Assumes conversion of all of the securityholder’s notes at a conversion rate of 73.3689 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment. As a result, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase in the future. Excludes shares of common stock that may be issued by us upon the repurchase of the notes.

(***)

Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act, using 29,211,422 shares of our common stock outstanding as of the close of business on January 25, 2008.  In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that holder’s notes, but we did not assume conversion of any other holder’s notes. The Company will not issue fractional shares of its common stock upon the conversion of the notes. The Company will pay the cash value of such fractional shares based upon the closing sale price of its common stock on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date.
