(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 601,514,000
      shares of common stock outstanding as of November 3, 2000. 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.
