[1] | These options are outstanding at the end of the respective periods. In any period in which the exercise price is less than the average market price, these options have the potential to be dilutive, and application of the treasury stock method would reduce this amount.
[2] | We retired all of our outstanding 4.25% Notes in March 2012. For purposes of calculating diluted loss per share, the potentially dilutive shares are pro-rated based on the period they were outstanding.
