Jan-
as to #1) Yep - that's what it looks like - the total obligation is
$530 million in ten years

as to #2) the discount on the notes is amortized to expense each month/quarter - it works out to about 10.2 million per quarter , on an average basis. That is , 10.2 million of interest expense each quarter for the next five years. If they account for this using the "effective interest method" the amounts will be less in the early years , and more in later years, over the five year span. That's because the debt is growing as time goes by (no cash is being paid out)
