“Daily Average Price” means, for any day, the weighted average price at which the Company purchased Shares during the applicable day pursuant to the Program in open market purchases, calculated as (a) the total purchase price paid by the Company (excluding commissions) for Shares purchased pursuant to the Program in open market purchases during such day divided by (b) the total number of Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the Program in open market purchases during such day.

“Lien” means, with respect to any property or asset, any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance of any kind in respect of such property or asset.

“Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof.

“Seller Ownership Percentage” means 3.55%, which represents a percentage equal to (a) the number of Shares directly owned by such Seller as of August 4, 2007, divided by (b) 807,269,688 shares, which represent the Company’s total outstanding basic Shares as of August 4, 2007, multiplied by 100.

“Shares” means the common stock of the Company.

(b) For purposes of the definitions of “Average Price,” “Daily Average Price” and “Implied Daily Acquired Shares”, Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the Program shall be deemed to have been purchased on the trade date with respect to such Shares and not the day on which such trade settles.

ANNEX A

ACQUIRED SHARES CALCULATION

The number of Acquired Shares to be purchased from Seller at each Closing shall be equal to:

(a) the quotient of (1) the Seller Ownership Percentage divided by (2) [1 minus the Seller Ownership Percentage]

multiplied by

(b) the number of Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the Program (open market purchases and otherwise) with respect to the Applicable Month (excluding any Acquired Shares) measured from the first Business Day of the Applicable Month through and including the last Business Day of the Applicable Month;

provided that such number of Acquired Shares for the Applicable Month shall be rounded to the nearest whole Acquired Share.

For purposes of the Acquired Shares calculation, Shares purchased in the open market by the Company pursuant to the Program shall be deemed to have been purchased on the trade date with respect to such Shares and not the day on which such trade settles. Shares purchased after the end of the Applicable Month that relate to the Applicable Month shall be deemed to have been purchased during the Applicable Month.
