Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-163788)
Filed on December 17, 2009
Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company hereby requests
withdrawal of the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-163788) (the
Registration Statement). The Registration Statement was filed to register the resale of the
Companys 5.0% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the Notes) issued in October 2009 and shares of
the Companys common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes. The Companys obligation to
maintain a registration statement covering the Notes and the underlying common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes lapsed on October 15, 2010. Accordingly, the registration of the Notes and
the underlying shares of common stock is no longer needed. No securities were issued pursuant to
the registration statement.
Should you have any questions concerning the foregoing, please contact the undersigned at
(267) 803-3803 or Joe C. Sorenson of DLA Piper LLP (US), the Companys legal counsel at (703)
773-4130.
