Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith Inc.        $   55,050,000              13.27%           243,838             *

*    Less than one percent (1%).


(1)  Amounts indicated may be in excess of the total amount registered due
     to sales or transfers exempt from the registration requirements of the
     Securities Act since the date upon which the selling securityholders
     provided to us the information regarding their LYONs.

(2)  Assumes conversion of all of the holder's LYONs at a conversion rate
     of 4.4294 common shares 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." As a
     result, the number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the
     LYONs may increase or decrease in the future. Does not include common
     shares that may be issued by us upon purchase of LYONs by us at the
     option of the holder.

(3)  Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act, using
     41,286,974 common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2002. In
     calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the
     number of common shares 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 common shares that may be issued by us upon
     purchase of LYONs by us at the option of the holder.

Investing in the LYONs involves risks that are described in the "Risk
Factors" section beginning on page 11 of the prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities
commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of
these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete.
Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
