Changes from Preliminary Prospectus:
In addition to the pricing information set forth above, the Preliminary Prospectus will be updated to reflect the increase in the size of the offering. Consequently, (i) the first paragraph under the heading “Use of Proceeds” is deemed deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and fees and expenses related to the offering, are expected to be approximately $293.5 million. We will use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering and the Convertible Notes Offering to redeem the remaining $67 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.5% Senior Notes due 2013, and the remainder of the net proceeds from this offering and the Convertible Notes Offering to redeem approximately $381 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.625% Senior Notes due 2013. Neither the completion of this offering of Notes nor the Convertible Notes Offering is contingent on the completion of the other offering. If the Convertible Notes Offering is not completed, the aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2013 redeemed will be approximately $216 million. In the event that the Convertible Notes Offering is completed and the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes in full, then the aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2013 redeemed will be approximately $405 million.
