SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
The table of selling securityholders contained in the prospectus may contain more than the $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2023 and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures registered on the shelf registration statement. This may result from persons listed in the initial prospectus or subsequent prospectus supplements as selling security holders selling their convertible notes or shares of Class A common stock in private placement transactions instead of using the prospectus and shelf registration statement. This would result in the purchasers in the private placement transactions having to be listed as selling security holders in a prospectus supplement in substitution for the previously listed selling security holder. We may not always be able to determine who the seller in the private placement transactions (and previously listed selling security holder) was and thereby list the party as being substituted by the new selling security holder. In no event, however, will this prospectus and shelf registration statement be used to sell more than the $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2023 and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures.
The table of selling securityholders contained in the prospectus is hereby modified to add the following in substitution of the listing of Goldman Sachs in the prospectus dated August 2, 2004:
