PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT (dated May 28, 1998)
To Prospectus dated May 26, 1998
The "Selling Holders" section of the Prospectus is amended to read as
follows:
SELLING HOLDERS
The Debentures were originally issued by the Company and resold by BT Alex.
Brown Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (the "Initial
Purchasers"), in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, to persons reasonably believed by the Initial Purchasers to be
"qualified institutional buyers" ("QIBs") as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Such
persons constitute the "Selling Holders." The Selling Holders (which term
includes their transferees, pledgees, donees or their successors) may from time
to time offer and sell pursuant to this Prospectus any or all of the Debentures
and Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Debentures.
The following table sets forth information with respect to the Selling
Holders and the respective principal amounts of Debentures and shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by each Selling Holder. Such information has been
obtained from the Selling Holders. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, none
of the Selling Holders has, or within the past three years has had, any position
office or other material relationship with the Company or any of its
predecessors or affiliates. Because the Selling Holders may offer all or some
portion of the Debentures or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof
pursuant to this Prospectus, no estimate can be given as to the amount of the
Debentures or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof that will be
held by the Selling Holders upon termination at any such sales. In addition,
the Selling Holders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of all or a portion of their Debentures, since the date on which they
provided the information regarding their Debentures, in transactions exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
