(2)		The numbers of Shares beneficially owned and being offered, as set forth in the table, have been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, include the Shares into which the notes are convertible, and assume a conversion price of $50.00 per Share and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. In addition, the conversion rate of the notes may be adjusted under certain circumstances which will change the number of Shares received upon conversion. See “Description of the Notes – Conversion Rights” in the prospectus dated July 21, 2003.

(3)		Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act using 201,739,825 Shares outstanding as of December 26, 2003. In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of Shares issuable upon conversion of all of that holder’s notes, but we did not assume conversion of any other holder’s notes. Does not include Shares that may be issued by us upon redemption or purchase of the notes by us at the option of the holder.

(4)		Banc of America Securities LLC, was co-manager for our offering of the notes. Additionally, Banc of America Securities LLC and its affiliates are currently performing and have in the past performed various investment banking, general financing and advisory services for us and our affiliates for which they receive customary fees and expenses.

(1)		When taken together with the selling securityholder table in the prospectus and the previous prospectus supplement, the aggregate principal amount held by selling securityholders listed in this prospectus supplement is more than $360,000,000 because some of the selling securityholders may have transferred notes pursuant to Rule 144A or otherwise reduced their positions prior to selling pursuant to the registration statement of which the prospectus, the previous prospectus supplement and this prospectus supplement form a part. The maximum aggregate principal amount of notes that may be sold under the prospectus, the previous prospectus supplement and this prospectus supplement will not exceed $360,000,000.
