(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 our purchase of LYONs at the option of the holder.

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 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.
