(1) Assumes conversion of all of the Convertible Notes at a conversion price of
    $57.34 per share of common stock. However, this conversion price will be
    subject to adjustment as described in the prospectus. As a result, the
    amount of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes may
    increase or decrease in the future.
(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act using 151,854,251
    shares of the common stock outstanding as of September 25, 2000. In
    calculating this amount, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of
    common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that particular holder's
    Convertible Notes. However, we did not assume the conversion of any other
    holder's Convertible Notes.
     We prepared this table based on the information supplied to us on or before
September 26, 2000 by the selling securityholders named in the table.

               The date of this prospectus is September 27, 2000.
