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

 

    If the share price is between two share price amounts 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 share price amounts and the two effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

 

    If the share price is greater than $9.00 per share, subject to adjustment, the conversion rate will not be adjusted; and

 

    If the share price is less than $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment, the conversion rate will not be adjusted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of the Issuer’s common stock issuable upon conversion exceed 166.6665 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth above under “Description of Notes—Conversion Rate Adjustments” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
