officer, or employee, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any agent or representative of the
Company or of any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, has taken any action in violation of

time and date for delivery of the Firm Securities is herein called the “First Time of Delivery”,
any time and date for delivery of Optional Securities, if not the First Time of Delivery, is herein
called the “Second Time of Delivery”, and each such time and date for delivery of Securities is

expiration of nine months after the time of issue of the Prospectus in connection with the
offering and sale of the Securities and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Securities and if at such time any event shall have occurred as a result of which the

lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered,
not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to

Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities at any time nine months or more after the
time of issue of the Prospectus, upon your request but at the expense of the Underwriter, to

(f) During the period beginning from the date hereof and continuing to and including
the date 90 days after the date of the Prospectus, not to offer, sell, contract to sell,
pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose, except as
provided hereunder, of any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the
Securities or Common Stock, including but not limited to any options or warrants to purchase
shares of Common Stock or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or
that represent the right to receive, Common Stock or any such substantially similar
securities (other than pursuant to employee stock option plans or employee stock purchase
plans each existing on, or Common Stock issuable (at the conversion rates in effect on the
date hereof) upon exchange for, or conversion of, convertible securities outstanding as of

writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; the Underwriter represents and
agrees that, without the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer
relating to the Securities that would constitute a free writing prospectus; any such free writing
prospectus the use of which has been consented to by the Company is listed on Schedule II(a)
hereto.
(b) The Company has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the
Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the

Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus
would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package
or the Prospectus or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
then prevailing, not misleading, the Company will give prompt notice thereof to the Underwriter
and, if requested by the Underwriter, will prepare and furnish without charge to the Underwriter an
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document which will correct such conflict, statement or
omission; provided, however, that this covenant and agreement shall not apply to any statements or
omissions in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein.

connection with the Blue Sky survey; (iv) the filing fees incident to, and the reasonable fees and

preparing the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee
and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the

obligations hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section. It is
understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section, and Sections 9 and 12 hereof, the
Underwriter will pay all of its own costs and expenses, including the fees of its counsel, transfer
taxes on resale it may make of any of the Securities, and any advertising expenses connected with
any offers it may make.
17
8. The obligations of the Underwriter hereunder, as to the Securities to be delivered at each
Time of Delivery, shall be subject, in its discretion, to the condition that all representations
and warranties and other statements of the Company herein are, at and as of such Time of Delivery,
true and correct, the condition that the Company shall have performed all of its obligations
hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions:

long-term debt of the Company or any change, or any development involving a prospective
change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’
equity or results of operations of the Company, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated

make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the

18
(f) On or after the Applicable Time there shall not have occurred any of the following:

or prior to such Time of Delivery, as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (e) of
this Section and as to such other matters as you may reasonably request.
9. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Underwriter may become subject,
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the
Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration
Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Underwriter expressly for use therein.
19
(b) The Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration
Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Underwriter expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice
of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party (except to the extent that
such failure to notify results in any material prejudice against the indemnifying party with
respect to such action) otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b). In case any such action shall
be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the
extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except
with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense
thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection
for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred
by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party,
effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to,
any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may
be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such
action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional
release of the indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include any statement as to or
an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
20
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to
hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one
hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the
allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if
the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in
the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the
Underwriter, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other
and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this subsection (d).The amount paid or payable by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the

person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such

which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each
person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, each agent
of the Underwriter, and each broker-dealer affiliate of the Underwriter; and the obligations of the
Underwriter under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter may

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements
of the Company and the Underwriter, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them,
respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Underwriter
or any controlling person of the Underwriter, or the Company, or any officer or director or
controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.
12. If for any reason any Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as
provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter through you for all out-of-pocket
expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably
incurred by the Underwriter in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the
Securities not so delivered, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to the
Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.
13. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to

information that identifies its clients, including the Company, which information may include the

the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of
the Company and each person who controls the Company or the Underwriter, and its respective
successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of
this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from the Underwriter shall be deemed a
successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
15. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day”
shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.

pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the
one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and
with the process leading to such transaction the Underwriter is acting solely as a principal
and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) the Underwriter has not assumed an advisory or
fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby
or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriter has advised or is currently
advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the
obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal
and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will not
claim that the Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a
fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process
leading thereto.
17. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or
oral) between the Company and the Underwriter, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
18. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York.
19. The Company and the Underwriter hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
20. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts
shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
23
21. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company is authorized to disclose to any
persons U.S. federal and state tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all
materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company
relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriter imposing any limitation of any
kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain
confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any
person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts
that may be relevant to that treatment.”
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us
counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, this letter and such acceptance hereof
shall constitute a binding agreement between the Underwriter and the Company.

Use of Proceeds:
|
The Issuer intends to use approximately $43.7 million of
the net proceeds of the offering to fund the cost of the
capped call transactions described below that the Issuer
will enter into with one or more counterparties (the
“hedge counterparties”) in connection with the pricing of
the notes. If the underwriters exercise their option to
purchase additional notes, the Issuer may use a portion of
the net proceeds from the sale of such additional notes to
fund the cost of entering into additional capped call
transactions with the hedge counterparties. The Issuer intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include repurchases of the Issuer’s outstanding 2012 Notes before their scheduled maturity date on August 15, 2012, or repayment of the 2012 Notes at maturity unless the 2012 Notes are converted into our common stock. |
|
Capped Call Transaction:
|
In connection with the pricing of the notes, the Issuer will enter into capped call transactions with the hedge counterparties with respect to the number of shares of the Issuer’s common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the notes. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional notes, the Issuer may enter into additional capped call transactions with the hedge counterparties with respect to the number of shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the additional notes. The capped call transactions will cover the number of shares of the Issuer’s common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the notes or additional notes, as applicable, with an initial strike price equal to the initial conversion price of the notes and with a cap price initially equal to $18.45, or approximately 180% of the Last Sale Price (in each case subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments). | |

The exact stock price and effective date may not be set forth in the table above, in which
case:
• | if the stock price is between two stock prices in the table or the effective date is
between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be
determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set
forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates,
as applicable, based on a 365-day year; |
||
• | if the stock price is more than $75.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same
manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no
additional shares will be added to the conversion rate; and |
||
• | if the stock price is less than $10.25 per share (subject to adjustment in the same
manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no
additional shares will be added to the conversion rate. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion exceed 97.5610 per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment
in the same manner, at the same time and for the same events as the conversion rate as set forth
under “Description of the notes—Conversion rights—Conversion Rate Adjustments” in the Preliminary
Prospectus.
The Issuer’s obligation to satisfy the additional shares requirement could be considered a
penalty, in which case the enforceability thereof would be subject to general principles of
reasonableness and equitable remedies.

The “Capitalization” section on page S-25 of the Preliminary Prospectus is hereby replaced in
its entirety with the “Capitalization” section set forth below, giving effect to the increased size

which $78.3 million in aggregate principal amount remained outstanding as of September 30,
2011, and in August 2005, we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2012
Notes of which $206.7 million in aggregate principal amount remained outstanding as of
September 30, 2011. Pursuant to ASC 470-20, these notes are recorded at a discount offset by
the amount of the discount being reflected as additional paid-in capital. The discount is
amortized over the term of the notes. |

(2) | The number of shares shown as issued and outstanding in the table above excludes: |
• | an aggregate of approximately 5,039,430 shares and 11,624,827 shares of our
common stock issuable upon conversion of our outstanding 2011 Notes and 2012 Notes,
respectively, at an applicable conversion price of approximately $15.55 and $17.78
per share, respectively; |
||
• | an aggregate of approximately 32,270,167 shares (or 37,110,692 shares if the
underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full) of our
common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes offered hereby at an applicable
conversion price of approximately $13.33 per share; |

• | 25,938,193 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of options
outstanding as of September 30, 2011, having a weighted-average exercise price of
$16.40 per share; |
||
• | 376,809 shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock
unit awards outstanding as of September 30, 2011; and |

• | an aggregate of 5,701,431 and 596,625 shares of our common stock reserved as of
September 30, 2011 under our Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan and our
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, respectively. |
(3) | Amounts shown below reflect the application of ASC 470-20, which requires issuers to
separately account for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments
that may settle in cash (such as the notes and our existing convertible notes). In accordance
with ASC 470-20, we estimate that $430.0 million aggregate principal amount of the notes will
be recognized as follows (in thousands): |
Liability component |
||||
Principal |
$ | 430,000 | ||
Less: debt discount |
(115,791 | ) | ||
Net carrying amount |
$ | 314,209 | ||
Equity component |
$ | 115,791 | ||
The equity component associated with the notes is reflected in the capitalization table as
an increase to additional paid-in capital, as further adjusted.
(4) | Additional paid-in capital, as further adjusted, has also been reduced by $43.7 million,
representing the cost of the capped call transactions entered into in connection with the
pricing of the notes. No impact for deferred taxes is recorded due to our full valuation
allowance position for tax. |
