The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Company to purchase for cash any and all of the Company’s 5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”) validly tendered and accepted, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 30, 2008 and in the related Letter of Transmittal.

On August 19, 2008, by way of a letter to all holders of Notes, we clarified that we are offering to pay $1,000 in cash plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the payment date for each $1,000 principal amount of notes (prorated for any Notes accepted reflecting a principal amount of less than $1,000 or more than an integral multiple of $1,000).
 
The third paragraph on the cover of the Letter of Transmittal and Instruction 4 on page 8 of the Letter of Transmittal is amended by deleting in its entirety the following sentence:
 
Tenders of Notes will be accepted only in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount.
