(1)  Assumes conversion of all of the holder's LYONs at a conversion rate of
     7.472 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of
     the LYONs. However, this conversion rate will be subject to adjustment as
     described under "Description of LYONs -- Conversion Right." As a result,
     the amount of common stock issuable upon conversion of the LYONs may
     increase or decrease in the future.

(2)  Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act using 253,032,261
     shares of common stock outstanding as of June 9, 1999. In calculating this
     amount, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common stock
     issuable upon conversion of all of that particular holder's LYONs.
     However, we did not assume the conversion of any other holder's LYONs.
