(a) The $345,000,000 of 5.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2007 which are
convertible into 8,712,121 shares at $39.60 per share were outstanding
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, but were not
included in the computation of diluted EPS because the impact was
anti-dilutive.
(b) Options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from
the computation of diluted earnings per share in those cases where the
exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares.
