(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's LYONs at a conversion rate of
17.6686 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of
the LYONs. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as
described under "Description of the LYONs --Conversion Rights --Conversion
Rate and Delivery of Shares of common stock" in the prospectus. As a
result, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
the LYONs may increase or decrease in the future. Does not include shares
of common stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of LYONs by us at
the option of the holder.
(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i)of the Exchange Act, using 144,279,735
shares of common stock outstanding as of August 5, 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 LYONs, but
we did not assume conversion of any other holder's LYONs. Does not include
shares of common stock that may be issued by us upon our purchase of LYONs
at the option of the holder.
(3) Formerly an affiliate of Kentfield Trading Ltd., which was listed as a
Selling Securityholder in the prospectus. Due to an internal reorganization
of the entities controlled by Kentfield Trading Ltd., a portion of the
LYONs listed as beneficially owned by Kentfield Trading Ltd. in the
prospectus are now beneficially owned by this entity.
INVESTING IN THE LYONS INVOLVES RISKS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THE "RISK FACTORS"
SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 10 OF THE PROSPECTUS.
