reference to the prospectus, except to the extent that the information in this

Jefferies & Company, Inc.            $1,250,000 (3)             *                    36,326                *



- ----------------------
* Less than 1%.

(1)   Assumes conversion of all of the securityholder's notes at a conversion
      price of $34.41 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price of
      $36.531 per share has been adjusted to reflect a cash dividend of $0.40
      per share of common stock and a 5% stock dividend paid by us on September
      28, 2001. The conversion price is subject to further adjustment as
      described under "Description of Notes-Conversion Rights" and, as a result,
      the amount of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may
      increase or decrease in the future.

(2)   Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act using 31,813,144
      shares of common stock outstanding as of December 7, 2001. In calculating
      this amount, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common
      stock issuable upon conversion of all of that particular securityholder's
      notes. We did not assume, however, the conversion of any other
      securityholder's notes.

(3)   The notes shown in this prospectus supplement as owned by Jefferies &
      Company, Inc. are in addition to the $19,160,000 principal amount of notes
      previously reported in this prospectus as owned by such holder.

         Investing in the notes and our common stock involves risks, which are
described under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 11 of the prospectus.

         Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities
commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this
prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense.
