 (2)   In June 2012, the remaining $0.5 million of our 3.75% convertible notes outstanding was converted into 34,482 shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the notes.

Stock options to purchase 5,653,638 shares of common stock and 6,407,977 shares of restricted stock and PSUs were outstanding at September 30, 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we included 4,397,210 of the outstanding stock options and 4,826,614 shares of restricted stock and PSUs in the computation of diluted earnings per share, on a weighted-average basis, as their inclusion was dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we included 4,397,210 of the outstanding stock options and 4,567,960 shares of restricted stock and PSU’s in the computation of diluted earnings per share, on a weighted-average basis, as their inclusion was dilutive. The remaining stock options and shares of restricted stock and PSUs are antidilutive, and as such, they were properly excluded.

Stock options to purchase 9,299,981 shares of common stock and 6,268,114 shares of restricted stock and PSUs were outstanding at September 30, 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we included 6,048,811of the outstanding stock options and 6,205,162 shares of restricted stock and PSUs in the computation of diluted earnings per share, on a weighted-average basis, as their inclusion was dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we included 6,047,125 of the outstanding stock options and 5,066,223 shares of restricted stock and PSUs in the computation of diluted earnings per share, on a weighted-average basis, as their inclusion was dilutive. The remaining stock options and shares of restricted stock and PSUs are antidilutive, and as such, they were properly excluded.

The 3.75% convertible notes were accounted for under the if-converted method, as we previously had settled the convertible notes in shares of our common stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, all of the shares underlying the outstanding 3.75% convertible notes were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on a weighted-average basis, as their inclusion was dilutive.
