(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's notes at a conversion price of
$61.08 per share of common stock and a cash payment in lieu of any
fractional interest. However, the conversion price is subject to adjustment
if particular events affecting our common stock occur. 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, using 49,740,673 shares of common stock outstanding as of August
2, 2000. In calculating these amounts, we treated as outstanding the number
of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that particular
holder's notes. However, we did not assume the conversion of any other
holder's notes.
