of 20 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the
notes. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as described in
the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Notes--Conversion Rights." As
a result, the amount 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
18,952,396 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2002. 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.
