Table of Contents

(1) The selling stockholder is also the beneficial owner.
(2) Information about other selling stockholders may be provided in prospectus supplements or in an amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part.
(3) Unless otherwise indicated, each selling stockholder may offer any or all of the Series F preferred stock it beneficially owns and any or all of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F preferred stock. Because the selling stockholders are not obligated to sell the shares of Series F preferred stock or common stock, we cannot estimate the number of shares of Series F preferred stock or common stock that the selling stockholders will hold upon consummation of any sales. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, each of the selling stockholders has informed us that it does not own any of our securities other than the Series F preferred stock and common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F preferred stock prior to the offering.
(4) Assumes conversion of all of the selling stockholders’ shares of Series F preferred stock at the conversion rate of 16.6627 shares of common stock per share of Series F preferred stock. This conversion rate is subject to certain adjustments as specified in the Series F preferred stock certificate of designations. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series F preferred stock may be adjusted from time to time. Fractional shares will not be issued upon conversion of the Series F preferred stock. Cash will be paid instead of fractional shares, if any.
(5) The selling stockholder is a participating lender in one of our loan agreements.
(6) The selling stockholder owns an additional 2,338 shares of our common stock, which are not covered by this prospectus.
(7) Assumes that the unnamed selling stockholders, or any future transferees, pledges, donees or successor of or from any selling stockholder do not beneficially own any of our securities other than the Series F preferred stock and common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F preferred stock prior to the offering.
