The following information amends, restates and updates the information

Noteholders and Stockholders -- 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes" based

16, 1999 as to the security ownership of the Principal and Selling Noteholders.
PRINCIPAL AND SELLING NOTEHOLDERS AND STOCKHOLDERS
7 1/4% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
We originally issued and sold our 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes to
the initial purchasers in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. Subsequently, the initial purchasers of our
7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes may have sold some or all of our 7 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Notes to persons reasonably believed to be Qualified
Institutional Buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The
present holders of our 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes may from time to
time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of our 7 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Notes and common stock into which our 7 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Notes may convert.
Set forth below is the name of each selling holder of our 7 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Notes, the nature of any position, office, or other
material relationship it has had with us or any of our predecessors or
affiliates within the past three years, the principal amount of our 7 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Notes that it may offer and sell pursuant to this
prospectus and (if one percent or more) the percentage of our 7 1/4% Convertible
Subordinated Notes the holder owned as of July 16, 1999, the number of shares
that it may offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus and (if one percent or
more) the percentage of common stock represented by the common stock after
conversion of our 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes.
The selling noteholders identified in this 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 noteholders may
have purchased such Notes and also requested registration thereof, the aggregate
amount of securities listed under the caption "Selling Noteholders and
Stockholders" in the Prospectus may exceed the total amount of securities issued
or issuable by us. See "Plan of Distribution."
