EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Registrant has filed this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register under the Securities Act the offer and sale of 9,000,000 shares
of Common Stock of the Registrant under the Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Plan. The shares are being registered in addition to the Common Stock previously registered for issuance on the Registrant's Registration Statements on Form S-8
concerning the Registrant's 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2008 Incentive Plan"), the Registrant's First Amendment to the 2008 Incentive Plan (as so amended, the "First Amended 2008 Incentive Plan") and the
Registrant's Second Amendment to the 2008 Incentive Plan (as so amended, the "Second Amended 2008 Incentive Plan") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on (i) May 16, 2008 (Reg.
No. 333-150992) (the "2008 Registration Statement"), (ii) May 25, 2010 (Reg. No. 333-167076) (the "2010 Registration Statement") and (iii) May 25, 2012 (Reg. No. 333-181704) (the "2012
Registration Statement"), respectively.
On March 4, 2015, the Board of Directors, subject to the requisite stockholders'
approval, amended and restated the Second Amended 2008 Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Second Amended 2008 Incentive Plan by 9,000,000 shares, to reduce the number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued upon forfeiture, settlement or termination without distribution of shares of outstanding awards under the Registrant's second amended and restated 1995 long-term incentive plan and to provide for certain share counting
changes (as so amended and restated, the "Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Plan"). On May 6, 2015, the Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders at the Registrant's Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. In accordance with Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form S-8, the Registrant is registering the additional 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which may be offered and sold under the Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive
Plan pursuant to this Registration Statement, and the contents of the 2008 Registration Statement, as supplemented, amended or superseded by the 2010 Registration Statement and the 2012 Registration Statement, are incorporated by reference herein,
except to the extent supplemented, amended or superseded by the information set forth herein.
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities
Act, this Registration Statement also covers any additional shares of the Registrant's Common Stock that become issuable under the Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other
similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration that increases the number of outstanding shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.
