(1)   On October 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB’s authoritative guidance for accounting for debt with conversion options, which specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. As a result, fiscal 2009 interest expense and interest incurred were increased by $4.5 million and $8.2 million, respectively, due to the retrospective application of the change in accounting for the Company’s 2% convertible senior notes issued in May 2009.
