The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

 

   

If the stock price is between two stock price amounts in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

 

   

If the stock price is greater than $150.00 per share, subject to adjustment, no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

If the stock price is less than $17.81 per share, subject to adjustment, no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate be increased on account of the additional shares to exceed 56.1482 per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “Description of Notes—Conversion Rate Adjustments” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
