(1)        Assumes conversion of all of the holder’s notes at a conversion rate of 22.5306 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the notes. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described under “Description of Notes—Conversion rights.” As a result, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase in the future. Excludes shares of common stock that may be issued by us upon the repurchase of the notes and fractional shares. Holders will receive a cash adjustment for any fractional share amount resulting from conversion of the Notes, as described under “Description of Notes—Conversion rights.”

 

(2)        Calculated using 32,841,041 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 21, 2003. In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that holder’s notes, but we did not assume conversion of any other holder’s notes.

 

(3)        Assumes that all holders of notes, or any future transferees, pledgees, donees or successors of or from such 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.

 

Except as a selling securityholder, and as described above in this prospectus supplement, no selling securityholder listed in the above table has had any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years.

 

The date of this Prospectus Supplement is October 27, 2004.
