Common Stock, par value $.001 per share

      - (4)   -  (4)     - (4)     - (5)
(1) Equals the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2012 to be registered hereunder. These amounts are estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(o) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

(2) The registrant previously registered an aggregate principal amount of $230,000,000 of Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2012 on the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-141594). In accordance with Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Securities Act, an additional amount of securities having a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of no more than 20% of the maximum aggregate offering price of the securities eligible to be sold under the related Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-141594) is hereby registered.

 

(3) Calculated pursuant to Rule 457(o) under the Securities Act. The registrant previously registered an aggregate principal amount of $230,000,000 of Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2012 on the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-141594), for which a filing fee of $7,061 was previously paid.

 

(4) The settlement feature of the Convertible Subordinated Notes allows, upon conversion, that cash or shares of Common Stock be paid. As a result, the Registrant is unable to presently calculate or give a reasonable good faith estimate of the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that may be issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes. Pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act, the registration statement shall include an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or become issuable in connection with stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events.

 

(5) Pursuant to Rule 457(i) under the Securities Act, no separate registration fee is required for the shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Subordinated Notes because no additional consideration is to be received in connection with the exercise of the conversion privilege.

THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE UPON FILING WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 462(B) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
