(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's LYONs at a conversion rate of
16.3335 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 Rights." 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 278,811,087 shares of common stock outstanding as of
March 31, 2001. In calculating this amount, we treated as outstanding that
number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all of a
particular holder's LYONs. However, we did not assume the conversion of any
other holder's LYONs.
(3) Information about other selling securityholders will be set forth in
prospectus supplements, if required.
(4) Assumes that any other holders of LYONs, or any future transferees,
pledgees, donees or successors of or from any such other holders of LYONs,
do not beneficially own any common stock other than the common stock
issuable upon conversion of the LYONs at the initial conversion rate.
