(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder’s notes at a conversion rate of 89.1385 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes. However, this conversion rate will be subject to adjustment as described under “Description of Notes—Conversion of Notes.” As a result, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase or decrease in the future.
(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i), using 83,421,780 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 26, 2005. In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all that holder’s notes, but we did not assume conversion of any other holder’s notes.

 

 

Investing in the notes and our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully read and consider the “ Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of the prospectus.
