(3) | In calculating the pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges, we have assumed the issuance of the convertible notes offered by this prospectus supplement as of the beginning of each period presented and the repayment of all outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility with the net proceeds. Therefore, the pro forma ratio reflects the effects of additional interest expense that would have been incurred on the convertible notes and lower interest expense resulting from the assumed repayment of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. |
