(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's debentures at a conversion rate of
14.7167  shares of common stock per $1,000  principal  amount at maturity of the
debentures,  rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.  However,  this
conversion  rate is subject to adjustment  as described  under  "Description  of
Debentures  -  Conversion  Rights."  As a result,  the  amount  of common  stock
issuable  upon  conversion  of the  debentures  may  increase or decrease in the
future.

(2) Calculated based on Rule  13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act using  340,351,333
shares of common stock outstanding as of October 3, 2001. Pursuant to that rule,
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
debentures but did not assume conversion of any other holder's debentures.

None of the selling securityholders have held any principal position,  office or
had any other material  relationship  within the past three years with us or our
predecessors or affiliates.

section on page 37 thereof by inserting the  following,  each as an affiliate of
one or more registered  broker-dealers:  Starvest  Managed  Portfolio,  State of
