The exact applicable price and effective date may not be as set forth in the table above, in which case:

 

1. if the actual applicable price is between two applicable prices listed in the table above, or the actual effective date is between two dates listed in the table above, the increase in the number of additional shares will be determined by linear interpolation between the numbers of additional shares set forth for the two applicable prices, or for the two dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable;

 

2. if the actual applicable price is greater than $200.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the applicable price as set forth above), the Issuer will not increase the applicable conversion rate; and

 

3. if the actual applicable price is less than $61.50 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the applicable price as set forth above), the Issuer will not increase the applicable conversion rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not increase the conversion rate as described above to the extent the increase will cause the conversion rate to exceed 16.2602 shares per $1,000 principal amount. The Issuer will adjust this maximum conversion rate in the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, the Issuer must adjust the conversion rate as described under “—Adjustments to the conversion rate” in the preliminary prospectus supplement for the Convertible Senior Notes Offering.

ERRATA: The information set forth in the tables under the caption “Capitalization” (other than the share data) in the preliminary prospectuses relating to both the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Senior Notes Offering is in thousands, not in millions. The actual cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2008 was $351,904 thousand, not $351,094 thousand as indicated in the table under the caption “Capitalization” in the preliminary prospectus relating to the Common Stock Offering. Also in the tables under the caption “Capitalization” relating to both the Common Stock Offering and the Convertible Senior Notes Offering, the Issuer’s actual retained earnings as of June 30, 2008 were $542,181 thousand, not $534,802 thousand as indicated, and both actual total


shareholders’ equity and total capitalization were $751,503 thousand and $1,855,531 thousand, respectively, an increase of $7,379 thousand in each case. The pro forma as adjusted total shareholders’ equity and total capitalization as of June 30, 2008, giving effect to the corrected actual retained earnings amount and the final terms of both offerings, would have been $963,493 thousand and $2,336,808 thousand, respectively. In 2007, the Issuer’s produced coal sales volume in Central Appalachia was approximately twice that of the Issuer’s next closest competitor in the region, not 258% greater than the next closest competitor in the region as previously indicated. The amounts of outstanding letters of credit set forth under the caption “Description of other indebtedness—Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in the preliminary prospectus for the Convertible Senior Notes Offering are in millions.

Any information contained in this Final Pricing Term Sheet that is inconsistent with information contained in the prospectus, preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Common Stock Offering or preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Convertible Senior Notes Offering shall be governed by the terms of this Pricing Term Sheet.
