(1)   Assumes conversion of all of the holder’s notes at a conversion rate of approximately 55.172 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of notes and that we pay the $300 in cash rather than stock. However, this conversion rate will be subject to adjustment as described under “Description of Notes — Conversion of the Notes.” As a result, the amount 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 120,256,352 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 4, 2003. 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.
