The Notes are available for conversion under the terms of the Indenture during the period to and including April 15, 2008. The full text of the Press Release issued on January 15, 2008 is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
The information included herein, including Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any filing pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any incorporation by reference language in any such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
