(1)   Also includes any sale of the notes and the underlying common stock by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest that receive such securities by pledge, gift, distribution or other non-sale related transfer from the named selling securityholders. Information about other selling securityholders will be set forth in future prospectus supplements or in other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, if required. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”
(2)   Based on $300,500,000 aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding as of November 12, 2002.
(3)   Excludes common stock issuable upon conversion of the selling securityholder’s notes.
(4)   Assumes conversion of all of the selling securityholder’s notes at a conversion rate of 17.763 per note and a cash payment in lieu of the issuance of any fractional share interest. However, this conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described under “Description of the Notes — Conversion Rights.” As a result, the number of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase or decrease in the future.
(5)   Reflects rounding down of fractional common stock issuable to each selling securityholder upon conversion of the notes.
(6)   Calculated based on Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 using 40,853,319 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 31, 2002. In calculating this amount, we did not treat as outstanding the common stock issuable upon conversion of notes.
