Lipper Offshore Convertibles, L.P.       $2,000,000            1.333%              126,534                *

* Less than one percent (1%).
(1)  Assumes conversion of all of the holder's notes at a conversion rate
     of 63.2671 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
     139,471,607 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 2, 2001. 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 7 of the
prospectus.

         Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state
securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or
determined if this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

         The date of this prospectus supplement is January 22, 2002.
