This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as described in this prospectus under “Description of the Notes—Conversion Rate Adjustments.” As a result, the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase or decrease in the future.

Information concerning the selling securityholders may change from time to time and any changed information will be set forth in additional supplements to the prospectus if and when necessary. In addition, the conversion rate, and, therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes under certain circumstances, is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.

Based upon information provided by the selling securityholders, none of the selling securityholders nor any of their affiliates, officers, directors or principal equity holders has held any position or office or has had any material relationship with us within the past three years, with the exception of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, which acted as an initial purchaser in the original issuance of the notes on December 15, 2006 and which, along with its affiliates, has provided from time to time, and may in the future provide, investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory and other services to us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of its and our business. Further, Morgan Stanley Bank (Utah), an affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, is a lender under one of our credit facilities.

To the extent any of the selling securityholders listed above are broker-dealers, they may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to the securities they sell pursuant to this prospectus.

With respect to the selling securityholders listed above that are affiliates of broker-dealers, we believe that such entities acquired their notes and underlying common stock in the ordinary course of business and, at the time of the purchase of the notes and the underlying common stock, such selling securityholders had no agreements or undertakings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the notes or underlying common stock.

None of the selling securityholders listed above owned 1% or more of our outstanding common stock either before or after this offering.

Investing in these securities involves 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 adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus supplement or the prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
