Repurchase at the Option of the Holder upon a Fundamental Change:

 

Upon a “fundamental change” as defined in the preliminary prospectus supplement dated May 28, 2009, the holders may require the Issuer to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, to, but excluding, the “fundamental change purchase date” (as defined in the preliminary prospectus supplement dated May 28, 2009).

 

 

Use of Proceeds:

The Issuer estimates that the proceeds from the Convertible Senior Notes Offering will be approximately $116.4 million ($133.86 million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional Notes in full), after deducting fees and before estimated expenses. The Issuer expects to use (i) a portion of the net proceeds for the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds of the warrant transactions described in “Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions” in the preliminary prospectus supplement dated May 28, 2009 and (ii) the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.

 

 

Commissions and Discounts:

The underwriters have advised the Issuer that they propose initially to offer the Notes at a price of 100% of the principal amount of Notes, plus accrued interest from the original issue date of the Notes, if any, and to dealers at a price less a concession not in excess of 1.8% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued interest from the original issue date of the Notes, if any. The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds before expenses (which expenses, not including the underwriting discount, are estimated to be $600,000 and are payable by the Issuer) to the Issuer. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions:

The convertible note hedge transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of shares of the Issuer’s common stock underlying the Notes. The warrants issued to affiliates of the underwriters of the Notes cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, up to the same number of shares of the Issuer’s common stock. The cost of the convertible note hedge transactions, after being partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of the warrants, was $15 million.  If the option granted to the underwriters to purchase additional Notes is exercised, the Issuer may sell additional warrants and use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes, together with the proceeds from the sale of any additional warrants, to enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions. 

 

 

Adjustment to Shares Delivered Upon Conversion Upon a Make-whole Fundamental Change or a Notice of Redemption:

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

 

·                  If the stock price is between two stock prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

 

·                  If the stock price is greater than $50.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

 

·                  If the stock price is less than $8.54 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.
