(1) The stated amounts, to the extent they describe common stock issuable
upon conversion of the holder's preferred stock, assume conversion of all
of the holders' preferred stock at a conversion ratio of 6.4935 shares of
our common stock per share of preferred stock. This conversion ratio,
however, will be subject to adjustment as described under "Description of
the Preferred Stock - Conversion Price Adjustment". As a result, the number
of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred
stock and, therefore, attributable to holders of preferred stock, may
increase or decrease in the future.
