The Notes
The Notes are convertible at any time at the holders option at an initial conversion rate of 127.275 shares of the Common Stock, per $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $7.857 per share, subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments.

At maturity, the Issuer, may, at its option, pay the principal amount of the Notes in shares of Common Stock having a market value at that time equal to the principal amount of the Notes, plus an amount equal to the underwriting spread of a nationally-recognized underwriter chosen by the Issuer that would be paid by a seller of the shares at such time. The Issuer may prepay the Notes in whole, for cash, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, at any time on or after December 23, 2011 if the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds the conversion price in effect at that time by a specified percentage.
