(1) Information regarding the selling securityholders may change from time to time. Any such changed information will be set forth in additional supplements to the Prospectus if required.
(2) Assumes for each $1,000 in principal amount of Notes a maximum of 83.2293 shares of common stock could be received upon conversion. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described under “Description of the Notes—Conversion Rights.” As a result, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes may increase or decrease in the future. Excludes shares of common stock that may be issued by us upon the conversion of the Notes as described under “Description of the Notes—Payment upon Conversion—Make-Whole Amount and Adjustments for Conversion After a Public Acquirer Change of Control.” In addition, excludes fractional shares. Holders will receive a cash adjustment for any fractional share amount resulting from the conversion of the Notes, as described under “Description of the Notes—Payment upon Conversion.”
(3) Calculated based on 178,649,137 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 28, 2007. In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that holder’s Notes, but we did not assume conversion of any other holder’s Notes.
(4) Assumes that any other holders of Notes or any future transferees, pledgees, donees or successors of or from any such other holders of the Notes do not beneficially own any common stock other than common stock into which the Notes are convertible at the initial conversion rate of 83.2293 shares per $1,000 of principal amount of Notes.
The date of this prospectus supplement no. 4 is February 1, 2008.
