by certain selling securityholders of our 4.625% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2026 and shares of
our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.
This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with and accompanied by the
prospectus and is qualified by reference to the prospectus, except to the extent that the
information in this prospectus supplement supersedes the information contained in the prospectus.
The information appearing in the table below, which is based on information provided by or on
behalf of the named selling securityholders, supplements and amends the information in the table
appearing under the heading Selling Securityholders in the prospectus. The percentage of notes
outstanding beneficially owned by each selling securityholder is based on $300,000,000 aggregate
initial principal amount of notes outstanding. The number of shares of common stock owned prior to
the offering excludes shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes. The number of
shares of common stock offered hereby is based on the initial conversion rate equivalent to 47.6667
shares of common stock per $1,000 initial principal amount of notes and a cash payment in lieu of
any fractional share.

(1) We believe any excess of the total amount of registered sales by selling securityholders is
the result of (i) sales by selling securityholders who previously registered their securities in
unregistered exempt transactions and the subsequent registration by the purchasers thereof, or (ii)
registration by selling securityholders who had acquired their securities in a previously
registered transaction.
Investing in the notes and the underlying shares of common stock involves significant
risks. See Risk Factors beginning on page 6 of the prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has
approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this
