December 31, 2009, we believe that we were not subject to the limitations under Section 382.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties was not material as of
December 31, 2008. During 2009, we determined that it was more likely than not that certain tax positions
taken in the preparation of prior year income tax returns would not be sustained on the basis of technical merit.
Consequently, we reduced deferred tax assets by $4.6 million and also reduced the valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets by the same amount with no impact on income tax expense (benefit). A reconciliation of the
beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits follows (in thousands):
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Balance at January 1, 2009 $
Additions for tax positions related to prior years 4,645
Balance at December 31, 2009 $ 4,645
We do not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the
next twelve months.
Note 9 – Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share (in
thousands, except per share amounts):
Year ended December 31,
2009 2008 2007
Numerator:
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders $ 134,662 $ (266,334) $ 50,545
Plus income effect of assumed-conversion interest on
5.5% convertible debt 3,823
Plus income effect of assumed-conversion interest on
5.25% convertible notes 1,298
Income (loss) after assumed conversion $ 139,783 $ (266,334) $ 50,545
Denominator:
Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic 123,624 109,153 91,574
Effect of 5.5% convertible notes 18,099

Effect of warrants to purchase common stock 674
Adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding, diluted 146,891 109,153 93,078

Excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for 2009 is the impact on the weighted average shares
outstanding of the 8.6 million shares related to our 7.0% convertible notes that are issuable upon conversion
which would have been anti-dilutive for the period.
