This supplement is part of and should be read in conjunction with our
prospectus dated November 8, 2000. The information we present in this supplement
adds to or supersedes similar information included in the prospectus.
We are supplementing the information under the caption "Selling

(1) Amounts indicated may exceed the total amount registered due to sales or
transfers exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
since the date upon which selling holders provided to us the information.
In addition, the conversion rate and, therefore, the number of shares of
common stock that we will issue upon conversion of the notes, is subject
to adjustment under some circumstances. As a result, the aggregate
principal amount of notes and the number of shares of common stock into
which the notes are convertible may increase or decrease.
(2) We have assumed that the selling security holders will sell all of the
securities listed. We cannot be sure that the selling security holders
will sell all or any of the securities that they offer in this offering.
The amount of securities listed in the table represents an estimate of the
amount of securities each selling security holder will offer.
