    $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.

    shares of the common stock outstanding as of January 5, 2001. 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.
