You should read this prospectus supplement in conjunction with the prospectus, and this prospectus supplement is qualified by reference to the prospectus, except to the extent that the information in this prospectus supplement supersedes the information contained in the prospectus.

| (1) | Assumes conversion of all of the holder’s notes at a conversion rate of 33.0565 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the notes. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as described under “Description of the Notes – Conversion of the Notes.” 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)(i) of the Exchange Act, using 53,197,081 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2003. In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all that holder’s notes, but we did not assume conversion of any other holder’s notes. | |||
Investing in the notes or shares of common stock involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 5 of the prospectus.
