22,865,525 Shares for cash in the amount of approximately $334,051,523,
including brokerage commissions. The Fidelity Funds used their own assets in
making such purchase and no part of the purchase price is represented by

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The purpose of Fidelity and FMTC in having the Fidelity Funds and the
Accounts purchase Shares (see Item 5 below) is to acquire an equity interest
in the Company in pursuit of specified investment objectives established by
the Board of Trustees of the Fidelity Funds and by the investors in the
Accounts.
Fidelity and FMTC, respectively, may continue to have the Fidelity Funds
and the Accounts purchase Shares subject to a number of factors, including,
among others, the availability of Shares of sale at what they consider to be
reasonable prices and other investment opportunities that may be available to
the Fidelity Funds and Accounts.
Fidelity and FMTC, respectively, intend to review continuously the
equity position of the Fidelity Funds and Accounts in the Company. Depending
upon future evaluations of the business prospects of the Company and upon
other developments, including, but not limited to, general economic and
business conditions and money market and stock market conditions, Fidelity may
determine to cease making additional purchases of Shares or to increase or
decrease the equity interest in the Company by acquiring additional Shares, or
by disposing of all or a portion of the Shares.
Neither Fidelity nor FMTC has any present plan or proposal which relates
to or would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization, liquidation, or sale of transfer of a material amount
of assets involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any change in
the Company's present Board of Directors or management, (iii) any material
changes in the Company's present capitalization or dividend policy or any
other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure, (iv)
any change in the Company's charter or by-laws, or (v) the Company's common
stock becoming eligible for termination of its registration pursuant to
Section 12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.
Although Item 5 assumes that FMR, Fidelity, and FMTC, beneficially own
all 5,502,023 Shares, reference is made to Item 2 for a disclaimer of
beneficial ownership with respect to the securities which are "beneficially
owned" by the other corporations.
(a) FMR beneficially owns, through Fidelity, as investment advisor to
the Fidelity Funds, 5,314,000 Shares, or approximately 11.74% of the
outstanding Shares of the Company, and through FMTC, the managing agent for
the Accounts, 188,023 Shares, or approximately 0.42% of the outstanding Shares
of the Company. The number of Shares held by the Fidelity Funds includes
40,223 Shares of common stock resulting from the assumed conversion of
$730,000 principal amount of the 6.375 Convertible Subordinated Debenture
(55.1 shares of common stock for each $1000 principal amount of the
debenture). Neither FMR, Fidelity, FMTC, nor any of its affiliates nor, to
the best knowledge of FMR, any of the persons name in Schedule A hereto,
beneficially owns any other Shares. The combined holdings of FMR, Fidelity,
and FMTC, are 5,502,023 Shares, or approximately 12.15% of the outstanding
Shares of the Company.
(b) FMR, through is control of Fidelity, investment advisor to the
Fidelity Funds, and the Funds each has sole power to dispose of the Shares.
Neither FMR nor Mr. Johnson has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of
the 5,314,000 Shares owned directly by the Fidelity Funds, which power resides
with the Funds' Boards of Trustees. Fidelity carries out the voting of the
Shares under written guidelines established by the Funds' Board of Trustees.
FMR, through its control of FMTC, investment manager to the Accounts, and the
Accounts each has sole dispositive power over 188,023 Shares and sole power to
vote or to direct the voting of 40,223 Shares, and no power to vote or to
direct the voting of 147,800 Shares owned by the Accounts.
(c) Except as set forth in Schedule B, neither FMR, or any of its
affiliates, nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any of the persons named in
Schedule A hereto has effected any transaction in Shares during the past sixty
(60) days.
Item 6. Contract, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
