The principal of the Convertible Notes is convertible into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, $0.01 par value at a conversion price of approximately $337.9520 per share in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes.
F3	The Convertible Notes are exercisable at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 15, 2024 only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 110% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (see Footnote (4) continued below)
F4	(ii) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after June 15, 2024 until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
