Selling holders, including their transferees, pledgees or donees or their successors, may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the Notes and common stock into which the Notes are convertible. We agreed to use reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until July 26, 2002. Our registration of the Notes and the shares of common stock into which the Notes are convertible does not necessarily mean that the selling holders will sell any or all of the Notes or the shares of the common stock into which the Notes are convertible. The following table sets forth information, as of July 13, 2001, with respect to the selling holders and the principal amounts of Notes beneficially owned by each selling holder that may be offered under this prospectus. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling holders. The selling holders may offer all, some or none of the Notes or common stock into which the Notes are convertible. Because the selling holders may offer all or some portion of the Notes or the common stock, no estimate can be given as to the amount of the Notes or the common stock that will be held by the selling holders upon termination of any sales. In addition, the selling holders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their Notes since the date on which they provided the information regarding their Notes in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(3) The principal amount of Notes held by other holders or future holders includes $195,597,000 principal amount of Notes repurchased by the Company in February 2001 which is convertible into 2,328,258 shares of common stock. None of the selling holders nor any of their affiliates, officers, directors or principal equity holders have held any position or office or have had any material relationship with us within the past three years with the exception of Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. and Lehman Brothers, Inc. In the past three years, Deutsche Bank, Inc. and Lehman Brothers, Inc. have acted as underwriters of the Company's initial public offering and follow-on public offering and as initial purchasers in the offering of the Notes. The selling holders purchased all of the Notes in a private transaction. All of the Notes and the shares of common stock into which the Notes are convertible are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act. Information concerning the selling holders may change from time to time and any changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus if and when necessary. In addition, the conversion price, and therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Accordingly, the aggregate principal amount of Notes and the number of shares of common stock into which the Notes are convertible may increase or decrease. The date of this prospectus supplement is July 13, 2001. S-4
