(1) Assumes conversion of all of the Convertible Notes at a conversion price of
    $57.34 per share of common stock. However, this conversion price will be
    subject to adjustment as described in the prospectus. As a result, the
    amount of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes may
    increase or decrease in the future.

(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act using 152,075,381
    shares of the common stock outstanding as of November 30, 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
    Convertible Notes. However, we did not assume the conversion of any other
    holder's Convertible Notes.

(3) Includes $800,000 principal amount held in The Northwestern Mutual Life
    Insurance Company Group Annuity Separate Account.

     We prepared this table based on the information supplied to us on or before
November 30, 2000 by the selling securityholders named in the table.
