Since inception of our share repurchase program in June 1998 and through September 30, 2007, we had<br />
acquired and placed in treasury a total of 18,198,082 shares of our common stock at a cost of $639.6 million. Our<br />
program was suspended upon the announcement in April 2007 of our proposed merger with a company formed<br />
by investment funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), GS Capital Partners VI Fund,<br />
L.P. and its related funds, which are sponsored by Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“GSCP”). On October 22, 2007, we<br />
announced the termination of our agreement with KKR and GSCP and companies formed by investment funds<br />
affiliated with KKR and GSCP. In connection with the termination agreement, we entered into a note purchase<br />
agreement under which we sold $400 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.25 percent Convertible Notes<br />
due 2012 (the “Notes”) to affiliates of KKR, GSCP, Citibank, N.A. and HSBC USA, Inc. On October 30, 2007,<br />
we used the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes to repurchase 4,775,549 shares of our Company’s<br />
common stock at a cost of $400.3 million. We received an additional 2,449,230 shares upon settlement of the<br />
October 2007 repurchase. The total number of shares purchased and retired as a result of the October 2007<br />
repurchase was 7,224,779. The total number of shares repurchased through June 30, 2009 was 25,599,817.<br />
