        on the Prospectus Supplement filed June

<PAGE>   2

        9, 2000 and subsequently amended to a principal amount of $1,000,000 on
        the Prospectus Supplement filed August 18, 2000 and the common stock
        into which those notes are convertible.


(2)     Represents an aggregate principal amount of notes which includes
        $4,000,000 previously registered on the Prospectus Supplement filed
        April 21, 2000 and the common stock into which those notes are
        convertible and $2,000,000 previously registered on the Prospectus
        Supplement filed June 9, 2000 and the common stock into which those
        notes are convertible.

               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 ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

           The date of this prospectus supplement is August 18, 2000.
