(1)   Assumes conversion of the full amount of notes held by such selling securityholder into common stock at the initial conversion rate of 19.7918 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal of notes. Except as otherwise indicated, also assumes that the selling securityholder or any future transferees, pledgees, donees, or successors of or from such selling securityholder do not beneficially own any common stock other than the common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes. The conversion rate and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase or decrease from time to time. Under the terms of the Indenture, we will pay cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares upon conversion of notes; accordingly, the schedule does not reflect fractional shares. See “Description of Notes – Conversion Rights.”
 
(2)   Calculated based upon 26,371,425 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2005. In calculating the percentage of ownership, all shares of common stock that the identified person had the right to acquire upon conversion of such persons’ notes are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the shares of common stock owned by such person, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the shares of common stock owned by any other person.
 
(37)   Mr. Thomas Lyon has voting and dispositive power with respect to the securities held by this selling securityholder.
