(1)   Assumes conversion of all of the securityholders’ debentures at a conversion price of $20.48 per share of common stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment as described under “Description of Debentures-Conversion Rights” and, as a result, the amount of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures may increase or decrease in the future.
 
(2)   Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act using shares of common stock outstanding as of March 8, 2007. In calculating this amount, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that particular securityholder’s debentures. We did not assume, however, the conversion of any other securityholder’s debentures.
 
(3)   Pursuant to investment agreements, each of S.A.C. Capital Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SAC Capital Advisors”), and S.A.C. Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SAC Capital Management”), share all investment and voting power with respect to the securities held by S.A.C. Arbitrage Fund, LLC. Mr. Steve A. Cohen controls both SAC Capital Advisors and SAC Capital Management. Each of SAC Capital Advisors, SAC Capital Management and Mr. Cohen disclaim beneficial ownership of these securities.
