(1)   Assumes conversion of all of the holders’ notes at a conversion rate of 24.7647 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as described under “Description of the Notes—Conversion of Notes.” As a result, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase or decrease in the future. In addition, the number of shares of common stock listed for each holder does not include fractional shares. Holders will receive a cash adjustment for any fractional share amount resulting from conversion of the notes, as described under “Description of the Notes—Conversion of Notes.”

(47) The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is the parent of Goldman, Sachs & Co. Goldman, Sachs & Co. is not an affiliate of us (the term “affiliate” as used here means a person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with, us). Goldman, Sachs & Co. makes no other representation about any of its officers, directors or principal equity holders (5% or more) as to whether any of such persons holds or have held positions or offices in, or has or has had any material relationship with, is, our predecessors or affiliates. Please see the publicly filed reports for Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. available at www.sec.gov for a list of its directors and its executive officers. Goldman, Sachs & Co. is a registered broker-dealer.

The selling securityholders listed above do not have, and within the past three years have not had, any material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates and, unless otherwise indicated, do not beneficially own in excess of 1% of our outstanding common stock (such percentage of beneficial ownership is based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) under the Exchange Act, using 36,536,069 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 22, 2006, and, for such holders, treating as outstanding the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all of the holder’s notes, but assuming no conversion of any other holder’s notes and not including shares of common stock that may be issued by us upon repurchase of notes by us at the option of the holders).

If all of the notes or common stock convertible upon conversion of the notes are sold, the selling securityholders will no longer hold any notes and would not own in excess of 1% of our outstanding common stock (such percentage calculated as described above).
