(1)  Assumes conversion of all of the holder's notes at a conversion price of
     8.2723 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of
     the notes. This conversion price, however, will be subject to adjustment as
     described under "Description of the Notes--Conversion Rights" in the
     prospectus. As a result, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
     conversion of the notes may increase or decrease in the future.

(2)  Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act using
     238,095,339 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 22, 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
     notes. However, we did not assume the conversion of any other holder's
     notes.

(3)  Information about other selling securityholders will be set forth in
     additional prospectus supplements, if required. Assumes that any other
     holders of notes, or any future transferees, pledgees, donees or successors
     of or from any such other holders of notes, do not beneficially own any
     common stock other than the common stock issuable upon conversion of the
     notes at the initial conversion rate.
