(4)  Assumes conversion of all of the holder's notes at the initial conversion
     rate of 14.9616 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at
     maturity of the notes. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment as
     described under "Description of Notes--Conversion Rights." As a result, the
     number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may
     increase or decrease in the future.

(5)  Calculated based on 157,512,278 shares of common stock outstanding as of
     November 30, 2002. 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 notes, but we did not assume conversion
     of any other holder's notes.

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

    Shares of our common stock are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under
the trading symbol "BJS". The last reported sale price of the shares on December
17, 2002 was $33.47 per share.

     Investing in the notes involves risks. We urge you to carefully read the
"Forward-Looking Statements" section on page 4 and the "Risk Factors" section
beginning on page 11 of the prospectus together with this prospectus supplement
and the prospectus before you make your investment decision.
