tax deduction creditable to additional paid-in capital is not recognized until the deduction reduces taxes payable. During the three-month periods ended September&#160;30, 2010 and 2009, we did not recognize any tax benefit as additional paid-in capital. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Historically, we have issued new shares in connection with our share-based compensation plans; however, treasury shares were also available for issuance as of September&#160;30, 2010.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September&#160;30, 2010 was 17.2% and diverged from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because of foreign income taxed at lower tax rates and state research credits, partially offset by net unrecognized tax benefit associated with qualified stock options. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September&#160;30, 2009 was 24.9% and diverged from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily as a result of foreign income taxed at lower tax rates, the benefit of federal and state research tax credits, and the impact of tax-exempt interest income, partially offset by net unrecognized tax benefit associated with qualified stock options, the impairment of an investment for which a valuation allowance was established, and the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><i>Unrecognized Tax Benefits</i> </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The total liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits increased $924,000 during the quarter ended September&#160;30, 2010 to $19.9&#160;million from $19.0&#160;million at June&#160;30, 2010. The liability for gross unrecognized tax benefit, if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. The increase consisted of an addition of $924,000 for a current year tax position. The total interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as of the end of fiscal 2010 was $1.2&#160;million. The liability for gross interest expense and penalties increased by $153,000 to $1.4&#160;million for the quarter ended September&#160;30, 2010.
