   &lt;div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Effective January&amp;#160;1, 2009, The Company adopted a bifurcation requirement prescribed by &lt;i&gt;ASC
   Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, &lt;/i&gt;with the retrospective application for our
   outstanding $1,150.0&amp;#160;million of Convertible Senior Notes, which consisted of $350.0&amp;#160;million related
   to the 2% Convertible Senior Note (2023 Note), $450.0&amp;#160;million related to the 1 1/2% Convertible
   Senior Note (2024 Note) and $350.0&amp;#160;million related to the 3 1/4% Convertible Senior Note (2025
   Note). Upon adoption of the provision, the Company retroactively recognized the carrying amount of
   $100.0&amp;#160;million, $129.8&amp;#160;million, and $47.6&amp;#160;million for the equity components of the 2023, 2024 and
   2025 Notes, respectively, with deferred tax impacts of $39.1&amp;#160;million, $50.7&amp;#160;million and $18.6
   million for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 Notes, respectively, and a liability component classified in
   long-term debt of $250.0&amp;#160;million, $320.2&amp;#160;million and $302.4&amp;#160;million for the 2023, 2024 and 2025
   Notes, respectively. The terms of the 2023 Notes, 2024 Notes, and 2025 Notes require the Company to
   settle the par value of such notes in cash and deliver shares only for the excess, if any, of the
   notes&amp;#8217; conversion value based on conversion prices of $34.12, $51.02, and $49.13 per share,
   respectively, over their par values.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;In conjunction with the adoption of the provision, the Company applied the guidance to the
   Company&amp;#8217;s debt issuance costs. As a result, the Company allocated the underlying issuance costs
   associated with the Convertible Senior Notes to equity in the same ratio as when determining the
   appropriate debt discount. The Company allocated $6.9&amp;#160;million to equity with a deferred tax impact
   of $2.7&amp;#160;million, and reduced the amount of the debt issuance costs by $6.9&amp;#160;million.
   &lt;/div&gt;
