*Less than one percent.

         The number of shares of common stock owned prior to the offering
includes shares of common stock into which the notes are convertible. The number
of shares of common stock offered hereby is based on a conversion price of
$108.00 per share of common stock and a cash payment in lieu of any fractional
share. Information concerning other selling securityholders will be set forth in
prospectus supplements from time to time, if required. The number of shares of
common stock owned by the other selling securityholders or any future transferee
from any such holder assumes that they do not beneficially own any common stock
other than common stock into which the notes are convertible at a conversion
price of $108.00 per share.

         INVESTING IN THE NOTES OR THE COMMON STOCK INTO WHICH THE NOTES ARE
CONVERTIBLE INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. PLEASE CONSIDER THE "RISK FACTORS"
BEGINNING ON PAGE 3 OF THE PROSPECTUS.

         NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE

CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
