9. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE ("EPS")

        The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (shares in thousands):

 
  Three Months Ended
June 30,
 
 
  2012   2011  

Net loss

  $ (110,838 ) $ (8,713 )
           

Weighted average shares outstanding—basic and diluted

    85,010     82,505  
           

Basic and Diluted EPS

  $ (1.30 ) $ (0.11 )
           

        The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011; therefore, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude the impact of unvested share-based awards that are considered participating restricted stock and all common stock equivalents because their impact would be antidilutive.

        Our unvested restricted stock rights (including restricted stock units, time-based and market-based restricted stock awards) are considered participating restricted stock since these securities have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the contractual period of the award, and thus require the two-class method of computing EPS. The calculation of EPS for common stock shown above excludes the income attributable to the unvested restricted stock rights from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those awards from the denominator. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we had approximately 5,900,000 and 4,854,000, respectively, of unvested share-based awards that are considered participating restricted stock which are excluded due to the net loss for those periods.

        The Company defines common stock equivalents as unexercised stock options, common stock equivalents underlying the Convertible Notes (see Note 8) and warrants outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are measured using the treasury stock method, except for the Convertible Notes, which are assessed for their impact on diluted EPS using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method or the if-converted method. Under the provisions of the if-converted method, the Convertible Notes are assumed to be converted and included in the denominator of the EPS calculation and the interest expense, net of tax, recorded in connection with the Convertible Notes is added back to the numerator.

        In connection with the issuance of our 4.375% Convertible Notes in June 2009, the Company purchased convertible note hedges (see Note 8) which were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their impact is always considered antidilutive since the call option would be exercised by the Company when the exercise price is lower than the market price. Also in connection with the issuance of our 4.375% Convertible Notes, the Company entered into warrant transactions (see Note 8).

        Other common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted EPS calculation were unexercised stock option awards of approximately 2,009,000 and 2,302,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because their effect would be antidilutive.

        For the three months ended June 30, 2012, we issued approximately 1,801,000 shares of common stock in connection with restricted stock awards and we canceled approximately 945,000 shares of unvested restricted stock awards.
