(1)      Assumes conversion of all of the holder's notes at a conversion rate of
         33.0565 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity
         of the notes. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however,
         as described under "Description of the Notes - Conversion of the
         Notes." As a result, the number of shares 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
         43,826,969 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2001.
         In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding
         the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all
         that holder's notes, but we did not assume conversion of any other
         holder's notes.


      Investing in the notes or shares of common stock involves risks that are
described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 5 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 supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the
contrary is a criminal offense.
