(1) Comprises the shares of Common Stock into which the Notes held by such
Selling Securityholder are convertible at the initial conversion rate,
excluding fractional shares. Fractional shares will not be issued
upon conversion of the Notes; rather, cash will be paid in lieu of
fractional shares, if any. The Conversion Rate and the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes are
subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. See "Description
of Notes--Conversion Rights." Accordingly, the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes may increase or
decrease from time to time.
(2) Assumes conversion into Common Stock of the full amount of Notes held
by the Selling Securityholder at the initial conversion rate and the
offering of such shares by such Selling Securityholder pursuant to
this Prospectus. The Conversion Rate and the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes is subject to
adjustment under certain circumstances. See "Description of
Notes--Conversion Rights." Accordingly, the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes may increase or
decrease from time to time. Fractional shares will not be issued upon
conversion of the Notes; rather, cash will be paid in lieu of
fractional shares, if any.
(3) No such holder may offer Notes pursuant to this Prospectus until such
holder is included as a Selling Securityholder in a supplement to this
Prospectus in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.
(4) Assumes that the unnamed holders of Notes or any future transferees,
pledgees, donees or successors of or from any such unnamed holder do
not beneficially own any Common Stock other than the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Notes at the initial conversion rate.
