(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.
