Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-148150)
Filed on December 19, 2007
Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement |
Dear Mr. Eckstein:
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-1 (File No. 333-148150) (the
Registration Statement). The Registration Statement was filed to register the Companys 21/2%
convertible senior subordinated notes due 2010 (the Notes) issued in October 2006 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 12, 2008. 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
(408) 542-4102 or Joe C. Sorenson of DLA Piper LLP (US), the Companys legal counsel at (703)
773-4130.
