*  Amount of Notes
** Less than one percent
(1) Share amounts assume conversion of the Notes, at an assumed conversion rate
    of 37.8698 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
(2) Based upon approximately 57,513,000 shares of voting Common Stock and an
    aggregate amount of $250,000,000 of Notes outstanding as of October 31,
    1998. Does not include 17,823,550 shares of non-voting Class B Common
    Stock. Percentages represent percentages of the class of security
    indicated.
(3) Assumes offer and sale of all Securities, although Selling Securityholders
    are not obligated to sell any Securities.
 
  Because the Selling Securityholders may, pursuant to the Prospectus and
Prospectus Supplement, offer all or some portion of the Notes they presently
hold, no estimate can be given as to the amount of the Notes that will be held
by the Selling Securityholders upon termination of any such sales. In addition,
the Selling Securityholders identified in this Prospectus Supplement or the
Prospectus may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion
of their Notes since the date on which they provided the information regarding
their Notes, and requested registration thereof, in transactions exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, since certain
other Selling Securityholders may have purchased such Notes and also requested
registration thereof, the aggregate amount of Securities listed under the
caption "Selling Securityholders" in the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement
may exceed the total amount of Securities issued or issuable by the Company.
See "Plan of Distribution."
 
  The Company may from time to time, in accordance with the Registration Rights
Agreement, include additional Selling Securityholders or update the amount of
securities held by Selling Securityholders in future supplements to the
Prospectus.
