The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exchange of the notes shown in the table below assumes exchange of the full amount of notes held by each selling stockholder at the current conversion rate of 5.7703 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes.  This conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain events.  Accordingly, the number of conversion shares may increase or decrease from time to time.  Information concerning other selling stockholders will be set forth in other prospectus supplements from time to time, if required.  The number of shares of common stock owned by the other selling stockholders or any future transferee from any such holder assumes that they do not beneficially own any shares of common stock other than the shares of common stock that we may issue to them in exchange for or on redemption of the notes.
