(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's LYONs at a conversion rate of
17.6686 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the
LYONs. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as described
under "Description of the LYONs --Conversion Rights --Conversion Rate and
Delivery of Shares of common stock" in the prospectus. As a result, the number
of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the LYONs may increase or
decrease in the future. Does not include shares of common stock that may be
issued by us upon purchase of LYONs by us at the option of the holder.

(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i)of the Exchange Act, using 144,083,643
shares of common stock outstanding as of December 5, 2001. In calculating this
amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of all of that holder's LYONs, but we did not
assume conversion of any other holder's LYONs. Does not include shares of common
stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of LYONs by us at the option of the
holder.

(3) Information about holders of LYONs who wish to become selling
securityholders under the registration statement will be set forth in
supplements which will be included in post-effective amendments to the
registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is part.

(4) Assumes that any other holders of LYONs, or any future pledgees, donees,
assignees, transferees or successors of or from any such other holders of LYONs,
do not beneficially own any shares of common stock other than shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the LYONs at the initial conversion rate.
