(1)
The significant changes in fixed charges is primarily due to the issurance of 2010 Senior Convertible Notes and repurchase of our 2004 Senior Convertible Notes.

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing income from operations plus fixed charges by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, amortization of debt issuance costs and that portion of rental payments under operating leases that we believe to be representative of interest.
