(1) Comprises the shares of Common Stock into which the Notes held by such
Selling Securityholder are convertible at the initial conversion rate. The
Conversion Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes are subject to adjustment under certain
circumstances. See "Description of Notes -- Conversion Rights."
Accordingly, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Notes may increase or decrease from time to time.
(2) Assumes conversion into Common Stock of the full amount of Notes held by
the Selling Securityholder at the initial conversion price and the offering
of such shares by such Selling Securityholder pursuant to the Registration
Statement of which the Prospectus forms a part. The Conversion Price and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes
are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. See "Description of
Notes -- Conversion Rights." Accordingly, the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes may increase or decrease from
time to time. Fractional shares will not be issued upon conversion of the
Notes; rather, cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares, if any.
(3) Reflects the sale of $1,770,000 principal amount of the Notes previously
listed under "Selling Securityholders" and the purchase of an additional
$250,000 principal amount of the Notes.
Because the Selling Securityholders may, pursuant to this Prospectus, offer
all or some portion of the Notes they presently hold, no estimate can be given
as to the amount of the Notes that will be held by the Selling Securityholders
upon termination of any such sales. In addition, the Selling Securityholders
identified above may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a
portion of their Notes since the date on which they provided the information
regarding their Notes, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act. See "Plan of Distribution."
Jefferies & Company, Inc. was one of the initial purchasers of the Notes, was
the initial purchaser of the Company's 7 7/8% Senior Notes Due 2008 issued in
January 1998 and received placement fees in connection with such transactions.
The Company may from time to time, in accordance with the Registration Rights
Agreement, include additional Selling Securityholders in future supplements to
the Prospectus.
