                               PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF
                               NOTES BENEFICIALLY                         COMMON STOCK OWNED    COMMON STOCK

McMahan Securities Co. L.P.         $20,000                 *(2)                833(3)              185
</TABLE>

--------------
* Less than one percent.

         (1) We believe any excess of the total amount of registered sales by
Selling Securityholders is the result of (i) sales by Selling Securityholders
who previously registered their shares in unregistered offers and the subsequent
registration by the purchaser thereof, or (ii) registration by Selling
Securityholders who had acquired their shares in a previously registered
transaction.

         (2) Represents the total percentage of Notes currently outstanding
comprised of 185 shares of common stock beneficially owned and offered hereby
and 833 shares of common stock beneficially owned and previously registered as
set forth in footnote (3) below.

         (3) Represents common stock beneficially owned under $90,000 principal
amount of Notes previously registered on the Prospectus Supplement filed January
5, 2001 and the common stock into which those Notes are convertible.

<PAGE>   2

         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 January 18, 2001.
