The actual stock price and effective date may not be set forth in the above table, in which case:

 

·                  If the actual stock price on the effective date is between two stock prices on the table or the actual effective date is between two effective dates on the table, the make-whole premium will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the make-whole premiums set forth for the two stock prices and the two effective dates on the table based on a 365-day year, as applicable.

 

·                  If the stock price exceeds $100.00 per share, subject to adjustment, no make-whole premium will be paid.

 

·                  If the stock price is less than $20.97 per share, subject to adjustment, no make-whole premium will be paid.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate exceed 47.6871 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “Description of the NotesConversion RightsConversion Rate Adjustments” in the Preliminary Prospectus.

 

Capped Call Transactions:  In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Issuer expects to enter into capped call transactions (the “base capped call transactions”) with one or more hedge counterparties.  If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, the Issuer may enter into additional capped call transactions with the hedge counterparties (together with the base capped call transactions, the “capped call transactions”).  The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Issuer’s common stock upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market price of the Issuer’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the notes, and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.  However, if the market price of the Issuer’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, the anti-dilutive effect of the capped call transactions will be limited.
