Item 8.01.
Other Events.
 
As previously disclosed, on September 10, 2007 the Company filed an Amended Complaint For Declaratory Judgment And Injunctive Relief in an action pending in the United States District Court in Atlanta, Georgia against the trustees under the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding senior and convertible senior notes (the “Action”). The Company seeks, among other relief, a declaration from the court against the trustees that the delay in filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007 does not constitute a default under the applicable indentures and that the delay will not give rise to any right of acceleration on the part of the holders of the senior and convertible senior notes.

On September 13, 2007, the Company filed a Motion for a Preliminary Injunction in the Action (the “Motion”). The Motion seeks a preliminary injunction from the court that: (1) orders the trustees to withdraw the purported Notices of Default received by the Company from the trustees under the applicable indentures or, in the alternative, tolls the running of the 60-day cure periods under the applicable indentures; and (2) enjoins the trustees from taking any steps in furtherance of accelerating any amounts due under the indentures by reason of any delay by the Company in delivering to the trustees copies of SEC filings, pending full adjudication of the Action.

These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this Form 8-K will not be achieved.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things, the timing and final outcome of the Action and the Motion; and the timing, final outcome and consequences of the pending governmental investigations, independent internal investigation and putative class action lawsuits, derivative claims and similar proceedings.
 
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
