| during the five business days after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of that measurement period is less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Issuers common stock and the then applicable conversion rate of the notes; | |||

Ranking:
|
The notes will be general, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future senior debt of the Issuer, to the extent of the assets securing such debt, and are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Issuers subsidiaries, including trade payables. The notes will be pari passu in right of payment with the Issuers 67/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 and its 13/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2033. | |||
Use of proceeds: |
The Issuer estimates that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $170.6 million, or approximately $196.2 million if the underwriters exercise their option in full to purchase additional notes, in each case, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to prepay a portion of the term loans outstanding under its bank credit agreement. | |||

| if the stock price is between two stock prices in the table above or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table above, the number of make-whole shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of make-whole shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and/or the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; |
| if the stock price is in excess of $180.00 per share of common stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the table above), no make-whole shares will be added to the conversion rate; and |
| if the stock price is less than $31.33 per share of common stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the table above), no make-whole shares will be added to the conversion rate. |
Recent developments: | On November 28, 2006, the French government initiated an investigation of the Issuers French subsidiary in connection with its activities under the Oil for Food Program. It is not possible to predict the outcome of this investigation (or related inquiries by the Danish government and the SEC) or their impact, if any, on the Issuer. For further information, see Risk Factors in the preliminary prospectus supplement. |
