(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's LYONS at a conversion rate of
    7.7062 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 63,828,321 shares of common stock outstanding as of
    August 30, 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.

                                       4

(3) Information about other selling security holders will be set forth in
    prospectus supplements, if required.

(4) Assumes that the holders of LYONS, or any future transferees, pledgees,
    donees or successors of or from any such holder 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.

    We prepared this table based on the information supplied to us as of
December 20, 2001, by the selling security holders named in the table. The
selling security holders listed in the above table may have sold or transferred,
in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
some or all of their LYONS since the date on which the information is presented
in the above table. Information about the selling security holders may change
over time. Any changed information supplied to us will be set forth in future
prospectus supplements.

    Because the selling security holders may offer all or some of their LYONS or
the underlying common stock from time to time, we cannot estimate the amount of
the LYONS or the underlying common stock that will be held by the selling
security holders upon the termination of any particular offering. See "Plan of
Distribution."

                            ------------------------

    INVESTING IN THE LYONS INVOLVES RISKS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THE "RISK
FACTORS" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 9 OF THE PROSPECTUS.

    NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE
ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
