SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS On November 21, 2006, we issued and sold $54,500,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due November 21, 2026. We are registering the notes and the shares of common stock that the selling security holders may acquire upon conversion of the notes in order to enable the selling security holders to sell, from time to time, the notes and shares of our common stock they acquire if they convert their notes. The table below supplements the table of selling security holders contained in the "Selling Security Holders" sections of the prospectus. Where the name of a selling security holder identified in the table below also appears in a table in the prospectus, the information set forth in the table below regarding that selling security holder supersedes the information set forth in the prospectus. Information regarding the selling security holders may change from time to time and any modified information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus supplement if and when necessary. Unless set forth below, to our knowledge, none of the selling security holders has, or within the past three years has had, any material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates. A selling security holder may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the selling security holder's securities under this prospectus supplement. Because the selling security holder is not obligated to sell the notes or shares of our common stock held by such selling security holder, we cannot estimate the number of shares of our common stock that a selling security holder will beneficially own after this offering.
